The Sims 4’s Enchanted by Nature expansion has received a new gameplay trailer. With a runtime of nearly seven minutes, the promo video explores numerous features of the upcomingThe Sims 4add-on, revealing some new information in the process.
Electronic Arts officiallyannounced its nature-themedSims 4expansion packon June 12. Inspired by Celtic folklore and Ireland, the add-on will introduce the Fairy Sim type—something a subset of fans has requested for years. Enchanted by Nature is set to launch on PC and consoles on July 10.
In the run-up to its debut, EA shared a new Enchanted by Nature trailer on June 26. The video serves as a gameplay overview of the upcoming expansion, highlighting new features and expanding on previously confirmed ones. Notably, it provides the first detailed look at Fairy Abilities—seen around the three-minute mark—which appear to offer a relatively high number of mutually exclusive choices relative to most otherThe Sims 4mastery trees.
Enchanted by Nature Is Seemingly Expanding on PlantSims
The late June trailer also hints at Enchanted by Nature expanding on PlantSims. First introduced in 2003’sThe Sims: Makin’ Magic,PlantSims currently exist inThe Sims 4as a temporary occult form triggered by eating the Forbidden Fruit. With several PlantSims featured in the new trailer, EA may be signaling a revamp of this form in Enchanted by Nature, potentially turning it into a permanent occult type. The trailer also depicts Mother Nature without wings, suggesting she may be a PlantSim.
The video also includes glimpses of some newThe Sims 4furnitureand building materials. Notably, a new type of glass wall or floor-to-ceiling window appears around the 1:05 and 6:15 marks. As for Fairies, a brief scene at 2:55 shows one without wings, which reappear in the next frame. While this could simply be a mistake or glitch, it may also indicate that Fairies will be able to hide their wings at will. Although EA and Maxis previously stated that Enchanted by Nature is primarily inspired by Ireland, the actress narrating the trailer speaks with a Scottish accent. This suggests the upcoming add-on may draw more broadly from Gaelo-Celtic culture, rather than exclusively from Irish folklore and architecture.
