First off, I hope that Fairy CAS is more than just wings and pointed ears. I don't expect it to be too much more than that, but I'm a student of Faerie lore, and Cute little things with wings, aka Pixies, are just one type of Faerie. I don't expect it to be as extensive as I'd want (or that skin update would be coming with this update, not the next one) but I hope we can at least do Elves, and maybe shoehorn in something goblin-like (just need to be able to morph the face in Fairy form without that affecting the mundane form), in addition to Pixies. But I also have to prepare myself for it basically being just wings slapped on the otherwise normal Sim, which will be ... underwhelming, to say the least. Kinda like how I found the fairy house.
[deleting rant about how Victorian England nerfed Faerie to make them "safe" and how, to date, Batuu is the only place EA has gone deeper than Pop-Culture for non-real world inspired things]
Now, is there plenty of space for Fairies to get a skill tree? Sure. what's been teased for the rest of the pack has not been that deep or extensive. But we're also looking at EA's track record, and prior to Life and Death it has not been good for occults in Expansion Packs, and we don't really have enough data to say that Life and Death represented a change in approach, rather than a miracle one-off. That they didn't also take the opportunity to slip in a Mermaid Basinette or some alien infant clothing options that weren't refits of Alien Toddler options (caveat, I have not played with aliens or mermaids since before the infant update, but I think I would have heard something) doesn't really speak well to it being a new direction.
Basically EA has let us down with missed opportunities before, to the point where some people feel it's better to start with the worst case scenario, so that what we do get becomes a pleasant surprise, rather than being let down again.
I agree.
You don't tell your children what you bought them for Christmas...🤫🙂
Just hours away from the big reveal!
Yeah, but when you've gotten the kids off-brand knock offs or incomplete playsets for several years, you can't expect them to be brimming with excitement expecting a top of the line complete train set just because two years ago you got them a cool set of action figures.
Also, I'm not a kid. This is not a gift. This is a $40USD pack I have to budget for, and I have a lot going on this summer that is also demanding my fun money.
It was just an example....
Of course you and I are not kids.
I try not to jump to conclusions until I see all the facts in front of me...so far I haven't seen enough information to become negative about the EP. ☺️
Why I understand that we do not have enough evidence,but I think Life and Death is reacent enough.To aleast consider it.
1.Ea knows faries have been highly requested and they know people expect them to be fleshed out.
2.The supernaturals in expansions packs happen years ago.Aliens was first with no tease or mention in trailer.Mermaids evan though they are more flesh out than sims 3.They were never a big advertisement for the pack.The last one was robots.Which again were robots.
Robots.
I hope that the team will concentrate on robots if we ever get a Futuristic EP...
I'm remaining hopeful that fairies are represented right and true after playing them in sims 3.
Yay, I'm looking forward to the trailer! I find myself on the fence for this pack, but we don't really know much yet. And, I ought to step down eventually, at one side or the other.
Yes, they were in The Sims 1. I know there was some functionality with them in Makin' Magic, like controlling them or something.
I like what I am seeing so far. I like the BB style and I like how the fairies look. They haven‘t revealed yet how the fairies work and if they have a skill tree, but I have high hopes.
I'm very confused by the official trailer. I have no idea what to expect after watching it:
