Here is Every Cross-Pack Feature We Have Discovered in Enchanted by Nature!
As with many Expansion Pack releases, The Sims 4 Enchanted by Nature comes with a host of new cross-pack features for those who play with other Stuff, Game, and Expansion Packs. Before release, Maxis confirmed several cross-pack features, including how Fairies interact with other occults and exclusive elixirs that can be crafted to ‘cure’ other occult types. Let’s take a look at some of the new, smaller cross-pack features in Enchanted by Nature!

Natural Living – Living Off-Lot
One of the major new features introduced with Enchanted by Nature is the Natural Living Skill. This skill can be developed by sleeping on the ground, foraging for food, and bathing in open waters.
With 29 residential and vacation worlds, Maxis would have missed a trick by making Natural Living exclusive to Innisgreen. Thankfully, any world can be used to forage for items, and any wadeable body of water can be used to fill your Sims’ hygiene needs.

Items found by foraging can vary depending on which world you are in. For example, Sims foraging in Granite Falls are more likely to find Basil and Strawberry, and may even find herbs used for the Herbal Remedies, a feature of The Sims 4 Cottage Living.
Alongside consumables, Sims may also discover crystals, flowers, and MySims Trophies, alongside other collectables in-game. You can find our full guide on collectables here!

Currently, one of the only ways to bathe naturally in The Sims 4 is at the waterfall in Mua Pel’am, a neighbourhood found in Sulani, the world that shipped with The Sims 4 Island Living. With Enchanted by Nature Sims can now bathe in any body of water that is currently swimmable. Here is a full list of spots your Sims can now bathe in:
- Sulani (All Neighbourhoods)
- Britechester (Gibbs Hill)
- Mt Komorebi (Wakaba)
- Henford-on-Bagley (All Neighbourhoods)
- Tartosa (All Neighbourhoods)
- Moonwood Mill
- Copperdale (Plumbite Cove)
- Chestnut Ridge (Galloping Gulch)
- Tomarang (Koh Sahpa)
- Ciudad Enamorada (Vista Hermosa)
- Ravenwood (Whispering Glenn, Mourningvale)
- Nordhaven (All Neighbourhoods)




Travel to Hidden Worlds
In Innisgreen’s new neighbourhood of Everdew, you can find a mysterious glowing rock. This rock allows you to travel to hidden worlds available in The Sims 4. Both Sylvan Glade and Forgotten Grotto from the Base Game can be accessed here without needing to go through the pre-requisite tasks to access them.

Players with The Sims 4 Get to Work will be able to take their Sims from Innisgreen to Sixam in the blink of an eye. Without Enchanted by Nature installed, Sixam can only be accessed by constructing the ‘Electroflux Wormhole Generator’ and upgrading it at level 10 of the Scientist career. It can also be accessed by constructing a rocket ship and adding the ‘Wormhole Generator’ once level 10 of the Rocket Science skill has been reached.


Players who own The Sims 4 Realm of Magic will be familiar with The Magic Realm, the hidden world belonging to Spellcasters. Normally, this can be accessed via the portal in Glimmerbrook or by using the Glimmer Stone found in Spellcaster’s inventory. By using the rock in Innisgreen, non-Spellcaster Sims can visit whenever they like. Be careful, however, Fairies are not particularly kind to Spellcasters as they believe their magic is unnatural.


Mt Komorebi peak can be reached by planning a Mountain Excursion in the world of Mt Komorebi with The Sims 4 Snowy Escape. With the rock in Everdew, Sims can instantly teleport to the peak of Mount Komorebi, if cold weather is your Fairies’ preferred climate.
Nurturing Nature – Helping Animals
There are a multitude of abilities you can unlock as a Fairy as you make your way through the five ranks of the Fairy skill tree. One of these abilities is called ‘Nurture Nature’, which can be purchased for 1 Ability Point at level 1 of the skill tree. This ability will allow you to heal suffering plants and animals at the cost of a small amount of Emotional Force.

With the Cats & Dogs Expansion Pack, Fairies with the Nurture Nature ability will be able to heal both Cats and Dogs of sickness and refill their needs. Depending on whether or not you have purchased the ‘Warm Force Gain’, Fairies will be able to receive emotional force from positive interactions with both Cats and Dogs.


Other animals, such as Chickens, Cows, and Llamas in The Sims 4 Cottage Living, can also be affected by the Nurture Nature interaction, and their needs will also be filled when it is used on them.
Horses, mini Goats, and Sheep in the Horse Ranch Expansion Pack can also reap the rewards of this ability.
New Craftables – Plant Pottery
The last Expansion Pack, The Sims 4 Businesses & Hobbies, introduced pottery and the Pottery skill to the game. With the pottery wheel and kiln, your Sims can craft two pots for potted plants, the Ceramic Tabletop Plant Pot and the Terrasphere Tabletop Plant Pot.




After your Sims have moulded the pots on the pottery wheel, they can then transfer the pot to the kiln and choose to glaze them with 12 different options. These plant pots can then be sold using the shop displays from Businesses & Hobbies! Broken pottery can be repaired using the pottery wheel, and the kintsugi designs can be applied to the new plant pots.


New Business Opportunities
Alongside pottery, The Sims 4 Businesses & Hobbies allowed our Sims to open up custom business types separate from the retail stores from Get to Work. Your Sims can select up to 5 business activities they wish for customers to do. Enchanted by Nature adds two new opportunities to the list:
- Use Fairy Abilities
- Craft Apothecary Elixirs

You can also choose Target Customer Criteria to attract certain types of Sims to your business. There are several new criteria available in the latest pack:
- Naturopath (Career category)
- Fairy (Occult category)
- Disruptive (Trait Category)
- Mystical (Trait Category)
- Plant Lover (Trait Category)
- Apothecary (Skill category)
- Natural Living (Skill category)

Another feature of Businesses & Hobbies was the ability to run classes and lectures on any lot in-game. Both the Natural Living and Apothecary skills can be taught at the lecture whiteboard.

The Club System – Fairy Gatherings
The club system was introduced with The Sims 4 Get Together, allowing Sims to create custom clubs with individually chosen activities. Similar to business customer criteria, your Sims can also choose to run clubs exclusively for Fairires, those in the Naturopath career, or with any of the three new traits.

There are also new club activities that you can either allow or forbid:
- Craft Apothecary Elixirs
- Use Fairy Abilities
- Use Natural Living Skill


Seasonal Compatibility – Let It Snow
After the lack of seasonal compatibility in Ravenwood in The Sims 4 Life & Death Expansion Pack, Innisgreen is fully compatible with The Sims 4 Seasons! Both Coast of Adhmor and Sprucederry have full seasonal changes, including snowy Winters and hot Summers.

Everdew, on the other hand, experiences its own seasonal cycle, much like The Magic Realm! The weather there will always be temperate, perfect for the Nomad lifestyle.

University Additions – Natural Studies
Many packs since the release of The Sims 4 Discover University have introduced new University elective classes, as well as boosts to careers from certain degrees. Enchanted by Nature comes with one new career, Naturopath, and 2 new skills, Apothecary and Natural Living.

For those wanting to attend University for a boost in skills and a leg up after they graduate, the Biology Degree can benefit Sims looking to enter the Naturopath career. The degree can be taken at either the Foxbury Institute or the University of Britechester. Sims who want to take Biology at the Foxbury Institute will be required to have sufficient relevant skills to be accepted into a distinguished degree program.
Alongside Biology, Sims can take Physics to instantly join the Apothe-curist branch upon graduation, or Psychology to receive an instant path into the Lifestyle Coaching branch. Both of these degrees can be taken at the University of Britechester, or Distinguished at the Foxbury Institute if they have the skills.

Sims are required to take 12 total classes to graduate and have the option to take elective classes that cover different topics related to their chosen course. Enchanted by Nature has one new elective class, ‘Apothecary Elixirs: Art, Science, or Magic?’. Unfortunately, there is no Natural Living skill-related elective for Sims attending either University.
Occult Crossovers – Vampires, Werewolves, and Mermaids, oh my!
In a recent blog post, The Sims Team revealed that there is a lot of crossover when it comes to Fairies interacting with other occult types. Fairies will not get on with Spellcasters due to their belief that Spellcaster magic is unnatural. Werewolves, on the other hand, are loved by Fairies, and their bond is strong. You can read the full blog post here or below:

There are a plethora of previous Expansion and Game Packs that allow your Sim to connect with other Occult Sims. See below for a few you can try:
If you have the The Sims 4 Horse Ranch Expansion Pack, the Cottage Living Expansion Pack or the Cats & Dogs Expansion Pack, Fairy Sims can use their Nurture Nature to fulfil animal needs and instantly cure sick cats and dogs.
In addition, there are so many ways for Fairy Sims to connect with their Occult Sim counterparts! With the Werewolves Game Pack, Fairies can soothe Werewolves and bring their fury back to zero and return them to their Sim form, and with the Vampires Game Pack, Fairies can remove vampirism from Vampire Sims to return them to their natural Sim selves. Fairy Sims can also hydrate and top off the needs of their Mermaid Sim and PlantSim friends with the Island Living Expansion Pack!
With The Sims 4 Island Living Expansion Pack, the Werevolves Game Pack and the Vampires Game Pack, Sims can use Apothecary crafting to create an Elixir that refills all needs instantly for Occult Sims.
The Enchanted by Nature Expansion Pack introduces the Fear of Magic, making Sims who have had a bad experience with magic feel unsettled by it. If you have the Realm of Magic Game Pack, Sims may even get Paranoid when near Spellcasters or other Occult Sims.

What other cross-pack functionality have you discovered? Let us know in the comments below, and stay tuned to Sims Community for all coverage on The Sims 4 Enchanted by Nature.
Thank you so much for all these discoveries. I love the ability to easily access hidden places, especially Sixam, which is very beautiful, but I haven’t had the courage to restart my science career to go there.
I’m also glad there’s snow in both districts, the other interactions with the occult, and the other possibilities offered by the other packs; I own them all, which makes this pack much more interesting.
I haven’t had much chance to play, only to create the characters for the three available houses. Since the game was released in France yesterday at 7 p.m., it was too late to play much, and I haven’t had time to play today, but I’m looking forward to discovering all of this.
My save of TWO YEARS disappeared thanks to this expansion pack. I own every expansion pack, stuff pack and kit, spent well over $2k. Spent two YEARS on that save built a multigenerational family and poof gone. Two. Years. 83 sims. Smmfh. And when I go into my library to start a new game with the saved sims? Error code 34 when I try to save and the file disappears. Same thing is happening with my daughter’s old save. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM. The game is unplayable.
Something that long and dedicated wasn’t cloud saved to your gallery? Not 1/83 generations? Hard to feel bad..
I’m so sorry that happened! I lost my computer with YEARS of saves and cc a few years ago and it thoroughly sucks. If you play on the computer I highly recommend saving a backup of your save file and library periodically to either an external drive or the cloud.
There is no error 34 on The Sims 4; it’s a Windows error. Code 34 can have several causes.
Here are the potential causes of this Windows device problem.
Your device is misconfigured – Windows error Code 34 is primarily caused by incorrect configurations made in the system settings. It’s best to use the Resources tab of Device Manager to configure resource settings in Windows after configuring the device itself.
There is a resource conflict in your device driver – Many Windows devices use resources to perform their assigned tasks. Additionally, Windows can automatically identify the resource for each of these devices, but if it doesn’t, you get an error code 34.
Outdated or incompatible driver – If your device driver is outdated or incompatible with your version of Windows, you may encounter error code 34.
Meanwhile, my 6-year-old save is still going strong. Did it bug a few times? Yes. Did I have a backup? OBVIOUSLY.
Anyway… 6 years of save, two or three bugs.
u can connect the lighting root to the grid and it produce huge amount of power
“currently the only natural way to bathe is at the waterfall” isn’t accurate, you can shower in the rain which is what my homeless Sims have done before this expansion. Just mentioning since that should be included.
