So now a random townie is the sage of practical magic. I don't think this thing should be able to happen, the sages shouldn't be able to get townie jobs, or any jobs at all if not moved into a household.

Random non Spellcaster Sims no longer will show up as being Sages.○ Impostors have been dealt with. Thank you for your cooperation.○ That’s probably who I was playing chess against. Fixed in Patch 1.59.73 Don't know if this fixes already affected sages.

I hate this and can't really find a fix for Sages becoming other NPCs.
As far as randos, you can go into Manage Households, delete that Sim and the original Sage should return to their actual duties.

Sounds to me that it's one of those cases where the game crowbars a Sim into certain roles like that, regardless of their job. ._.

In my game, all 3 sages stepped down and 3 new sages are generated. They still don't have separate job but they stepped down when I set them as global superstars,I didn't play them at all. Just edited Morgyn's face in CAS, and then 3 of the premade sages became my club members as global superstars. They are still set to unplayed sims but now they're not sages any more.

Instead of seeing the same sims as sages in the Magic HQ every time you visit, Its different randomly generated sims. since you have to be friends to have the sages teach you this is a very annoying feature!

@Andrea058523 do they still appear in Manage Households, or were they deleted by the game through automatic culling?

I haven't seen this happen in my game, but I always move all important characters, like the sages, Father Winter, Romance Guru, etc to the My Households tab where they are protected.

I seem to recall in the Sims team live stream about the pack they said that occasionally the sages will be replaced if the original sage is indisposed, even if it's temporarily (they mentioned this when they used the morphiate spell on Morgyn in the stream). I know I just visited Magic Headquarters with my sims and there was a temporary replacement for Morgyn. I could tell Morgyn was still around in the world as my sim had the option to reconcile differences between another sim and Morgyn. I have not tried to play with Morgyn, so he wasn't missing due to anything I had done with him.🙂 I did check and he's still showing as Not in the World. I use no mods/cc, have all the packs and am on the most recent version of the game (PC 1.55.108.1020)
Best regards,

yes they are still in the households tab, in fact Morgyn is at HQ, just not as a sage. I havent played any of the sage households.

@Andrea058523 There's an issue with the sages being forced into other roles and then loosing their status.

Could that be what happened ?

Here's the thread for that: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/NEEDS-INPUT-ROM-Sage-Became-Barista-and-Random-Townie-Became/td-p/8199324
