Fairies are coming

The music artist who recorded her songs into simlish and used a fairy emoji on twitter was the confirmation for me.

I think that might have just been her saying recording a song for the game was like a 'fairytale' for her, since she'd played it since she was a child, to be honest. But we'll see. Fairies might well come outside of this pack, anyway.

Fairies are folklore in England too! We have 'Cornish Pixies' from Cornwall which was in the Harry Potter films.

It would be exciting if they added fairies as I can imagine them in a cute cottage house, but they might also make a dedicated game pack so they can expand further for them like they did for vampires etc I always chose to play the fairy so I would be so happy if they came with the expansion pack.

It’s been confirmed by a guru on Twitter - there is no new occult in Cottage Living.

What I will say though is a few things do strike me as possible hints. The little door at the very base on the bonus content, the grassy circles in the wide shot of the ruins after the bunny hoped back home and the cave in the hills in the same shot.

Big fae vibes to me.

Yes, I think a lot of people have been really surprised that there's nothing supernatural in this pack. It just feels like the perfect world backdrop for the fae and it seemed as if there were hints. Maybe, it's the next game pack? We can but hope :)

I think fairies will be the next game pack. One of the neighboorhoods in CL has fairy circles so it will be a good starting point for the fairies since the game pack world will be hidden like the realm of magic.

faeries would be so fun but we have to wate and see

One thing that gives me more hope for faeries being a more successful addition to a larger pack like this (compared to other supernatural Sims) is that many of the CAS assets that could go into making a popular Tinkerbelle type image of faeries are already available in the game and as we've seen recently, some talented Simmers have already created some fabulous faux faeries. I think there's even a mod that adds wings. So that would just mean, more items and animations.


Now, before you start to comment that Tinkerbelle isn't the only, or even the best representation of the fae folk in the world, I agree, but imo I think the team is likely to go with the popularised version, simply because they have before in Sims 3.

Wings (of the fake variety, paired with full outfit costumes) came with Spooky stuff, so I know they have the assets available. But even dealing just with Tinerbelle type fairies, there are more interpretations of pixies than just pranksters. It's not their appearance I worry about, it's their interactions and abilities.

And I agree, that's the kind they're likely to go with if they make Fairies playable.

I know it's not ideal, but I think its likely that they'll use the same framework as they did with spellcasters, but just with a different range of spells.

As someone who loves the stories of the fae, I know that it is possible to include untold richness, with their numerous legends and folklore, but this is the Sims 4 and even with their own dedicated pack, I doubt we'd get much of the depth that is truly possible with this particular supernatural. The fae are famous for their mischief and sometimes for being downright dangerous. What else would you like to see @DaWaterRat?
