Is anyone else kinda annoyed when they see this CAS animation??!

That is a mean tease really, isn't it.

Yes it is. And I just don't really get the point. It's almost like the people who made the CAS animations thought - like most of us - that spellcaster abilities for kids are such a great idea, including them would be a no-brainer :joy:

I mean, kids don't do any vampire or mermaid animations in CAS right?

I'm annoyed by the animations in cas in general, because it's annoying having my sims flail about like they're having a seizure while I'm trying to create them, but yes, this made me annoyed too.

Yeah I get that. The funny thing is - kids seem to do the spellcaster animation 2x more frequently than adults :joy: so not only are they not able to do this in-game, it's also just super annoying to edit them in CAS cause they're barely standing still. It's brilliant, really.

They can do the vampire one, but I don't have any mermaid children so I'm not sure on the mermaid animations

Ah yes now that you mention it, indeed they can. It just never annoyed me as much I guess xD maybe I can understand the idea of children not being "undead" better than kids not being magical ?

Agreed. It shows they could have gave kids some magic but didn't out of sheer laziness

That's just mean.
Would it kill someone to make occult kids actually interesting to play?

Aw, that's just mean. I'm not a huge family player, but when it comes to Occults, I'd like to have them included with children. I can understand leaving out toddlers, but children should have some access to powers, even if it was just a couple of simple spells or cantrips.

It’s hard to explain. I wish children could do magic, I think lucky number 7 is the right age for children that their powers start developing.

And it would make parenting a lot more harder, especially in my household when the mother is a spellcaster with an ancient bloodline, and the father is human. They have two spell caster children, myself and my sister, with the Ancient bloodline trait. And things get pretty chaotic around the house with their powerful children especially when their kids get into fights. Luckily our grandparents our very powerful Sorcerers.

I also wish parents can use magic to discipline their kids. I said it before but I can totally see my sim mother turning her kids into inanimate objects to put them on time out.
