Regular townies turning into spellcasters?

Still super excited for the pack though!

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

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..

The game will make other spellcasters for your sim to interact with if you go to the magic realm. Since there is a big community of sims there it makes sense. It would have to delete them when you left if you do not want spellcasters in your save.

Hmm... think I will make my own spellcasters in a different save and just port those households into my save that I play now. I want expand the magical bit slowly in this story so no realm-visiting for my main sims right now. Looking forward to having a save with lots of spellcasters.

Personally I don't care given the fact I want casters EVERYWHERE stupid no lot trait with this pack...

And that's why we don't have the alien invasions like we should and what we paid for. And why vampires were toned down. And why witches will be too.

They complained that the in game dynamics were not "fun" for their happy, happy, joy, joy white picket fence sim-lives. They didn't want garlic on the walls, or satellite dishes on the lawns. And those of us who love the "weird and wonderful world of sim crazy" get screwed so they can play family time with washers and dryers.

Ah well at this occult is the most advanced one we've had so least they have more to do then vampires (in fact vampires only have a skill tree for their powers while Casters have two 'skill trees')

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

I want to use it just I don't want to ruin my other realistic play, it's pretty simple..the magic should stay in the magic world..I dont want spellcasters in my realistic saves wondering around everywhere..I like both realistic and fantasy..but I don't like them to be mixed..simple.

Then don't buy it..?

Funny, because even without doing anything not even touching the logic skill or being a scientist I get abducted, where GTW where actually isnt even a "fantasy" type of pack and people bought it for active jobs, everyone got forced to be abducted whether you like it or not..and people who play realistic had to use mods to stop that..
I never touch vampires or read about information on them on the computer yet everyday I found them knocking on my family play doors..and even get bitten when sleeping even when not interacting with them at all..

Why I got vampires? Because I love vampires but I want them to be more active when I interact with them or search for them on the PC..not appearing everyday on my door and biting me in my sleep when u live far in the island and have nothing to do with them..

There are tons of way to increase your chance of abductions like being a scientist or collecting rocks..logic skill, but some people too lazy to search and want their gameplay to be forced on everyone..

I really hate the don't buy it arguement. I want spellcasters and will probably play them until my fingers are sore but I do also want realistic play at times and saves where this stuff isn't forced on my sims. If people have concerns about it there is nothing wrong with that. For me it sounds easy. I won't go to the Magic Realm on the saves I don't want excess spell casters in. Also they won't practice outside of the Realm on their own.

On topic... I guess I should make sure that I have "played" all the townie sims I don't want the game to pull from. I'd like to know if just favoriting them will work also...

This. I will again pay $20.00 for a pack and have $10.00 worth of features stripped out because a bunch of people buy it as a stuff pack and only want the BB and CAS. Features. The way I figure it, EA owes me money for nerfing the aliens, vampires, and weather related deaths I plunked down my money for that they later came in and extinguish it. It’s almost like running a bait and switch which technically is illegal. If people are going to pay for a pack knowing the features it contains and then gripe about not wanting those exact same features then they should have to turn to modders to tone down or eliminate them and stop having them snatched out of the games belonging to those of us who paid for them and enjoyed them.

The way I understand this is in the Magic Realm you may see Bob Pancakes or some other pre-made autonomously practice magic, but in the other worlds outside of the realm you won’t am I correct?

So for example he might be spell casting his little heart out in the realm, then you see him 2 minutes later in WC and he’s just plain old mild mannered, hen pecked, gloomy Bob. Is that correct?
