BEST SIMS 4 MAGIC MODS!

Even though The Sims 4 Realm of Magic, Vampires, and Island Living packs introduced us to a world of spellcasters, mermaids, and vampires, we still find ourselves craving more. Honestly, there’s no such thing as too much magic in our eyes. We’re always searching for the next enchantment—because we just can’t get enough!

So, when we stumbled upon a collection of incredible Realm of Magic mods available for free, we were over the moon! Playing The Sims 4 with occult and magical beings is one of our absolute favorite things to do. It’s not just about the stunning visuals; it’s also about that much-needed escape from reality that magic brings.

That’s why we’re thrilled to share some of our top magic mods with you. So, hop on your magical carpet and get ready for a journey to a “whole new world”!

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.

GREATEST SPELL CASTER PERKS FREE – SIMS 4 MAGIC MODS

If you’re tired of entering endless cheat codes just to unlock spellcaster perks bit by bit, then the Spellcaster Free Perks mod is exactly what you need! Created by DANNNYWANGJO, this magical mod allows your spellcasters to acquire all 24 spellcaster perks—completely free of charge! Yes, you heard that right… Free! This means you can enjoy all the amazing spellcaster perks without breaking a sweat. Sure, you still have to “buy” them, but since they cost nothing, it’s basically effortless.

Keep in mind, this mod won’t level up your spellcaster’s rank—you’ll still need to handle that on your own. But honestly, we don’t mind. We’re just here for the awesome perks that come with being a spellcaster, and with this mod, you get them all!

MAGICAL SCHOOL FOR TEENS AND CHILDREN – ILKAVELLE

It’s time to dive into your Henry Puffer gameplay! With the Magical School mod by ILKAVELLE, your teen and child sims can enroll in their very own wizardry school. Welcome to Bonehilda’s Magic School, where potions, spells, and mysteries await around every corner! To have your sims attend, simply select the “magic school student” career. 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.

SPELLCASTER CHILD CAN USE MAGIC – SIMS 4 MAGIC MODS

When The Sims 4 Realm of Magic was released, it only allowed teens and adults to practice magic, leaving the Henry Puffer storyline incomplete for younger sims. Fortunately, FERDIANASIMS has addressed this gap with a mod that lets child sims practice magic too! We’re excited to dive into gameplay and fully explore the Henry Puffer storyline.

You don’t need to worry about child sims facing any tragic consequences from using magic, as FERDIANASIMS has ensured their safety. Plus, this mod adds a fun twist: spellcaster kids can join a club with other young spellcasters to practice magic together. How adorable is that?

REALM OF MAGIC FAMILIAR ORB COMPUTER – TEKNIKAH

If you’re into off-the-grid gameplay and craving a true cottage witch experience, you’ll adore this mod by TEKNIKAH. The Realm of Magic Familiar Orb Computer allows your sims to use their magical crystal orbs as computers! This is perfect for those who prefer not to display a conventional computer in their enchanted home or witch academy. Plus, it’s a fantastic way to mix things up!

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.

AN OCCULT LAY LINE (NEW TRAIT) – R3M

Attention Simmers with the Get to Work, Vampires, Island Living, and Realm of Magic game packs! With the “Occult Lay Line” lot trait mod, your sims have a chance to conceive a baby who doesn’t necessarily match their own occult type. Intriguing, right? We’re kind of obsessed with this twist!

Here’s how it works: there’s a 20% chance that the baby will inherit the occult type from either parent. However, there’s an 80% chance that the baby will inherit a random occult type. It’s a fascinating way to mix things up! For a closer look at these different occult possibilities, check out the details below.

Example Case 1:

Packs: Get to Work, Vampires, Island Living
Parents: Alien + Vampire
Babies: Human 40%, Mermaid 40%, Alien 10%, Vampire 10%

This enchanting mod features a floating deck that you can place on any tarot table, along with an override for the playing card texture and special tuning that updates the text when you interact with it.

The best part? This mod is fully compatible with the base game, so you don’t need The Sims 4 Realm of Magic pack to enjoy it. It includes 5 decorative objects and 7 versions of the tarot table. We’re beyond excited to add this captivating mod to our game!

WITCHCRAFT CAREER – SIMS 4 MAGIC MODS

Playing with spellcasters in The Sims 4 Realm of Magic is already fantastic, but imagine if your sims could actually pursue a career in witchcraft! Just picture it—a career in witchcraft would be so iconic that it’s hard to put into words. That’s why we were thrilled to discover this amazing mod by MIDNITETECH!

This incredible mod introduces a witchcraft career with 5 levels and 2 branches, each with 3 additional levels. Here’s what you can expect:

WITCHCRAFT BRANCH

    This may not seem like it is an important job. But, if you do not clean the cauldron perfectly after use, the next spell cast could go very wrong…
  • Herbs Gatherer
    You better read up on herbs, as you have been tasked to gather them for the Coven! Just make sure you bring back the right herbs…
  • Coven Initiate
    You have finally been accepted into the coven, and can perform spells with the witches!
  • Spellcaster
    Congrats! You have become an expert in spellcasting!
  • Familiar Spirit Binder
    Now you must select a Familiar! But it will possess the spirit of a lost loved one, so choose carefully.

WHITE MAGIC WITCH BRANCH

  • Gardnerian Witch
    Focus on balance, reincarnation, and mystery traditions as a Gardenian witch!
  • Cottage Witch
    Your home is your sacred place as a cottage witch!

    As an elemental witch, you will invoke elemental energies to empower magical goals!

BLACK MAGIC WITCH BRANCH

    Communicate with the dead and summon spirits, but be aware of the consequences.
  • Master/Mistress of the Dark Arts
    You are now a true master/mistress of the dark arts. Sims fear you…

FAMILIAR INTERACTIONS – SIMSMODELSIMMER

Are you as frustrated as we are with the lackluster interactions between your sim spellcasters and their familiars? Thankfully, SIMSMODELSIMMER has come to the rescue with the Familiar Interactions mod! This enchanting mod allows your sims to request random magic tips from their trusty familiars or chat about magical creatures, dangerous spells, or untamed magic. We love how it makes familiars more than just decorative sidekicks.

Using this mod is a breeze: simply purchase a familiar from the magic realm shop, summon your sidekick, and click on them to access the familiar interactions menu. It’s that easy!

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!

MODULAR PORTAL MOD – SWEETTACOPLUMBOB

Attention Realm of Magic enthusiasts! This magical-core portal by SWEETTACOPLUMBOB will transport your gameplay to a whole new galaxy! This mod is a mesh edit of the original Realm of Magic portal, offering a versatile and enchanting addition to your game.

To make it work, be sure to enable the cheats “bb.moveobjects,” “testingcheats true,” and “bb.showhiddenobjects” before placing it. The mod includes three sets, each with one entrance, one exit, and one portal to the magic realm.

Once installed, you can find the portals in the miscellaneous section under the entertainment category. After placing them, they’ll come to life in live mode within a few seconds.
