Magic Realm pack if not into magic?

The world is very nice and the magic portal is far enough that it doesn't interfere visually with regular gameplay. I've had the pack since release and only in the past year or so I've started seeing sims falling off their brooms in the neighbourhoods and realized they must be magical sim, otherwise I didn't see them. And one of my sims has only very recently met Morgyn and befriended him. The magic realm itself is good as a theme park and underworld sort of place and the build and buy stuff is good if you want to play scientist or herbalists sort of sims. The stuff that's strictly for magical use it's mostly hidden in debug, brooms, wands, potions, you need to do magic gameplay to find it or buy it from the magic vendors.
