Re: Replacing Realm of Magic Sages

I just tried that and it didn't work. :/ I used cheats and clicked destroy object on L. Gaba and Simeon. Does that not count as deleting them?

I discovered a way of doing this without mods that I thought I would share. I moved all the sims I planned on being sages into one household and played them for a while. When I was ready, I identified the current sages in game (the best way to do this is to make introductions with them in the magic realm,) then return to the home lot and invite the current sage over. I then turned testing cheats on and ran traits.equip_trait trait_MagicSage_(MagicSchoolHere) on the sim I wished to be the sage, right click and "Add Sim to family" on the sage of the same magic school, then immediately go to Manage Worlds. I then split the new sages into their own households not in world, then click the heart to move them to unplayed unfavorited households. I was able to move their pets/familiars into the households with them, but am unsure if they will still summon them. I now have the old sages in the original household, and the new sages in their own separate unplayed households. The next time I went to the Magic Realm the sages I selected were the sages in the magic realm.

This works well, thank you! I must have written one of the codes wrong the first time, but I just repeated the process for one of the sages, then it was all right 🙂 

Just a quick tip to anyone who's planning to do this and uses MCCC and/or other mods that assign jobs to unplayed characters, make sure you flag the sages with 'freeze career' the first time you see them in-game. I added Ethan Reyes from the trailer as the sage of practical magic, it worked swell, and then MCCC made him a fisherman and now I have to repeat the process, woops. 

So, I was trying NOT to replace the Realm of Magic Sages, because my Sim is married to Simeon Silversweater and they have children together and I wanted them to live together without breaking him. My Sim in another save is married to Morgyn and yeah, he "retired" on their wedding day and needed a new career, alas. I looked at the "Magic Sages in Household" mod and, while it looks great, it wasn't exactly what I was looking for.  (I wanted my Sim teen and YA kids to go to the Magic Realm and ask their dad for spells, but also to have him live with us.)

So here's what I did:

1. My Sim gave Simeon a key. He showed up a lot, but it wasn't quite what I was after.

2. I created a club with Simeon and his wife and kids and turned it on and left it on all the time.  Better! although he would still "go home" whenever his needs got low. ☹️

3. I downloaded LittleMsSam's "choose your roommate" mod, bought the bunk bed that's a single bed on top and a full bed on bottom, and chose Simeon to be our roommate. PERFECT. He sleeps either in the single bed on top or the bottom bunk with his wife. (Requires Discover University, and the bed is from Dream Home Decorator.)

Okay, he does throw a lot of "roommate parties," LOL, and engage in other roommate quirks, but it's fine. Also sometimes he starts doing the peepee walk around the house and/or seems tired/hungry/whatever, but we've started feeding him Potion of Plentiful Needs whenever he seems to need it and isn't solving his needs on his own. (Note that I do also have the check for vaild ages for roommate behaviors mod as well.)

So he's there as often as he would be if I played him, has a great relationship with his wife and children., and his family can go to the magic realm without breaking him. I have the kids ask him for help with homework, the toddler kids ask for flash card and bath help, etc. (I asked MC Command Center in the skill cheats section, and apparently he's parenting level 6 from this as an NPC.)

(Offering for those who are trying NOT to break the Sages--you can "put them back" and then live with them as an NPC this way. You could theoretically also create the Sages of your choice, including families and pets, and turn them into roommates/club members with their families.)
