I would want the actual fae of legends that I grew up with, not this winged glittery midget princess rubbish spewed by Disney and their ilk. So no, as the only thing they'd have in relation to romance would be stealing husbands or wives away and substituting babies with a changeling.
Oh I agree on that. The Faries depicted in the original tales of the Arabian nights (the kind that the author of Sherlock Holmes grew obsessed with) are much more interesting, I mean, they were very similar to Jinn in regards to their powers and antics. Except that one Peri Banu (I think that was the original translated name) she fell in love with the human after he struck her portal with an arrow. And even the Shakespearian fairies of midsummer nights dream came from India. But let's face it, sims is always cliche so I figured the Disney style Faries would be more likely.
I'm not Arabic, I grew up with the english stories of faeries that live in the dell and do untold harm unless you appease them with gifts every night. Not to mention the nasty business of convincing yourself that your disfigured in some way baby must be a changeling and tossing it in to a fire to make the faeries give the real one back....
That was the other one I wanted to reference. The one where the woman didn't want to harm the child in case it wasn't a Changeling, so she starts miming brewing beer in eggshells, which confuses the Changeling and tricks it into talking and revealing itself. I just couldn't remember the name of it.
