Realm of Magic for the PC version of The Sims 4 was released in 2019 in September. Fans of magic in The Sims were treated to how The Sims 4 takes on the supernatural power of the mystic arts with the return of witches, or, as they're now called Spellcasters.
Magic has been a feature that many were looking forward to and while Realm of Magic didn't exactly hit every note fans were hoping for, it brought several new features and has made gameplay with magically inclined Sims different from any other Sims game created so far. Despite waiting for magic-related content in The Sims 4 for years, the modding and custom content community kept Simmers happy with witchy and magic-themed items. Said items make for very nice additions to what the Realm of Magic pack offers.
Updated on July 13th, 2020 By Ericka Blye: One of the new experiences Realm of Magic offers long-time fans and new ones alike is a "skill tree" full of Perks. Spellcasters work similarly to Vampires where they gain Experience points for doing certain activities and those Experience points can be traded in for Perks. Perks and other gameplay features like Familiars, Duels, and Alchemy are a few things that players enjoy about Realm of Magic, but there are others that are a bit lackluster. Luckily, there are many modders and custom content creators that are perfect for fans of Realm of Magic.
15 Modular Portal By SweetTacoPlumbob
Realm of Magic came with two worlds, the sleepy little town of Glimmerbrook and the mystical hidden world, The Magic Realm. For players wanting to make their Sims into Spellcasters, the only way into The Magic Realm is by finding its portal, located all the way across the map at the top of a waterfall.
The Modular Portal by SweetTacoPlumbob gives you the ability to place a portal nearly anywhere! There are 3 different entrances and exits and using the cheats to move objects and show hidden objects, you can customize the look of your portal in just about any way you want.
14 Occult Hybrid Unlocker By TwelfthDoctor1
Players can either make a Spellcaster directly in CAS or have their Sim become one in-game through the "Rite of Ascension." Those who intended to use Sims that were other occult types (Vampires, Mermaids, Aliens), quickly found out that turning their Sim into a Spellcaster meant giving up the previous occult and all the abilities that came with it.
However, with TwelfthDoctor1's Occult Hybrid Unlocker, it's possible to, not only turn other occults into Spellcasters, but also the opposite. TwelfthDocter1 warns that using this mod may cause errors, like missing perk options, needs panel, and the deletion of a Sim's Secondary Form.
13 Functional TS3 To TS4 Wands By PeanutButterJelly02
All Spellcasters start off doing magic with their hands, but for players who don't like that, they can purchase a wand for their Sim at Caster's Alley. Wands don't offer any benefits to casting spells but when they're not being used they can be displayed in cases for a little decorative flair.
There are 10 different wands, and if none of those styles suit your tastes, this mod from PeanutButterJelly02 gives you six more options to choose from. The wands are converted from The Sims 3: Supernatural and are completely functional, working exactly like the wands from Realm of Magic.
12 Spellcaster Children Can Use Magic By MyCepzid
Just like the other occult states, Sims can be born as a Spellcaster, though they aren't able to use magic until they become teens. While kids can interact with Familiars, for some players that isn't enough. However, with Mycepzid's mod, child Spellcasters can do nearly everything their teen and adult peers can do.
This mod doesn't give the full spellcaster experience, as Spellcaster children won't experience Overload, and certain animations don't work properly for them, it's still an overall enjoyable mod that, for some, makes up for the lack of child Spellcaster interactions.
11 Don't Turn My Sims Into Spellcaster By Zero
You'll find that the Magic Realm is brimming with Spellcasters, often pre-made sims that have been made into Spellcasters. For players who have been playing on the same save for a long time, that might not be something they like.
That's where Zero's "Don't Turn My Sims into Spellcasters" mod comes in. It's a tuning mod that will only use pre-made Spellcasters to fill in any Spellcaster roles needed, or generate new ones, giving you better control over the story your game tells.
10 Drifter's Wonder Set By Jools-Simming
The Drifter's Wonder Set by jools-simming is the perfect mystical collection to add even more witchy flair.
There are 38 different objects that include a chair, two different sets of lights and plants, a table, wall art, and much more! Nearly every item comes in multiple swatches, allowing for a variety of different looks to suit your sim's needs. There are even a few items that have special effects to them, like the crystal ball, that shimmers and glows.
9 Crystal Mandala By Teanmoon
The mandala is a spiritual symbol that is an important part of many different religions around the world. It represents many different things, from deities to paradises and even the universe.
This set by Teanmoon comes with a mandala board and 12 separate objects to put on it, including 4 precious stones that come in 20 colors each and 8 crystals that come in 25 colors each.
The mandala board is basically a witchily-decorated table that has a whopping 49 slots that allow for numerous different arrangements. It will add a much-needed witchy flair to any Realm of Magic build.
8 The Wizard's Lair By Zx-Ta
What are some of the things that any wizard would find important? Their spellbooks of course, and the various brews they make. Zx-ta's Wizard's Lair is the perfect piece for any wizard that wants to show off their many books and make their potions, in style!
It's a crafting station that functions like the chemistry lab that came with Get To Work. While Realm of Magic seems to have an actual cauldron for making potions, any sims that want to be both magical and scientific can be without sacrificing the witchy look.
7 Maxis Match Tarot By Deathpoke1qa
Even non-believers can admit there's something fun about seeing how well they can be read and what the cards have "in-store" for them. With Deathpoke1qa's Tarot, Simmers can tell their sim's fortunes, or pretend to at least.
There's a set of tarot cards that can be used for decoration and seven different versions of the tarot table, though players only need to choose one. The cards are also Maxis Match, so they blend in with the style of the game perfectly.
6 Simlish Ouiji Board By Desertgloom
Another Maxis Match item that's perfect for any witchy sim is the Ouija Board from desertbloom. Now sims can commune with the dead in the afterlife, all in their native language of Simlish!
The Ouija board is only decorative and doesn't come with any special effects, but it will add a nice touch to any witch's or clairvoyant's room. The board also comes with a planchette done in Similish as well, so sims can tell their new ghosts friends "Sul Sul" (Hello) and "Dag Dag" (Goodbye). Or ask them to stop haunting the toilet.
5 "Practical Magic" Set By Magnolian Farewell
Magnolian Farewell's "Practical Magic" Set was a gift for one of her friends on Tumblr, but she was kind enough to share it with the community to be used for any witchy sim's needs.
The set comes with three different items; one is a decorative tabletop spellbook that's slotted for small decorations and comes with a tiny candle and 10 different swatches. There are test tubes filled with different plants and other potion-making ingredients, and an animated cauldron with different swatches. Simmers can choose between three different steaming pots of potions or one filled with lobster chowder. Yum!
4 Warlock's Wear By Nolan-Sims
In The Sims community on Tumblr, there's a yearly event called Simblreen where simmers create custom content to be given out on and around Halloween. There were tons of amazing "treats" given out last year and Nolan-Sims had a great collection that included Warlock's Wears.
It's a full-body three-piece suit for both male and female sims and comes in 15 different swatches. This spiffy suit will make any sim fit right in the hidden magical world.
3 DIY Witch Hats By DivaDoom
Every witch needs a good witchy hat, and DivaDoom's DIY Witch Hats are some of the best looking ones around. Another treat made for the Tumblr Sims community event, Simblreen, there are 7 different hat swatches to fit any witch's style.
They come decorated with flowers, bows and more in both black and white. These DIY hats aren't just for adult witches either, they are also available for kids and toddlers as well. There is even one made for decoration to add an even more witchy flair to any room.
2 Scourge Dress (& Lil' Blob) By Pinkpatchy
One of the amazing things that modders for the Sims community can do is convert things from other games and make them available for different Sims games. The Scourage Dress by Pinkypatchy is one of those items.
Converted from the Scourage Skin in Fortnite the dress comes in 5 different colors and comes in two versions, one with the hood up and one with the hood down. Though the original outfit was inspired by plague doctors, this dress will fit any cute witch's needs. There's even a weird but cute, hat included in the set.
1 Pufferhead Stuff Pack By Mlyssimblr
There are a few in-game jokes that are a nod to things that exist in real life. For example, The Sims 4 has it's own Harry Potter book series called "Henry Puffer," and this fan-made "stuff pack" plays on that.
The Pufferhead Stuff pack by Mlyssimblr is an amazing collection of items based on the extended lore of Henry Puffer, made by Mlyssimbr. Sims of all ages can decorate their rooms in Henry Puffer inspired objects and show their Harnocks house pride in CAS items. This collection is perfect for witch and non-witch sims alike.
