This update introduces three new elixirs, along with tooltip refinements and mechanical polish.
✨ Tooltips & Buff Clarity
Beastial Ascension – Tooltip Rewrite
Minor wording adjustments for clarity and flow.
Soul Ascension – Tooltip Rewrite
Clarified CAS instructions. There's a little tip that tells you to change their look in create a sim.
Some people were confused on what to do when entering CAS. My bad…
Now clearly blocks all interactions that would allow a Sim to become a fairy for 3 days:
Fairy Sims cannot turn them.
They cannot plant the Fairy Seedling.
They cannot speak to Mother Nature.
Updated description to accurately reflect its mechanical penalty.

Drinking the elixir has a chance to kill the fairy or unlock a new ability.
If unlocked, the fairy gains access to Deadly Poison.
Deadly Poison kills the target in 3 days.
The ability becomes available after purchasing the Ailment perk.
Only fairies who possess this power can cure the poison.
Any Sim can drink the elixir, but only fairies can wield the ability.
Sims who unlock the new ability become immune to the poison.
A power that trades emotional stability for control.
Level 10 Apothecary skill
Allows fairies to cast grief onto other Sims.
Grief can alternatively be consumed for Emotional Force.
Each use applies a Balance penalty.
Repeated use degrades Balance and may trigger ailments.

⚙ System & Compatibility Fixes
Removed Journey to Batuu region blacklists.
LDF abilities now function in Batuu worlds.
(Sorry for not catching it. I saw the blacklist, but I don’t own the pack, so I wasn’t sure what it did.)
Updated hostile LDF powers to trigger scandals.
Sterile Bloom and Call Back the Gift do not trigger scandals.
Withered Womb only triggers a scandal when cast on pregnant Sims.
🎭 Moodlet & Animation Updates
Now applies injury-style idle animations.
Added a response animation when used outside of a full moon.
Moodlet now applies howl idle animations. (Allegedly. I did not see it while testing, but perhaps it was bad rng. Who knows.)
