Fairies can consume food in The Sims 4 Enchanted by Nature, and while it may give them positive or negative moodlets, it doesn't affect their Needs, as they don't have a Hunger meter like human Sims and other occult species. Instead, players have to keep an eye on their Emotional Force Need.
How to Cheat Needs in The Sims 4
Taking care of your Sims doesn't have to feel like a chore - make it simple with these accessible cheats for The Sims 4.
This guide tells players what they need to know about the Emotional Force Need in The Sims 4, and it teaches players how they can take care of it to ensure that their fairy Sims don't accidentally die of Emotional Starvation.

How to Feed a Fairy in The Sims 4
There are four ways to regain Emotional Force in The Sims 4; players can either regenerate it at a Fairy Home, using Fairy Dust, taking advantage of certain Fairy Abilities, visiting Moondrop Springs, or absorbing the emotion of another Sim.
How to Regenerate Emotional Force at a Fairy Home
There are several Fairy Homes scattered around Innisgreen, and players can also place them in their owned lots. They fill up with Emotional Force from time to time, and fairy Sims can interact with them and absorb it.
However, Fairy Homes can be out of reach at times. If a Sim lives in Innisgreen or they have a Fairy Home in their home lot, they're great, but if they visit another world, they won't have access to this source of Emotional Force.
How to Use Fairy Dust to Regenerate Emotional Force
Players can regenerate Emotional Force by using five piles of Fairy Dust from their inventory. To replenish Emotional Force with Fairy Dust, gamers must select their starved Sim, open the Fairy menu, and select Regenerate Emotional Force with Fairy Dust.
How to Regenerate Emotional Force with Fairy Abilities
As fairy Sims increase their rank, they receive Ability Points that can be used to unlock Fairy Abilities. In the Customization Abilities section, there are perks that make it possible for Sims to replenish their Emotional Force by performing certain interactions or gain extra Emotional Force by absorbing a certain type of emotion.
When fairy Sims reach Fairy Radiant rank, they can unlock the Energetic Dreamer Ability, which allows them to replenish their Emotional Force simply by sleeping.
How to Regenerate Emotional Force at Moondrop Springs
Fairy Sims can replenish all of their Emotional Force by visiting Moondrop Springs, which is the mystical lake in the Everdew neighborhood of Innisgreen, and selecting the Bask in Emotions interaction on the spring.
How to Absorb Emotions From Other Sims
The most reliable way to regenerate Emotional Force in The Sims 4 is to absorb the emotions of other Sims. Gamers will deplete their stock of Fairy Dust much faster if they use it for Emotional Force regeneration, so they might want to save it for other purposes. Fairy Homes are also not a reliable way to replenish this Need, as they are tied to specific locations.
To absorb a Sim's emotions in The Sims 4 and replenish this Need for fairy Sims, players have to interact with a Sim while controlling a fairy Sim, select the Fairy social menu, and then pick the Absorb Emotion option. This option will be unavailable for Sims who don't have strong enough moodlets at the time, but if players are in a lot with heavy traffic, they shouldn't have problems finding a Sim with emotions to absorb.
Players should consider using the Detect Emotion interaction whenever they are in a highly populated area, as it allows them to see which Sims have emotions to absorb and which Sims have emotions that are too powerful. If a fairy absorbs too many powerful emotions, it can lead to Death by Emotional Overload.
Fairy Sims can summon Mother Nature and ask her to remove their Fairy Essence. This fully depletes their Emotional Force but gives them a bottle of Fairy Essence, which can instantly refill it. If players have another handy method of doing it, they can save the potion for a rainy day.
