Electronic Arts rolled out “Nature Enchanted,” the newest Sims 4 expansion pack, and as someone who’s tested every add-on since Vampires, I dove into the fairy realm to see if it’s genuine magic or glittery fluff. Here’s the scoop on leaf-sipping fairies, off-grid survival, and potion-making that might just breathe fresh air into your Sim gameplay.
This time around fairies get their full spotlight. From Create-a-Sim options for wings and forms to branching power trees and the cheeky new “emotion harvesting,” these supernatural sprites are not just a reskinned occult trait. Your choices steer your fairy toward benevolence or mischief—classic RPG beats rarely seen in The Sims.
If you’ve ever wanted to ditch modern comforts, the “Living with Nature” skill is your ticket. Early levels test you—with makeshift hygiene routines and meals that involve catching frogs or scavenging mushrooms—but once you master it, your Sim can thrive in a simple, rustic lifestyle. It’s a genuine break from the usual build-and-furnish treadmill.
Forget the cubicle grind—level up as an herbalist and invite neighbors over for diagnoses in your very own apothecary. Craft elixirs that heal bodies and boost moods, hunt rare plants for side gigs, and enjoy random illness hijinks that turn your kitchen counter into a comedy stage.
Innisgreen splits into three regions. Everdew celebrates your fairy identity openly, Côte d’Adhmor insists on high-society discretion, and Sprucederry Grove lures herbalists into dense, untamed woods. Each offers a unique take on fairy culture and role-playing flavor.
A revamped emotional balance meter and optional luck toggles add real stakes to mood swings. New aspirations like “Nature Nomad” and “Elixir Specialist” reward you for diving deep into fairy and herbalist mechanics, rather than just ticking off a checklist.
