Romance, Faries, Veronaville?

stealing husbands or wives away and substituting babies

i could totally see fairies doing that, after all they're usually portrayed as mischievous almost evil creatures

To me fairies would have as little appeal as plantsims (that I never ever touched in any literation). I hope those wanting fairies will get them, but if they come in a separate game pack as an addition, we can all grab the romance EP without ignoring a third of its content. And to be honest, there are lots of features I'd see fitting better with romance than fairies. This is why I love that additional content is split on numerous GPs and SPs, it allows for more detail and each simmers can mix and match content as desired :)

Am I the only one who thinks romance and fairies go well together?

no, for example has nobody seen Cinderella with the fairy godmother??

They go fine together enough for me. I've read about both good and "bad" fairies, and it was usually some kind of romance theme involved.

Good - a supportive fairy that would help the character find love.
Bad - a fairy that more or less led a person to his or her death after fooling them with promises of love.

Though in all honesty, I think a 'romance' pack will include: Possibly, a new world (with those gondolas people have mentioned), some romantic furniture, and some decorations that gives the flirty moodlet a boost. Maybe, and just maybe, a new interaction.

We have a holiday for love and fairies in my country. And witchcraft. :smiley:

I noticed they have been replacing vamps as love interests in fantasy novels in the past few years, so you are not alone in feeling that XD
I think fairies can have whatever type of portrayal you want them to, just like vamps, so if you think they go will with sweet romantic themes then that goes.

I'm not saying that they can't go together. It's just that the sort of romance I think of when I think Faerie isn't a natural part of the sort of romance I think simmers who want a romance pack are asking for.

Tam Lin? Has romance in it, but grabbing your lover from the back of a horse and holding tight as the evil elf king turns him into all sorts of monsters isn't exactly analogous to slow dancing.
Darby O'Gill? There's romance in the B-plot, but the A plot is a friendship between an old man and a leprechaun.
The Green Children? No romance there.
Cinderella? Well, in the original Grimm tale, it was the ghost of her mother and not a fairy godmother.

If we get fairies I hope we have the option to make them tiny like in TS3 and get back fairy houses.

That said however I think a romance pack needs to be dedicated to romance since so much in that area is missing from TS4.

regarding the Cinderella bit, it was Charles Perrault who decided to make her a fairy, anyways i highly doubt ea will get inspired on older tales of Disney adaptations especially cuz most of them are not made for kids lol


fairies on ts4 doesn't necessarily mean they will be all glittery sparkly pastel shiny, yes there's a big chance given the disneyesque mermaids, but if we got fairy statues on the vampires pack it may be a hint for "darker" fairies right?
and love doesn't have to be cheesy pink, it can be like the Addams love, dark & elegant
