[Old] Show Me Your Magic Realm Please
I've been trying to build magic realm for ages in million different ways but its not really feeling magical at all :/ therefore I shall ask what you all have in yours? care to share?

- This is not my build. I got it from The Gallery. But I replaced the standard Magic HQ with this cool version. The main building still functions the way it’s supposed to, and the cool tower gives my sim a place to actually stay while in The Realm. It was already pretty livable, and I did a bit of interior renovation to make it a real home away from home. It has no ground floor entrance, so randoms can’t access it. My sim just transportalates in, or you could use a broom.

and indeed he has so I am now modifying
(correction: destroying with my bad minimal tastes)
The Mirage and its hundred times more magical than any build i was making 😆
also fits that lot so well
now if only i could figure out way to add ground floor 😆- Mine isn't looking magical, because it is a space station launched by the MIT.
Exterior:

At the moment only a single room is finished, the wandmaking classroom (for training handyness and the modded enchanting skill):

Next up are the laboratories, but my only alchemist sim has a large lab in his basement already, so I'm not in a hurry to complete this. - Here's a link to mine:

I tried to grab a picture, but tumblr is being annoying and won't let me copy the image link ?
I built a new magic HQ a couple of years ago to be the standard replacement. I do intend to change it though, make it smaller and less symmetrical/more whimsical. "CAPTAIN_NXR7;c-18145441" wrote:
@Simmingal Why thank you!
Note that a ground floor isn't necessary to enter the building. It's a floating palace so your sims should teleport via the portals.
If you want a ground floor regardless, just build a wall underneath the first floor. It'll be automatically converted into a room, aka ground floor. ;)I know its not necessary but something about whole palace unanchored in magic realm gives me welp 😆
I'll mess around and see what I end up with I guess 😅"Simmingal;c-18145446" wrote:

Haha, are you saying my floating palace is giving you vertigo? :D
The magical forces will keep it and your sims in place, do not worry, there shall be no tumbling down into the void!
But if you need steadiness for your own feeling of safety a ground floor is indeed the better option.I decided to keep it floating and just add stairs in the end
(we'll just pretend theres something magical holding it there)
(yes the difference between simmingals ugly tower and captains beautiful palace is perfectly splendid 😆)
now I just need to do interior and try to balance Moroccan and Magic Realm vibes
or otherwise its gonna be Moroccan Realm 😂
also unsure how much i want landscaping
I added the magical bean portal and retired wishing well
(cause i don't have actual wishing well yet and i need to keep space for it) but idk- That tower looks great @Simmingal! It totally suits the aesthetics. Again, I’m going to assume that this is not a floating tower. ?
The stairs to the palace work perfectly well. Don’t worry about all this gravity defying business. That’s the charm of the Magic Realm: Anything is possible! Although I wish more things in RoM were possible gameplay wise but that’s another topic entirely…. "CAPTAIN_NXR7;c-18145925" wrote:

I decided that once upon a time there was more neutral magical castle there
and it was destroyed in occult wars so all that is left of it is the observatory tower that somehow survived
the new palace was then built after the occult wars grander and more magical than ever
and they opted for floating one so it could be easily moved anywhere they want in case of another attack
there was big aesthetic debate but in the end bright n light crowd won over the gothic and dark crowd
and they're still salty so theres bit of conflict there 😆- Destruction so far:SpoilerFront

The top floors sun dial was replaced by seance table
https://i.imgur.com/yxjS15j.png
https://i.imgur.com/F24gw7h.png
which was mighty nice fit if I say so myself
https://i.imgur.com/3n7u6N7.png
the second floor was changed little bit due to the new bigger staircase
https://i.imgur.com/vJG2cNO.png
it just has some mirrors I decided used to be magic mirrors
https://i.imgur.com/GnAqsxs.png
and area to eat something else than mac n cheese while in realm
https://i.imgur.com/xDpirbm.png

don't mind Cornelias foul mood its just that she was really rooting for that goth castle idea
https://i.imgur.com/MaGW3Xf.png
https://i.imgur.com/q4WAfob.png
the first floor
I went with very simplified version because I needed it to be extremely easy to track my sims
https://i.imgur.com/QY8LNNH.png
the entrance was designed as sort of library
this was so sims new to spellcasting wouldn't have to wander far for the tomes
https://i.imgur.com/cgi4ZFX.png
https://i.imgur.com/voKeNcc.png
https://i.imgur.com/VytDG5U.png
ofcouse Cornelia has read all of these books already what is she even wasting time on here eh
https://i.imgur.com/dpFXjun.png
off to the side theres little vampires corner just because idk what I really want to do with these rooms and it seemed nice
https://i.imgur.com/isPewj7.png
the newly spellcaster randomized sims discovered strange trick while i was walking around palace
duelling through walls? and mirrors?
https://i.imgur.com/p0Tejca.png
and bookshelves?

Silversweater: I'd appreciate if you didn't do that,
https://i.imgur.com/7Xx9m3R.png
We just built this palace you know
https://i.imgur.com/r9T2HEa.png
anyway tour continues after library part theres cauldron for use of all spellcasters
https://i.imgur.com/7prGKjM.png
yes this was actually something Cornelia had use for
https://i.imgur.com/02HTwsY.png
she had great time experimenting
https://i.imgur.com/iLq8C80.png
although this bright aesthetic was still not cup of her tea
https://i.imgur.com/03YJ7P1.png
Miverva: Tell me about it huh.
yes Minerva also seemed to not be big fan of the aesthetic choices
https://i.imgur.com/J9CCxbE.png
but kids these days am I right
https://i.imgur.com/iEkj7X4.png
through the doors behind cauldron we arrive at some type of place of worshipping
https://i.imgur.com/GBiXV6b.png
https://i.imgur.com/5TQnYsd.png
for some reason involving meditation, who knows it just felt about right
https://i.imgur.com/PqirUIO.png
I feel like I must improve upon this in some way
but I've run out of ideas what worshipping meditation room would have
I did add some moon prints on empty walls cause why not
https://i.imgur.com/u2HVfXq.png
the little rooms on side of this room are additional exit and alien arrival portal
https://i.imgur.com/xr6kGFH.png
and bathroom because I realized I might need one
- oh sorry I didn't realize it was in use sorry to disturb
https://i.imgur.com/G0wk7oa.png
the big rooms both sides from cauldron are kinda incomplete too cause idk what kind of rooms I want there yet
https://i.imgur.com/4FpkPM4.png
but I added 2 more cauldrons cause I figured one is probably too little
and I thought i might need bar too
https://i.imgur.com/8IGahLs.png
ofcourse all the sims then proceeded to hangout in the incomplete rooms instead of complete ones, right
https://i.imgur.com/zjay17p.png
aaaand thats it, oh wait yes the observatory
has gloomy little room for overnight stay
https://i.imgur.com/fV36V6v.png
and the observatory ofcourse
the floors in between are still empty although taking ideas what I could add there too
https://i.imgur.com/Yzat1dP.png
I wonder if we could find Bella with magical observatory
https://i.imgur.com/usdKMnW.png
yeah probably not what a silly idea
https://i.imgur.com/whAfYer.png
better to just head home
https://i.imgur.com/8Rc2oyR.png
oh and yeah btw thats L.Faba I gave very bright makeover ages ago
https://i.imgur.com/I1ONXnf.png
she seems to suit this venue with her awful sunhat trying to replace witch hat
https://i.imgur.com/WMQ2loj.png
but unfortunately it seems
https://i.imgur.com/4q4H3Ap.png
this is no longer Cornelias Magic Realm
https://i.imgur.com/ANNKkA8.png
and it is time to leave it in the hands of the youth
