Blue Moon Potions, Potables and Ponderings

@cyncie @VeeDub

Thank you :)

Right that is the gamepack and stuff pack sorted. Expansion - Well, I can only choose between Island Living, Snowy Escape, Seasons and Cats and Dogs, so I am guessing its a no brainer- Seasons?

There are fairies IN Sylvan Glade, but they're the tiny delicate kind that may be hard to see. You can often hear them giggling before you see them.

Ooh really? I'm going to go back there and look for that. I've never noticed that. I guess that would explain the mushroom fairy ring then lol

*edited to say it's just that I was expecting something bigger the size of a Sim :lol:

Yeah, there are only little glowy orbs that are kind of human-fairy shaped if you look really, really closely…. I think. *squints*

There is a lovely fairy mod (that comes along in a combo with a dark witch occult mod as well) that uses powers and assets stuff from RoM and Seasons, if you’re not opposed to mods.

I’m going to use it myself since I love fairies so much. I try to limit myself on mod use, and usually try to avoid it when I can, but I want my fairies sooooo bad. (At least I still have Sims 3 Supernatural to sort of fill some of that niche once in a while.)

Mermaids are a bit of a downgrade from Sims 3 mermaids, but they’re my favorite supernatural beings. I hope fairies in Sims 4 still keep some elements from Sims 3 fairies. I loved their wings, the flying, being good with gardening, and the various spells, including some mischief spells. I miss them.

I feel like RoM has some elements of the Sims 3 fairies’ spells, though. (And maybe inspired spells from Sims 3 genies, like a cleaning spell?)

I feel RoM is the closest I will get to fairies in Sims 4, and the mod will help make that fairy dream possible. :smile:

(The mod is called Fairies vs Witch mod and is created by SpinningPlumbobs, if anyone else is interested. It’s available free on their Patreon page. There are some YouTube videos that show a bit of the mod’s gameplay.)

Welcome! And fyi, Fairy is one of the familiars in ROM, although these fairies are a bit…unusual?

For the most bang for your buck, I would say so. Although, I do love Island Living with the mermaids and Moana vibe.

I highly recommend Seasons, yes! ?? If you want anything with weather, and if you want sims to sometimes feel the heat or cold, and some little seasonal interactions (and a few new deaths), then Seasons is a must-have! (Bundle up for the cold! Stay cool during the summer! And be careful of lightning!)

Also, I think it’s because of Seasons, but my mermaid sims seemed to have the ability to summon the rain and thunderstorms….

Edited to add: Seasons also has a calendar and you can adjust the lengths of the seasons and create holidays. Making holidays is fun, too! You can make up holidays and choose from a list on what traditions you want for certain days and can change which days the holidays come on.

Has anyone else tried making Faeries from Aliens and then cheating on the Spellcaster trait? I mean, it's not perfect, and there are some limitations on making changes in CAS, but Aliens don't have any changes to their needs panel, and Spellcasters don't have a second form, so it's the least ... glitchy of the possible hybrids. And Aliens having an alternate form means that there's a kind of Glamour effect where they disguise themselves And the weird "not behaving completely human" thing that Aliens do.

I haven't pushed it much, just in the early generations of my current legacy, which is well beyond that now, but it's something I may explore further later.

Thank you all :) All downloaded and installed and I have just fired up my game. Lots of new stuff to learn and explore!

Nice!! Hehe, I know the feeling, since I still have packs to explore. Have fun and enjoy!!! ??

Ahh, my home away from home. Hello my fellow Ghouls and Goblins! *Orders a Plasma Jane*

Speaking of Goblins, for those who are feeling the long ache for your Fae kin, there are ways to bring a sort of alternate version into the game to sustain you until a proper pack comes out. Using powers from Realm of Magic, alternate forms from Vampires, costumes from Spooky Stuff, and variants from other packs, you can create your own. Here are some examples:

Elf:


Dryad:


Fairies:


Beast Kin:


Pixie:


Sprite:


And, of course, your Goblin folk:


I'll note that I did use one mod briefly to unlock all CAS in order to create them and I do still need to update a few of them with the new fingernails (or claws). The Fairies have recently acquired star wands which I think makes them kind of funny and exaggerated. But Fae folk are really fun to create using some imagination and that fairy costume from Spooky Stuff has a lot of colors to choose from.

Now I need a few more Unseelie and the Courts will be balanced. I suppose my Naga serpents could be part of them. But I do long for an extensive fantasy CAS with some horns and weird hair styles, wing varieties, hooves, teeth, tusks, manes, mandibles, colored skins, hides, leafy, mossy and webbed clothing, etc. I think the Fae would look amazing in Sims 4.

@Lielf those are awesome! So creative.

@simgirl1010 Thank you! <3 One of my favorite things about the Sims 4 is the CAS and the wonderful variety of styles and assets. I feel like I don't need CC to be able to create something out of the ordinary (which I love to do!) and I love to explore the possibilities. I currently have some Genies/Djinn in the works for my next "occult" project. But the limited fantasy skin tones are frustrating me, lol. Oh well. I'll tweak them until I like them.
