Top Confirmed Features of the Enchanted by Nature EP

Oh man, so where to even begin with this Sims 4 thing, huh? The upcoming expansion, “Enchanted by Nature” — that name alone kind of makes you think of an elven druid or something, right? — has people buzzing like bees on a summer day. Why? Let’s say they’ve been dreaming about some magical, nature-centric twist for ages. Seriously, it’s like they’ve been keeping a wish list and this one’s at the top, underlined, with little stars around it.

Okay, so I stumbled upon this trailer for it (June 26 — mark it down if you’re as forgetful as I am). Picture this: houseplants aren’t just there to give your Sims’ pad a bit of green flair anymore. Now, you’re a plant parent. You water them, or, well, they croak. But hang tight — you can enchant them! Maybe they’ll start watering themselves. Wild, right? But do we all get to be plant Whisperers? Who knows! Fingers crossed, we can keep ’em as simple decor — I’m not about that extra chore life, thank you very much.

Do you care about your Sims’ mood? You’d better, because their life balance is at stake, apparently. Don’t keep an eye on it? Bam! They get sick. We’re not talking about the sniffles but Enchanted by Nature-exclusive oopsies.

Remember how luck worked in Sims 3? That little charm where some Sims had it all, while others were… um, blessed by the calamity gods? It’s back, kinda. Except now it’s like this fluctuating stat, so maybe today is your Sim’s lucky day… or not.

Ever fancied yourself a potion master, like mixing up brews in a digital cauldron while dodging real-life responsibilities? We’ve got the Apothecary Skill now. You level it up, you get more magic to throw around. Easy, right? Probably harder in-game, but let’s dream big for now.

And then, there’s this Nature Nomad business, which sounds like just setting your Sim free in the wild. Like, “Bye, house, hello grass bed.” You grind up this Natural Living Skill. You’re foraging, you’re living like… well, nothing like anyone I know. It’s the ultimate unplugged experience — if that’s your jam.

Oh, building! They’re adding more stuff to make earthy homes. Think whimsical — like it came outta a fairy tale. And speaking of fairies, yep, they’re finally here. You can transform into Tinkerbell or whatever. Not just a style, but literal fairy paths to choose from — Harmony or Discord, which sounds dramatic but fun.

So, anyway, July 10 is when it’s all happening. Gosh, all this has me spun in circles. Hopefully, it’s as magical as it seems. I guess we’ll find out!
