The Sims 4 Fairies Care Guide
Becoming a Fairy
Turn into a Fairy
There are a few different ways to embark on the magical journey of the Sims 4 Fairies. To become a Fairy, your Sim will need to acquire a Fairy Seedling. Try Foraging around, completing Fables, ordering from the computer, or asking a Fairy directly to find this magical seed. Then, plant the seed to Summon Mother Nature and begin the Fairy transformation. Use the Ask for Mother Nature’s Charm interaction to get the necessary charm, and then head over to Moondrop Springs to complete the transition with the Become a Fairy interaction. Your Sim will start their new life as a Fairy, and be gifted the Fae Fan Bell flower.
Sims can also be turned into a Fairy by Radiant Fairies who have unlocked the Transform into Fairy ability. This interaction is not available with other Occult Sims.
Being Born into Magic
Some Sims work hard to earn their wings, while others are born with this privilege. Sims born from Fairy parents will have the High Fae Lineage Personality Trait, and sprout their wings once they become a Teen. Teens also get an update to their Needs with the addition of Emotional Force.
You can see the ring around your Sim’s Plumbob that signifies they are an Occult Sim, and the High Fae Lineage Personality Trait among their traits for Sims ages Infant and up. Newborn, Infant, and Toddler Sims do not have any Fairy interactions, and older Sims are not able to use any Fairy interactions on them.
As young Sims 4 Fairies, Toddlers and Children are prone to feeling strong emotions. They may have sudden bursts of anger, causing nearby objects to break. Older Fairies can help manage their emotions, which will help young Fairies learn Emotional Stability over time.
Fairy Kid Sims can use the Ask to Absorb Emotion, What’s Your Favorite Place to Sleep?, Discuss Wing Coloration, and Laugh about Flight Fumbles Fairy social interactions.
Create a Fairy in Create a Sim
To create your Sims 4 Fairies, launch Create a Sim and get to work, just make sure to take your time. Occult Sims can have entirely different appearances when it comes to their Normie-self and Occult-self by using the Link Features option.
Clicking the Link icon “breaks” the link and allows you to customize which feature you would like to change when your Occult Sim transforms. If you would like them to stay the exact same in both forms, just make sure the Link icon is “locked”.
Create a Sims gives you the option to Link or Unlink the following features:
- All
- Body Shape
- Face
- Skin Tone
- Hair
- Voice
- Clothing
- Makeup
I recommend checking that your Link selections haven’t changed for your Sim prior to making any changes through the Plan Outfit or Change Appearance interactions.
You can use Create a Sim or the in-game Plan Outfit and Change Appearance interactions to adjust your Sim’s fairy wings. These can be customized, or you can choose the pre-existing color swatch options.
Fairy Interactions
Fairies ages Kids and up have inherent Fairy interactions. Kids have specific social interactions, as mentioned earlier, but once they reach their Teenage years, they unlock so much more. As Faint Fairies in The Sims 4 Enchanted by Nature, all Fairies are able to Detect and Absorb Emotions, Conceal Fairy Form, Regenerate Emotional Force, and Brush Off Fairy Dust, and, of course, Fly around.
The Fairy Skill Tree expands these interactions, unlocking new Fairy Abilities as your Sim reaches each level. Fairy Sims can Project Emotion, use the Bloom self-interaction to bring a plant to a harvestable state, Sway Emotions of other Sims, Enchant plants, Apply and Cure Ailments, Turn Sims into Fairies, and more.
Fairy Abilities can be for the better or worse of society, and may have some consequences. Fairies need to be careful using Fairy Abilities in the Coast of Adhmor neighborhood from The Sims 4 Enchanted by Nature. Due to some past political and cultural tensions, using Fairy Abilities in that neighborhood is frowned upon by the Fairy Council.
If your Sim is witnessed using Fairy Abilities, they will get a warning from the Fairy Council. If they continue, they will lose their Daily Fairy Dust Ration privilege at the Mossveil Fairy Hub. Your Sim will then be labeled a Problem Fairy, earning the Problem Fairy Trait, and will need to either meet with Care Ren or visit the Court at Mossveil Fairy Hub. Don’t worry, though, the unfortunate trait can be removed by the council, and you will be able to collect Fairy Dust again.
To rid themself of this negative trait, your Sim will need to use the Appeal Problem Fairy Status at Fairy Court interaction and pay a fine, or find Care Ren and use the Pay Restitution interaction. If you choose to Discuss Fairy Behavior with Care Ren, you will have to spend some time in nature and be given a packet of seeds to plant.
Needs and Emotional Force
Similar to other occults, Sims 4 Fairies have different needs. While fairies no longer have to worry about Hunger and Bladder anymore, a new Fairy-specific Need is introduced, known as Emotional Force. Emotional Force is consumed when performing Fairy Abilities, and running out entirely will put your Fairy Sim in serious danger! When this Need starts to run out, your Sim will become Emotionally Starving.
They can recover Emotional Force in various ways. Fairy Sims can use the Absorb Emotion interaction to absorb other Sims’ emotions, use the Regenerate Emotional Force self-interaction, drink Emotion Potions, Swim in the Moondrop Springs, or use a Fairy Home to fill up their Emotional Force bar.
Your Sim will also need to be wary of absorbing emotions that are too powerful. That can lead to Overload, which will do some serious Emotional Force damage!
Fairies and Other Occults
The Sims 4 Fairies live in harmony with the other mystical Occults. When your Fairy Sim meets Werewolves and other Occult Sims, you’ll notice they start out with a good relationship since their occults are on good terms. Rumor has it, if a Fairy and a Werewolf Sim Try for a Baby, they’ll wind up with a set of twins!
Fairy Sims will get requests from other Occult Sims to aid them with their Fairy Abilities, and your Sim can choose to help out or send them on their way. Fairy Sims also have the ability to Cure Vampirism.
The Fairy Aspiration & Magical Traits
The Sims 4 Enchanted by Nature introduces the Fairy Aspiration, allowing your Sim to choose a path of harmony or disruption. Choosing this Aspiration in Create a Sim or when aging up from Teen to Young Adult will grant your Sim the Fairy Influence Trait, making their relationships fluctuate more when socializing with Fairy Sims and Gnomes, for the better or worse.
Reaching level three of the aspiration earns your Sim the Into the Everdew Trait, which lets your Sim gain Fairy Ability Points faster and have fun doing it! Completing the Harmonious Fairy Path adds the Happily Harmonious Personality Trait, gaining your Sim an increased relationship with Sims 4 Fairies and more Fun when guiding others down their Fairy Journey. Completing the Discordant Fairy Path unlocks the Delightfully Discordant Reward Trait, letting your Sim gain Balance and Fun when using malicious Fairy Abilities.
The Mystical Personality Trait helps your Fairy Sim live harmoniously with others and allows them to Grant a Sacred Blessing. Another helpful Trait for Fairy Sims!
Get Rid of your Fairy Essence with Mother Nature
If your Sim is ready to leave their Fairy life behind them and embrace their next chapter, they’ll need to contact the Sim who started it all. According to local legend, “The history of Everdew began after Mother Nature used the full moon’s powers to pour her emotions into Moondrop Springs and the spring was left forever enchanted with a mind of its own. From there, the Moondrop Springs served as the birthplace of Fairies, whereby the raw Emotions of Mother Nature, the springs, and the fairies in tandem naturally evolved into the fantastical forest seen today.”
Visit the Mossveil Fairy Hub or use a bookcase to Research How to Become Non-Occult, Ask How to Become Non-Occult social interaction. Your Sim will need to acquire a Magical Seed to Summon Mother Nature. They can get these from other Fairy Sims with the Ask for Fairy Seedling social interaction, Foraging, or at a Fairy Ring after completing the Rise and Shine Fable. Plant the seed, and Mother Nature will appear, giving you the option to Ask to Remove Fairy Essence. Their essence will be poured back into the Moondrop Spring, where it will stay until the next Sim wants it.
