[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?

  • @Simmingal Your castle is beautiful, I hope you get a lot of use of it. As I don't own Realm of Magic I have no idea about what you might put in your empty rooms, but as a Harry Potter fan, I'm going with what is in Hogwarts. Potions you seem to have covered with the cauldrons, library as well, observatory (astronomy tower), seans table seems like divination. That leaves duelling room (defence against the dark arts), care of magical creatures (so animals of some sort? A room for their black cats? Perhaps Llamas are magical?) Greenhouses for plants and ingredients. Something akin to classrooms though I'm not sure that is necessary in realm of magic. As I said I'm guessing LOL

    But nevertheless, beautiful!

    How do you edit the magic realm?


    Use the bb.enablefreebuild cheat to put a different build on the lot. Keep in mind that you can’t change the lot type. It will stay the special Magic Realm lot.

    Oh great ideas
    Cornelia went back and planted plants that may be needed for potions,
    few plants from Forgotten Hollow and few that may be used for herbalism
    I was going to add mushrooms from CoL but I chose against cause the plants actually fit rather snug when i removed those

    she then realized the plants would probably get perfect light in the small empty rooms of observatory so that is where they now may grow

    the middle ones are all trees needed for potions so it should become quite green there eventually but for now yeah :lol:

    also might actually add flower arranging table in front of the stairs down there now that I look at this
    https://i.imgur.com/a1UedRh.png
    and grill for herbalism on other side yeah

    I also added little familiar park where familiar animals may hangout while in realm

    now its just these 2 big rooms left
    https://i.imgur.com/O8LiN8E.png
    I think I will consider adding some type of classroom for one of them cause indeed that could be useful
    I think I won't add duelling to palace cause sims will probably never use the right place for it anyway :lol:
    I'll just try to redirect them to the duelling grounds away from palace or the town when I have my sims duel
  • Okay so I went back in and now we have classroom also
    unsure what I could add for decor but it is like this for now
    I do like how the room shape kinda just naturally works
    (well aside from the door that is driving me crazy not being centered
    but also now that I think of it I don't recall classroom doors ever being centered for some reason)

    Also don't forget to pet Planty on your way out kids!

  • One of my favorite builds so far! Its basically finished(?) but every so often I come back to touch up certain areas and add new things as I get new packs. There's some interesting stuff in the werewolf pack that Im adding to the HQ.

    Forgive me for being stoopid, but are you all using a mod to be able to edit the Magic Realm--and if so, which one--or is the ability to edit the Magic Realm unlockable with cheats?

    after posting I realized that @CAPTAIN_NXR7 probably has some kickbottom build i could use

    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 :lol:

    also fits that lot so well

    now if only i could figure out way to add ground floor :lol:


    @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 be able to 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've been wanting to replace that building since day one.
    I wanted to make an area for each Sage, but I don't think there is any way to make a sage stay in their area.

    It might be better to create a shared Sage space.
    As much as I love Realm of Magic, I have hardly played it.
    I spend too much time on set up and sampling new packs.
  • I'm not a builder, so I downloaded this from a gallery. Flom Lilsimsie to be exact. And I love it!
