@darrenfroggy Thanks for clearing that up for me. :) Perhaps I was simply hoping pre-mades from past packs wouldn't suddenly be granted the ability to roam about The Realm or have magical abilities assigned to them. But I still don't agree it was a wise move.

It would absolutely make sense if it was only Glimmerbrook-specific townies. But I don't know if the mechanic is there to limit them that way.
It's just weird because I'm guessing they won't be Spellcasters if you grab them from the household management :/

You are correct, I went to check on that after seeing Miko from City Living doing magical stuff like there's no tomorrow back in the realm. She is just a regular sim.
I believe it is a decission based on culling and such issues. They decided to have existing sims spawn in the new lots so the game wouldn't create more random sims just to fill up the Realm. But I think it was a wrong call to make.

Apologies, but I think you are mistaken in this.

I saw Raj Rasoya, Travis Scott and Mortimer Goth practising magic in the Magic HQ...

Here they are in CAS, all are now Spellcasters:

I don't know if it makes a difference where they go or what they do within the realm. Maybe they only become Spellcasters if they use magic, but not if they are just exploring/socialising/shopping.

Hmm... I think I read that the game Will not Take sims that are favorited, one of your 200 saved sims, so it doesn’t just take anyone. Personally I will test the realm in a extra save and make townie spellcasters for my main save. Then I can port them over and the game has some sims to draw from when it comes to spellcasters.
