The Sims 4: Realm of Magic

The Sims 4: Realm of Magic is the eighth game pack for The Sims 4. It was officially announced during EA Play on June 8, 2019 and its trailer premiered on August 20, 2019. It was released on September 10, 2019 on PC/Mac and was released on October 15, 2019 for consoles. The focus of the pack is magic, and includes a new life state, spellcasters, and a new world, Glimmerbrook. Spellcasters can also acquire familiars.

Discover the Neighborhood – An unreal world awaits your Sim, and when you stumble upon the secret portal, there are mystical discoveries at every turn. Interact with familiars, cast spells on Sims around you, and concoct potions for friends and enemies.

Learn the Craft – Study up on classic teachings, get sorcerous experts to train your Sim, and become a Spellcaster by completing a quest. Collect and cast spells to make Sims fight, conjure food, or even turn others into objects. Create drinkable potions to make Sims fall in love, remove unwanted curses, or live forever!

Get Real Familiar – An ethereal familiar – or protector — will help your Sim become the Spellcaster they were destined to be. Summon a dragon, fairy, or the familiar that best suits your Sim’s personality as a personal guard and give it a creative name.

Dress for Supernatural Success – Get in the spirit of sorcery with outfits that suit your Sim. Over-the-top attire is cauldron-ready, while a subdued ensemble is perfect for casting new spells. Collect wands and brooms to finish the look, then decorate rooms with enchanting objects.

New features

World and neighborhoods

The pack includes a new world named Glimmerbrook, a residential mountainous forest world. It also features a portal into a separate floating fantasy-like neighborhood, The Magic Realm, where magic NPCs live. In this world, you can go to shops to buy brooms, magic books, and new wands.This section is in need of additional information.

Spellcasters

Main article: Spellcaster

A new life state—spellcaster—is introduced. They are largely similar to witches from previous games, in that they can learn magic spells and brew potions. Similar to vampires in The Sims 4, spellcasters have a variety of skills and abilities they can unlock as they progress through a rank system. They are also the first occult in The Sims 4 to not have a secondary form. This section is in need of additional information.

Stepping Through the Magic Portal in Glimmerbrook

Nestled among thick pine forests, Glimmerbrook appears like a quiet rural mountain village until you discover the swirling stone portal suspended over the river waterfall. Stepping across the celestial threshold transports your Sim to a shattered magical sanctuary floating among celestial asteroids and glowing cosmic mist. Three ancient Sages reside in the central headquarters, ready to induct aspiring novices into the magical arts.

Novices gather floating magical motes across celestial islands, present them to a Sage, and undergo the Rite of Ascension to become fully fledged spellcasters equipped with personal wands and spellbooks.

Mastering Spell Schools, Potions, and Familiars

Spellcasting splits into three disciplines: Practical magic for instant home cleaning and plant growth, Mischief magic for hilarious telepathic pranks, and Untamed magic for devastating lightning strikes and resurrection spells. Brewing bubbling cauldrons unlocks powerful concoctions like the Potion of Plentiful Needs, which fills all motive bars to maximum instantly.

Binding mystical familiars—such as celestial ravens, spectral skulls, or magical dragon dolls—protects your spellcaster from lethal magical overcharge failures while providing cheerful magical companionship during high-stakes spell duels.

Managing Magical Overcharge and Flying Broomsticks

Casting continuous high-level spells causes the magical charge meter to heat up rapidly. Entering an Overcharged state increases spell potency temporarily, but pushing past safe limits triggers dangerous magical blowouts that can ignite nearby furniture or prove fatal without a familiar companion present to absorb the shockwave.

Equipping antique or futuristic broomsticks allows spellcasters to soar across neighborhood skies freely, bypassing roads and elevators with graceful aerial transport.

Magical Alchemy and Secret Cauldron Recipes

Experimenting with bubbling cauldrons unlocks rare alchemical draughts like the Potion of Forced Friendship, the Potion of Immortality, and the Potion of Good Fortune. Bottling these shimmering elixirs supplies your household with magical solutions for any life challenge, cementing your family as master alchemists.

Engaging in high-stakes spellcaster duels at the celestial portal grounds builds magical ranking quickly, allowing your arcane prodigy to master every forbidden curse and blessing in the ancient spellbooks.
