Fairies In Sims 3

In The Sims 3: Supernatural, fairies were introduced as one of the most enchanting life states, bringing whimsical charm and mischievous magic to the world of Moonlight Falls. These winged beings could shrink to a miniature size, cast playful auras, and perform tricks such as making Sims temporarily clumsy or zapping them with magical energy. Fairies had their own unique skill progression, allowing them to build magical power as they leveled up. They could even reside in adorable fairy houses, where they would eat, sleep, and socialize away from the prying eyes of humans. With customizable wings, glowing auras, and nature-loving traits, the fairies in The Sims 3 were both beautiful and delightfully chaotic, blending everyday life with a perfect touch of mischief and sparkle.
✨ Becoming a Fairy
There are a few ways your Sim can become a fairy:
-
Create one directly in Create-A-Sim.
-
Be born to fairy parents.
-
Use the Midas Touch or Bottled Blessing of the Fae from alchemy.
In CAS, you can choose your fairy’s wing style and color, from delicate butterfly wings to more angular fae shapes. Wings flutter as your Sim moves, giving them a magical sparkle wherever they go.
Genetics & Fairy Babies
Fairy powers are hereditary. Two fairy Sims will likely have fairy children, who’ll sprout wings and gain abilities as they age. Even one fairy parent gives a good chance of passing on the magic!
Fairy Abilities & Powers

Fairies come with an arsenal of abilities that grow as their Fairy Magic skill increases. Here’s what they can do:
🌿 Auras
Fairies can project magical auras that influence those around them:
-
Aura of Soothing – Calms Sims.
-
Aura of Creativity – Boosts artistic and writing skills.
-
Aura of Body and Mind – Increases logic and athletic skills.
🌒 Unique Interactions & Lifestyle
-
Fairies have unique idle animations and sparkling visual effects.
-
They can perform “Float Here” to instantly zip to another part of the lot.
-
Their pranks might make enemies, but they’re usually taken with laughter.
-
Sims may react differently to them based on traits (e.g., Supernatural Skeptic vs. Fan).
🎭 Fairy Tricks
Fairies are mischievous! They can:
-
Play tricks like setting traps on toilets or making Sims itch.
-
Bloom plants instantly.
-
Fly around in miniature form, zipping through the air.
🌳 The Fairy House

One of the most charming fairy features is the Fairy House. It’s a miniature, whimsical structure where fairies can:
-
Sleep
-
Socialize
-
Throw parties (yes, inside the house!)
-
Woohoo, or try for a baby
Fairies don’t need beds, so this becomes their main hangout and energy-recharging spot.
