Townies in the Magic Realm

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.55.105.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Go to the Magic Realm
What happens when the bug occurs? All of the townies are practicing Magic.
What do you expect to see? Not every single townie practicing Magic. It's different to see one or two because it's like that's cool they've found the art of Magic, but all of them? That's excessive. I mean we don't see random townie sims walking around as vampires.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. 9/5/19 with Realm of Magic.

My sim is a spellcaster and has been to the magic realm. Well, I noticed a familiar sim. I believe her name is Claire Berjusen (?) from Windenburg. I thought oh that's neat she found magic (I like when the game progresses) however almost EVERY. SINGLE  TOWNIE. WAS COMING. The Delgato family, Eliza Pancakes, Zoe Patel, Curtis Moore, etc. I noticed other people on Twitter mentioning they had the same issue.

    @JJust0me, the only thing a console player can do is to wait and see if EA changes this. 🤞  Even though I'm a PC player, I'm in the same boat as you because I don't want to play with Mods/ CC as they are a lot of upkeep and can cause problems in the game if you don't maintain them. 😞  All we can do is wait and hope!

    Yea well that sucks but i did try an idea that seems to be working so far, I made about 20 spellcaster sims randomly and put them in my other household tab in manage world, it seems the take up the slots for the magic realm so no townies will walk in and become a spell caster because they are rotating the spell casters I made.

    Don't you mean "played"? Also I share the sentiments of the others in the past who have said the game generates spell casters way too frequently. Ideally the answer to this would be an options menu item (ala Sims 3) to tell the game "Don't add new spellcasters as NPCs"; This way we could limit the amount of spell casters that actually appear in world. (also would be nice if there was a way to disable townies in general; I have enough (un)played households that show up on my active lawn to justify not having them; why I've even been having to merge families and bulldoze "maxis" lots to make room...)

    I know this is an old topic, but is this still a thing? I was thinking about getting this pack but I don‘t want everyone to become a spellcaster.

  • @ToubeeasIt's fixed, see crinrict's latest answer above, from around two years ago. I can also assure you that the bug hasn't come back, I haven't had any problems since the bug fix.
