The Sims 4: Fairies vs. Witches Mod

It's here! This is a mod I've been working on for over a year and I finally feel that it's good enough to release. Am I too picky about my work? Absolutely. Am I going to change? Absolutely not. There is SO MUCH MORE I want to do with this mod, so keep an eye out for updates and take a look at the bottom of this post to read the list of potential features that could be added in the future! This mod is heavily inspired by tv shows from my childhood such as W.I.T.C.H., Winx Club, Sailor Moon, etc. and contains almost 100 custom animations, a few CAS items, some Buy Mode objects, custom sounds, and LOTS of gameplay, so let's go over everything! 

Revamped Sylvan Glade

You may notice that there are some new friends inhabiting the hidden meadow called Sylvan Glade... Fairies! Now trips to this little land will be much less lonely, as fairies will be seen roaming around, casting spells and challenging each other to magic spar sessions! Most importantly, you will meet the Ethereal Guardian, one of the more experienced fairies of the glade who watches over everyone and makes sure no intruders threaten their peaceful lives. A quick chat with them may even point you in the direction of becoming one of these enchanting beings! Of course, you can find your way to this place through the magical tree in Willow Creek, however there may be a more convenient way through a quaint little sculpture... 

The Giving Fairy

In buy mode, you can find a charming fairy sculpture set atop a pedestal with her hand outstretched. She is said to provide nearby plants with excess health and nourishment, while inspiring sims to utilize their green thumb! However, if one were to be generous and offer her a flower or perhaps a pretty crystal, she may open a door to another land... 

Fairies

One of the two titular occult beings included in this mod is the fairy! Fairies are whimsical creatures who enjoy flying here and there and tend to leave a trail of glitter everywhere they go. However, in the normal world, it is important to blend in, so they have the ability to repress their magic and appear as any other human. Not only that, but many aspects of their fairy form are completely customizable! Want to ditch the glitter? It's gone. Are the wings too bulky and reduce aerodynamic efficiency? No problem! Fairies are diverse creatures and can look however you want. Just as they have unique features, they also have unique powers and abilities! Practicing their Fairy Magic will unlock various spells that can be learned from a special book... But more on that later. Onto the next occult! 

Witches

Most people assume spellcasters are the “witches” of The Sims 4, and those people are wrong! Until now, they've been hidden and forced to practice magic in secret, but now they're ready to come out of the broom closet! Witches are darker and grittier than the spellcasters of the Magic Realm, dabbling in powers that are deemed too dangerous and inhumane to be tolerated. With the guidance of their spiritual ancestors, these magic-wielders can ascend in rank and gain experience as they study Witchcraft and battle each other or even fairies and spellcasters. There is much to be learned, including the history of witchcraft and why they are so disliked by other magical beings... 

The Witchcraft Altar

An important staple in the aspiring Supreme Witch's décor is the Witchcraft Altar, found in buy mode. This intriguing surface is carved from an unusual material and has several uses. Humans may find it relaxing to meditate before it and might even summon a surprise visitor... Witches, on the other hand, are able to use it to gain experience and hone their skill with their coven mates as well as cast special spells when Altar Configurations are in place. If certain objects are placed in just the right spot, magic will happen... 

Power Sources

One of the defining features of fairies and witches alike is their ability to form intimate connections with various elements of the world. Once a witch or fairy has come into their magic, they can search for a source of power to draw upon, which will affect the way their magic manifests while casting spells or practicing. This will also influence the success rate, strength, outcome, and overall effect of certain spells and how easy or fast it is to learn them, as well as unlock interactions that are unavailable to other sims. Just start clicking on certain objects, or the sim under certain circumstances, to discover what sources you can choose! 

The Books

Both fairies and witches have helpful guides to catalog their magical journeys! “The Fairy Handbook” and “The Guide to Witchcraft” are essential to keep track of your sim's progress and learn new spells. Both can be found in buy mode, however there are also some other ways to procure them... 

Perks and Spells

What would fairies and witches be without a little magic?? Well, worry not, because there are plenty of spells to be learned. As long as your magic skill is developed enough, or you have the right power source, any spell can be learned from the Fairy Handbook or the Guide to Witchcraft. Just keep practicing your magic and building Experience and you'll be casting spells like a pro!

Alongside spells, perks can also be gained through increasing Fairy Form or Witch Rank! Perks are more tied to a fairy or witch's personality and lifestyle than spells and they affect things like the speed of gaining skills, transportation, or the way one lives their life... These abilities can be developed at the Giving Fairy Statue or the Witchcraft Altar if a sim's Experience is high enough!

 CAS Items

Several CAS items are available, including many variations of wings in different styles, and are easily identifiable by a small icon in the upper righthand corner of the thumbnails. I admit that CAS item creation is not my strong suit, so there are some imperfections, but I wanted to include content that works well with the mod even if you don't use any other CC. IMPORTANT: The wings included have a transparent mesh that uses the hat texture space and WILL conflict with any items that do the same. The Nymph Dress and Fairy Skirt also use texture space that will conflict with certain other CAS items, so it's best to experiment and figure out what can be used together.There is a special item called “Wing Skins” that you may notice do not show up in CAS. This is because they are meant to be invisible while a fairy sim is in human form. If you're interested in knowing how to use them, there will be a small post about them on my tumblr.

Conflicts and Requirements

This mod overrides the venue_HiddenGlade and cauldron_Start_Potion tunings, as well as 12 interactions for binding and unbinding the familiars from Realm of Magic and will conflict with any mods that alter the same resources. Other than that, this mod should have no conflicts.

The Fairies vs. Witches mod requires only the Base Game and the Realm of Magic game pack to function. Some interactions require Seasons to be fully functional, but the mod will work perfectly fine without the pack.*My other mods, Whitelighters and Expanded Mermaids, have also been updated with bug fixes and necessary changes that interact with this mod, so I HIGHLY recommend downloading those as well!

And that's about it! I hope you enjoy this mod and I look forward to seeing everything you do with it. Please take a look at the future plans below to see what I have planned and what you might be looking forward to!

Auto-Wing Feature and Wing Skins

Hope you all are enjoying the mod so far! I have a short little demo for you guys regarding the “Auto-Wings” feature and how they relate to the Wing Skins item in CAS.

Here, you can see that we selected the “Auto-Wings ON” option under the Fairy Form menu and this actually applies a transparent set of wings without a texture that will appear on the sim while channeling fairy magic. If you actually want wings to show up, you have to go into CAS and apply one of the Wing Skins to whichever outfits you want to have wings. You can apply them to one outfit, several outfits, all of them, you can select different skins for different outfits, etc.

Basically, both the invisible wings and the skins share the same texture space, meaning the wings will not show up unless your sim is channeling fairy magic, as you can see in the video. It may take some experimenting, but I found this to be the most versatile and customizable way to apply wings without a secondary form like vampires or aliens. Unfortunately, both these items conflict with hats and any other CAS item that uses the hat texture space. I wish this wasn’t the case, but that’s why I created multiple ways to simulate a “fairy form”. The “Magical Outfit” option is my personal favorite and you can see in the video that these options can be used together if you’d like.

If you want to create your own custom wings to use in the same way, all you need to do is retexture the Wing Skins, which you all have my permission to do. I’d love to see what other designs people could come up with! And I’ll probably create more to release in the future. If you have any questions about these features or you’re still confused, please don’t hesitate to message me! :)

hi!! any news about the fairies and witchs mod??

Hello! No major news yet. Currently, there are about 25 spells finished and about a dozen perks for both fairies and witches, but I still have more to complete. Sorry, I know people are eager for the release, but it’s taking a little more time than I expected and life has been throwing some curveballs. :/ But rest assured, the mod is always being worked on and it’s actually currently being beta tested by a couple friends of mine who are helping me make sure it’s polished and working. :)
