Regular townies turning into spellcasters?

Gurus have coded it so that any played sims, or sims you have a relationship with will be excluded, but sims you haven't interacted with (and don't play) are available for the spellcaster role - like other NPC job roles.

Most people are likely testing out the pack in fresh saves, so they wouldn't have played anyone else in the save.

This is a big deal for me, I don't want to ruin my normal realistic saves, I'm glad I didn't buy the pack yet..
I thought they only practise magic in the magic world?!

Sims will never use magic outside of the Realm or you bug them to that's it.

From what I’ve heard they do only practice magic in the magic realm but it still gives them the occult status ?

They only autonomously practice magic in the Magic Realm. Extra spellacasters aren't needed until you go there, so just don't visit and your save will be fine.

There will be premades in the world though, and these will likely regenerate as randoms if you delete them.

That's extremely useful info. Especially for me as someone who has a very long running save full of my sims and their relationships. As always, I want to pick who is a spellcaster. Just like I want to pick who gets with who, who has kids, etc. And that's why story progression will not work in 4.

I think they are doing what they can, but I am glad they are protecting players like me who build that entire community and rebuild the entire worlds.

What the point of owning the pack if I never visit? I just want the magic to stay there and not spellcasters appear in other worlds?

And where these premades you talking about? In other normal worlds? Or in magic realms? I don't want spellcasters townies to spawn in other worlds and see them walking around, in the magic world its fine of course..

Why would you buy the pack if you don't intend to use it?

@fullspiral People are... Odd and want the pack for build mode content and whine about fantasy plaguing them when they bought a fantasy dlc

I love magical and fantasy content myself! I just am a little uneasy with pre made townies from base game and other packs being spell casters without my intervention. I guess i thought it’d be like vampires where only some randomly generated sims would have the occult type.
