It's simple really.. though I'm sounding like a broken record at this point, realm of magic hasn't been released yet but it is already confirmed that already existing occults won't be able to become spellcasters and that makes no sense
This is the pack a lot of people (especially occult players) were waiting for, I know that I certainly was. It has been exciting, the reveal trailer was amazing, I was thinking of all the things I could add to my vampire sims storyline and then...
"No, existing occult sims can't become spellcasters."
Why? It's legitimately like every time a new occult is added they pretend the others don't exist, I legitimately fail to understand how the magic trees and interactions couldn't have been added in a way that doesn't interfere with other things.
It's like saying "Hey, here's everything you ever wanted for your main sim, but oh.. yeah.. she can't use it, sorry, you'll have to make a new sim."
I've said before that I'm still getting the pack, because there are still some really cool new things in it... But seriously... Why is it that the pack that I've most been looking forward to packaged with a free slap in the face after all the time it took to get?
DX stop discriminating against my vampires/aliens/mermaids, they are sims too

But not everyone plays on PC
All console players would have it the "pray it doesn't break my game" cheats

Something wicked this way comes!
I don't use MCCC.
Like I wondered what would happen if a Vampire did Feed off of, or try to turn a Spellcaster. Could the vampire drain the Spellcaster of the magic in their blood and absorb it, or transfer it to another? That was my hope for a convoluted way to make hybrids.
Or something to do with scientists, a mad scientist trying to use science create an ultimate Hybrid, a chimera of sorts.
they'll need a strong Human specimen, a blank canvas to experiment on.
and inject Spell caster Plasma, Essence of Vampire, Werewolf Plasma, Mermaid Plasma etc.
Since it's a Battle between Supernatural and Natural Evolution, doing this runs the risk of the sim successfully turning into a Chimera, or Dying.
Maybe sims with a Higher fitness skill or something will have a higher success rate to endure the Natural to Supernatural Evolution.
But I'm okay with it being a Life State, To me it makes perfect sense, even if magic had been both a Life State and a Skill that wasn't exclusive to the Life state. Those who acquire the magic skill Shouldn't be able to reach the full spell casting potential the Life state can.
they should be only be able to cover the basics...
In my story there's a chapter where My sim parents Trent and Julia King Just got married. Julia is a Sorceress and Trent is human. and when they move in together and they unpack Trent discovers her Spell book and a box of her potions, curses and enchantments. Trent, Being the slightly curious, but his Detective side kicks in, he feels he should be knowledgeable when it comes to breaking spells, enchantments, and curses and all that. Julia agrees, and so they take a break from unpacking and Delve into some magic together. Julia shows and teaches him how Enchantments and potions are made, and what it really takes, In order to break an enchantment you need to know what created the enchantment, same with potions and curses all that jazz. So Trent can't and doesn't do magic, so he's basically building his lore Skill, and able to use magical objects his wife has obtained over the past few centuries. but because She is teaching him I don't want him to be a spell caster. So that's why I think it's good He can have knowledge of Magic but can't perform magic.
My Mood:
Especially with a slogan like "become the spellcaster you were owl-ways meant to be!" getting thrown around, implying that your sim could become a spellcaster rather than your human or spellcaster could become a spellcaster
Honestly I'd be satisfied enough if I could just keep my characters aesthetic, the pointy ears and fangs she normally has, as much as I'd hate losing her powers.
Though then there are my significantly less human looking vampire sims, I have my own absurdly evil dark lord sim all set up, but he won't be able to use magic
I guess we'll see what's available.. I wasn't really expecting much, but really... there's no way they couldn't have found a way to do two life states in spite of saying "no sim can handle it" because you can do it with cheats, literally all they'd have to do is make it less buggy
Not all PC players want to use mods either, why is that always the go to answer when questions arise ?
For me.. my computer is a toaster, I usually play on the ps4, so no mods here.
