Innisgreen is simply stunning.Early Access courtesy of EA/EA Creator Network

I’ve been away with the fairies for so long, I hardly know where to begin -or even what to say anymore. Being from Innisgreen-ish, I’m far too superstitious to ever say a bad word about the wee folk. So the positive thread it is! 😇I can’t promise I’ll buy the pack right away, but whenever I play TS4, I’m usually drawn to nature-focused gameplay (check) and occults (check). Anything that adds to the off-the-grid lifestyle is a win in my book. Honestly, as long as there’s no phone or computer in sight this creature is content. I love that nature-loving Sims can just drift off to sleep on any aul’ patch of outdoor ground provided that they don’t accidentally nod off near a pack of grumbly werebeasts. Actually I wouldn't mind.Now, I know the apothecary skill is basically a glorified herbalism skill -let’s be fair(y) – but that doesn’t bother me a bit, especially since we’re diving into fairy territory here. Hopefully it’s well implemented…we’ll just have to wait and sídhe. Personally, I’m really glad this skill is tied to this particular pack. It makes sense, given that the inspiration is largely Irish folklore / Ireland (I assume that’s what it is from what I’ve gathered: a Giant’s Causeway, colourful wee coastal town called Adhmore -Ádh mór is Irish for Good luck- friggin' clovers, FAIRIES) aye that's yer Themepark Ireland right there...Anyways, herbal healing is deeply rooted in that tradition and practiced by the Doctúir na Síofraí (Fairy Doctor), more commonly known as the Bean Feasa or wise woman. She'd be working with the fairies. She'd know all the gossip. I have a wise woman in my game – Biddy Bean Feasa, named after Biddy Early, one of Ireland’s legendary healers. I’m a bit of a folklore enthusiast, hence the nerd-out. I once had to send poor Biddy off to Granite Falls to gather a bunch of stink bugs and dust spirits,…for what?! A sneeze? She would have been better off buying a pack of antihistamines and be done with it. Let’s be brutaly honest, bugs never screamed “herbal” to me. Great for freaky witches, not so much for wise women. I do like that GP though... She’ll finally be able to connect with the wee folk properly now, good aul’ Biddy.As for the visuals – I’ve noticed a lot of bright pink Tinkerbellas and Tinkerfellas -types floating about, good grief, which I assume is just to hook a wider audience (probably the Barbie Dreamhouse fanatics among others), but I’ve also spotted some tiny horns, feathered wings, and more shadowy designs, which I’m more into 😈. I’ll be making a Reaper Fairy if that’s even possible -still haven’t had a chance to play with the L&D career- if we’re given the tools to make proper mischievous fairy folk, I think I can definitely work with this.Build/Buy looks stunning as is often the case these days. I’m especially intrigued by that earthy, hobbit-style home – makes me wonder if it’s part of a new build tool coming in the update?! My little folk of the mounds would definitely want one. Maybe next year after I’ve finished all my other builds...😬I won't keep ye I won't keep ye. I’ll leave you with a gem from my aul’ pal William Butler Yeats -one of my all-time favourites:The Lake Isle of InnisfreeI will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made;Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee,And live alone in the bee-loud glade.And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,And evening full of the linnet’s wings.I will arise and go now, for always night and dayI hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,I hear it in the deep heart’s core.

Okay, I can't stop. I may have a problem. I just want to keep creating Goblins. They are going to take over Sim Nation if this keeps up! I realized I had no female Gobbos. So this is Garba Grotto. She's a tinkerer of all things mechanical, electronic, and gear-worthy. She's also an ace scavenger and can often be seen rummaging around in dumpsters. Her den is littered with all kinds of trinkets and piles of broken machine parts, but don't ever try to clean up or she might bite you - she knows exactly where everything is. When scavenging she looks something like this:...When working, she looks like this...My next gob project... the Bumfuzzles!

I've been playing EBN since release day and LOVE the fairies, but just today discovered that fairies can cure vampirism with just a single command! I never noticed this before. I guess my fairies haven't been meeting any vampires because this was the first time I saw the option in the socials and was so excited!! 😍
My fairy met a random guy who turned out to be a vampire and I was debating if I wanted him to stay one and knew the long road ahead for him to learn the cure, but then discovered my Sim could do it without all the tomes and the wolfsbane and everything else. One little fairy flight around his head, zippity-do-dah, and he was human again!!!!
Now they're married. ❤️

It is great that you were able to get a sims 4 version of the sims 3 elixir shop from the gallery and are going to use it in your game. The exterior design reflects it very well! I hope that your furnishing of it and landscaping of the lot goes well, and that Julianna will enjoy running it 🙂

Now that Julianna has completed the Natural Living and Apothecary skills, the Elixir Enthusiast and Nature Nomad Aspirations, and is working as a Level 10 Master Apothecurist, she is ready to open her elixir shop.
I was able to find a build of the elixir shop from Sims 3, Aleister's Elixirs and Sundries. It's a 30x20 lot so I moved the Starsong Lounge (30x30) and placed it there. That location gets a lot of visitors.

I totally demolished the interior so will be starting from scratch. Also since the build is smaller than the lot I'll have to do a bit of landscaping. 😬

EbN's Natural Living Skill + RoM Practical Magic = Jungle Adventure made easy!
Sleeping, privy bushes (which are easier that the JA bathroom bushes), Scruberoo, Delicioso and Transportalate. I also used Plentiful Needs potion when enough needs where low at the same time too. I just burned through 2 temples XD

Congratulations to Julianna on completing the Innigreen Ingredients collection! 🙂That is great! The photo of her bottling the potion from Moondrop Springs is very pretty. The colours, sparkles and rainbow are very nice. It is also a very lovely photo of her bottling the potion from the other sim.

You can bottle it from Moondrop Springs.
Or you can collect and bottle it from another sim.
