Sims 3 Witch-y Magic

There is no Sims 3: Magic expansion pack, but there are a lot of magical options available to those who practice witchcraft and want a realistic self-sim.

EA released their very own magic item with the Lady Ravendancer Goth’s Book O’ Spells. You can find it in the EA store for 500 credits. Because it’s EA produced it will remain up-to-date with the game for all time.

The spells included in the Sims 3 magic book:

Mood Elevatus- When used with at least two sims in a room, it elevates their moods.

Summon Anamale- This causes the ‘cursed’ moodlet when cast in a room with at least two sims. It causes them to act in strange ways.

Summon- A random sim will show up at your house.

Summon Aquainted- A sim with at least friend status will show up at your house.

To be honest, I’m beyond disappointed with these spells. I can do all of these with cheats, so this is basically the paid for version of a cheat.

For those who are running Sims 3 before patch 1.22 and haven’t bothered to update since, this Sims 3 witch wand is perfect. It adds actual magic, a new magical skill and challenges. Sadly, this has not been updated to function with the newest Sims expansion packs or patches. Buzzler appears to be working on that though so hopefully soon we will have a new version of this for Generations forward. Buzzler is a great creator, so I have high hopes.

Spells for the current incarnation include mischievous spells to make items dirty, cleaning up items, setting people on fire, getting raises and promotions, etc. This may change when Buzzler gets done with the new version though.

Tarot cards that are decorative only. They are spread out and ready for use.

More decorative objects to stash around your house! A crystal ball and various layouts for tarot cards. Great for those pictures with your fortune teller.

For some conversions of Sims 2 witch content, check here. The cauldron, mystic dust with mortar and crystal ball look great. I could take or leave the rest of it, but your witch or warlock might find that useful.

The crystal ball TV lets your fortune telling sim pretend to watch futures dance past. And with the addition of home movies with Generations, your sim can watch other sims and even him/herself!

These altars let your witches worship in peace. They’re classified as coffee tables so you can’t actually worship at them, but they do look spiffy.

These candles would be perfect for pictures where your sim is casting candle magic! Second row down, second item. And, of course, baskets from the same site will work for gathering the herbs you grow in your garden.

I recommend all the bookcases converted from The Sims Medieval by CocoMama. It might be intended for medieval, but it works great for that eccentric witchcraft practitioner. And keep an eye on this thread for other items that might be of use. CocoMama has posted a few floor sculptures that you might like, such as a cauldron and various statues that would look great in magical sim worlds. Don't forget to check all the other Sims Medieval content; you just might find the perfect items that I didn't even think about being for magical purposes.

And, of course, every respectable witch is going to be waiting with bated breath for Sims 3: Pets which will offer cats, rats and a unicorn. Wait, a unicorn? That’s right! Who doesn’t need a unicorn? “It’s pretty handy having a Unicorn around! They can cure certain ailments from bites, getting kicked, curses or even nausea, all with a swish of a tail! Just make sure your Unicorn is rested since it takes a considerable amount of energy to perform these miracles!” Of course, your unicorn could be evil and curse people or start fires, but that’s up to you.

Free Wiccan Spells and Kits

I know this is totally on short notice, as this Listia.com auction is ending in just a couple hours, but I thought I'd point it out anyway and maybe the user will list a few more of these if she has any. This spell kit come with Blessed Pennies from maker’s cauldron, skeleton key image to write wishes down, anointing oil, paper bag, 2 votive candles and incense cones. Instructions are also included for how to use it. This kit is a Conventry Creations item; I have no actual experience with them so I have no idea of their effectiveness of accuracy, but anything can be made to work in the hands of a good practitioner.

And this leads me to a question I have. I currently sell some of my magic spells and potions on Fiverr.com, but it's kind of tedious doing the money exchange for something that I don't think has an actually monetary value. Magic is priceless!

So I was thinking I might start putting together small magic spells and potions kits like the one above, with all the ingredients for a specific spell to be cast, including instructions for how to do it, and giving them away for free on Listia.com. What do you think?

Would you be interested in bidding on free Wiccan spells and kits that I put together? I might even do some of my actual potions, not just a kit, if there's a demand for it.

Let me know your thoughts; I've been thinking about this for the last few days and I just can't make a decision by myself.

In the meantime, here's some great Wiccan, pagan and magic items you might be interested in getting for free:

The Book of Runes by Ralph Blum would be great for those looking to make magic runes and learn all about rune casting.
