Medieval Pack Faeries and Dragons

Since the horse pack has drawn me immediately back in to playing I'm almost expecting this one to be announced next, especially since fairies are the next most-requested occult in the game now that we have werewolves.

So I'm hopeful as far as what it will bring to the game when it almost inevitably arrives, I'm sincerely hoping for it to be medieval themed, a ton of new clothes, and medieval armor sets and decor..

And at the very least some hints at a storyline, even if we never get another strangerville.. if the pack needs a direction they could look at Lord of the Rings, or, way closer to home, Dragon Age for armor and clothing and decoration ideas..

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

I'd totally build my own chantry lol..

As for fairies they could easily have their own skill trees just like the other occults do, in addition to just having innate abilities like aliens and mermaids do, there is a lot of room to make them unique.. they could also add in a lot trait, if not several, associated with fairies, like being able to leave offerings for increased gardening/farming/skill building benefits.. or having fairies show up on your property and potentially cause chaos if you anger them..

 
For dragons, it would be cool if you could bond with them, and if doing so gave you some manner of magic (even if it's minor things like randomly finding treasure.. or bigger things like getting perks during fighting from having that bond or having your Sim get a longer life or straight up immortality like the elixir in RoM

I'd let them be "pets" personally, that act as a quest reward for the storyline element I mentioned, where, through doing the storyline you can get a dragon egg, and then customize the resulting hatchling and raise it to adulthood.

Having more medieval/gothic era architecture clothing and armor would go well with most of the occult packs, especially if they also add robes.. which were criminally absent from realm of magic.

They could add fencing, jousting, archery, more off the grid options for houses and sims, like physically writing books and not having to use computers to "write" would be nice.

If they really needed to they could just root it in the concept that it's a Renaissance Faire pack, there are plenty of things they could put in it if they did so that wouldn't break the "modern age" immersion people want with this game.

(Ended up combining this with an older post I forgot I made.

    @Amavari I just thought of this, since we have horses now, JOUSTING! Your sim can practice jousting and level up and challenge people-maybe even win money. That would be such a cute idea to go with the medieval theme!

    I so want a medieval world and the aspect to time travel. Historical Clothing is my thing too. Everyone rants about wanting unicorns but I feel like I am the only one that wants Pegasus. I love that we have mermaids, but I want winged Sirens too. I have elves with the vampire pointed ears but I really want Elves to be their own occult thing, with their own world. At the moment I used Glimmerbrook and Henford -on -Baglley.
    I saw there was a pack dedicated to this and while it looks great, it's like playing old games is not fun now. I would like to incorporated it in this game.

    I look forward to the new kits we voted on and they are in this vein.

    I wish they could make a festival like a Renaissance festival, similar to spooky party, and the get together clubs, at say the castle ruins. I do something similar at the moment, but its so hard and endless hours I might as well give up my day job and become a game developer. Takes the joy out of it. Would be cute if everyone just showed up in theme to the festival or event like spooky party.
  • I usually use spellcasters as elves and as wizards for the same reason, and for my Inheritance cycle (Eragon) and Lord of the Rings themed characters, and use vampire for my dark elves and evil characters.

    I also tend to give them all the "natural world" based powers the various packs have released, I do look forward to fairys for another occult option.. but I'd /really/ like a proper dragon that you can add to your family..

    If they want to go for modern realism I'm fine with a Renaissance festival themed pack with armor and clothing and archery and jousting.. sword fighting (!!!) preferably with a shield on the off hand.. things along those lines, all I really need for my medieval world is clothing, though dragon statues and things along those lines would be nice too.

    There are so many dragon age teases in game now that I really just want some Templar, Warden, and Seeker armor and chantry robes and decorations lol..

    And wizard/mage robes.. and medieval period clothing.. of course if there is armor for heroic knights there needs to be a dark lord.. and I want this for my vampires >.>
