@sailorleontine and @jordyou23 , I've also have wanted Fairies in the Sims 4 for the longest time! 🥰🥳
@sailorleontine I like a lot of your ideas for Faires! While I'm not the biggest fan of The Sims 3, I did love the Fairies in it , especially their wings! 😍 I wish my Faires could have little mushroom and flower houses! 🍄🌷🌼 I would also hope for some interpack gameplay with the other supernatural Sim types we have (Vampires, Aliens, PlantSims, Ghosts, Mermaids, Werewolves) and some special interactions with packs like Cottage Living, like with the animals in that pack, both the wild ones and the domesticated ones, not to mention the crops and other harvestables!
Yes, I also agree with @jordyou23 in that I think it will be a while if we get this pack because we just had Werewolves released, so it would be at the very least a year from now, but probably in 2 or 3 years.
Here's hoping we get them fairly soon! 🤞🧚♀️🧚♂️💗
thanks haha and i'm a huge fan of fairies (coming from a Tinkerbell series fan lol)
i wondered why fairies wasn't added in the game once i discovered sims 4 back in 2020
(i heard they have fairies in the sims 3 but i'm also NOT a fan of the sims 3 neither)
i like your ideas aswell, i hope EA sees it and make it a fairy pack in the sims 4
(we already have aliens, vampires, spellcasters, mermaids and werewolves so why not fairies?)

@sailorleontine , I think Fairies weren't added to the Sims 4 by the time you started playing in 2020 was because they had so many ideas they wanted to implement. They had all the usual themes for packs that had been in previous versions of the Sims like Seasons, University, pets, social activities/cities, being a celebrity, and jobs you could join along with your Sim; but, they also had new ideas like Strangerville, Eco Lifestyle, Parenthood, Outdoor Retreat, etc. And then they took a new twist on old ideas by separating supernatural types of Sims into their own packs. Aliens have always been a part of the Sims (Sims one didn't have the actual Aliens, but you could get abducted) and Vampires are usually the most asked for. Other than ghosts (which we had in every version since Sims 1) which came early on in the Sims 4 in the base game, the most asked for supernatural Sims were witches and mermaids. I do wish we had Mermaids separate from the Island Living Pack , as well as Aliens separate from the Get to Work pack , so that they could be as detailed as the other Supernaturals in Sims 4. But I'm very happy they separated Vampires, Werewolves, and Spellcasters (witches).
But since not everyone likes to play with supernaturals, they have to intersperse the packs with normal things like Parenthood, Seasons, Cats & Dogs, etc. So that is why it has taken so long to get Werewolves and would take even longer to get Fairies and/or Zombies. 😅
Well, out of my 3 favorite things about Sims 3, one of them was the Fairies! (the other 2 were the CASt color/pattern tool, and the Pets EP with dogs and cats that you could control , as well as horses and unicorns! ) And while there were other things I enjoyed about Sims 3, I didn't like it as much over all compared to Sims 4 and especially Sims 2🥰🥳 !!! (Hard to compare it to Sims 1, since you couldn't age in that game, and children couldn't become adults unless you used a magic spell, but then they would probably not resemble themselves as children! 😅 But I think I even like Sims 1 better than Sims 3. Not a popular opinion! 😅😜 ) The Sims 3 open world was usually devoid of other Sims activity (in Sims 1, 2, and 4, when I visit a commercial lot, no matter what time, there will always be other Sims there to interact with!). I also had a bad time with Sims 3 lagging, outright stopping for long periods of time, and frequent crashing. The Sims 2 is still my favorite!- sailorleontine4 years agoSeasoned Ace
that's completely fine, don't want EA to rush it out (i discovered sims 4 right before eco lifestyle came out)
and i understand why they didn't added fairies because for the reasons you have mentioned
(i always thought Spellcasters were witches before i even knew it was called spellcasters hehe)i'm in for zombies and other supernatural ones, and i'm also a bit into real life games (i'm a mix of both fantasy and real life gamer in the sims)
i'm guessing we have the same opinion with the sims games, the sims 2 is all the way my favourite from all the sims games
followed by the sims 4, sims 1 and the sims 3 as the last place- PugLove8884 years agoHero (Retired)
@sailorleontine , wow! That is amazing that we rank the versions of the Sims in the same way! 😮😎 Yes, I do like a bit of realism in the game. Not exactly a fan of laundry in the game, though I do love the Laundry Day SP for the CAS and B&B items that it has! I would have been satisfied with just decorative washers and dryers! 😅 That way we could have realistic looking houses without being bothered to have to do laundry all the time. 😉 When I actually want to use the laundry features, I prefer the wash tub and clothes line, because it is more different than what I do in real life, and I like the soap bubble animations!
But, I love families in the game, and like realistic things like helping kids and teens with their school projects (thanks to Parenthood), and watching toddlers learn to speak and use the potty on their own. And I love gardening in the game! most of my households have at least a small garden. So there are a lot of realistic day-to-day things that I enjoy having my Sims do, in addition to all the whacky things ! 😄 So, I am really excited for the High School Years EP that is coming soon! 🙌
@daikoyu , yes, I think at the very earliest we would have to wait a year, but even that seems too soon because of them just releasing Werewolves! Especially since they only have been releasing only 1 EP and only 1 or 2 GP's for the last couple of years, when they used to release 2 EPs a year in the past. So I agree it will be some time before we get any supernatural Sim pack !
While it didn't bother me about Sims 3 Fairy wings always being shown, I understand why you would hope that we had the option to hide them. But the way all the other supernatural Sims in TS4 have disguises/2 forms, it seems to be the way they are doing things now, so I would be surprised if Fairies didn't also have 2 forms/the ability to hide their wings! 😉
I did get rid of all my Mods/CC in TS3 because of the lag and problems that I had. While it did help some, by the time I had done that the game was bigger and even more laggy. I also didn't know who to trust for technical issues and if the fix required additional money or technical knowledge that I didn't have to implement, then I couldn't have fixed it anyway. Apparently, there were some Mods that would have actually helped the game perform better, but I didn't know that then!
But, that still wouldn't have helped with the empty open world problem that you and I hated! 😫 If I was trying to get my Sim to meet someone not in their family by taking them to a public place like a club, park, library, etc, nobody would be there. I would wait forever and by the time someone finally showed up, by Sim would either fall over asleep, or pee themselves, or have to go to work (not having taken care of their needs)! I hated it! 😭 And yes, I had plenty of CC in TS3, but don't have any in TS4. I prefer the looks of the Sims in TS4, so I totally agree with you on that! 😅
@valohim666 , Navi!!! 🧚♀️💗🤣 I'm playing OOT for the first time and am stuck at trying to get the large quiver. I have seen Let's Play playthroughs of it before and I know there is a Giant Poe hunt coming up and I have great difficulty aiming the bow in that game even when not on horseback (I did not have as much trouble aiming the bow in TP, SS, LA, or BOTW!). But I always have Zelda music in my head! 😅🥰 I was thinking that if we got a Fariy pack in TS4 , that I would make a Navi, as well as Tattle and Tale Fairies! Or at least how I would envision them if we were tiny enough to see their faces (or if they were big enough to be our size!).
I still want a Fairy pack, but I do agree with you on expanding Sylvan Glade! That place would be better even if you didn't have to wait for the trees to grow. I found it odd that at least in that location that you had to be there long enough for the plants to grow enough to pick their produce, which is especially difficult with the trees!😫 And it is even worse since Seasons came out, because now they have to be in season as well! I think a magical place should defy the normal laws of plant growth and have all the produce available upon the first visit, no matter what time of year it is! 🤨 Also, the hidden location/mine in Oasis Springs is even more lackluster, despite the fact that you have to have a level 10 Handiness skill just to even visit there! 😖 It isn't worth the effort, although the idea of it was a good one!
