EA made Harry Potter games so not a rip off they have the rights to use it already if it was Harry Potterish. I don't see it - not that it matters I love all witch ideas and stories anyway - so not an issue..
People who want to see something there will see it.
As a World of Warcraft player, the magical city gives me the feeling of mixing Dalaran (floating magical city) with the background color palette of Netherstorm. And the owl familiar reminds me a bit of Tyrande's owl.
Truth is, the fly-up end scene is really similar to the Prisoner of Azkaban ending scene.
So true. We can have Brooms, next to boats and flying vampire bats, but cars are too farfetched.
But who knows, may be we will get a car patch one day. The travel icon already switched from a plane to a car...
But, what's the point of this pack if we can only do magic in the magic world? Or am I getting that wrong? They said
Magic is a secret art that Spellcasters will only perform in The Magic Realm. That does not stop the player from practising magic wherever they choose.
So what does practising mean? Doing it in private like you practise charisma in front of the mirror? Or practising by casting curses on unsuspecting sims you hate? I suspect not the latter, which will take most of the fun out of the pack.
Whoo! The Livestream will be on September 6th, confirmed by a simguru on twitter, can't remember which one. Saving the date and hoping it's a Saturday so I can watch live.
It's Friday, as any past Livestream. Presumably patch coming the day before, as all the previous times (With IL Island counters).

I think what they mean is that autonomous magic will only happen in the realm - as in, unplayed Sims won't randomly perform magic in any other worlds. But when you play a Sim who is a Spellcaster, they'll be able to perform spells anywhere.
Not sure though if it means that duels can only happen in the realm.

Ahhh! Thank you for explaining, that sounds much better than what I was thinking.
Yes, I kind of got the impression from 'realise their full potential' that kids might have a little bit they could do. Nothing for toddlers, though? (Probably too much to ask for a 'magical' trait for toddlers - just a little bit of accidental weird from a tot. But I was hoping.)
Hey folks I've merged posts from the source info thread that were discussing the trailer into here. Please keep discussion about the trailer to this thread.
Looks very nice! I hope makin’ magic (no pun intended) its own game pack will give us the series’ best witches/wizards yet.
While it's for sure, like any pack, have pros and cons in comparison to other games, opinion can wary. What I wish upon, though, that the focus is leaned more on practical spells than the overall prettiness. That what might lead me to classified as the best one.
While it reminds me of some past packs with a similar concept going for every incarnation of Sims released for the PC/Mac, I have to admit I'm really looking forward to seeing not just the new worlds, but especially the Art Nouveau theme being presented in this pack.
Yes!!!! Another occult pack and I love the way they are being done in this GP style. I cannot wait to get my sticky little hands on this it looks amazing even though I've only seen a glimpse of what it offers. The statement that it's generic fantasy hmmmm. how else would it be done? If you don't make something with a few cliches in it, how does anyone know what they are looking at? Floating worlds have existed since the beginning of the genre, as has the magical portal and the theory that all magic belongs in a medieval inspired world. From a readers point of view, fantastic now some of my stories can meet some of the stories I loved as a kid. Is it too Harry Potter? Well only in the same way as Harry Potter was too The Worst Witch, as the Little Vampire was too Dracula and It was too John Wayne Gacy. Given that there is a framework for writing of 8 main story plots similarities will be seen in everything no matter what. That said, any chances of a Werewolf's Pack Den and FaerieLand, they'd be great! This magical pack was something I wanted desperately, pretty much the same way most people wanted Laundry Day . So while some play and do their washing, now I can do what I'd rather have sims doing....riding broomsticks and hexxing the world around them. Honestly, I cannot wait, I really cannot, so I won't be following the hype because I like to make my own mind up in gameplay rather than set unrealistic highs and wants and feel disappointed when they don't all happen.
I already have plans for a spin on the Rags to Riches Challenge, only it's 'Rags to Witches' where you start out learning magic and work your way up to become an accomplished Spell-Castor.

Reading that makes it sound like it is going into some depth.

Even Harry Potter series itself had full of typical cliches about magic. It cannot be rip-off.
Agree with them

I also like wandering the hills.

Someone on twitter tweet romeo to check the lot's roofing on the Magic world. One of the trims doesn't match the others.

But will it work off the grid? (I had to ask.)
Wondering the same. I hope they can like that one mod that was released a couple months ago.
