The Sims 4 Enchanting New Expansion Add Fairies Plus a Free Event

The Sims 4 has announced their 19th expansion, and fans are finally getting one of their most requested features… FAIRIES! The game is nearly 11 years old and still arguably the most popular life sim, and this expansion is packed with features that fans can be excited about.

The Sims 4 Enchanted by Nature

In addition to the long-awaited fairies, The Sims 4 Enchanted by Nature adds new lifestyle gameplay, aspirations, traits, and skills. They may be late in introducing fairies (The Sims 3 added them in the 7th expansion), but if they’ve done it right, fans won’t be bothered. Better late than never! Let’s talk features and gameplay.

Fairies!

We know why you’re here. You want to read about the Fairies. Fair enough. They are the main addition for this expansion. Fairies can be created from Create-A-Sim, or an existing Sim can go on a little journey to become a Fairy by seeking out Mother Nature. Fairies have wings that you can design by painting on them! So every Fairy can be uniquely beautiful. They have special abilities like tending to plants and changing the moods of other Sims.

Glowing tattoos are also being added. Let’s hope we can use those for other Sims too. Wouldn’t they look amazing on a Spellcaster or Alien? And non-fairies can join in the magic with Fairy Dust that can enchant plants and give Gnomes life! We can imagine a neighborhood full of mischievous Fairies and Gnomes just wandering about and creating chaos!

Aspirations, Traits, Skills, & a Career

The Sims 4 Enchanted by Nature adds to options for your Sims, whether they’re Fairies or not.

For the Fairies, we have the Fairy Story aspiration. This lets your Fairy choose either the Harmonious or the Discordant path. That sounds interesting! Maybe twin Fairies that go in opposite directions… The Nature Nomad aspiration will fit perfectly with the Natural Living skill. Sims will be able to forage for food, sleep outdoors, and bathe in ponds! The trailer shows a Sim leaving her home to live outdoors, and we can see them go through these actions. They even eat a frog! How many times have you created a Sim and made them try to survive without a house?

The new Apothecary Skill lets Sims use an Apothecary table to make Cures for the new Ailments Sims may suffer from. The Ailments come on as the result of having a negative emotion for too long. Apothecaries will also be able to make 14 other recipes in addition to the cures. Apothecaries can also benefit from the Naturopath career and Elixir Enthusiast Aspiration!

The new traits, Plant Lover, Mystical, and Disruptive, sound quite fitting for  Sims living a natural or Fairy life. And, for gardeners, there are new pots that can be used to grow plants right on tables and shelves! Time for a new greenhouse!

Innisgreen

Of course, The Sims 4 Enchanted by Nature includes a new land! Innisgreen has three neighborhoods. There’s a town called Coast of Adhmor, which is styled around Gnomes. There’s even a big Gnome statue. Sprucederry Grove is styled around bringing nature together with civilized life. Last is Everdew, the forest where we’re sure Fairies will prefer to settle. This is also the place where existing Sims can go to meet Mother Nature to become Fairies.
