Realm of Magic story not working.

I guess I need assistance.

Just tried out Realm of Magic and didn't get very far.  Talked to one of the three patrons. Forget what they're called. Got the task to get the 7 motes. Went back and turned it in, nothing.

Went out and got 7 more, turned them in to a different person. Nothing.

Am I doing something wrong?

"Realm of Magic" is supposed to have... you know... Magic?

I'd hate to have spent this money on what's basically only a Stuff pack.  It DOES contain two entire cities. I suppose I can trash all the "magic" stores and make my own mini-mall...

  • @jpkarlsen Looks like it was a broken install. Not sure what happened, I've never had that happen before. I removed and re-installed Magic and it's working fine now. Dunno. It still has bugs, but those are just the usual broken things in the game.

    @BaeSheep, it is best to do all of these steps in this order:

    1) Move the mods folder to your Desktop

    2) Delete the localthumbcache.package file in the Game Folder

    3) Fix your game in Origin by logging into Origin and go to your Library and Right-click on The Sims 4 and choose the option to "Repair Game".  Wait for Origin to fix all your pack and not just the base game.

    4), Now, when you turn on your game again it will create a new, empty mods folder.  Check to see if your game is now working without your mods/CC.

    5) If you game is now working then you need to find the outdated Mod or item of CC.  It is possible that more than one will be outdated. To find the culprit(s), you will need to add all your Mods and CC back one at a time while checking your game to see when the problem shows up again. (If you have a lot of CC/Mods you might have to do the 50/50 Method).  When you find the broken Mods/CC you need to check back with the creator to see if and when they have a new version available that will work with the changes that EA made to the game with the patch and the new pack.

    You will probably have to do this any time EA releases an update.  It is the responsibility of the Mods/CC makers to update their items, and it is the responsibility of the people who use those items to keep up with the newest versions.   

    If the above doesn't work, you can try to re-install Realm of Magic.  It worked for @Psychotps ! :eahigh_file:  But since you play with Mods/CC I would do steps 1 - 5 first! 🤨  Please update us on your results!😇

    @BaeSheep, just keep in mind for the future that anytime EA issues an update to the game, there is a good chance some of your mods/CC will need to be updated as well, so keep in mind for next time all of the steps listed above!  😉  

    I'm very happy you got your game working! :eahigh_file:  Happy Simming! 🥳
