The Sims 4 expands its occult Sim roster with the addition of magical fairies, introduced in the Enchanted by Nature expansion pack. Fairies represent the seventh unique life state, joining vampires, werewolves, mermaids, spellcasters, aliens, and ghosts. This new Simform offers an exciting gameplay experience, featuring special abilities to manipulate emotions and exclusive aesthetic customizations such as wings and luminous tattoos.
Among the various occult types in The Sims 4, fairies stand out due to their exceptional command over emotions, allowing them to influence other Sims in powerful ways. Their strong connection to nature also grants them an advantage in living sustainably. Fairies offer a uniquely enchanting gameplay experience. Here’s how to embark on your fairy journey.
How to Become a Fairy
The most straightforward way to have a fairy Sim is by creating one directly in Create-a-Sim, where you can select the occult type and customize their wings and appearance. However, transforming an existing Sim into a fairy requires a few simple steps.
Mother Nature can help your Sim become a fairy.
To turn an existing Sim into a fairy, the most convenient method involves interacting with Mother Nature. You won`t need to build a relationship with her; simply plant a Fairy Seedling anywhere to summon her instantly. If your Sim is already aware of fairies (by meeting one, for example), you can acquire a Fairy Seedling easily by ordering it via a computer (Order > Purchase Fairy Seedling) or by requesting one from another fairy.
After summoning Mother Nature, interact with her and choose the `Ask for Mother Nature`s Charm` option. She will grant you the initial step. The final transformation requires your Sim to visit the Moondrop Springs, located in the northwest of Innisgreen`s Everdew neighborhood. Click on the springs and select `Become a Fairy`. Your transformation will then be complete!
What a Fairy Can Do

Fairies possess potent abilities primarily categorized into emotional manipulation and plant care. They can influence other Sims` moods or inflict Ailments, and also accelerate plant growth to high quality. These powers consume `Emotional Force,` which can be replenished by siphoning emotions from other Sims or by resting within a small fairy home.
Caution is advised, as a fairy can die if their Emotional Force completely depletes, or if they overdose by absorbing too much emotion.
Fairies can also shrink to their traditional small size and utilize tiny fairy homes. A fairy home is crucial for any fairy`s lot, as it provides the safest and most effective way to recover Emotional Force without negative repercussions.
How to Level Up Your Fairy as Quickly as Possible
To enhance your fairy Sim`s power, simply practice their abilities frequently. The initial tier of fairy powers includes the capacity to inflict and heal Ailments, magically tend to plants, and alter other Sims` moods.
It`s vital to monitor your Sim`s Emotional Force while practicing fairy magic, as complete depletion can lead to death, and no ability will prevent this. Therefore, training your fairy Sim on a lot equipped with a small fairy home is highly recommended for safety.
For nature-loving Sims, consider populating a natural lot in Innisgreen with numerous plants. Your fairy Sim can then magically tend to them extensively, pausing to regenerate Emotional Force in their fairy home as needed. A large garden will significantly accelerate their progress.
Socially-oriented Sims might prefer to visit public venues like bars to interact with others, manipulating their emotions or inflicting and then curing Ailments. While a fairy home might not be readily available in such settings, the abundance of other Sims allows for Emotional Force regeneration through emotion siphoning. However, avoid siphoning too much if your Sim`s Emotional Force is already high.
A general guideline for leveling up is that the experience gained from using an ability is directly proportional to the Emotional Force it consumes. For example, powerful abilities like `Growth Explosion,` which instantly matures all plants in an area, will quickly deplete your Sim`s energy but also grant substantial progress.
By following these strategies, you`ll soon have a powerful and skilled fairy Sim.
