Sims 4 Fairies Pack
Notice as of June 17th, 2021:
Okay, maybe I'll post every now and then. Partially because I want something social to do (other than Twitter, FB, whatever... stuff I wish didn't exist xD) and my anger diminished a little lol. I'll give this one last shot.
——————————————————
So, here are my ideas. Feel free to suggest anything, or add your own opinions!
So in other posts I mentioned how I'm desperate for fairies. I highly doubt I'm the only one. :tongue:
To start, I think an ideal thing would be to have a game pack dedicated to them with their own world, along with their own perk trees, unique abilities both new and some old things from the Sims 3. If that isn't possible, it would be nice to include them in an expansion pack very similarly to how mermaids were integrated in Island Paradise.
CAS
I think we should have a mixture of new and old wings from the Sims 3. My ideas are dragonfly, butterfly, lady bug (that would be an interesting one to pull off, but I think it can be done), bumble bee, moth, various leaves, ethereal, and perhaps avian (bird wings)? Many different sparkles and glitter unique to each pair of wings, but perhaps not as bright, or flashy (as in no aura coming out of their back from their wings), and not as transparent as their Sims 3 counterparts. The wings would look nice to have elegant patterns, opaque (or at least color swatches that give us the option to either be transparent or opaque), and colorful, the option to make the iridescent/multicolored, with dynamic animations according to what the sims are doing, and maybe an idle animation, like the occasional soft flapping and fluttering, or being folded down behind their backs when not in use, like real life bugs. Of course, each should have numerous color swatches much like the mermaid tails.
Fairies should, of course, be able to levitate around using said wings, and perhaps have a similar self interaction like "I can fly!" from Sims 3.
Something like this.

Of course, we can't have fairies without traditional fantasy wear! Of course we should definitely have leafy and flowery outfits! But perhaps a bit more than what the Sims 3 had. In extension, it would be very fun and beautiful for some of the new outfits to be bug-like. Such as imitating butterfly or moth wings, or a lady bug outfit to match lady bug wings? It would also be stunning to have ethereal, angelic, royal, and crystalline outfits and/or tops and bottoms, plenty of accessories!
New skintones, or at least skin decorations such as leaves, flowers, or swirls. The option to shape ears into an elven shape.
New trait(s) and life wish(es).
Lore
This may or may not be possible, but the fact that we have fairy familiars for spellcasters could contribute to some lore and emotions? What if a playable fairy saw a fairy familiar, and gain a sad, tense, or angry moodlet for seeing their bound cousins. On the other side of the coin, they could be happy that their familiar cousins have become so dedicated to their spellcaster, and willingly being by their sides? Either or, I think playable fairies should have at least some kind of reaction to the fairy familiars.
Aside from that, it'd be interesting for them to have a backstory, or a particular fairy being with a backstory, like Vladislaus Straud from Vampires, or some of the spellcasters.
Abilities
Wouldn't be the Sims 4 without emotion inducers! Of course, much like the Sims 3, fairies should have auras or certain spells that would effect the emotions of the sims they target. Right now I don't have much to think on when it comes to said types of spells. So feel free to suggest!
Elemental abilities would be a lot of fun. Kind of like the Tinker Bell movies, fairies could have some influence on water, air, ice, and earth? (I'm having a hard time picturing fire fairies, personally, but feel free to come up with something about it that I haven't!)
The ability to hide their wings in order to hide their true natures to other sims?
Then we've got an integration for those who own Seasons, Island Paradise, and other occult life states. I'll explain below.
Water and Ice
The power to manipulate water, oceans, lakes, fish, fountains, put out fires, hot tubs, pools, showers, toilets, sinks, dowsing a sim, pranking a sim, summoning rain storms/thunder storms (though with mermaids having that ability, that may just end up being a carbon repeat...), producing puddles, cooling off overheated sims, having the ability to interact uniquely with mermaids, and simply bending and playing with water, not unlike the water benders of Avatar: The Last Airbender.
Having the ability to manipulate the snow, or summon snowy weather (even in worlds you wouldn't normal see snow), freeze sims (not enough to kill them, just as a prank), bring snowmen to life, some Nutcracker Suite-inspired stuff, definitely having an influence during the winter holidays, causing bodies of water to become thicker ice so that sims could skate on it.
Air
This is where the fun of the avian wings would come in! The ability to clear the skies (though again, mermaids have that ability, so I don't know the full use of that), create winds to blow leaves or prank sims, a stupid joke with summoning "inner winds" that makes a sim pass gas over and over again... just... because... it's Sims... :lol:
Faster flying, making things float, creating rainbows, bestow something like "Flight of Felicity" from the Sims 3 to non-fairy sims, being able to blow autumn leaves or flower petals all over the place, creating a miniature tornado to prank sims, make messes, or simply remove leaves or pests.
Earth
These would be the most classic of the fairies. Gardens and nature would be associated with these fairies, with the ability to rapidly grow crops, revive dead crops (or kill crops if they're mean or evil), talk to plants, have a special hidden interaction for plant sims, having great influence within Sylvan Glade, giving fellow sims a nature-related buff moodlet, pranking sims by having flowers growing out of their skin, having a great love of animals and forests, get a moodlet themselves when they're around several plants, whether they be crops or decorative plants, produce seeds, give a green thumb blessing to sims, etc.
Ethereal and Emotional
Auras of course, being able to bless or curse sims with various light or dark abilities, inducing emotions with some type of mystical manipulation, something similar to "Inner Beauty" from Sims 3, being able to turn ordinary sims into fairies, various pranks as stated above, freeing bound fairy familiars, and other ethereal and emotional things I'm not thinking of. :lol:
Of course, if a perk tree is possible, it would be interesting, as to not make it overpowered, for fairies to choose their path, and use the points they gain to be dedicated to certain aspects or abilities. They should have limited magic and energy, and certain side perks to reduce the amount they spend, or have more generalized passive or ability perks.
I also think it would be really cool if toddlers and children had very limited abilities as fairies (mainly just for their entertainment), and their perk trees being unlocked (or at least having more abilities) when they become teen and older. But all ages should have fairy wings I believe.
World
It should be split into three to four districts. Water/snow lands, deep and very beautiful enchanted forests, and floating crystalline lots and islands. If that's too much, then a colorful mystical forest containing both natural and crystalline structures decorating the place with a few lots would be fine, as they would be compatible with other worlds more easily. There should definitely be a magic feel to it.
Build/Buy
Definitely themed things like sticks, flowers, leaves, crystals, ice, etc.

I also think there could be great inspiration taken from these two dollmaker games from Azalea's Dolls:

In conclusion... I have no conclusion. :lol:
What do you guys think?
