Romance, Faries, Veronaville?

Does anyone else think it's likely that we'll see a romance pack include fairy occults, and fair Veronaville from Sims 2? (Veronaville would be ideal for romantic activities, arts, music, even gondolas... plus the Monty and Capp families!)

Proud Giyu Tomioka simp.
If we get a romantic world it will probably be something like an Italian or French World.
My post kinda goes in a different directions than fairies/romance. But a Veronaville-inspired world would be awesome no matter what it comes with.
But a town outside of veronaville where the Summerdreams to move to fully express their fairy haritage could work and be amazing...
But odds are we’ll just get fairies in a tiny world and a Summerdream house hold made by EA separately that requires 50 packs with no place to put them in the world.
Sometimes I love plopping those sims in houses though out the worlds when they make the premade sims from previous games but other times I wish the premade families came with a house.
Remember when they released the Grunt household for Sims 4 it required 50 packs, they could of just made a regular pair of camo pants and patched them into the base game before releasing the Grunts but they instead thought that tacky pair of camo pants from the Get Famous game would work.
Exactly this!!! Fairy sims should have their own game pack, if they are ever being added.
agreed
i could totally see fairies doing that, after all they're usually portrayed as mischievous almost evil creatures
no, for example has nobody seen Cinderella with the fairy godmother??
I mean, if you want to ignore hundreds of years of fairies being depicted as human height evil creatures that steal family members, then sure. Modern media has a lot to answer for. Mythological fairies were so much more interesting
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 want: Faeries, with a good ability tree, hopefully before summer 2024.
What do we want to get rid of: The holiday bug, the constant showering and the weed glitch.

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.
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.
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
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....
As late as 1895 we had a case of a man being charged with murder for setting fire to his wife in an attempt to 'drive the faerie' out of her. Faeries stole your loved one and replaced them. I'd love all the dark stuff to be including as an antithesis to the romance but I know it won't happen
Being put under 'the influence' or a spell is NOT love or romance in any sense. The Addams family were weird, but they truly loved each other and were consenting. A faerie victim is having their mind controlled, they have no free will.
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.
