Regular townies turning into spellcasters?

I guess I'm a little confused as to why there is an issue with random townies being generated in the Realm, in which case they are probably practicing magic..but then in the regular world they are just their normal selves. Is it a matter of that they were different for that one moment when you were in the realm and saw them? Shouldn't it be okay that they don't do anything abnormal outside of the Realm, from a RP point of view? Are they actually given Spellcaster status once you see them in the Realm, or are they just randomly there for idk visual effect? I RP as well, and I have 1 save that I have played foreeever, there are a ton of stories in there. And yes, I am one of those who likes to control everything that happens (well most things)..and I still don't quite see the issue with seeing a pre-made practicing magic in the Realm, and then seeing them as their normal selves in another world. But on another note, I haven't gotten this one yet. Can I ask if it's worth it in this thread or is there somewhere else I should go?

They get converted into spellcasters, which is an occult life form. This will take sims you have in your unplayed households and convert them into spellcasters. Some people will not mind it. Other people like myself don't want the game to put my unplayed sims, like my island living sims in situational spellcaster outfits (which looks awful) and also convert them into an occult lifeform. I would have preferred if the game could instead create new ones, like it does with vampires and aliens and have them wear their own outfits. Then I could have edited them and created something like hogwarts in the game.

But now I can't do that. Because sims like Bob Pancakes and Bella Goth are gonna show up in brown leggings with purple shoes and walk around and cast spells.
