BIRTHDAY CAKE CELEBRATION SPELL – SIMS 4 MAGIC MODS

If you’re anything like us, forgetting your sim’s birthdays is a common occurrence. This often leads to frantic last-minute cake baking, hiring costly caterers, or abandoning the celebration altogether and hoping your sim isn’t emotionally scarred by the oversight. Honestly, whipping up birthday cakes can be one of the most stressful tasks in the game. Thankfully, those days are over! With the Celebration Spell created by Kuttoe, you can instantly conjure cakes right onto the ground or countertops.

That’s right—this spell lets your sims magically summon cakes out of thin air, and we’re absolutely loving it! Incorporating this mod into your game will save your sims time, money, and add an extra dose of fun. Let’s face it, not every sim enjoys baking, and now they don’t have to! Keep in mind, this spell is part of the Practical School of Magic and can be learned through all the standard methods once your spellcaster reaches rank 2. Additionally, you’ll need to have the “Spellbook Injector” mod by R3M & SIMSONIAN LIBRARY installed for everything to work seamlessly.

And if you’ve already installed the “school dropping by teens MCCC” mod, the magic school will automatically replace the regular high school. Now, let’s explore how this magic school operates.

THE MAGICAL EXAM

When your sim reaches level 4, they’ll need to pass an exam, which will be an active event. You’ll have to click on your sim to start the exam, which will transport them to the Realm of Magic. If your sim fails, don’t worry—you can retake the exam. However, if you pass at the Bronze level, you’ll receive a note but won’t have the chance to retake it. This outcome will impact your sim’s magic career and salary, so aim for a Gold level pass to unlock the best career opportunities and the highest salary.

VARIOUS SUBJECTS

Let your sims choose from a variety of classes! These subjects will become available once your sim reaches level 3. The options include Astronomy, Herbalism, General Magic, Practical Magic, Meditation, Mischief Magic, and Muggle Studies.

SCHOOL STRUCTURE AND LEVELS

At Bonehilda’s Magic School, your sims don’t receive grades—instead, they progress through levels. Each level offers a unique set of tasks, allowing your sims to advance from beginner to expert. But don’t worry, there’s still schoolwork involved. At every level, your sim will need to write an essay on a topic that varies based on their level. To complete their essay, they’ll use a special school book.

We love the concept of having spellcasters use their crystal orbs as computers. Not only does it look incredibly cool, but it also fits seamlessly with the Realm of Magic aesthetic.

TS3 TO TS4 WANDS – PEANUTBUTTERJELLY

We all loved the wands from Realm of Magic, but eventually, the limited selection got a bit tiresome. That’s why we were thrilled to find this wand mod by PEANUTBUTTERJELLY! It allows us to match our spellcasters’ personalities with wands that truly suit them. This magical mod pack includes two types of wands: TS3 and TS4, with the latter being fully functional.

To find these wands in The Sims 4, search for “PBJelly” in the search box or look under “activities” and “miscellaneous.” If they don’t appear, make sure you have “bb.showhiddenobjects” enabled. And of course, you’ll need The Sims 4 Realm of Magic installed to use this mod. Once you have that, you’re all set!
