Fairy

Fairies are a new playable life state that is introduced in The Sims 3: Supernatural. They first appeared in the official announcement trailed for the expansion. Before they were officially announced, there was a patch (1.32) which accidentally had visual effects files from the Supernatural expansion pack. Some of the effects were that of fairy wings.

Overview
Fairies are described as mischievous magical creatures who love playing tricks on Sims.

Appearence
Fairies wear clothes that appear to be made of leaves and female fairies have flowers in their hair. They have pointed ears and glowing, sparkly wings on their back, which have different variants and shapes. Some fairies have dark-greenish-blackish skin, dark colored clothes and deep blue wings, possibly meaning they are some sort of evil/dark fairies.

Magic Powers
Fairies are able to use magic, such as making a Sim's clothes vanish. They also hover/fly using their wings, as seen in the trailer. Like vampires, fairies will have an extended lifespan. They can also shrink to a "natural form" to perform tasks that they cannot do when they are normal sized.

Trivia
