At first I was playing a ghost spellcaster so when overcharging did nothing to my sim I thought it is ok. Though it was weird that the ghost not just stays "alive" (you know what I mean, right?), but there is absolutely no negative effects like was shown in the trailers. Ok, I agree the ghost can't die, but it should also be blown by this "overcharge" o something like that.
Than I've tried "normal" sim. At first I tried to play "normally" and waited for the death from overcharging or any negative effect to occur. Nothing happened despite spell-meter was always full. So then I've nullified all the perks that could affect it and began to spam spells. NOTHING! I used "rise charge", then spam "hardest" spells and dueling - sim just won't die. I've already reached the 14 point this way, of course the stronger the sim is the lower is the risk, and in the way this sim also got a perk for spellcasting aspiration, but the risk just wasn't there from the beginning! I even made this sim hungry and sleepy - with no effect.
Additional info that maybe important:
1. Both sims (ghost and normal) are pretty "high level", they have high skills in many areas, logic, body, mechanical etc.
2. Both sims have completed at least several aspirations and have perks from them.
3. Both sims have many additional perks bought for aspiration points.
Could anyone with this issue possibly share a save file, to help us investigate? Thanks for the help!
Edit: This issue actually sounds like it might be by design. If a Sim has the Carefree trait and is protected from Tense moodlets, then how it's working makes sense. There was potentially an oversight here, but yeah, it's working as expected currently.
