Re: Sims 4 realm of magic cannot ask to learn magic

@Brooklyn270

If you have any mods
Move the mods folder to the desktop.
Delete localthumbcache.package file in the game folder.  Delete also all folders with the word "cache" in the name - important!

Fix the game in Origin.
Origin/Library - right-click on TS4 - option "Repair game"
You have to wait until Origin will fix all packs, not only the base game.

Turn on the game to create a new, empty mods folder. Check if a game is working now without mods.
Then copy from desktop your mods and CC and paste it in the new mods folder. First, paste script mods every time checking if the game is OK. Do the same with CC but if you have a lot of this, try the 50/50 method

If you don't have CC or mods delete this file and fix the game also. The game will create the same new file but without saved errors.

I don't work for EA

    Thank you so much for your help! I’ve tried all the steps with the same result (nothing for my one sim) I’m wondering if it’s because she’s also a mermaid? 

    Again I really appreciate the help! 🙂

    Buy her two portions of seaweed for points and after eating she will turn into a human. Then she will be able to ask sage about magic.

    @Brooklyn270 Sims can't be more than one occult type in this game, outside of occasional glitches. So if she's a mermaid that's definitely why she can't ask to be taught magic.

    @kreatora when creating my sim, will it not work for asking to learn magic (because it won't) just because she is already a spellcaster in create a sim?

    You confuse two concepts. It is different to ask sage to make your sim become a wizard, and another thing is to ask sage to learn magic. Of course, your sim will be able to ask sage to learn magic. You just need to know that your sim must have some level of familiarity with this sage. He doesn't have to be a friend of sage, but they need to get to know each other a little.

    Hey @ivyherstory,

    This thread is quite old, so it's generally best to create your own thread if you're unable to find a more recent topic you'd like to discuss.

    I'll be locking the thread here to prevent further necroposting, thanks!
