What gives? Being a Spellcaster should come with more useful spells / potions. Seems kind of rushed.

But yeah, I'm kind of sad there are no weather spells too. It does makes mermaids more unique though.
Honestly I really don't know how you didn't understand that. What combinations can be made with spells and fame? You might know if you played Makin' Magic.
sassy
I was only curious whether you meant spells to become famous or getting famous from using spells

It wouldn't be a cash grab because the options could/should be hidden from users without the specified packs.
Edit: Also, Pets/Weather/Fame are the top selling EPs. The majority of players would have any or all of those packs, I know I do.
lol
it doesnt matter whether the feature is hidden or not. you're paying for it whether you can use it or cant
"I have it, so the majority of players must have it too"
lol
hate to break it to you but the majority of players are playing base game with little to no DLC at all.
I don't care if other people are paying for something they can't use. I'd rather see the players who did shell out their money on other packs be rewarded. FOH
Oh? Can you back up that assumption?
common sense would be the first thing to back it up
but if that isnt there (and for you it clearly is not) then the fact that the base game has sold millions more copies than any of the "most popular" dlc's would be the next best indicator I guess
Common sense would be what *I* said. I guess I have to repeat it for you. Pets, weather and fame are the top selling DLCs. The majority of players have any combination of those packs. I'm sorry you can't afford them all.
I have all of them lol. What I own is completely besides the point of what I said. It is unrealistic to expect the spells in this pack to have relied on other DLC. Little side features like being able to make your cat or dog a familiar are different, but that main selling point of the pack needs to be accessible by everyone.
Here's the thing, just because you disagree, does not mean you are correct. If it has been done before (Makin' Magic, Apartment Life, Supernatural), it can be done again. I don't care what "everyone" has. Exclusivity has a reasonable price and makes it that much more valuable.
I'm absolutely correct
at least until you find something to say that isnt condescending, or just plain false to go along with what you are saying. Then maybe I'd reconsider my position
I'm *absolutely* correct. I'm smart; you're dumb. I'm big; you're little. I'm right; you're wrong. You lose, good DAY sir.
As long as people still have a good amount of spells to work with (and we do), it shouldn't be a problem if one or two things are locked out to them, if that lock-out makes sense.
The Sims 4 hasn't introduced a new musical instrument since 2017
Anyway, while I would've liked more spells that tie into other packs, I just think they rushed the gameplay like they always do. I've already seen quite a few bugs with CAS after I bought the pack, I'd like to know what exactly were they doing all this time.
Thank you, I couldn't have said it better myself. I agree completely.
I agree, thank you.
@Kolby was simply stating the pack itself seems to be lacking a couple of features. Weather manipulation would have been a good fit for this pack and could have been entertaining. Such as creating a blizzard during one of the festivals in the middle of summer. I can think of a lot of ways a Spellcaster could wreak havoc using weather as a weapon. Using a spell to make a Spellcaster a celebrity could have been implemented in some form as well, but the fame system is complicated as is the vampire system, which is probably why vampires cannot be a witch/warlock at the same time. I think the teams didn't want to complicate the vampire and fame systems already in place. However, Spellcasters are still able to become famous and reach celebrity status. They just have to do it without resorting to using spells and potions. But I think the abilty to cast a spell that strips a celebrity's status and makes them a normal Sim again would have been a fun thing. There is already a Celebrity Cleanse Potion in the game that does this, so it wouldn't have taken much to include that in a Spellcaster's bag of tricks. I think the modding community will have a lot of fun over the next few months with this pack. There's no telling what they will come up with.
However I would have sorely wanted a clear skies spell... since I hate overcast days to the point that sometimes I want to disable Seasons.
I'm glad they did the work to make cats and dogs familiars.. mostly because we have so many types and can color and mold them so many ways. Witches and pet familiars go together like peas and carrots .. and I think there would have been deserved backlash if they hadn't made an attempt to tie them in.
