The Sims 4 encourages players to personalize their world with new and intuitive tools while offering them the ability to effortlessly share their creativity with friends and fans.

The Sims 4 brings all new ways to play with life; powerful new creative tools, all-new Sims with enhanced emotion and intelligence, and a gaming experience where players control the mind, body and heart of their Sims to bring their stories to life like never before.

The Sims 4 Enchanted by Nature Expansion Pack will be available for EA app, Epic Games Store and Steam, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One systems on July 10.

In The Sims 4 Enchanted by Nature Expansion Pack, players can become one with the natural world, with Mother Nature calling them into the beautifully lush and wonderful land of Innisgreen. Whether players are experiencing a fairy new time, are interested in achieving balance with the all-new Apothecary table or experiencing an ailment—it’s just the beginning of their fairytale, full of new adventures, skills and traits. 

A Sprinkle of Fairy Dust, Please

Mother Nature has a fairy interesting proposition, should you choose to accept it. With her guidance, Sims can become the Fairy they were destined to be, and once they complete their transformation, they’ll have the choice to flutter down two fairy different paths. There’s the Harmonious Fairy, a benevolent winged helper who wants to aide other living things find health and balance; and the Discordant Fairy, a flying mischief-maker that enjoys stirring up a little chaos and making everyday life harder for the Sims around them. The Fairy Path is yours to fly — with wings to match. 

Fairies can develop abilities that let them nurture plants, manipulate objects, change the moods of others, and more. But be wary of Emotional Starvation. Rather than living off food, Fairies absorb emotions to survive, either directly from other Sims or from bottled Emotion Potions. Failure to do so may welcome their untimely demise. 

You’ll be able to customize your Fairy look to your own Fairy liking with an extensive array of wings, skin tones, ears, teeth, head accessories, glowing tattoos and more. Fairies can even use their Fairy charm to deliver a special WooHoo! 

Don’t worry non-Fairy Sims, you can also have some magical fun with Fairy Dust, using it to enchant plants, bring Gnomes to life, and more.

So, whether your Fairy Sim chooses to sow wonder or spark chaos, or you’re a Sim with fairy interesting neighbors, it’s just the beginning of your fairytale.

Emphasis On Green

Three neighborhoods make up Innisgreen, each one connecting you to nature in their own unique way. There's the Coast of Adhmor, a peaceful seaside village where everyday Sims enjoy life’s simple pleasures. Stepping out of town brings us to Sprucederry Grove, a vibrant blend of friendly shops, cozy homes and draping ivy that blur the line between civilization and the natural world. And finally, we venture deep into the magical forest of Everdew, a thick and mysterious woodland humming with enchanting energy.

 Innisgreen is full of new adventures, skills and traits, too. You can balance moods and discover natural remedies with your Apothecary Table; seek out Mother Nature and embark on a transformative journey to becoming a Fairy; be your best plant parent and fill your home with a new array of houseplants; or unlock your inner Nature Nomad to dwell among the trees and live off the land.

It’s All About Balance

Living in tune with nature is more than playing in dirt and hugging trees; it means respecting the natural world, and promoting a balanced coexistence. Living in Innisgreen, Sims must become emotionally grounded and find that balance, or welcome the chaos.  

When Sims start to lose their balance and become imbalanced, life can get a little harder to navigate. For example, one may acquire new skills at a slower rate or their everyday needs may become harder to solve; and if a Sim enters the very imbalanced territory, that’s when Ailments start to show up, like the Greenie Meanie. With this Ailment, Sims will learn and complete Gardening tasks faster than normal-yay! But, they’re constantly angry and prone to outbursts that are off-putting to other nearby Sims–eek! And that’s just one of many; there’s Emotional Void, Simoleon Fever, and Sonic Sinuses, to name a few.

But imbalance isn’t the end; it’s simply the beginning of a new journey. 

Ailments can vanish and moods can improve with cures and elixirs crafted from the new Apothecary Table. With special ingredients like the Lightning Root and Aura Blossom found while gardening and foraging, Sims can follow intricate recipes for treatments with fantastical effects. And with the right amount of practice, one can take on the Elixir Enthusiast Aspiration or become a Naturopath, a new profession that serves to cure fellow Sims of their curious Ailments. 

Achieving balance, however, may require a little luck. Sims living in Innisgreen may experience good, ordinary or bad luck, which in turn may affect their career, love life, cooking, foraging and other interactions or tasks. Luckily for you, there are two luck charms that can be found, purchased or made (at the Apothecary Table), which will modify your Sim’s luck, for good or bad.

Now you have to ask yourself, will your Sim seek balance, or will they embrace the chaos of an unbalanced life in nature?

Let Natural Living Come Naturally

Step outside and make yourself at home. Whether you’re honing your Natural Living Skill or seeking the Nature Nomad Aspiration, Innisgreen gives Sims the chance to eat, bathe, sleep, and thrive entirely off the land. Forget modern comforts, this is about embracing a simpler life in rhythm–and balance–with the world around you. From eating freshly caught fish and sleeping in the grass, to foraging for apothecary ingredients and summoning a Privy Bush when nature calls, every new discovery and experience brings your Sim closer to self-reliance.

For those not quite ready to give up hot showers and cozy beds, you can try the plant parent life instead and welcome a collection of new living houseplants inside your humble abode. They’re not just decoration, like they’ve been in the past; they’ll need water, care, and constant companionship. You’ll even be able to place them on shelves, tables and floors to transform your home into a tranquil garden sanctuary. 

Now, do you aspire to be an Elixir Enthusiast, a Nature Nomad, or…

You Make The Sims

Imagining Innisgreen: Community Builds Featured in Enchanted by Nature

To capture the enchanting atmosphere of Innisgreen, we partnered with creators TheCrackedKyber, The Sim Scrolls, Ninahschmidt and Sandra Pyka to build an array of captivating and unique lots.  

The neighborhoods of Innisgreen not only draw on nature and fantasy elements, but they also take some inspiration from the architecture and aesthetics of Ireland and Celtic artistry.

CrackedKyber, otherwise known as Megan, built community lots Whistling Thistle Gardens and the Starsong Lounge, as well as 8 Gnome Coast Street.

Catching up with Sims at the Whistling Thistle Gardens is a favorite pastime of the Sprucederry Grove residents. This community garden has been carefully curated over the years to grow all of the residents' favorite harvests. Besides socializing and gardening, painting and photography are especially enjoyable here as the light and natural ambience ignite creativity.

“I wanted the park to be functional for a range of life stages, so I added items to make sure the whole family can spend the day there together,” said Megan. “The park is a really good representation of my building style and feels the most me.”

The Sim Scrolls designed two residential lots: Gimmley Gardensbrook and Puckitt Hall, and created The GNOM Exhibit. 

Gimmley Gardensbrook is a garden oasis filled with luscious greenery, placing residents on a hill they'll want to die on. Plentiful plots, gracious greens, and quaint carvings all give this storybook home two green thumbs up!

“I think all the levels make it feel more organic and untamed,” said The Sim Scrolls. “I wanted it to feel wild like it was merging with nature, so having the home partially built into a hill just felt right. But I also wanted to emulate the vibes of an English Cottage Garden.”

Ninahschmidt, or Nina, designed three residential lots: Crannamor Residential, Greenwood Hamlet Residence and Bard Boulevard. 

Along the outskirts of Everdew lies Crannamor Residential, a quaint home, built into one of the largest trees in the forest. The breathtaking scenery is made more beautiful by the neighborhood's denizens, who can be seen out and about, using their enchantments on the world and Sims alike.

“It was very important for me to build something unique with a very unconventional shape that would do justice to the beautiful place where it's located,” said Nina. “I spent a long time with this build, playing with different shapes and styles until I was happy with it.” 

Nina’s advice for aspiring builders: “Adding some colorful lighting makes a big difference. And now we can place plants on roofs, which adds a lot of whimsy to a build!”

Sandra Pyka built a total of three lots for the Expansion Pack: Gringle’s, 1 Mari Shores Road and 42 Normfair Drive.

Gringle's has been the local hot spot for Sims to enjoy a few drinks after a long day of mixing Elixirs. Located near the center of Sprucederry Grove, Sims come to take in the greenery and partake in delectable conversation.

“It’s a community space, somewhere your Sims can meet as a family, or come on a date, or venture out alone to use the chess table as an activity,” said Sandra, who hails from Ireland. “The overgrown feel of the bar is inspired by the way nature flourishes here in Ireland. To be able to bring some real-life research to this pack felt surreal, I felt very honored, and as a result, it inspired me to do the best I can for my builds!”
