Sims 3: How to Become a Fairy

In The Sims 3: Supernatural, becoming a fairy unlocks a range of magical abilities, including flight, auras, and playful pranks. Whether you’re creating a new Sim or transforming an existing one, here’s how to embrace the fairy life.​

Method 1: Create a Fairy in Create-a-Sim (CAS)

The simplest way to start as a fairy is during Sim creation:​

1. Enter CAS:
   • Begin a new game or use the “Edit Sim” option in Edit Town mode.​
2. Select Supernatural Type:
   • In the Basics tab, click on the “Supernatural Type” button.
   • Choose Fairy from the list.​
3. Customize Your Fairy:
   • Access the “Fairy Basics” tab to select wing styles and colors.
   • Choose from designs like Willowed Wisps, Dreamy Dragonfly, or Majestic Monarch. ​

Method 2: Use the Bottled Blessing of the Fae Elixir

Transform an existing Sim into a fairy using this alchemical elixir:​

1. Acquire the Elixir:
   • Purchase:
     • Visit the Elixir Consignment Store; the elixir may appear in stock periodically.
   • Craft:
     • Reach level 10 in the Alchemy skill.
     • Gather ingredients: Red Toadstool, Sunstone, and Fairy Damsel fish.
     • Use the alchemy station to create the elixir.
2. Administer the Elixir:
   • Have your Sim drink the elixir or throw it at another Sim to transform them into a fairy.​

Method 3: Search for Fairies at the Arboretum

Embark on a quest to become a fairy through exploration:​

1. Visit the Arboretum:

2. Search for Fairies:
   • Click on the Arboretum and select “Search for Fairies.”
   • Your Sim may receive an opportunity called “Becoming a Fairy.”

Method 4: Use Mods for Instant Transformation

For a direct approach, mods can facilitate the transformation:​
