Explore the mysterious town of Glimmerbrook while playing as a Spellcaster in The Sims 4: Realm of Magic! Becoming a Spellcaster allows Simmers to cast spells, brew potions, and play pranks on other Sims.
The Sims 4: Realm of Magic is an occult-type game pack featuring a world fueled by a mystical force that created magical beings like Spellcasters and Familiars. Spellcasters dedicate their whole lives to mastering the ancient art of magic — and it will be a long and arduous road for them. Thankfully, becoming a Spellcaster is not all that difficult. Find out the ways you can become a magic-wielding Sim in this guide.
Make a Magical Folk
The simplest way to play as a Spellcaster is to create one in CAS. To make a Spellcaster, select the Create a New Sim icon, hover your cursor over the Add Occult Sim tab, and click Add Spellcaster.
Two new magical Life Aspirations were added to the occult-themed game pack. One of the aspirations is Spellcaster & Sorcery, found under the Knowledge category. The Purveyor of Potions Aspiration under the Nature category can be selected if you want your Spellcaster to focus more on mixing potions. You may choose any life goal for your Sim to pursue. But selecting the aspirations with the DLC will give you interesting milestones that only a Spellcaster can accomplish.
Turn into a Spellcaster
If you want to turn your regular Sim into a Spellcaster, you can ask an experienced sorcerer to grant your Sim magical powers. It is worth bearing in mind that this method will only work for a human Sim. Any occult-type Sim will have to renounce their current life state before becoming a magician.
Travel to the empty residential lot, Glimmerbrook Watch, and go to the northwest part of the town. You will find a portal door on top of a rock on the river. Head inside the door to get transported to the Magic Realm, a secret world in Glimmerbrook.
Find one of the three Sages who can help you become a Spellcaster in the Magic Realm. The three sages are Simeon Silversweater, L. Faba, and Morgyn Ember. Each Sage represents the three schools of magic: Practical Magic, Mischief Magic, and Untamed Magic. You can easily identify the Sages from the crowd because of the glowing, floating icon above their heads.
Introduce your Sim to one of these Sages, and select the ‘Ask How To Use Magic’ social interaction. You will then be given a quest to test your resolve to become a Spellcaster. A chance card will appear, asking you if you will go through the test immediately or do it some other time.
If you select yes, one of the sages will give you an ability called Mote Sight, a power that lets you see Magical Motes scattered everywhere. You will be asked to collect seven pieces of these Motes.
After that, talk to any of the sages and give them the requested items, and they will happily grant your Sim the ability to practice magic! A globe of mana will appear above your Sims’ needs, and you can also access the spell book and perks menu once your Sim becomes a Spellcaster.
Born with Magical Powers
The third method is probably the most time-consuming method of all. You can make two Spellcasters procreate and bring a young magician into the world.
Make a Spellcaster Sim pursue a romance with another practitioner of the magic arts and have them conceive a baby. If a Spellcaster tries for pregnancy with a non-occult Sim, there is only a 50% chance for them to have a baby with magical powers.
Sims born with magic can only gain their powers when they reach their teenage years, which means toddlers or children will not be able to access their spell books and magical perks until they get to high school.
Use Cheats
Turn your regular adult Sim into a sorcerer by typing in a cheat code. Input ‘Testingcheats on’ into the command console to enable cheating. After that, you can type ‘traits.equip_trait trait_Occult_WitchOccult.’
And there it is, your Sim can now yield a wand and practice witchcraft and wizardry! More news, articles, and guides on The Sims 4 can be found here on PlayerAssist.com.
