The Sims 4: Enchanted by Nature

With most new Sims 4 expansions, I usually hone in on the one or two aspects I like the most and don't sweat the rest too much. But with its fun new occult type, a wonderful new world, and unique build and CAS items, Enchanted by Nature is a rare Sims 4 pack that feels like a complete experience in itself. I can appreciate that players who prefer the dollhouse side of The Sims 4 may find the amount of CAS and build mode items lacking, but Enchanted by Nature is so much fun as a whole that I can live with that.

Enchanted by Nature is an excellent and welcome addition to the ever-growing collection of Expansion Packs for The Sims 4. It offers an abundance of activities and gameplay that will make obtaining this pack worthwhile. Those who enjoy nature-based gameplay and are looking for a new Occult and active career to play with will especially embrace it. It's hard to fault this Expansion Pack. As Fairies have been long-awaited and demanded by fans, they will hopefully not be disappointed by what Enchanted by Nature provides.

The Sims 4: Enchanted by Nature is a whimsical expansion pack ideal for anyone who loves Occult Sim playthroughs. It masterfully blends natural living elements with the magical world of fairies to create replayable gameplay experiences, all while combining fresh ideas with old yet refined concepts.

Enchanted by Nature is an impressive expansion for players who enjoy playing with occult Sims in The Sims 4, but the nature-themed content is minimal and takes too much of a backseat.

Enchanted by Nature is special in how it finally introduces Fairies to the Sims 4. You easily step into the wondrous world of Innisgreen which is full of things to do, lore to uncover and nature to wander around in. You really feel like you’re a part of a Fairy community, surrounded by mysticism and an outstanding build-mode and Create A Sim. However, this pack falls flat in a lot of other areas too, mainly its gameplay, which feels all too lackluster and may risk becoming really annoying in the long term. I feel like a lot of potential was lost here, but overall, I’m satisfied.

Enchanted by Nature kicks The Sims 4’s wackiness up a notch in all aspects while not feeling too overbearing, and even though Fairies and the new world are perfectly fine additions to the game, they might not blow Simmers away. Where the pack really shines is in its new Natural Living skill, enchanted Gnomes, and new items like the Living Houseplants. They’re all standouts of the pack, and while it’s not going to be worth getting this DLC for one of those alone, there’s a big chunk of content on offer here that has something for every Simmer.

The overall package is underwhelming and I consider Enchanted by Nature to be one of the weakest expansion packs. If I was paying for expansions, I would only consider it if there was a really good sale price.
