Why can't children learn magic?
There isn't much at all for children sims to do. I really wanted them to be included in mermaids and RoM, they are ignored. It was awesome they included children in the vampires pack, but why are kid ...

I'll admit, it was cute when my Witch toddler would apparate and disapparate his toys... but I couldn't make him do that. And I haven't had a child born in game, yet, to a Spellcaster, so I haven't seen what, if any, indications there are of a magical bloodline in a pre-teen. But I do know Witches in TS3 also got their spellcasting powers as Teens, and I recall with fondness roleplaying a Witch dad giving his Witch son his first wand at Teen age-up.
Are there stories about magical children? Sure. Are there also stories about unlocking magical potential in adolescence? Absolutely, including some biggies like A Wizard of Earthsea, where Ged could meddle clumsily as a child, but not even begin to understand his power until he was Named, until he was, yes, a Teen. Sabrina can live with her aunties and cousin Ambrose, but her witch heritage is closed to her until she has the choice of accepting it, at age 16, as a Teen. TS4 is one of those stories. Teens can learn magic. Children can't yet.
Well, as a long time Archie comic book reader, the comic book Sabrina does do magic as a child, lol. As do other minor characters in that series.
Sorry this is trivial, I know.
Anyway, I'd love for children to have some magical abilities but I am aware that the reason it was left out of the game likely was due to animation budget and time.
