Magic Realm pack if not into magic?

You mostly asked about gameplay stuff, but I do want to add that if you're mainly interested in more lots, Glimmerbrook only has five lots, so it's a pretty small world.

If you like a Victorian and Art Nouveau style then yes this pack has what you want. I use the BB/CAS items often. As far as lots there's only five of them. Then the lot in the magic realm.

I personally love the magic and my sims being spellcasters but I dont know of any realism gameplay with this pack. You can brew potions and i dont think you have to be a spellcaster to do that. However, since you're not interested in that part but you have all world packs except this one then I'd recommend getting it while it's on sale. Otherwise if that's not your style and you dont have all the world packs I'd go for a different pack.

Edited... I just went through comments and saw your reply on the worlds. I don't own HSY yet as I'm waiting for a better sale but it would have the most realism as far as worlds go. Otherwise I'd recommend Moonwood Hills. The only thing about it is there are a lot of werewolves walking around so might interfere with your realistic gameplay. But the world and items in it won't. I'm actually not a fan of the Glimmerbrook world. It is the least world I go to other than to get my sims to the portal to become spellcasters. But all the world's in this game are spectacular and beautiful.

Thanks for all good input!

Yes, Copperdale seems like a bigger world, but I don't want the gameplay there either, as I already have my own high school system. For Moonwood Hill I would not mind werewolves, as I don't really mind magicians either, but it just gets too much having all vampires, magicians and werevolves in a game that mainly is realistic. I already got vampires and I love that pack.

Seeing there are only 5 small lots in Gimmerbrook I might hold back a while to see if there will be announced a new pack with a world soon. If I like that pack's content, it might be a better option for me right now.

Gameplay is just magic as far as I know, mixing realistic and RoM furniture doesn't look too off, especially if you have sims that are interested in gardening or writing.

You can probably make some realistic sims with CAS, clothes are a good mix of dark clothes, historical clothes and some fantasy themed clothes.

The world is an odd one, it's small, it has a lot of roads with large parking areas (when they released the world I thought that we were going to get a car update) and the bar in the world is programmed so only spellcasters will visit it.

Agree with most of this but have seen sims that I know are not spellcasters walk into the place. My played installation does not go beyond DU, so maybe whatever causes the limitation doesn't exist in my games.

As for the pack itself, I use the CAS and BB a lot, even for non spellcaster households, same goes for the world. It has a nice out in the woods kind of feel. Sort of like Granite Falls but you can live there.
