ayy you made the thread, i LOVE all your ideas!!
when i picture fairies i picture mischievous & giggly creatures.
as for ts4 fairies i'd love them with lots of glitter, sparkles, fairy dust, slightly shiny auras, and i'd love if they had a slight magic glitter sound when they move/fly, but very slight just to not annoy the players. i'd also love if they could shrink and had some gameplay while shrunk. i know that would be hard to animate but i would really love it. i'd love if they had a perks tree. ts3 could be a great influence on the gameplay they could use now & it could also get expanded. like you said, fairies could play a big role on emotions influence and could also get in the way of someone else's relationship, sabotaging it or inducing it. they could also be able to talk to animals & plants. element fairies like the ones from the tinkerbell movies would be pretty cool too, and i don't think they'd really need seasons except for the winter one, but some crossover gameplay would be great.
i'd love if also the current Sylvan Glade fx fairies get an enhancement to the point of being interactable. sims could go to Sylvan Glade & talk with these fairies, and depending on the interactions sims could gain fairy powers or get pranked by them.
a controversial idea, but like vampires, fairies could get the chance to break into sims houses at night & break their stuff while shrunk & giggling on the process! this would annoy almost everyone LOL (it could come with a toggle tho) but it would be hilarious.
as for the world, i'd love a Sylvan Glade but bigger and livable, expanded with the things you mentioned.
if we happen to get werewolves on the same pack, then the world could be like this: the light side where there's a fairy community, and the darker side of the world where all the werewolves would hide on.
yep i'd also love a bit of fairies lore just because! like for example bringing our first fairy in the franchise, our Faerie Queen Mara from ts1! <3

and we could also get a new npc just for the lols, the tooth fairy, so our kids could finally lose their teeth and then the tooth fairy would come! if the kids have bad grades they could just leave nothing or a prank, but if the kid has good grades they could leave some cash.

i love that book! <3
as much as i'd love to see more folklore-like fairies, for the sims aesthetic & stuff i think a Tinkerbell inspired fairy would do just right for now, like in the case of mermaids. the design is simple yet pretty, it's how lots of people picture them, too.
