The Sims 4has added one of the most delightful new life states to the game inEnchanted by Nature, the newest expansion pack. While this pack brings all the charming elements one would expect from fairies, including custom wings, magical forests, and cozy natural builds,players are also discovering a darker side to the fairies in their own homes.
In the Summerdream home, a premade household with a couple and their daughter in Innisgreen, userLingx_Catsdiscovered an unsettling detail in the basement: an actual dungeon. Though they asked “Why do the Summerdreams have a DUNGEON in their basement????”,it’s pretty clear from the small cells and heavy doors that this dungeon is meant for human prisoners.
Sims 4’s Summerdream Fairies Might Be Hard To Trust
One Little Basement Dungeon Never Hurt Anyone
While the choice to add a literal dungeon into the basement of what comes across as a kind fairy home may seem out of left field,The Sims 4simply embraces every part of the traditional fairy. As userLadyTalahpointed out, “Fairies aren’t all fun and games, ya know.”In folklore, fairies are often malicious tricksters, unlike their more palatable Disney-like representations. The addition of a dungeon in one of the more prominent households in Innisgreen is a good reminder that not all fairies are good-hearted.
The Sims 4has made iteasy for players to embrace all sides of being a fairywith thetwo different life paths availableto each fairy. As for the Summerdream family, the discovery of a dungeon may be off-putting at first, but players shouldn’t worry as long as they stay in the family’s good graces.
Enchanted By Nature’s Details Make It A Fun Expansion
Creepy Details Keep Gameplay Interesting
Enchanted by Nature is one of the best new expansion packs inThe Sims 4, especially for supernatural life states. Past supernatural additions, particularlyThe Sims 4’s mermaids, haven’t been as fully fleshed outas they deserve, but that’s certainly not the case with fairies. Little details like the Summerdream family having a dungeon in the basement, presumably for human prisoners,make Enchanted by Nature very fun to discover. Fairies are both good and evil, and their homes reflect that.
One user,wolf_genie, pointed outa likely reason the Summerdream family has such a scary basement, commenting, “Probably because the builds in this pack were made by simmers, hahaha.”Since these builds were made by the community rather than Maxis, more unhinged additions were included. RealThe Sims 4players have always been liberal with morality in their gameplay, as fandom jokes like removing ladders from the pool and having a money goblin are common.
