With a title like "Realm Of Magic", this upcoming game pack leads me to believe there will definitely be a new world included. I'd like to share what I'd like to see and start a discussion about what this world might look like. For starters, 'realm' immediately makes me think medieval fantasy. I'd like to see a European styled world with a sprinkling of fantastical elements. I'm picturing at least two neighborhoods (would like three but not holding my breath) with three to five lots in each.The first neighborhood would be a village nestled on the side of a mountain with a lot at the very top to build a castle. There would be a town square here where you can trade for magical ingredients. It would be awesome if it were next to a mountain lake (preferably swimable for any visiting mermaids).https://i.imgur.com/qalEYUc.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/wM1k4Ef.jpgThe other neighborhood would be located in a magical forest where at night you can see fairy lights dancing in the distance. All the lots would be spread out to give a sense of isolation. In between you could wander the wood in search of ingredients you can trade or use in potions. There could also be a lake or swamp in this neighborhood with a single lot located on the water like in Island Living, but this isn't essential.https://i.imgur.com/zH84aWV.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/tEEn8li.jpgAs for the architecture, I'm thinking a lot of stone and weathered woods. Another thatch roof like the one we got is Island Living only more weather worn would also be nice. I want to be able to live in everything from a fairy cottage to a dilapidated shack.https://i.imgur.com/ii9dsOH.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/W9piVF2.jpgIf done this way we could have that old time magic feel without it feeling out of place next to the other worlds. I could also see it being based on Ireland or Scotland for more of a druidic feel.Feel free to share your thoughts and ideas.

Maybe even some magical animals.

I'd die for some medieval content in Sims 4. That's my jam, and an older theme would spice up my political power game stories. But any cozy, isolated fantasy setting with an older touch would be a breath of fresh air.I wouldn't write off a modern idea either, though. I would also accept something like Magic Town: a dark, mysterious forest with a creepy carnival. If anyone saw American Horror Story: Freak Show, I'm picturing that sort of atmosphere. Normal sims would come and see a show and think they're witnessing stage magic, but the citizens of the town know what's really going on. I'd honestly prefer an isolated town, though.

I'd definitely love magical castle and European feel! With strange forests and magical creatures ? I cant wait, I love all things magic and witchy so I'm super happy ita in the making!

This is the pack I have been wanting for so long. I truly hope "realm" does indeed mean we have a new town and not just a more ephemeral idea of the spread of magic unrooted in place. I will admit I would like it to have the ability to spread, but also have a home base. As with vampires it would be good to have a centre for the magic, with beings who have always been magical but also with the ability for mortal sims to learn and perhaps even become masters themselves. And of course, I hope it has light and shade, not just bland nothingness. I will admit I hope it is not connected to any popular series of books or films, there is too rich a heritage of magic to confine it to kids go to boarding school. Most people suspect university will be next, and that gives those who would like to play that story the opportunity to do it themselves by combining both packs and saves those of us who don't like it having to do so.

I loveee your ideas, I personally would also want a bazaar where witches and warlocks trade magical ingredients and potions.

I’d love this kind of world! I’d love if they included secret lots that you could travel to like the grotto or the hermit’s home in granite falls. It would really add to the idea of the world being connected to special, secret ‘realms’. Forested areas would be ideal. I’d love to see new herbs and plants that you’d have to forage for in the woods.

what about the world of harry potter pouddlar castle included?

I'm not overly familiar with Harry Potter so I'm not sure what this would look like, but I personally hope they don't lean too heavily on any one fictional story as inspiration. It can make it feel a little too niche.

there was that concept art that i really loved but abandoned during sometime during development of the game and i wish they'd do something with but i think they'll go a different direction with the wording "realm"

but still cool concept art for a witchy-vibe:

I love that last outfit and hair so much! I think they could pull off doing a mix of old and new in CAS like they did with vampires.

I'd love some more Medieval vibes in my game too, not to mention the new lot trait Off The Grid is a perfect fit for a witch's cottage in the woods. I hope they introduce more off the grid gameplay with this pack.

I agree. My hope is that the magic is diversified enough that you can create a wide range of magic users, from spells to nature magic.

Yes! We definitely need a place where witches can meet up, trade and buy things, and maybe even have magical competitions.

I think it's going to be more similar to an updated, alternate version of Magic Town from The SIMS. Since it's a GP I doubt we will have many lots but hopefully more than Forgotten Hollow.

Love the idea of it being quaint Scottish/English/Irish inspired! I’d like to have some non American inspired worlds, that being said a New Orleans type world would also be cool.
