The Sims 4 Enchanted by Nature is here, but fairies aren’t the only new feature to come to EA’s life sim – so is rapper T-Pain

After a long-awaited reveal, fairies have finally fluttered into The Sims 4 with new expansion pack Enchanted by Nature – and… *checks notes* rapper T-Pain has become one?

It’s 2012 again, and Katy Perry is partnering with The Sims 3 for exclusive themed content – except this time, it’s 2025, and the celebrity working with EA is none other than T-Pain. Yes, you read that right. In a new online post, the musician exclaims that “they made me an actual fairy in The Sims 4,” calling it a “magical” moment. Attached is a clip of him on stage dancing with a mid-video transition to him as a Sims fairy.

Sound is playing, too, and it’s as hilarious as the video itself. You know that viral “she was a fairy” bit that plays over TikTok videos and YouTube shorts? It’s that, but in Simlish. T-Pain also reveals that he’ll be going live to play Sims on both Twitch and YouTube this Thursday, July 17 – presumably when we’ll finally get to see his fairy-fied Sim self in action. Honestly, this is a collaboration I never knew I needed.

EA has previously teamed up with celebrities, like Katy Perry, to promote The Sims, so it’s not exactly ground-breaking stuff – but of all the folks they’ve had so far, this one definitely has taken me by the most surprise. Recently, a similar stream was hosted alongside Megan Thee Stallion, in which the Enchanted by Nature pack was first unveiled, so who knows – we might even see more celeb crossovers soon.

After spending years with her head in various fantastical realms’ clouds, Anna studied English Literature and then Medieval History at the University of Edinburgh, going on to specialize in narrative design and video game journalism as a writer. She has written for various publications since her postgraduate studies, including Dexerto, Fanbyte, GameSpot, IGN, PCGamesN, and more. When she’s not frantically trying to form words into coherent sentences, she’s probably daydreaming about becoming a fairy druid and befriending every animal or she’s spending a thousand (more) hours traversing the Underdark in Baldur’s Gate 3. If you spot her away from her PC, you’ll always find Anna with a fantasy book, a handheld video game console of some sort, and a Tamagotchi or two on hand.
