First off (before I get carried away and forget – it happens) I would like to express my gratitude to EA and the EAGCN (EA Game Changers Network) for allowing me this opportunity to take a pre-release peek at Realm of Magic.
I am so thankful to be considered for it.
BTW watch for the giveaway … coming real soon.
✮✮✮✮✮ ❤ ✮✮✮✮✮
So most of you know I am a BIG FAN of CAS so I will start out with a peek at new content:
Love the new ROM hair!
My fave is the curly short male hair…
I think it looks fab on the ladies too!
Actually, both male hairs suit the ladies.
There are a couple of new makeup items.
I love the face glittery sprinkles or whatev it is and the new lippy is amazing.
The eyeliner?? MEH … I will probably never use it.
Shoes and boots … they are fun.
Very much what would be expected in this type of pack.
Not necessarily on your everyday simmies but still cute.
Well, except for these…
I am seriously loving these.
These will be on a few of my everyday simmies.
They are tagged for male but TBH I think they are cute for the ladies as well.
Accessories & jewelry … again fun and well done.
I do wish we could see the earrings better but I do love that they are not gigantic.
They added 2 very cute pair of leggings!
My one and only grouse so far is that there are no new hats!
To me, this pack screams new hats and nope …
there are none!
BUT we do have some great cc hats that fit the bill in the community.
This FAB hat cc can be found in these links:
Simlovelaugh Patchy’s Accessories
I had way too much fun playing in cas with the new outfits …
I will not bore you with the play by play 🙂
Just show you the goods …
Evella got a lovely makeover …
Yes, she is back and looking good! ❤
Just for fun, I thought I would show that the CAS items can be used outside of a ROM story line …
Memaw & Pepaw just arrived to the big city of SanMyshuno.
It is time for the annual Hoedown Throwdown!
After gettin’ some fancy new dancin’ duds from the best boutiques & haberdasheries in town, they gonna shine on that dance floor like a new penny!
Memaw pulled on her best dancin’ boots &
Pepaw is ready to commence whoopin’ n hollerin’.
They are ready to cut a rug!
Come on city folk let’s get this shindig started.
While I am in CAS I cannot forget the 2 new aspirations …
Which of course brings us to the new life form …
The Spellcaster (more on this in the next episode)
✮✮✮✮✮ ❤ ✮✮✮✮✮
I have shared a few ROM CAS in the gallery (ALL NO CC of course)
and of course …
✮✮✮✮✮ ❤ ✮✮✮✮✮
This is not extensive AND remember, I am not a builder
but here is a quick peek at B/B.
There are some FAB things to be found.
I am in love with the bassinet …
and the fence …
and the windows …
and the flying brooms …
and those little shops!
✮✮✮✮✮ ❤ ✮✮✮✮✮
To bring this episode of the ROM peek to a close I thought to take a few shots of the new world.
It is gorgeous.
To me, it is a cross between two of my FAV worlds …
Windenburg and Granite Falls.
The devs were very generous with the dig spots and frog finding spots!
✮✮✮✮✮ ❤ ✮✮✮✮✮
Next time
(AND it will be giveaway time too)
I love almost everything about this pack! Just a shame that you can’t live in the Realm and that there are no hats. Also the premade houses are badly built, but it’ll be an easy fix.

Somehow Evella has become the witch of The Sims 4 for me – Evil and iconic enough to be remembered even when I’m just playing suburban families in my own game – far away from your Sim realms.
Lovely overview of the pack – and thanks for the links to the hats. I knew they were out there somewhere but kept forgetting to look for them.

If that was my only big disappointment with the pack was that there were no 🎩 . I don’t know how they overlooked it! I am glad Evella is memorable … I hope the new disguise is not to normal. I like her on the ridiculous side. My fingers are crossed that she’s terrible at magic and we have some really good story fodder LOL

Oh trust me, I am a mess when it comes to editing! Very much still growing up there too! I basically do whatever I want and then get pouty when someone says I overdid the filters! XD

Wonderful thing about editing and filters and etc. is that it is a personal taste. Some people like very vivid colors (I’m one of those) and other people really love the monochromatic or sepia tones. Some like it very warm some very cool there is no right or wrong in that area. In my humble opinion of course. So just look at them and say “I do what I want” LOL

This is a terrific overview. I wonder why the pack doesn’t have hats? That seems like a natural thing to have included in a pack like this. 🙂

Great overview! It is too bad there aren’t witches hats, though I’m probably one who wouldn’t really use them much, but I think it’s unfortunate that they didn’t at least include one. The one with Spooky Stuff is cute, but if I remember correctly, has a spider at the end so looks a bit to much like a costume. I’ve heard second hand about the negativity but for the most part I wanted to explore if for myself ( your overview is the only one I’ve looked at so far 😊). When I do use the lots that come with the game I always edit them so I don’t really care that much what they look like to start. Though I did notice a few sims getting stuck in some flowers on the top floor of the Realm of Magic lot, that’s not so good. I had to use the cheat so I could edit the lot and remove some of the flowers!
