Fairies!

I noticed that some of the statutes in the vampires GP were fairies. I don't really believe in hints that are in the game like furniture. But who knows? Maybe there will be a supernatural EP

I mean I don't think fairies are popular enough to have a GP. I think we would see them in an EP. I think witches may be popular enough for a GP
Oooh i didn't notice the werewolves statues.... supernatural EP? Lol
Aliens, vampires, werewolves and witches never really were my thing and I always liked fairies the most out of all the supernaturals.
Fairies are beauty, shining and sparkling magic and totally represent the light side of supernaturals while vampires, witches, zombies and werewolfes etc. are more dark sided and less interesting to me.
I doubt fairies will get their own pack like vampires did but I really hope they will make a return to the sims.
I disagree with this. If they were trying to avoid religious connotation, they wouldn't have things in the game like menorahs
I do hope it's a sign of fairies to come!
The fairy looks like tink
Yeah, you have a point. And yes, in spite of not being a big fan of sims 3 fairies I'm curious what the gurus can do with fairies in sims 4!

I think they could,I really do, but not in an GP. It would be too much to have werewolves, mermaids, plant people, cyborgs and other supernaturals in different GPs. Maybe GPs will be for really popular supernaturals like vampires and maybe witches, plus you can do so much with witches. I mean if witches were good in an EP I can't imagine how awesome they would be in a GP.
I get that The Sims has a predominantly young, female audience nowadays, and as a 30-year old man I'm no longer the target audience, and that's fine, but TS3's fairies were just too girly. Same with mermaids and unicorns, tbh.
I'd prefer if they kept the supernatural content to stuff everybody can enjoy. Like with Vampires, we have Vampire Diaries and Twilight vamps if that's your cup of tea, or you can have monstrous, evil, bloodsucking fiends.
If TS4 had fairies that were more like elves, and we could choose between high fantasy, Peter Jackson prettyboys, or creepy Faire Folk that abduct Sims that step into their mushroom rings, and replace children with soulless doppelgangers, I think I could get behind fairies.
But the way they were implemented in TS3 is too polarizing, as it only appeals to one subset of the playerbase, large though it may be.
I understand what you mean though I think Twilight and Vampire Diaries are also mainly targeted to a female audience...I think the whole "adorable male vampire thingy" is actually what caused the vampire hype of the last years.
At first glance fairies seem to be a girly thing too. But as vampires they leave a lot of room for personal story telling.
I also would love sims 4 fairies to have an elvish touch. There could be some sort of dark fairies too.
And talking about fairies most people may think of Tinker Bell first. But fairies don't have to be little girls or a girl thing by default.
Breathtaking beautiful women and men with elvish ears and imposing gorgeous wings are targeting all fantasy fans of all ages and not just the girly audience. Fairies have inspired artists for centuries and it's mostly not about girlish fairies, it's about majestic beauty, pure perfection, timeless elegance and the aesthetic, artistic possibilities these mythical creatures offer.
The design of the wings also doesn't have to be "super colourful pinkish girly like" only by default. There would be room for dark themed wings, neutral transparent wings and so on. And like vampires, fairies could be able to completely hide their fairy aspects (wings/ ears) if they wish so, allowing even more possibilities for story telling.
Oh and btw I am a male player too and I'm also over 30 years old and I would love to see fairies coming to The Sims 4 as a fantasy theme.
I also think they are very girly, even though I love them, but I do think that a GP only about fairies would attract more girls than boys and that seems kind of unfair. To me werewolves are also an occult that attract more boys than girls. I think witches are more attractive for both girls and guys.
I would like them in an EP, but they need some changes. Like I really had problems matching clothes to her wings and one color wings just looked odd. Except black and white, you can never go wrong with that
They still looked like Tinkerbell, though.
Vampire? Trying to survive.
Witches? Basically humans with magic powers. Often victims.
Faires? Chaotic Neutral at best and Chaotic Evil at worst. Unpredictable pranksters to borderlines demons.
