I am worried about the state of possible fairies in an EP.

As you say life and death was a good pack. It was above average. Unfortunately a lot of the more recent packs are not that high in quality. I am mainly thinking about packs that have very little to offer outside their main theme. For example: Businesses and hobbies only has one hobby (pottery) despite the title promissing more hobbies. Lovestruck has little to offer outside the main love them. For rent only has a few kitchen appliances and child games out side of the rental gameplay. Horse ranch only has horses and nectar, not other noteworthy gameplay features. I wish all EP had as much to offer as life and death, but they don't.

If the new EP is indeed on par with Life and Death, fairies might have a chance a being done properly. But you can't compare them directly with ghosts. Ghosts in life and death were an update. The life and death team didn't have to create ghost occults from scratch. We have yet to see a completely new occult type in an EP. And the track record for occults in EP aren't that great. 

  • aliens in get to work: no skill tree or perks, very limited looks in CAS, no copy feature in CAS. 
  • mermaids: no power, no animation for becoming a mermaid, no crib. even for the tombstone they had to rely on Life and Death to have one made (thankfully patched in for all island living owners)
  • servo: extremely limited in looks. Not even compatible with seasons because we can't make them rain proof
  • unicorns: saddest of all, just a single CAS asset without any gameplay and not hereditary.

I really hope you are right and we get proper fairies. I honestly can't put all my faith in that one great EP (only an update of an occult) while 4 others did not deliver on new occults. I hope the sims team proves you right and surprises me.

    I think with Buisiness and Hobbise and For Rent.They both came with systems that were huge .

    Buisness and Hobbise came with a small buisiness system.That had a skill perk tree.With also mentoring,and teaching classes.

    1.mini features like family recipes.

    2.mentor system

    The pack didn't have to much variety,but it was huge.

    For

    Enchanted by Nature dosent seem to come with big systems like that.It seem like Life in Death it will have multiple mini systems.What would have so far is 3 traits,3 neighborhood world,nature living actions,an apocarthy skill slash carer,and maybe gnome npcs?

    For Cas ,I don't think they would have to start completly from scrath.Like spell casters don't have a separate form.

    The only Cas they need to do is the wings.And maybe add Somes new ear types and colorful skintones.

    I think faries be able to have a skill tree.
