Regular townies turning into spellcasters?
I was watching the Sims Community YouTube livestream of RoM and it looks like it’s turning normal sims into spellcasters. Anyone have any further information on this? I just don’t want people accident...

I haven't got the pack yet, but from what I understand, the townies only appear to do magic in the magic realm; and secondly, townies/npcs your sims have a relationship will not become spellcasters.
I can see they made it this way because it would be odd to go to the magic realm and have nobody else there doing magic - it would be a ghost town, not a spellcaster town. So instead of generating new sims for this, and increasing the population (which apparently can be an issue after a long time), they pull from the pool of "unplayed/uninteracted with" existing sims.
This makes sense, except most people have a preset story/idea in their mind about the premades, so having Bob Pancakes or Nancy Landgraab become a sorcerer seems off. (Not to me personally, but it sounds like this is the main issue to other people?).
One possible way around it might be to simply "favorite" all of the premades you want exempt from spellcaster status. Again, I don't have the pack yet, but maybe this would work?
