RoM General conversation

I just realized something... I'm casting magic left and right and muggles don't give a hoot.

I'm really loving this pack so far, but one thing is kind of bothering me and it's not the game itself (for a change lol). All over I'm seeing people complaining that it's "too easy" to level up their spellcasters and how they've done it in like an hour of real-time. Where for me, I've only just gotten my spellcaster to master rank over the course of three days. Am I doing something wrong? lol

I've noticed that they react, but don't get any buffs. Unless they're near an overcharged spellcaster and then they get a tense moodlet.

Don't worry, I'm the same, I think my sim got Adept rank, then I had to restart for another reason, now he is back up to Adept, that's as far as I've got lol and I've hardly been off game myself!

I’m enjoying so much about this pack. To be able to do all this little stuff with magic, to see them progress in their abilities with the changes to their animations- gah.

So many fun little details went into this and I love it. Right now I’m trying to do it with a 100 baby challenge so we shall see how that goes, but meanwhile it’s a hoot and a half to see my sim who needs to romance all the eligible men get cursed with repulisfy and have to time her seductions between the debuff. ?

Yeah, I'm not sure how they're doing it either. It took me about 4 Sim-weeks to get Rosemary to Virtuoso. That was 2 days real time, but I had time to binge.

Granted, I didn't use the gardening spell much, because I want her to actually level up in gardening. Same with cooking - I only use Delicioso when she's out and about and hungry but that's the only need that's low (I see no reason to use the needs potion if it's only one or two things.) Scruberoo and Repario I use a lot, though.

And that was playing her solo and cheating money to redecorate the house and cover bills.

It's boggling my mind a little there, unless they're outright cheating, or just plain binging I'm not getting it. The only other thing I can think of is that all the people commenting "It's too easy" are stuck in an echo chamber from either a random comment or a reviewer.

It took me at least 10-16 hours of gameplay to get mine to Virtuoso level @hallowchild. I didn't have great traits (just always friendly). I didn't use too many need potions although I did now and then.. mostly as I saw the end in sight lol. I sent my sim home to tend her garden and drop off bought/read tomes. I think you can learn it all by yourself or through the sages though.. I just didn't want to wait and besides reading the tomes looks darned good at a certain level. I sent my sim to festivals and did other gameplay now and then although she doesn't have a job, job.
I feel like I was still grinding way more than I normally would but since it was all new it didn't feel like a grind.
It's not a race. I plan on doing it even slower on the next spellcasters I make. Not to mention just living the lives of the top level casters as normal.
@RobinGreenthumb can you scrubaroo the kids? .. I'm thinking this could be fun for once. Then you can zap up a meal for them? I'm thinking of doing a black widow again with a spellcaster, love potion them up then have a baby with each to seal the deal before they meet with an untimely death, hehe.

@Hermitgirl just had my first turn into a toddler last night before I slept, so not 100% but I’m pretty sure you can! Between being able to clean the kids with a wave of the hand and being able to make massive vats of Mac and cheese to feed them-

I’m thinking this might be the challenge on easy mode once I get the curses removed. Because the Allure potion really helps, and between that and when I learn the silver tongue? Potion Ima be able to blast through suitors.

So I would say your plan is very doable ??

Anyone who says magic is easy and boring is obviously not into mages cuz it takes forever to rank up.
