So I know it's been confirmed that fairies will be familiars instead of a life state but with the way magic is being handled, I feel like you could still make a fairy pretty easily anyways, maybe even without mods. "Untamed" magic sounds like some chaotic energy to me and that's the kind of magic I think of when I think of fae folk already.
My point being, I think the people upset about the fairies might not need to be because of the different schools of magic. Ofc, we'll need to see actual gameplay before making a final call.

I do not have a lot of hope at this point, though. I'm not sure why they did it this way, because right now, it just seems like they're adding faeries in a disappointing fashion. And if they haven't even fixed plantsims, what hope is there for faeries, you know?
So the pack could include a small new world with everything looking really big, like suggested above, but more importantly have a really in-depth playable overlay for all the existing worlds. Maybe objects would look different to fairies (like, idk, all bars now have a clickable "fairy bar" on them for ordering fairy drinks) and fairies could see other fairies as fairies, and maybe also see like auras/overlays for other occults or for sims moods or something, but you click over to a regular sim and everything looks normal.
I think this would also allow the pack to "invade" the world without invading the world for players who don't want it to, because if you don't play a fairy none of that stuff is there.
But I do like the idea of a magic pack where the magic just kind of layers over the worlds we already have. Probably unlikely, as I imagine it would be a lot of work to go through every world like that, but it sounds fun to play. Especially playing a combination home, where someone is "playing Fairy Bride" (marrying an unknowing mortal) and trying to keep the secret.

We have fairy costumes with the Halloween pack, and we have a whole branch of mischief magic. I think it stands that with the natural versatility of spellcasters and different types of magic, this pack works well as a catch-all. Sorcerer? Sure! Witch? Sure! Fairy? Absolutely! A fairy is a type of magic user, so jump all over that with this pack. Personally, I'd find a separate fairy pack very redundant.
this is what i want, the ability to actually fly as a sim. not turn into a little floating light ball, actually fly.
I think in TS there's two kinds of fairies: small fairies and humanoid fairies

@Shadow_Assassin In RL its believed that fairies is a whole world of many kinds of creatures, like in the Maleficent movie where there humanoid ones, animal looking ones, werid looking ones, etc... Its like a beehive where there are different types of fairies to take care of their realm and all of that.
But I'm good on magical sims for a while, and am hoping for Werewolves next... and before 2021.
A fairy themed pack could also be our only chance to ever get a proper fantasy themed world...a world that our sims can actually live in.
RoM's magical realm is gorgeous but sadly it's "just" a secret lot making it very limited for story telling, customizing and setting up our own population to live there.
The idea of magical floating islands however is something I would love to see more fleshed out in a potential fairy pack. They just should allow our sims to actually live on these islands by offering a few lots on each.
There could be a "bright" island with rolling hills full of flowers, rainbows and beautiful magical architecture for those joyful kind of fairies and there could be a "gloomy" island with a demonic atmosphere, a dark sky, dead trees and derelict ancient ruins for those dark and maybe even evil kind of fairies.
That would offer so much potential for creating our own fantasy stories.
1. Werewolves
2. Fairies
3. Genies
4. Hinds
5. Sphynx
6. Cat People
Fairies are familars in RoM. Basically, just balls of light with wings that protect your Sim.
I'd like to see real Fae added.
*I remember what they remind me of now - "Fairies" from the Bubble Witch game.
