@Zeldaboy180 sounds like you have a very similar playstyle to me. I also have a few self improved rules.
I appreciate the curses because it gives a bit of a negative side to magic. Although this particular curse is definitely not my favourite. My spellcaster has the curse that turns her green every now and then and I like it.
I use a mod to increase the ingredients for the potion of needs and a mod to make it fill all needs except sleep. I like to have a normal day/night cycle for my sims.
My sims also can only specialise in one school of magic. They only get the perk for successful spells in their chosen specialisation. They can still get failed spells and curses from the other schools of magic.
