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...

Update (ish) on my experiments with Spellcaster townies.
After two more trips into the Magical realm - it still looks to be about 60% pre-designated spellcasters and 40% drawn from existing sim pool. On the second trip, I thought maybe it wasn't drawing any more than it already had (all of the names of sims without bright pink hair looked familiar, like I'd moused over them before) but there were two or three new ones when I went in on the third trip.
My next step is going to be to edit any seemingly random spellcater in the magic realm in CAS to have solid pink hair (or at least as solid as whatever their hairstyle allows), but I'm going to need a day when 1) I don't have other plans for my sims (which will require about 2 sim weeks, or about 2 - 3 days of play) and 2) I can start it early, as this is not a small save file and it takes it's sweet time with the loading screen, and the longer I play, the longer it takes. But this should help me find them in household management and also track if there are new sims pulled or created. Of my npc's only the Sages, the Charm household, the Amicable Acolytes (which MCCC has split) and the family I added for story will keep their designated hair colors.
(I ultimately decided to use the pink because I'm not a fan of the color and have yet to make a sim who would have pink hair, and as far as I can tell, randomly generated sims have "normal" hair colors.)
