Realm of magic is so far my favorite game pack. For the supernatural packs they really go all out. In my opinion this is just what this game needed to spice things up. And just in time for fall. I just wanted to cheer on the creators to put in this much effort into the next pack because this one is a step above some in my opinion. The last stuff pack was impressive with its new photography career too - for a stuff pack they did a lot. I have to say island living wasnt one of my favorites. It wasn't bad but i felt it lacked gameplay and focused more on the scenery/background. But with realm of magic and the latest stuff pack I know what the creators are capable of. And I just wanted to shout out a great job on this one. I really liked vampires too but this one is even better. Im really hoping the next gamepack incorporates as much fun as this one did. I would be suprised if people don't love this pack.

I agree, though I don't care for witches much I feel like it was pretty good. just feel like it's too easy to progress up the ranks for me. I'd prefer it if it took a while to get to virtouso instead of being able to do it in under an hour without any cheats.

In most cases it's just doing nothing but powering through and ignoring everything else.

It's my top favorite game pack. The fact that my sims can do magic anywhere and not just the magic realm is a plus. I love Glimmerbrook because of its secluded vibe. It was amusing when the game chooses some premades to be spellcasters. Most of the time, those choices are unexpected. The situational outfits still need to be toned down, though. I still wonder why the witchy toddler animation from Sims 3 Supernatural hadn't made a comeback. That aside, the familiars are cool.

I came in with meagre expectations and still was sorely disappointed. With two sims, one with the clumsy trait, I was still able to max out everything in under 2 hours. I wasn’t even grinding either. During this I explored both towns and visited back home regularly to work/earn simoleons and work on my garden. I don’t use cheats for needs or money. Spellcaster lifestate makes everything too easy and baby mode. I can just spawn food and instantly shower now. If I don’t want to do that, it only takes a single apple to create a potion that refills my needs completely. You learn this potion when you become a Spellcaster; so at the first rank. I have no need to learn handiness as I can instantly repair things (another thing I learnt at first rank). It also wasn’t hard or grating to become a Spellcaster in the first place. Collect 7 motes that are all conveniently next to each other and BAM you can cast magic. Nothing brought me back to the shop quarters as I could find familiars in bookshelves for some reason, or challenge townies for artefacts. A lot of the animations/spells/potions are just recycled content and that irritates me a great deal as I feel the developers have run out of ideas. Overall? I greatly regret buying this pack for many reasons and wish I had waited to see reviews or the mods needed to run it properly. The only redeeming feature is the music and some of the clothing items. That’s legitimately it. I’m glad you enjoyed it, but I can’t stress it enough that it is not surprising people hate it.

Realm of magic. Thank you for a great pack.

idk, I managed to get to virtuso in the first hour (or two maybe. I'm pretty sure it was only an hour though.) of playing. then again I did spend most of the time just constantly dueling and casting random spells + I have the trait that makes it so you don't need sleep as much.

It's definitely a great pack, one of the better ones. It shows that they can when they want to. :smile:

I’m enjoying it as well! It’s adding an element of gameplay and storytelling that I’m finding amusing! I’m still rank two lol! I’m not trying to Zerg thru it. I switch between households often. The witch I made was added to an existing family as a long lost aunt. She’s now reunited with her family and just spent winterfest with them. Was a great party with all the grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Tho I felt bad for my sim teen who broke out with acne (I use slice of life and meaningful stories mod). I’m finding the pack very entertaining. So agreed OP! Kudos to the dev team ?
