Possible occult hint?
This is possibly/probably a reach, but I saw this ad on my homepage for a new year sale, didn't think much of it at first but then I noticed all the sims were references of occults or occult packs. Fi...

I mean, for me, my frustration with the Tinkerbelle model is that the Victorians basically "nerfed" faeries to make them more palatable "For the Children" and now that's what most people assume is the default of "how they've always been" when that's certainly not the case. I've actually had people suggest that I'm trying to be "edgy" by "making" them dark, when I'm just acknowledging their true origins.
But I also don't mind if pixies are one kind of fae and when I use the term "Pretty Pixies" I'm literally just describing them. What most people think of when they think Fae are pretty little things with wings, sometimes associated with mild pranks and gardens. I could call it the Thumbelina model just as easily. When I say "True Fae" I don't mean to say that Pixies aren't "real" faeries. I just mean that the modern vision of Faerie being limited to Pixies doesn't represent the actual breadth of what Faerie really is, and knowing the variety that is out there (especially when extended to beings that serve the same narrative purpose as Faeries in non-Celtic folklore) I can't help but dream of more options.
I don't think it's possible to really capture the breadth of Faerie mythos in a Sims pack. Not every type of vampire is represented in Vampires, and not every type of mage is represented in Realm of Magic. I can only hope that if we do get some form of fae creature, they're well developed and have enough flexibility so that not every fae sim plays the same way. The same goes for any other occult life state added to the game.
