Someone said that random people can become spell casters.

Playable sims from other households are 'mages' even if they do not have lifestate in magic realm which is rather blatant suspension of disbelief inducing

This only happens when your sim is in the Magic Realm, and you see other sims there. Those sims will be turned into spell casters.

This is the only part if this pack I do not like. They should have made it so only residents of Glimmerbrook would be turned into spell casters.

Some of these townies don’t belong there.

What I wished EA would do regarding this would be to have some kind of options menu to where we can decide on who would be okay for the player to allow to be a spell caster. By having a little box or something that we can click to allow certain households to be spell casters.

Any sim is able to become a spellcaster (except aliens of course because they can't 'cure' their alien nature). But it would be better if we could choose who becomes one. Now the game just turns sims from unplayed households. And while I don't necessarily play my sims neighbours, I don't want them to be spellcasters without me knowing.

When it comes to magic in other worlds, I agree. I was really hoping we would get a lot trait to allow visitors and npc's to do spontaneous magic. I would like to have more than just one magical place in my game.

For a rotational player like me this is a worst case spellcaster scenario :confounded: .
This is the first time ever I decided to install a mod (by Bienchen). Now only unplayed, unhoused Sims are turned into spellcasters.

Seriously, who thought turning housed sims into spellcasters would be a good idea? I read that only Sims my Sims don't know are turned into spellcasters, but with relationship culling and me as a rotational player, this is not helping at all. :(

However, Lilith Pleasant is now a witch. I can live with that and won't change it. ;)

Lilith Pleasant was in a favorited household, but she became a witch anyway. I don't think favoring the household might help.

Of course you can play the sims and ask a sage for the Rite of Dissolution, but that's really annoying. To do so, you have to play several households and every time you enter the Magic Realm someone new might be turned into a spellcaster. Seems like a vicious circle to me, but I think it could be a fun challenge for someone who is up to it. ;)

Happy simming! :)

I do not know what is different about my settings, but I have seen zero premades from my other towns, and zero I-mades from other towns, pulled in to be Spellcasters. The casters in my game are the Glimmerbrook Sims, new premades of the Realm, and playable Sims I take there individually and introduce to magic through the Sages. Then again, I control all aging in my game (aging is off), and do not allow my game to fill empty houses. The absence of witched-up townies may be due to that.

I have the same settings: Aging is off (only the household I am currently playing is aging) and empty lots are not allowed to be filled with sims.

There are certain sims that I created that I don't want to be spellcasters. I haven't yet, but I plan to play those sims (assuming that they will still be SC's when I select their lot) and take them to the Realm and to get spellcastrated. >:)

:D

I've seen the information that if you create about 12 spellcasters and place them somewhere in your world, they will take all the spellcaster's slots in the magic realm and no random people will be turned to spellcasters. It must be done before you visit the magic realm for the first time.
