Wish For a Child (or Changeling) from the Fairies

From the first time I say the fairy ring in Enchanted by Nature, I thought it would be the perfect place to makes wishes to the Fairies... or to dance for them, or to disappear to the Faerie Realm, but that's a different story. And from the time I heard that Fairies were going to be added to the game, I wondered if there would be a chance for Changelings. We got neither from the game, but here's my take on it.

This mod lets you go to the Fairy Ring (the ring of mushrooms in Sprucederry Grove) and Wish for a Child from the Fairies. The Fairies will think about it, and your sim will react based on how it goes. If they decide to give you a child, in a few seconds you'll get a notification and your child will appear in the Fairy Ring. They'll be added to your household and become the wisher's son/daughter.

You might get an infant, a toddler, or a child with positive or negative or random traits, and while they'll usually be human, sometimes you'll get a Changeling, who may be any occult (except Servos, because they can't be kids). They may or may not arrive with some skills already started.

If you get a Changeling, your sim will try to deny it, but they will eventually accept that they now have a Changeling. How it goes after that is up to you and your sim.

After you wish for a child, you have to wait for 24 hours before the Fairies will listen to you again.

It's not cheap! The Fairies don't give anything away for free. Come prepared to fork over 5000 Simoleons if you want to be considered. And there are no refunds if you get turned away with empty arms.

All children who are wished for will get a trait that marks them as A Gift from the Fairies or as a Changeling. Sims with the Changeling trait will be more mischievous that other sims.

You're most likely to get a toddler, then an infant, then a child, then a Changeling, which is further influenced by your sim's traits -- a sim who hates children is less likely to get a child at all, an elder is more likely to get a child-aged child, and a sim with the Family Oriented trait is more likely to get an infant, for example.

For human children, you're most likely to get positive traits, then random traits, then negative traits.

For Changelings, you're most likely to get a Fairy, then Werewolf/Dormant Wolf or Mermaid, then Alien/Alien Hybrid, then Vampire or Spellcaster. The order of occults is based on the default relationships that Fairies have with them. They're more likely to have a spare child around if they have a decent relationship with their occult. Their traits are mostly random, but they might have some reward traits based on their occult.

No wished for children should spawn with the Skeptical trait. They might get it when they age up, but not when they just arrived from the Fairy Realm. Skeptical sims can make a wish, but they might not like the results.

Requirements to use the interaction:

1. Must be young adult, adult, or elder.
2. Must have room in your household for another sim. The game will count pets and unborn babies and unborn baby pets towards this total.
3. Must have at least 5000 Simoleons.
4. Must not have used the interaction in the past 24 hours.

Known minor issues that I can't change:

1. Your sim's arms might stretch if they try to pick up their new infant while they're still at the centre of the Fairy Ring. This would affect people with Growing Together, because those infants can't crawl yet.
2. If you're missing a pack that has an occult (Get to Work, Island Living, Realm of Magic, Vampires, or Werewolves), you might get a human Changeling. The game will randomize the occult before checking if the occult exists, and if it doesn't exist, will create the child anyway. This will cause no errors, and you'll just have a kid who's more mischievous than another kid with the same other traits and preferences.
3. I can't recommend having your sim's partner adopt the wished for child as their own child until the married to siblings bug is fixed. Adopt as Caregiver should be fine, but adopting as their own child might trigger the bug.

Required for this mod to work at all:

• Lot 51's Core Library
• Enchanted by Nature

Recommended but not required (you might get human Changelings if you don't have them):

• Get to Work
• Island Living
• Realm of Magic
• Vampires
• Werewolves

Thanks to OneMoreKayaker and Waffle, who helped me figure out workarounds for the weird things that the game should let happen but won't (like spawning in child occult sims -- the game hates that and tried very hard to make them all adults, even vampires who don't age to adult on their own).

Updates:

• March 27, 2026: Updated for what I can only assume was some corrupted files. The new files look identical to the old ones and work exactly the same, but Tuning Error Notifier has no issue with the new ones but did with the old ones. Please update so that your game is slightly happier to do the same thing it was doing before.
