I wanna mention my issues but I'm not trying to be rude to the devs I've played what 11 hours last night? So it's not that I don't
like RoM I love it! I am never being any other Occult again
. But I want to bring up a few nicely worded criticisms.
Reading: Can't we maybe add levitating books to any book we read? If it's too hard to program then okay just thought I'd ask...
Why No trait that allows us Occult fans add witchcraft to any lot? Vampire Nexus summons vampires why not one to let Casters treat that lot as Realm of Magic..?
If you move in a Sage it is mechanically impossible for them to complete the Potion Aspiration as that Aspiration
literally requires learning a potion Sages
know all 15 potions automatically.
Why is Morgyn the
only Sage from the Gameplay Reveal Trailer? That Mischief lady looks friggen AWESOME. I don't wanna be rude.. But it's kinda false advertising to showcase three 'leaders' from a trailer and only one of them is in game...
Maybe a moodlet to your sim if you give a failed potion? I thought I
killed Morgyn by giving him a broken immortality potion bonus points for it being sample and not one I made!
Occultism in Sims is family-friendly and should not be watered down to cater to realism players
Comments
My constructive criticism would be something to do with the practical cleaning spell: I wish I could use it to clean out the litterbox or magically clean laundry! Maybe I'm being too demanding but it would be awesome if it could clean anything dirty, regardless of the mechanics required to do it (again, maybe that's a little too much).
And the other one would be a super duper minor thing but I had really hoped to see the mirror from Supernatural make a return I loved that mirror haha. It's not all that important, but I did notice it!.
Finally, I think there's a bug that makes my sims be bombarded by new neighbor visits (each time with that darn fruitcake), except the "Invite Neighbors In" option isn't there and I can't ask them to leave. They disappear when I travel away from the lot and back, but they also came back. And they stay even if they get dirty and pee themselves. Good thing is I've been using them to practice the Scruberoo spell!
Also, why isn't dueling a club activity? I want to see magic duels between good and evil magicians.
The Sims 4 hasn't introduced a new musical instrument since 2017
Hmmm my sim's been experimenting at the cauldron for ages without learning anything? Maybe they're too dumb - or is it a bug? Cause so far, they ain't learned too many spells. The Sages refuse teaching them any most of the time, there are no good tomes, and experimenting doesn't seem to teach them much xD

Ah interesting - is this intentional? I'll have her daughter try her luck, maybe her lightbulb's brighter than her mother's?
Like a Tome of Weather Control- basically turns the spell caster into a living Dr June’s weather Machine.
Tome of Vampirism, turns sim into a vampire
Tome of Doggos & Cattos, turn sims into dogs and Cats
I feel like there should be more as the sims 4 continues it shouldn’t end here, this is just the beginning for magic.
Like if a Farming GP comes a long I expect tomes to turn sims into farm animals
And werewolves tomes to control lunar phases
My Mood:
I would very much like to lvl up slower, or just stop lvl:ing at all in the magical skill.
Trying to tell the story of a family that slowly gets more into magic, it is difficult when you play on the long setting and you can't stop lvl:ing if you use magic. Not all stories or fun revolve around getting better all the time. I just want my sim to be a low-lvl spellcaster and do some potions on the side.

1) I understand the decision to not be able to use magic on children but Scruberoo should be an exception! Ditto pets.
2) It's a bit too easy to level up and everything is handed to you as you go. Being handed a potion every time you learn it is just silly. I have hundreds of potions without ever having to make a single one. - learn potion, cast repairio on it to make it excellent, copypasta for infinite potions without ever having to find an ingredient.
3) Speaking of Copypasta.. is being able to replicate perfect Money Trees intended?
4) Build/buy swatches. Swatches not quite matching. Odd things like the moon glass square windows having brown trim but the round version has white. This pack is definitely an improvement in this aspect but there's room to pay more attention to detail.
And decrease in the easiness of levelling up!
