I like all of your suggestions for the magical distinctions.

Maybe you're right about the framework, but the the things that gives me hope is that its already done, so less work for the developers, just the spells would be unique.

In terms of their interactions, even Realm of magic didn't have a very extensive list of dialogue options. I don't think there was even an option to admit to being a Spellcaster, for instance.

No, but there's a level 2 perk you can buy that gives you different interactions when talking to another spellcaster.

I mean, I think I'd be okay if fairies got a specific trait relative to their "type" and then got mostly the same interactions with slightly different special effects and only one or two abilities specific to that type - like "Garden" fairies would have flower petal effects and could bless a plant, Home fairies got little dust whirlwinds and could clean/repair things, Fire fairies had sparks of flame and could set things on fire, etc.

It's not as robust as I think they could do with a Game Pack, but it might be enough.

However, if I'm being honest, since the bulk of the fairy speculation appears to be based off of GrimSuruDoi's acrostic poems, and he doesn't tweet hints he just likes words and poetry (I know people don't believe that, but it's true.) I'm not sure how much I'm expecting fairies anyway. They may be in the pack, they may not, but Doi didn't hint that they were... people just ran with it.

Yes, I agree, I think you're right that its a stretch of imagination and I'm certainly not banking on Faeries being in this pack, but if they are, then as I said previously, it might not be the worst possible option, for the reasons already stated. Here's to hoping whenever we do get them, that they'll meet enthusiasts expectations and thank you for engaging.

I'm totally ready for some Fairies.

I don't think mermaids were that bad .

Mermaids weren't bad, but I still want Faeries to have more depth than Pranksters with Wings, which is about all I'd expect if they're squeezed into an Expansion pack.

They could have more depth than that with this expansion. I imagine we're not getting horses with this.We might get some farm animals.

I honestly am not holding my breath for fairies, because I feel like that's a really good way to end up sad and disappointed, but I really, sincerely hope we get horses and other farm animals. Trying to have a 'cowplant ranch' because that's your only option sounds fun at first, but is boring and rather pathetic in practice. That, and it freaks me out when people try to make big dogs into horses. It's creative, but...nightmare fuel.

There has been obvious clues recently for Fairies.

What's obvious to some may not be obvious to others.

Also hoping Fairies won't be included in this pack. I doubt they'll have depth if they are.

Could it be that theyg are fooling us - that they pretend we'll be getting faeries, but we'll actually get ferries? ;)

If faeries I hope we can enjoy the pack without triggering them. I'm not saying thsat I will never enjoy a set up with myth creatures involved, I just don't want them to populate my sims' gardens without me telling them to.

I'm really hoping faeries don't come in this pack, especially if it is farming as other speculation is saying. The reason being, because faeries will either get the mermaid or alien treatment when they deserve a pack all to themselves. Honestly, I feel it would be a punch in the stomach to occult fans and those of us who really want fae if they're treated as a side feature.

I think it would be a gut punch to people who want real farming. The packs don't have all the gameplay they use to in the Sims 3. If horses or any supernatural are present then the animals and gameplay for real farming won't be there. Those things take up too much resources and should be in their own pack. They have zero to do with real farming/real animals that produce products. I want realistic farm play with a bunch of animals: cows, chickens, pigs, goats, sheep, ect. Maybe the fairy symbol is a hint for a pack coming later in the year instead. Fairies and werewolves should have a pack together with a world that is larger like the Windiburg or whatever they called it. We are paying good money, so we should be getting never before seen stuff with Farming and with fairies, just not together.

Given the pattern of the latest EPs I just can't see fairies being added in this pack.

*If* assumptions of country living (I'm deliberately keeping that vague) and garden markets are correct then there's a lot to pack in there and personally to me adding on fairies will end up diluting the pack and I'm guessing they don't want to draw attention to how lacking Island Living was let alone that Realm of Magic was a flashy dud of a game pack. If Gardening is a main feature then I can see Gnomes/Plantsims getting more functionality....

Each to their own and as always I could be 100% wrong here! After all I was convinced they would have at least added a stylist carreer to Dream Home Decorator. ??

I would like if a full plantsim lifestate came with the ep. Because they aren't really magical and wouldn't need any skill tree or anything like that. I really miss them since they're one of my favourite occults.
I just need them to be a permanent lifestate, the ability to grow plantbabies, as well as having leafy "hair"!

Fairies would be better in a gp dedicated just for them, since they are magical. A skill tree would make sense for them.
