hi I bought ROM a few months ago when it was on sale and really thought I would enjoy the magical aspects of it but I just dont get it - It seems like learning to be a witch/wizard will take weeks of IRL time to train and then learn all the spells - and I'm not a very patient person and would get really bored just having my sim read a book for hours on end (like the vampires had to do to progress) Also it says on the blurb that they get a magical pet thing but I have created a witch in CAS and not had a pet attached to it? I know a sim can either Start out as a normal sim and ask a sage at the magic hq to start them off as magical or Make them magical in CASI have read the instructions and help guides and it just seems that making a magical person and training them up will take sooooo long and I will get bored to bits I just know it - is there any cheats (not mods as I dont use them) to hurry this up? And where do the little pet things come from? I would really appreciate any help as I am befuddled and bamboozled by this pack and I love the countryside and the magical bit is nice, the gameplay has eluded me so far and I would love to know what Ive got to do Thank you

The familiars can be found in the realm of magic. Either through the one store that sells them, or else there are some scattered about the Magic HQ. They look like colored crystal balls.You can also have your spellcaster Practice Magic (it's an interaction) which will increase their caster points and potentially have them discover spells - all but the top three spells can be learned this way. The sages can also teach spells and potions.If you focus on spellcasting, you can actually get them from start to Virtuoso within a few sim weeks, even as little as one if you use magic rather than cooking and don't have a job.

I’m not much help with cheats on this, but I can say I didn’t find it all that difficult to advance with magic. If you spend time in the magic area you can learn a lot from the sages, especially if you duel for knowledge. The pet familiars can be won in duels, or purchased from the little stalls in the market area of the magic realm. If you have the pets EP, you can also make your pet become a familiar.

@foxybilly, You don’t need books to level up as a Spellcaster. Like others mentioned in this thread, you can go to the magic realm and keep it all practical. Leveling up goes pretty fast if you take the effort to interact with other spellcasters or practice yourself. Boost your relationship with the Mages and they’re much more keen to share their knowledge with your sim. Or get yourself a cauldron and start experimenting. Indeed, it will all take some effort, but it shouldn’t take long. If that’s too much work, there are console cheats (no mods needed) that you can use to get your sim to the level you want them to be. Below is a link with those specific cheats:https://sims-online.com/sims-4-realm-of-magic-cheats-spellcaster-witch/Good Luck and I hope you can enjoy the ROM gameplay.

It actually only took my Sim a simweek to learn all the spells and potions and a second one to become a master spellcaster.

You can get the familiars by buying them from the stores in the magical realm. Once you bought the familiars, the familiar should appear in your sim's inventory. Once it's in your sim's inventory, just click on your sim and you should get the option to bind the familiar to your sim. ( I'm not sure if that's exactly what the option is called).By the way, the stuff available to buy from the magic stores changes from time to time, so you should check out the store from time to time to see if you can get some new stuff ( like new brooms and new familiars)Hope that this is helpful :smile:

Thank you all for your replies - its just that I have a medical condition that causes brain fog and I can forget what I've done and try to get things done in one save so im ready to play next time I go in to that save - its not that I'm anxious about getting bored so much - its just that I won't remember what ive done and how to pick it up again which would leave me bored! All the other packs I have I love (I haven't got EL yet as I dont like the sound of the NAP's and being a control freak I would want to suspend them!!) Thank you again you've really helped me be more confident about playing a magical sim :smiley:

In the bottom left corner of the talent tree tab is a spell book too. You can click that and see what spells and potions you've learned vs the ones you haven't yet. It's helpful for checking if you do forget between gaming sessions. :)

FYI There is a familiar downstairs, you just have to put it in your inventory. I have also gotten one in the mail a day or 2 after visiting the realm. I'm not sure if it is the visit or requesting a glimmer stick that triggers this.

It's hitting level 3 (adept?) in Spellcaster Experience, which you can do within a day if you time it right and do a lot of practicing and spellcasting.

Thank you for your help - my witch Lissa Day is now a fully fledged fully trained witch, and it was so easy thanks to all the help I got! And by befriending Simeon and flirting with him (honestly I have full autonomy but those two ...phew I had to just stand back and let them get on with it!!) their romance bars filled up soo quickly and then they were a couple, he follows her round all the time, I have never known a sim be so devoted to the other! Its very sweet.
