Hello! I have started working on a faerie trait and thought it would be fun to share and get any feedback! This is based off of Celtic fae lore in particular, as it's something I deeply enjoy 
This trait includes:
1.5x playful, angry, flirty, energized buffs
0.5x tense buff
An occasional +3 playful buff
Fun naturally decays 2x fast
Hunger naturally decays 1.5x fast
Hygiene decreases via gameplay 0.8x fast, because faeries hate messes, so I imagine they'd naturally be slightly cleaner
Gardening, mischief, writing, logic, and charisma all start at a slightly higher level
Whims include mischief, pranking, eating, baking, gardening, collecting crystals/metals, take a nap, flirt, dance, flatter someone, play in fountain, watch kids tv, swipe an item, play chess, discuss logic, write something, read something, play in rain, play in leaf pile, stargaze
Things they're more likely to autonomously do include dare to streak, scare, prank, pickpocket, eat cake, dance, sing, tease, clean, tell a fairytale, play, attempt to swipe, write, nap, gardening
Things they will not autonomously do include anything involving lying or harming nature, because faeries don't tell lies and obviously don't want to harm nature
Friendship and romance decreases and increases 1.5x speed, because faeries are manipulative and good with words, but also prone to being very offended by things
Cooking, painting, baking, comedy, handiness, and archaeology build 1.2x faster
Writing, singing, logic, herbalism, dancing, increase 2x fast
Mischief, gardening, and charisma increase 3x fast
Flower arranging and wellness increases 1.5x fast
Programming and video games increase 0.5x fast, because faeries aren't very interested in modern technology
Weight gain increases 0.5x fast
I would like to include a +2 happy buff whenever a sim with this trait obtains a crystal or metal collectible, because faeries like shiny things, although I'm still trying to figure out how to do that. I would also like to include an occasional broadcaster, though I'm not sure if that's possible, so I might just give a +1 dazed or tense broadcaster to all nearby, non-faerie sims. I might add in some more occasional buffs, like an occasional +3 angry buff, and possibly a couple simple social interactions. Nothing too crazy since I'm a newb. I wanted to add some buffs relating to the magic system, given faeries are associated with magick, but was unable to figure out how exactly to do that.
Anyway, if you read all this, let me know what you think! From my tests, everything seems to be working properly, but i still really want to add that happy buff from obtaining a crystal or metal. I also need to do some testing with the kleptomaniac traits, as I'd like for faerie sims to be able to autonomously swipe. I've only tested that the modifiers are working so far.
