Realm of Magic Official Countdown Thead (Release Day Now Available)!!!!!

Well, I guess it’ll fill in time until Planet Zoo. I can’t wait until September 24th!!!!

Can't wait! I've put off buying 'Island living' and 'Moschino' so that I can buy them in a bundle with 'realm of magic' :D it'll be a lot of new content to explore :)

So what I can gather.

To alleviate arguments and debates, the Sims Team has decided to call this life state Spellcaster thus a gender-neutral word for the lifestate.

I've got house-moving dread, now. I know I'll want to move my main generational save to Glimmerbrook, as long as it gets decent snow, and their collections are such a pain to move.

Hurry up!

I hope it's okay if I contribute a song.

I think its kind of odd they called them spell caster instead of witch and wizard or sorcerer

Easy to be generic with Spellcaster and not have argument of gender pronouns as a spellcaster. Spellcastress just sounds... Not right.

Also I am stoked for magic and being a mage not gonna lie. But I'm excited to see the new BM items that are practical and not decor.

It's more that Spellcaster is a broad term that encompasses all types of magic users. It's more flexible for the player to decide if they are playing a Witch, Wizard, Mage, Druid, Voodoo Mambo or Houngan, Sorcerer, etc. As we can see from the trailer, this pack embraces more than just Witches, yet includes enough features to still be able to play them that way.

Also, Witch is already a gender neutral term. Not everyone realizes this because of the way it's used in story book fantasy tales, but in the days of the Salem Witch trials, there were males accused of being witches. Modern day pagan practitioners of the Craft also have both male and female Witches. It's a real religion that has existed for a long time. ☺️

I'm aware and personally use Witch to refer to either gender but just stating my opinion on why. It's still a hot topic to debate gender pronouns on witchcraft. But let's not get into that

Agreed.

Instead, I'll just profess that I was one of the people who requested the change myself and it was discussed in the Ideas forum back in 2017. A lot of people wanted something more expansive and it looks like we got it, which is awesome. The developers definitely do pay attention. <3
