Fairy

Fairies are a playable life state that are introduced in The Sims 3: Supernatural. Though technically Faerie Queen Mara, a vendor from Sims Makin' Magic, was a Fairy, but not a playable lifestate. Fairies first appeared in the official announcement trailer for the expansion. Before they were officially announced, there was a patch (1.32) which accidentally leaked visual effects files of fairy wings.

Overview
Fairies are described as elegant but mischievous magical creatures who love playing tricks on Sims and maintain their basic needs just like normal Sims. They have a hidden skill known as Fairy Magic.

Ways to be Fairies

 * Create a Fairy at Create a Sim. See Creating a Fairy section below for more information.
 * A Sim can be a fairy by getting a chance to receive a Fairy opportunity when searching for fairies in the Arboretum.
 * There is a elixir known as the Bottled Blessing of the Fae which can turn a normal Sim into a fairy.
 * A Sim with level 10 of Alchemy skill can mix this elixir at the alchemy station by having red toadstools, sunstone gem and fairy damsel in his inventory.
 * Check an elixir consignment shop as the shop may have the elixir, but not on a daily basis.

Creating a Fairy
You can create a fairy in Create a Sim. At the "Supernatural Types" button at the Basics section of CAS, select "Fairy" and the Sim you are creating becomes a fairy. After that, your fairy automatically gets a pair of wings - for her to fly in normal and natural forms - with its unique color. The wings' color gives the same color in his natural form.

In the Basics section, there is a second tab which is labelled as Fairy Basics. It allows you to customise your fairy's wings and the color of the wings.

There are six different wing designs and they are all labelled. They are:


 * Willowed Wisps
 * Super Swirly


 * Dreamy Dragonfly
 * Fanciful Ferns


 * Majestic Monarch
 * Busy Bumblebee

To change the color of her wings, there is a Change Wing Color button on the bottom right outside the box of wing designs. There are two tabs which are the Swatches and the Color Wheel. Choose any color you want for her wings. However, in the color wheel, you cannot save custom fairy wing colors, so it is suggestible to remember the color code or save the fairy with similar wings' color into the bin.

They are many fairy-themed clothes and accessories for your fairy to wear, although other Sims can wear them too. But letting your fairy to wear them gives her look more realistic.

Abilities
Fairies live longer than normal Sims like werewolves. They move at an increased rate as they fly around. They shrink to their natural form to perform interactions that they can't do normal-sized. They are "natural born tricksters", tricking Sims using different interactions. They can also switch bodies with normal Sims.

They have the Green Thumb trait by nature - meaning that they have benefits similar to the benefits Sims with the trait should have, without having it in their traits. They can build their Charisma skill at a faster rate.

The more they use magic, the more abilities become available, and the more the fairy will fly rather than walking.

Magic
Fairies are able to use magic for the good or the bad. When starting out, they will have a very limited set of magical abilities. As they gain their Fairy Magic skill, they unlock new abilities and benefits slowly.

Magic is not infinite, so when fairies use magic, they begin to lose magic powers. They have a magic meter which is a similar meter witches have. You can find the meter under a fairy's avatar in the game interface. The meter shows how much magic powers they have left.

As their magic powers drain, fairies should maintain the magic meter in order to continuously use their abilities. They can slowly wait for a while to refill the meter or they can fill their meter at a faster rate by drinking Pollen Punch, riding the train in a train set or relaxing in a Fairy House. They can also instantly replenish their meter to full by drinking the Essence of Magic elixir.

If all of their magic powers is used up, it will take six hours to refill completely normally, before they can use magic again. During these six hours, they will have a negative moodlet.

Although fairies are "natural born tricksters", not every trick will be successful. Sometimes, their trick may fail, causing some negative effect to either them or the affecting Sims or both.

Fairies use auras which affect themselves and nearby Sims. There are several different auras, which have different effects. Some of these are:
 * Aura of Soothing - Gives a positive moodlet
 * Aura of Creativity - Creative skills are easier and faster to level them up
 * Aura of Body and Mind - Improves the rate at which Sims learn skills related to body or mind

Interactions
Since fairies love to trick, they can do so with the available interactions, depending on what Fairy Magic level they are in. This may cause negative relationship.
 * To Sims

But fairies can also be in the good side. They can use auras or use the Playful Pester interaction where a fairy playfully circles the head of a Sim in their natural form. It boosts social and fun motives in both of them.

Fairies can give their fairy dust to Sims which can be used to remove the zombie curse or give another Sim the ability to float.

Fairies can also play round by the Fairy Frolic interaction. Similar to the Playful Pester interaction, it is performed by two fairies and they turn into their natural forms and play around.
 * To other Fairies

Offspring
Fairy power can be spread to other Sims around town by mating with a normal Sim or a Supernatural. Genetics play the key role in this. From mating with a normal Sim or a Supernatural, there will be 50% chance that the offspring can inherit fairy power.

Baby fairies do not have wings, but you can tell what wing color a baby fairy will have by the color of sparkles surrounding her. Toddler fairies will have their wings but they cannot do anything as a normal fairy except fairy hover. They will have fairy-styled idle animations such as floating and flapping of wings.

Child fairies can perform four tricks as a fairy to Sims. When becoming Teen fairies, they can then perform other tricks like a normal fairy, assuming that they have a high level of Fairy Magic skill. So child fairies can start using the given four tricks to gain their skill.

Trivia

 * In addition to their wings, their bodies can glow.
 * Baby fairies don't have wings.
 * There are several new moodlets related to fairies. Some show level of magic warnings, some are related to Lunar Cycle, and some to fairy interactions.
