Let's Talk Fairies! (And Werewolves)
Okay, I've been thinking about this for a while now, and although I made a thread some time back about Mythology for Fairies, I think that idea may have been a bit too ambitious, so I have a new one t...

If fairies are added, there needs to be the possibility that if you interact with them, your baby will be swapped with a changeling.
Personally, I think that would be a little too dark, even though it's a nice idea and well within fairy lore. I can only imagine how much it would peeve players off to no end with having their sim children spirited away by the fae nearly every night. Especially if there's no way of getting them back (imagine the fallout! It'd be worse than the one surrounding vampires.) On top of that, with the way how the team feels they "need" to crank the "wackiness and quirkiness" of the game with "crazy" animations, you can bet your left nugget that the team would give the "spirited away by Fae NPC" interaction a 95% chance/variable of happening every night as long as there are baby-child sims on the lot.
Like I'm sure they could come up with a way of getting the child back or preventing them from being nabbed if they added such an option, but I feel it would be safer to leave such a "dark" feature out of a pack. That being said I'm not against a darker themed fairy pack, heck that's why I love the Vampires pack, but I just feel they need to be cautious, especially how "sensitive" the community can be around occult gameplay. :-/
it is a little dark, but like with Garlic and vampires, you could add a horse-shoe decoration in the nursery and that would prevent the abductions, just like in the folklore. :smile:
Steel/iron keep the fae at bay.
Hang crossed blades above your babe, and they will be kept safe. Or perhaps a protector knight lamp. Or the horse shoe... though never upside down, or your luck will fall out!
Or plant some iron rich plasma fruit by your door.
The game needs darkness. Fae are creatures of darkness.
Travel to fairy-land, sure it's fun, but NEVER eat the food, or you will stay for a lifetime, though it only seems minutes, and when you return home, your loved ones will have passed, and your children will be old.
But you can travel to fairy land, to rescue your stolen child, the food you eat while there must already have been in your sims inventory, so pack a lunch before you leave home.
And of course, there must be toggles!
Fraidy folks need to be able to toggle off the epic darkness.
