Fairies is (not) the next Game Pack 😔

In the last livestream the sims team announced that in a few weeks they will be announcing a new game pack and a kit, there's been a lot of theorising that this upcoming game pack will be fairies, so I wanted to make a thread to specifically discuss the rumors and possibility of a fairies game pack, and any wishes/wants anyone has for the pack!

The biggest hint we have pointing to fairies at the moment is a tweet one of the gurus made a few weeks ago, this tweet was in response to another tweet asking if you could play in a world for a weekend what would it be.

This tweet sparked fairy rumors as they suggested something very similar for a fairies pack in an survey a few years ago, and recently they've been making a lot of packs inspired by old surveys. In this survey they suggested a fairies pack with a "hidden fairy world that would only work if you're playing the new fairy sims"

It's sort of been dismissed as the gurus messing around, but we now know the original tweet was hinting at the pack trials which started last weekend so it's still possible that this tweet could also be a hint, and it's very coincidental that these tweets came just days before they announced a game pack was coming...

They've also been releasing occults every other year - aliens in 2015, vampires in 2017, then spellcasters and mermaids in 2019 so it's very likely we'll see a new occult this year. What are your thoughts on a possible fairies pack and what would you want to see in it if it is the next pack? (Please no fighting between occult vs family players)

    I want to start by saying I love occult sims, so I am not asking to be a ❤️❤️❤️❤️ but how are fairies very much different from spell casters apart from having wings to fly instead of using a broom/mop (like in RoM)? I guess despite my Irish roots I’m not well versed in fairy lore.


    My thoughts echo @DaWaterRat's - For me the key difference to spellcasters (although I know its highly likely we'll get a human looking Tinkerbelle type faery) is that the Fae aren't human. They are from another realm entirely. In folklore, some fae benefit humans and some thwart us, dependent on our actions. The message they bring is to be respectful of nature and not dismiss it or underestimate them or else! Magically they are powerful and their magic is connected to the natural world. In the game it could work to encourage eco-friendliness.
