Fun thought I had. It isn't necessarily new, because it has to do with Faeries, but all my internal ranting about how the Victorians reduced True Fae to small pretty things with wings gave me this idea

What if they did Faeries with a Steampunk Victorian aesthetic? Clockwork wings and Top hats with goggles, and striped hose under bustle skirts...

And we get courts, but it's Clock-punk vs. Garden?

Aren't Tiny Fairies just pixies?

Yep. And that's what the majority of people think of when they think Fairy. Small, pretty people with wings, a la Tinkerbelle or Thumbelina. Because the Victorians took all the danger out of Faerie and reduced them to just the pixie variety. But True Faerie is so, so much more than that, even if we limit it to just the British Isles versions. When we expand Faerie to include the similar creatures from other cultures it becomes even wider in scope.

Which is why we're more likely to get pretty people with wings than true fae if we ever get a Faerie pack. Because 1)it won't fit in a Game Pack budget, and 2) most people won't know what hit them if they were confronted by a Cornish Nocker, or a Pwca, or a Spriggan, or Russian Domovoi, or a Japanese Youkai, or any of countless other creatures that aren't pretty people with wings that exist in various folklores around the world.

I've made my peace with it, but that doesn't mean I won't keep hoping for more and trying to spread knowledge of the Fae.

I think the Rabbits & Chickens are part Occults. They already can turn into demon animals,
for example: killer Rabbit & Evil Hen/Roster. >:)

If we get zombies i hope there will be some early Sims influence. It was fun when attempting to resurrect a Sim went wrong and they came back as a zombie instead lol there was some meaning to being dead too because you werent guaranteed to get back the same sim

I really need werwolves...Dr. Jaqueline Hyde, resident psychiatrist of The Asylum, has been waiting for ages now to become a real werewolf...
that said, fairies, ghouls/zombies gimme, gimme, gimme!!!

It's almost Autumn. Where's my dark faes & howling wolfies?

Personally, I really like what TS4 has done with most occult types so far. (I’m not counting Plantsims.) Even the aliens are fun with their shapeshifting/memory erasing abilities and I have avoided them like the plague in past versions of the Sims.

I actually have every confidence they’ll do a good job with whatever they add to the game next. Personally, I’m crossing my fingers for werewolves, but I’d be hyped to see genies appear too.

One of the new Reskins of the Yoga Mats has a design with the phases of the moon.

If that doesn't scream Werewolf, I don't know what does.

"I feel a bad moon arising, I feel trouble along the way, don't go out tonight, it's about to take a fright, there's a bad moon on arise, awoo"
I just couldn't resist singing that song for Werewolves. >:) :p B)

I'm team fairies! And if this pack were to happen, I would love more beautiful, magical-looking locations, like the place through the Glimmerbrook portal (but an actual world, where you can live!) a hazy, ethereal plane like that would be so cool <3
