[RoM] Magical clones can become permanent (Patch 1.62.67)

We’ve noticed that the Duplicatio spell, cast by spellcasters in the Realm of Magic DLC, is currently creating clones that remain in the game as permanent "siblings" instead of disappearing after a short time, as intended. This issue has been reported repeatedly by multiple users.

We believe Realm of Magic is one of the most creative and magical expansions in The Sims 4, and it deserves the same level of polish and care as other core content. Addressing this bug would not only improve gameplay immersion but also reflect positively on the long-term value of the DLC — for both players and the company.

It’s especially important that this pack works properly for occult and paranormal players, who rely on Realm of Magic to build rich and immersive storytelling. This is all the more relevant now, with the upcoming release of the Enchanted by Nature DLC — a pack that seems to expand the mystical and magical side of the game. Ensuring consistency and functionality between these experiences would greatly benefit both communities and developers alike.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. ❤️

  • I had that issue too in a previous save. I've since started micro-managing my sims when they're casting spells to be sure they don't duplicate themselves. Until this issue is fixed their kids won't learn that spell when they're old enough.

  • I have a sim that runs a magic school and one of her employee tasks is to cast spells. As a result of this bug, she has multiple clones that she's created all on her own. Permanently.

  • When using spellcaster's ability to duplicate themselves, cloned Sim would disappear after some time, and get removed from the family tree. 

    However, this is no longer the case, they stay forever, they might leave the house but not disappear, and they stay on my Sim's family tree. This ruined my family tree and makes me not use this ability at all.
