Ideas for using RoM for realistic or subtle magical gameplay?

I built a haunted house for Glimmerbrook. I'm imagining a scenario where a Sim breaks down on their way to Granite Falls from Windenburg. (I see Glimmerbrook up in that area on the "whole world map".

So they break down outside and need to get out of the cold. They enter the house....bad vibes man. Something very strange happened here....and what's with that turret room off the main bedroom with all the scratches on the wall? Was something locked in there? What happened here?

Not sure how it's going to go yet. I'll add a few "finds" for the story of whichever sim breaks down to figure out.

Maybe "Pet Semetary-ish" with a familiar gone wrong being locked up. I'll figure it out. lol

However which way it goes, it will lead that sim down the path of spell-casting and the secret world.

We have the same kind of game play. =)

Izzy Fabulous in my latest save didn't have a home yet...so I moved him into Glimmerbrook. Of course, he explored the vacant lot, and was astonished to find that what he thought was a mirror....wasn't in fact a mirror, but a portal. So he stepped into this magic mirror thingy...and ended up in the Realm of Magic. He now is a celebrity spellcaster. So far however, he doesn't know enough people well enough to both maintain his celebrity status and learn new spells...so he really only knows the mac and cheese potion so far.
