Magic Tome Reading Animation

The animation for reading tomes as a spell caster is really cool. It basically makes you levitate a book and flip the pages using magic instead of just holding it like a normal sim. But its only for the new tomes and once you finish all the spells you never see it anymore. I don't know if this is a big enough deal to make a post out of but I really wish they (the gurus) added it to normal books or at least allowed us to restudy old tomes for additional XP (gurus pls). In my spellcaster saves books are the go to for entertainment so I really just wanna see them hovering books everywhere.

Anyone else feel this way or am I just crazy (or both)?

P.S the new tomes themselves also look very cool its also a shame we don't get to use them more than once.

    There are tomes for spellcasters that increase their xp (found them in debug stuff). One is for low level spellcasters, the other is for high level spellcasters.

    Perfect just what I was looking for actually. Its nice that its re-usable so any time I wanna read a book I can just use that and get my flashy animations. Nice find thank for you sharing its exactly what I wanted.

    I can confirm that these tomes can be found with the "search for tomes" interaction. Two of my spell caster sims (in different households) have found them at Magic HQ. I haven't seen them at Caster's Alley, but I'm sure it's possible there too, just totally random.

    I wish I could choose, when to and when not to use that animation, like using magic to speed read and learn spells faster Sort of a thing.
    even using they're powers to stir the cauldron vs stirring by hand.

    Like if I was in a rush to make a potion or to study a spell so I can defeat someone, I'd have my sims use magic to do it, but if it's nothing too urgent why waste your energy.

    Some of my sims are also more liberal with their magic and use it to their advantage, and at their disposal, while others are more conservative, they use it when it matters. but both use it with instinct, they won't even know they used magic to do a thing.

    If you use the Cheat, bb.showhiddenobjects, there are not only all wands, spell tomes, potion tomes, etc. available, but also two special tomes I have never found on a shelf or seen for sale: Tome For Low-Level Spellcasters, and Tome For High-Level Spellcasters. These can be studied for magical skill-gain, just like spell books, but never expire.

    The levitating tome happens only once a Spellcaster has reached Adept rank. Acolytes and below hold tomes and turn pages like any Sim. ;)


    I'll have to look for those hidden books - I love the animation, too. And that explains why one of my Sims was doing the animation and the other wasn't.

    Yes!

    I really really like this animation a lot. Would very much like to be able to re-read the tomes in order to see that one again.
