When there’s *more gameplay* in a Gamepack than a full expansion pack. 👀

[mrmr]

The build style is called Art Nouveau, its from 1890s to 1910s, its pretty but it doesnt scream "magic". Sims 1 spooky carnival vibe def fits better

The missing door never fails to make me laugh 🤣

[lauricdarkbolt]

I love these brutally honest reviews so much. They're so helpful when I'm trying to decide what pack to buy. I was so close to buying some really broken packs more then once lol

[YUL]

I honestly play with Realm of Magic a lot - I remade the Goths as evil spellcasters and created a rival good family - but there are some things I wish it had:
- a degree in University
- at least one career path
- storage, like the the refrigerators or flower arranging table, where spellcasters could store their potion ingredients (they just have to carry them forever in their inventory)
- ability to enter the greenhouse and shop buildings

LOVE the art nouveau build stuff.

Practical magic is so useful.

Cats and dogs who are familiars can stop the Grim Reaper from taking your sim.

the greenhouse bothered me SO. MUCH when I was trying to harvest "magic" plants and there were so few...and with seasons half of the small variety of plants you CAN collect arent even in growth

[ladyclaue]

i wish they had magical candles that affect moods and tarot cards that could trigger random events. i miss the chaos thst the older sims games had

[fast-topgun]

i personally loved this pack🙂 i liked the area in the realm, but furthermore, i like how it has actual gameplay. it doesn't just add a spellcaster with a few interactions and call it gameplay. if y'all know where i was goin with that...

What a coincidence because I actually just started ‘replaying’ realm of magic to give my teen sim striving for a career in biology some more ‘gameplay’ since she can make potions as a spell caster. The build mode is definitely the best part, the gameplay is subpar, you spend most of your time reading books to learn spells. But hey when you spend your whole bank account and mix this pack with other packs, you can get a decent storyline going.

I think I've mentioned this on a previous video, but I *wish* they had gameplay for child spellcasters. Accidental magic, maybe a new childhood magic skill, a few of the less OP spells available for children. It could have even been an opportunity for imaginary friends, or the ability for children to make their toys come to life as playable sims. (Think the big stuffed animals) I think that would be hilariously fun! Especially on playthroughs with normie parents who have a magical child.

[lilymulligan]

Realm of Magic was one of the first packs I bought and I have to agree entirely with this review. The greenhouse was probably the biggest disappointment I've had with the Sims ☹️ but that's because I bought the pack before I started watching Sims YouTubers so I knew better than to spend money on my wedding stories lmao

[yasminni]

A black cat as a familiar would be AWESOME!

[anahenriques.]

I do think the missing door is kinda *iconic.* I like to think of it as a *creative liberty.* If you can teleport, why having a door, right?

Some with the missing toilets from get famous. After all, *famous people don’t poop, * right, right?!

[AJ-tiltagirl]

So many missed opportunities in this pack it hurts....
And I couldn't agree more with trying to build a magic themed house. I've started to and abandoned the project soooo many times due to lack of objects, even when I go to debug and use items from that menu.

[nedrane]

Even worse, the bar is made with basegame furniture.
Uh, the magical bloodline thing is borked, it doesn't progress as its purported to do. I have a save file just waiting for them to fix it. Also this pack originally came with special eyes for spellcasters which apparently didn't work correctly so they removed them and spellcasters can just use the ones for mermaids and vampires.

[f.airy.x]

Not gonna lie my heart broke on the CAS review because I adore it. In fact it was one of the selling points for me. The direction they went with seems weird but it’s actually a more niche aesthetic called whimsigoth which is my style irl

[MeanieMelatonin]

This was the first pack i ever bought and i love it.
I love the CAS and use it very often
I love the build even tho i dont use it that often
I love the magic system and game play to the point that in all my saves there is at least one spellcaster.

[Inuyasha]

I wish there was some interactions with the familiars. Also there was a broom flying skill they can get better at flying and sometimes perform tricks. I have never used Glimmerbrook world.

[KMort]

I am honestly a HUGE fan of how useful the gameplay is. The practical spells especially are so useful in daily gameplay and I adore the appearance of the world. (Yes, yes the buildings and stuff are horrible but I am not a builder)

[werewolf]

I played as a spelcaster while doing the strangervile story, using spells to copy all the evidence quickly and enchanting military personnel to like him was very funny, never thought of combining the 2 packs but spellcaster can indeed 7sed for all kind of scenarios 🎉
