Lately i have been reading and strongly analizing everything related to RoM. I used to enjoy witches in previous games, but there's something that puts me off in Realm of magic... i don't know exactly what it is, i think that maybe the visual effects, that seem to colorfull and bright and a bit exagerated...After reading and watching a lot of youtube videos i've realized that everyone mentions how the spells and potions are just stuff that already exists in the game... Is this your experience with RoM? Aren't there any spells/powers/potions unique to the pack? And what do you think of the animations?

Hmm...I partially agree as there are spells that summon ghosts and resurrects ghosts. Plus the potion of immortality and potions that immediately make other sims your sim talks to friends, enemies, or lovers.

I think one thing that bothers me about RoM is the potion that fills all the needs only needs 1 apple. It's just a bit game breaking as I mean it's not even a rare ingredient hahaha.Oh and also using magic to make food but you can't make it appear on a table or a counter ....Back on topic though.... Using the cauldron, magic and dispelling charge definitely use new animations. Riding the broom is new animations. There is also a spell that creates a plant so that's also new.

The practical spells tend to be overlooked by people downplaying the pack. Yes, Copypasto is just the cloning machine and transportalate is just teleportation. But those aren't the, imo, most useful spells in the Practical list.Scruberoo - don't know of another way to clean that's not cleaning/making someone else clean. Same with Repario and repairing stuff (as opposed to re-buying it). Florialoral covers watering, weeding, and spraying for bugs. Get the right Spellcaster perks and you don't have to go out in a storm to do it.Delicioso - other than the grilled cheese aspiration, don't know of a way to summon food either.Herbio - again, not aware of a way to summon a full size plant outside of debug. This may be limited to Magical plants, I don't use it because I want my sims to develop their gardening skill.I, personally, love the pack. I alternate between two saves at the moment, and I find myself missing magic in the one that isn't following a Spellcaster family. The spell animation (there's only one, I think) is nice enough, but I don't worry about it over much.

Thank you for your answers. I've always loved witches but i've read so many backlash about the spells in RoM that i have been delaying getting it...

Copypasto and Duplicato= Weaker cloning machineChillio = Freeze RayBurgliate = Kleptomaniac traitDespairio = A strong sad moodletTransportalate = TeleportingPotion of Nausea = An uncomfortable moodletPotion of the Nimble Mind = Skill boost, which we already have a ton ofPotion of Alluring Aura = Flirty moodletPotion of Emotional Stability = Happy moodletPotion of Prompt Resurrection = Protection from death. So like the Death Flower, except you don't need another sim for it to work.Other spells and potions are unique, or different enough to stand out on their own.

So you're ... disappointed that they allocated their Animation production hours to animations for the spellcasters instead of the spellcaster targets? Because they have a budget not only of money, but of man hours as well. And there are a lot of new animations for spellcasters - especially for the duels. They didn't have time for both, and I think they cut corners on the right side of the equation.

And while a bit of sparkle on Scruberoo on floors would have been nice, it does exist when Repario is used on objects. Also the cloud of black smoke when Repario fails. Heck, that's how I know Repario failed.

Yes @DaWaterRat I am disappointed that we didn't get spells that bring something new to the table like turning sims into gold, freezing time, spawning bees etc.
I believe the Sims team should have enough resources and manpower to do that, since the game sells a lot and they've always been able to develop things like that in the past so why not now?
Also about the dueling, yes sure but it's still a thread about the spells and that's what I'm only talking about.

Do you think it's too late for them to update the pack like through a patch or something?

I wish there were spells that affected lots like a spell that cleaned the whole lot in one go. A spell that repaired everything in one go. Spells that affected weather (if you had seasons). I really wish you could cast Deliciso on the table or counter. I wish that we could enchant items and make them float or upgraded or something lol.

I wish we could interact more with familiars like you can with a pet familiar. Just lots of missed opportunities I feel. ?‍♂️?✨

ROM is just full of recycled gameplay in different magical skin. Very disappointed. I know people don’t like outdoor retreat but at least it has the tent which is unique not found in any other pack.

I’ve just gotten started with spells, but my practical magic spellcaster’s animations always make her look like she’s dueling. I don’t like that because she is a pacifist.

Hmm... could she be exerting herself? Working really hard in order to make the magic work.
