Confirmed!- It’s been confirmed via Simarchy’s early access stream that spellcasters will indeed have all of the vampire, mermaid, and even alien it seems CAS assets. These include eyes, all face details including teeth, I assume skintones as well, and yes POINTED EARS! I’m so happy! Lol During the CAS portion of the livestream, they didn’t show off the eye or skin colors of Spellcasters, or any of the face details. I was really hoping they would at least get the same treatment as vampires and merfolk. But, maybe the Gurus just assumed we would know those would be included? I hope... It would be a shame if you couldn’t give your magic user Sims those pretty glowing eyes. And I was so hoping to make some “elves” with magical abilities, but idk if Spellcasters can have pointed ears either. Maybe it’s because they have no second form? Still, if our Spellcasters can only look like normal human Sims, that feels like a huge oversight...

As far as I know, there are no new skin or eye features for spellcasters but that's by design as they are indeed supposed to look like any other regular Sim by design of the theme of the pack. And yes, because they don't have a second form probably.I don't know if I'd call it an oversight though, that implies that they forgot to include them, it's just a direction they chose for the pack.

I tweeted some of the Gurus to ask them about this. I’m still going to enjoy Spellcasters even if they have to look relatively normal. But it would be nice if they could have that extra magical something in their appearance.

They don't have a separate form like the others, so they are basically humans but with special abilities that they learned and have no disguises which makes sense . There is some makeup and all that though.

If you use MCCC to cure a vampire they will retain their vampiric features, I do it a lot to create freaky human sims. Make sure to reset all their powers and weakness before doing so or it can get buggy. Other than that there's no other issues that I know of.

CONFIRMED!- Spellcasters & Special CAS Assets?

One of the perks is permanent Mote Sight which gives eyes a glow effect like the lightning powers.

Just checked and looks like pointed ear tips can be added in detail mode by manipulating the top curve of the ear. This is available on spellcasters, but not on humans.

So you can make elves if you want.

Eyes are all messed up atm. It does show all lifestate eyes available, but clicking on vampire/mersim eyes actually applies one of the human textures. So It's unclear if they'll be available or not.

Steph doesn't use mods lol And I had to request that she show all of that off. Maybe most people are just like "Well, they're an occult, so they have all that occult CAS stuff, so I won't show it all off again, for the fourth time." lol

Ha ha, all the occult bits is what I pay for. Or mod for :)

They also have:

Skintones (human/vampire/red/green/blue, but not the extra alien ones)
Skin details (moles/freckles/acne/wrinkles/occult details/scars/tattoos)
Teeth (human/vampire/mersim)

Almost none of the early access streamers created spellcasters in CAS. Can you imagine that? They were making a review on ROM CAS and didn't even try to create a spellcaster! :/ That's why spellcaster's assets weren't mentioned mostly.

To be honest, I wish they had shown a little less of the new CAS and build/buy items because I like discovering all that stuff for myself. Perhaps I should have turned the stream off halfway through haha. I enjoyed it but it would be great if there are things we don't know yet. Hopefully we can use the vampire and alien skintones and eyes with spellcasters.

Imagine how cool it would be to have a cheat to release those things that are exclusive to the hidden, like eyes and skins. Style the new buydebug cheat.

I currently have to use mods and cp to be able to customize some sims the way I want

Hmm... I need pointy ears!!!

I would really like to play a magical elf ?

there's a multi-part mod that unlocks all the locked cas options. it started just with the career-locked outfits and such but has also added in the things like vampire/alien ears, vampire/alien/mermaid eyes and such for everybody to use, if that portion of the mod is installed/activated.

and, the nice thing about this mod is that since everything is actually in-game content, if you pull the mod out, the stuff stays on the sims just fine (and isn't flagged as cc, though it is flagged as cc if you go to upload sims when it's still in your folder). this is how so many simmers have elves or fairies or playable skeletons or such on the gallery.

i've used it for a handful of my sims, giving aliens mermaid eyes or such, and fully intend to do even more with it for some of my spellcasters, though, oddly, it's mostly going to be the townies that i think get most of that treatment

also, @AquaGamer1212 that is actually a full-face makeup option

I know what it is. I added it because this is the only way you’ll be able to differentiate spellcasters from everyone else if you put this on.
