I hate that my countdown will be longer than this because I'm so stoked for the pack.

As for the perks and ranks, I wonder if it'll be a case (with the Sages) similar to the fame perks, where the Virtuoso rank will be one side of the perks tree & only on that side will you get the perk of being taught by the Sages? Like you only get the celebrity treatment if you choose perks on that side of the tree.

I think, but I don't know of course, that every type will be able to reach the virtuoso level. Kind of like all vampires can become master vampires. But it does sound like you're "picking" a type of magic from these descriptions (which I'd love actually), so I'm not 100% sure how that system would work. I don't think it'll be the perks/quirks we got for fame though. More like the powers/weaknesses vampires have.

ETA: also, sorry about your bills :/

Sudden regret about not having the Vampires pack (it's not high on my wishlist) but I'm gonna go look at how it works just so I have a better idea. Makes sense that it'd be closer to that though, being an Occult pack and all :D

(and eh, real life isn't fun. them's the breaks, sadly. it just extra plum timing-wise this time)

Honestly, I don't use it a ton :D I'm not strictly speaking an occult player, I just LOVE magic & witches in my games. Just so I can live out my wild fantasies of being one of the charmed ones or a muggle selected to go to Hogwarts :sweat_smile:

I guess there are similarities though, between the two systems, it's just that weaknesses, for example, aren't assigned randomly, allowing you to more freely create the type of vampire you want to have. Fame quirks, on the other hand, are given based on things your sim does, and while I love GF, this - for me - is one of its weaker aspects. But given the descriptions, it seems like in RoM you can select a certain witchcraft "path", if that makes sense, which wouldn't be exactly as Vampires, so I'm confused. Glad we'll know more soon.

And by the gods am I jealous of those game changers who are probably basking in the glory of the magic realm as we speak :'(
