Royalty & Legacy - Dynasty Ideals not for Fairy.

Hi! Today I learned that fairies aren't included in the dynasty's ideals. 
I can choose a Mystic Ideal, which includes:

Cry & Mourn
Discuss Mysteries, Death, Occult
Stargazing
Moonbathing
Use Voodoo Doll
Read Tarot Cards
Do Seances
Use Alien Powers
Use Vampire Powers
Drink Plasma
Cast Spells
Use Good Ghost Mastery
Use Evil Ghost Mastery
Possess Objects
Use Werewolf Abilities

As you can see, these ideals don't include fairy abilities. By the way, spellcasters can also brew potions, but only spells are included.
Okay. I can assume that fairies are not mystics, but children of nature. Then let us consider another Ideal, namely the Nature - Loving which includes: 

Tend Garden
Fish
Look for Frogs
Collect Butterflies
Look for, Breed, or Release Axolotls
Care for Pets
Play with Pets
Care for Small Pets
Care for Livestock
Care for Ranch Animals
Conservation Activities
Swim
Install Eco Friendly Upgrades


Again nothing for fairies. Perhaps Mysterious Ideals aren't suitable for fairies. The negative actions for this ideal are "Be Funny." I know fairies are different, but fairies have a passive abilitie "The caster gains a small amount of Emotional Force from Friendly, Romantic, or Funny socials".

Sims Team gave us the lore. Mother Nature created fairies. Based on this knowledge, perhaps the Nature - Loving Ideal would be suitable for fairies? I also see the negative actions in the Ideal don't conflict with fairies. Fairies don't necessarily need to watch TV, they can fulfill their Fun needs in the Fairy House or in any other way. 

Include fairies in the Ideals! Sims team, I believe in you! 🦋

    I think they need to tweak "Mysterious" (as well as maybe other ideals) more. You'd think an occult would nail this Ideal like gardeners/fishing/natural living skill Sims would nail Naturel-Loving, and that the autonomy would help occults act more like occults, but it really doesn't.

    Besides fixated on the seance table or playing with voodoo doll (if in inventory and if bound to a nearby Sim). I feel this Ideal really needs to be fleshed out more. 

    With Clubs occult actions like "Cast Chaotic Spells" or "Cast Helpful Spells" actually are autonomous. Besides if you toggle to
    "Always Transportalate" Sims aren't doing any occult autonomy (I don't know if some occults do, but not Spellcasters, and as you mentioned not fairies either).

    They also do not do tarot autonomously which since it is on a cool down should be done autonomously for at least for self. And unless a Sim has tarot in inventory they won't do it anyways (similar to voodoo doll).

    I think they really should tweak ideals a bit more, but it probably needs more player feedback.

    I was mostly thinking about increasing Dynasty Prestige through Ideals. After reading your post, maybe it's worth reducing aggressive autonomous actions too. Sims Team once reduced the chance of Ailments in EBN. Is there a chance the Sims team will release a fix?

    I mean I believe they are "actively investigating" object/activity obsessed Sims even before this pack (they say that is upcoming for update/patch for spring I think). So hopefully, I mean I wanted better autonomy with traits, now I want better autonomy with ideals. I'd like my occults to act like occults without my direction. But not to be obsessive either.

    But I mean both in increasing prestige generally, and through autonomy. Mysterious/Devious seem to be harder to increase prestige through autonomy vs. Nature Loving/Diplomatic for example.
