Hi all 
I have bought the RoM and made a Sim visiting the magic realm to become a witch.
Well I noticed, that my mail lady is flying on a broom now and thst really bugs me.
Can I remove that somehow? I like my Sims to be normal, no vamps or witches and I really don't want them to do their job flying on a broom.

This link has the cheat on how to remove the spell caster trait.

Anyone that your sim hasn’t met is eligible to become a spellcaster for performance reasons.
Good tip! Thanks for this, time consuming though so I'll likely just draw them off the gallery as you suggested.
Yeah, I've been thinking of uploading the two groups of eight I initially made.
Which is also kinda how I figured out that they had to be in individual households, because the game won't draw more than 1 or at most 2 from a single household at a time.
Edit to add - and I have just uploaded the 16 random casters I made to test this out. "Random Casters 1" and "Random Casters 2"
(the traits that give access to a handful of 'novice' or 'intermediate' level spells/potions and cause them to show up to practice in the realm. i also gave some of them a 'magicvenuenpc' trait just in case. and on top of that, i gave every single one of them the 'spellcaster premade' trait so they'd quit wearing randomized outfits every time they went to the realm. the only trait i didn't give any of them was the broom-riding one)
this was a two-part thing for me, really. first, it helped ensure only other sims i wanted to be spellcasters would show up in the realm. and second, by editing so many townies, i could get the feel i wanted for the realm (some of the townie sims are very much not human, others are kind of outlandish humans, others are pretty much 'normal') and was able to go through to every single spellcaster i have, played or not, and ensure they don't do some of the silly randomized outfits while in the realm
...the unfortunate thing is that even the 'spellcaster premade' trait's ability to avoid random outfits is overridden by certain work outfits (so far, i know bartender, barista and stall vendor... basically, seems to be any service industry ones) or the 'night' outfits from visiting a bar on certain evenings... i had to delete and redo all three of my custom sages because they went to knight night in glimmerbrook and wore suits of armor forever...
As in careless and lazy programming. Not having any sims be spell casters (other than sages and bona-fide realm residents) would be even less of a performance drain. Same old excuse that's been trotted out for years, and getting more than old.
I have two spellcasters in two separate saves using this template and neither one of them has met any of these Sims. I was extremely surprised when they went to the Realm and none of the premades or my townies were there designated as spellcasters. Every single spellcaster, other than the Sages and Glimmerbrook residents were brand new game generated not-in-world townies.
So, my conclusion from this is that your Sim doesn't really need to 'meet' or interact with premades or townies for them not to be chosen for spellcasters, they just need to be interacted with by you somehow for premades or be your own previously played Sims from other saves.
However, I have three Sims in this custom template that are always vendors in every single world, every single save. One of them is the premade Zoe Patel, the other two are my own played Sims from previous saves I put in the template. These three do show up in the Realm as vendor ghosts in Casters Alley. That's it though, they are not spellcasters. That's just been my experience so far, perhaps I've just been extremely lucky. Just thought I'd share in case it's not just luck, but by design and others can try the same strategy to avoid premades autonomously becoming spellcasters.
I do have the problem with situational outfits for my Sages though, it's frustrating and I hope they fix that soon. I can ask my Sages to see their every day outfit, but they just change back to the situational outfit the next time my Sim visits the Realm. Curiously, although the Untamed Sage, Morgyn, has also been to festivals and such, they have never been stuck with an outfit. I've noticed though that they never change into any kind of situational outfit there anyway. This Sim seems to have been coded differently than the other two Sages. At least in my game.
Even though I don't have the problem of premades and/or my townies becoming spellcasters (at least so far), or use mods, thank you to those who posted links on how to remove spellcaster traits for those that do.
