@@piiptilter6114 TBF, that doesn't always happen. Like in this case they had 20k. But either way it's fun to base each generation on a theme/pack, encourages you to explore every part of the game. For me I don't buy a new pack until I've progressed onto the next generation. I'm currently on generation three, so it's saved me so much money lol. In saying that, it's my bday in a few weeks, so I'll probably buy myself an expansion pack around about then, probably eco lifestyle.
And he actually asked in one of his first episodes of LadysLife or Bigwallet Bakery when he was doing a generations challenge. He said that he never would... And 7-8 yeas later...
Thats how it should have been. Makin magic was like that and makin magic will still reign supreme for the best magic game the sims have brought out And it was their first damn magic game 🤦♀️
Morgyn: Are you sure you want to be a spellcaster? Column: *My mother is a mermaid, my father is an island elemental, and my grandfather is God.* Column: *I was BORN ready*
Did James not realize that while he was trying to get Column friends with L. Faba that half of the interactions he picked were mean interactions that lowered the relationship lmao
I was actually thinking that he might appear once university comes out... as an evil warlock who’s also going to college... I’m assuming James has some sort of plan for him honestly.
Talking about not having a bathroom reminded me of JK Rowling saying "Hogwarts didn’t always have bathrooms. Before adopting Muggle plumbing methods in the eighteenth century, witches and wizards simply relieved themselves wherever they stood, and vanished the evidence."
MJ Bridges I think it was meant as they still pulled their pants down to do their business then vanished away whatever they did on the ground, not in their pants...still weird though.
@@Yumimoon94 Yes thats what happened in most places, even big castles and palaces like Versailles, they would fine a shadowy alcove, corner, stairwell, and do the deed right there on the floor.
I happened to start Realm of Magic in winter as well, and I have to say, I kind of love winter in Glimmerbrook! Seems the right place to get cozy by a fire with a spell tome to study.
What’s up with these lazy aspirations in the new packs? I’m disappointed that “travel to the realm of magic” is one of the requirements. Becoming a spellcaster is an interaction and an easy fetch quest. Common gurus, you’re better than this.
Finding the motes definitely should have been more difficult. Would have been the perfect opportunity to force players to explore their new surroundings and for the devs to show off the world
What I especially don’t like is that there’s no explanation on why we need to find these “magical motes.” Like why am I going around finding these? There’s no actual reason given unless I’m missing it. It just seems like a stupid thing thrown in there so becoming a spellcaster isn’t completely immediate. Just seems lazy.
Whine whine whine. If no one said anything negative about this pack, everyone wouldn't love it BUT you heard something bad so everyone jumps on the bandwagon
I absolutely love seeing James play around with CAS and actually enjoying it, not worrying about if he`s doing it "right". I mean, it`s a fricking game, your supposed to have fun with it and expressing yourself. Initially the same goes for fashion (in rl), at least that`s how I see it. And seeing what he comes up with, even if it looks a bit silly (or exactly because of it) is so fun, too.
The potions are a bit random, as far as learning goes. At least for my sim! You can go back to the magical realm and ask each of the sages for a potion to learn which helps a lot faster, or you can click "experiment" on the cauldron and it'll help gain XP and sometimes you learn a new potion. I'm not sure if it's one of the perks or not, but you will also get ingredients for potions when you are experimenting with the cauldron. Hope that helps!
OMG I just laughed so hard at James' evil witch voice while Column was going to the portal for the first time. The Oop as she slipped in the snow just busted me up!
I love the idea that Plantain has literally no idea about Column’s evil magic-y activities, and that she is just oblivious to magic. Stuff being instantly clean? “Huh, that’s weird. Whelp. Back to what I was doing!” Sparkles around Ticket? “He must have gotten into some glitter!” It kinda fits in with her being the goofier of the sisters.
I wanted to have a potion store so badly and then just realized all potions cost 0 so I couldnt get benefit.. I was so upset, but gladly you found a mod that fixes it, so thank you thank you thank you ♥ For now, i was selling brooms, magic tomes and familiars, but i'll do some space for potions
James, you are the wizard, I prepared my dinner with thought that I really want to watch your Sims lets play and was sad that there is any of them now. And here we go, you posted like 1 minute ago. Just some pure magic.
6:45 "bruh the human controller James had my mom get lost on family vacation, dig sand for spoiled food and seashells, make kava parties to meet my ghost dad, be a mermaid for a hot min, open her store to support james' unhealthy column obsessions, have my parents make me, name me after his obsessions and have my mom forget me in my infanthood days, then him forcing me to max all my skills in toddlerhood and childhood in a freaking banana retail store and had me practise potion making as if my life depends on it - are you seriously asking if im ready?!"
Column: *I came from the farthest lands, powered through the harshest winters, and journeyed far beyond my own realm, and I demand that you-* Morgyn: Hold on wound you care for a lozenge? Column: *Oh yeah thank you* Column: Anyway I wanna be a spellcaster
@@NerdyHomosapian If you haven't seen it already, make sure to watch the 'Year in the Life' Netflix mini series. It's 4 new episodes they put out like last year, really ends things how it was originally supposed to end.
Drink that good fortune potion and then visit the Magical Realm's garden area for harvestables. You'll want an apple tree at home. Could just plant more in the magical garden area until it is spring at Column's home. Also, you should make Plahn Tayne either a spell caster with the spell caster aspiration studying mischief magic, or give her a "rabbit hole" career to make money and get her out of the way.
youre the first person to make me laugh and smile after a heavy anxiety attack. thank you for existing and creating good content james. i hope you have good karma coming to you 💜💜
I love the evil voice for Column! XD I also love that you're putting the same effort into this LP as you do with all your others! The other game changers I watch aren't doing full LPs or anything much with this game pack, so it's nice to see you making a whole generation of Bigwallets for this!
I like how James is all sarcastic, saying the portal is super easy to find, but it took me AN HOUR to find when I opened Realm for the first time. That's what I get for refusing to look at anything about it before opening it, I just wanted to be surprised ;-;
“and this is plahn tayne, she’s kind of a doofus, that’s her character”
cut to plahn tayne standing outside in the snow eating a piece of fruitcake she found on the ground
And she *liked* it!
Yep! Nailed it! Lol
While wearing an ugly Christmas sweater!
She’s on to something... the snow keeps it cool lol because forget the fridge lol
Such a Plahn Tayne move to do that!
"There's a fruitcake outside"
Don't call her that! Yeah she's a bit odd, but still...
You deserve more likes! 😂
😂😂
I laughed so hard
I lost it 🤣😂
I love how the Bigwallets is bascially a generation LP!
Without any of the boring rules!
Correction: With the very interesting rule of having every kid be sent away with 0 simelions.

am i the only one that has james’ videos in the background to help fall asleep ?? his voice is so soothing lmao
regina
No. I do that too.
I do it too!
I do too!
You’ve read my mind
The best part is when you start falling asleep and then he starts yelling at his sims 🤦🏼♀️
James willingly giving make overs to sims that aren't even his and enjoying it?
I know! Pretty soon he'll be enjoying CAS 😂
I fucking hate it
@@AnnK95 swore!
Is he alright? Someone needs to check his temperature.
everytime i see him in cas i'm like "wait am i dreaming?" lol
I'm honestly so excited when Max Power will become a spellcaster.
The Sim world will be doomed. Watch out Voldemort.
@@jessjess23brooks89 Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking!
I've just now caught up on his LP with Max. Took a lill over a year to watch all of his videos. Lol
I miss super sim! I have also caught up recently
first he’s gonna be a mermaid!
The pink-haired sage looks more like a ringmaster from a circus than a magician, in my humble opinion, but I'm 1000% okay with that.
she’s low-key pretty tho 😳😳
She’s Red-era Taylor Swift!
Kinda looks like Zatanna
When Semaj makes them look like magicians instead of witches or spellcasters 😂😂😂
Thats how it should have been.
Makin magic was like that and makin magic will still reign supreme for the best magic game the sims have brought out
And it was their first damn magic game 🤦♀️
@@MonstehDinosawr To be fair one of them looks like Zatanna
@@paselitoru the pack is still crap compared to Makin magic.
Its really say that all the occult packs since Makin magic have not been nearly as good.

Column: *I was BORN ready*
BloodyBraces is Semaj her grandfather?
@@bricy6437 yup
Did James not realize that while he was trying to get Column friends with L. Faba that half of the interactions he picked were mean interactions that lowered the relationship lmao
Doesn't matter, everything is already too easy
I think he forgot that she has the evil trait and so mean interactions show up on the quick select menu immediately, haha.
Was looking for this comment LOL
I was lol'ing, just watching him completely not notice XD
Now that James finally started Rags to Witches it feels like Realm of Magic is OFFICIALLY released, congrats to all of us! :D
L. Faba is a reference to Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West!
You could clearly tell he didn't get the reference of any of the sage's names x) classic James
@@Ella-jw6zc I clearly didn't get them either! Would you mind explaining them? I feel silly now :P
@@Qerynna Morgyn's surname is a reference to Merlin, IIRC.
@@AnimationPB Ahh, Morgyn Ember = Merlin/Myrddin Emrys, got it. Thanks :)
@@Qerynna I could be wrong, but that was my assumption. I'm not too good on pop-culture. I also read it like Morgan le fay.
Quick repost here: Brentnall from the sims 2 LP should be in this world as well! It would be sooo cool! :D
Yes!
Love this crossover idea. He will father the next Bigwallet XD
Yesss
Oh yes please! Brentnall needs to father the next generation of let's plays!
I was actually thinking that he might appear once university comes out... as an evil warlock who’s also going to college... I’m assuming James has some sort of plan for him honestly.
This Rags to Witches is going to be so much fun! But please replace the Magic HQ, it's really annoying how ugly and empty it is.
From what I heard, the Realm is not editable?? So sad
@@jennw6809 it is editable
Jenn W you have to type “bb.freeeditmode” while on the lot to edit it
@@cayteer bb.enablefreebuild is another way
@@jennw6809 You have to use console commands/cheats to edit it, but you can edit the HQ lot. You just can't change its lot-type (it remains generic)
Remember when James hated CAS? Now he edits random sims for fun.
Tatyana Imaan maybe next step will be downloading CC for cas
@@alexmoon066 oh my God, yes!
It's A Brave New World...
It's working out. Ticket is way better and his take on the sages is fun.
You gotta download lil simsie’s remodel of the magic school. Or just rebuild it. The base game version is so bland.
Jade Ainsworth agreed! lilsimsie's version is incredible
Is it the one posted almost a day ago?
@@MissRoux Yes
Agreed!
Plahn Tayne should be the test dummy for Column while she learns and experiments spells
Thats honestly wrong
Plantain
Column's inner voice is going to be the most crucial aspect of this series
So true!! 😂😂
Talking about not having a bathroom reminded me of JK Rowling saying "Hogwarts didn’t always have bathrooms. Before adopting Muggle plumbing methods in the eighteenth century, witches and wizards simply relieved themselves wherever they stood, and vanished the evidence."
Miriah Helen I’ve been trying to erase that info from my memory, I do not appreciate the reminder! 😰
MJ Bridges I think it was meant as they still pulled their pants down to do their business then vanished away whatever they did on the ground, not in their pants...still weird though.
@@Yumimoon94 Yes thats what happened in most places, even big castles and palaces like Versailles, they would fine a shadowy alcove, corner, stairwell, and do the deed right there on the floor.
Ivy99999 that’s what I figured before plumbing lol. That’s one of the reasons the plague spread so fast after all.
That’s so stupid I just imagine the sophisticated wizards shitting in place
I laughed much harder than I should when you did columns voice over while running to the portal 😂
Lucas Landheer same!
Benadryl Crumplebottom needs to be in this series, he is Dr Strange after all guys
U mean Dr.Interesting?
also known as Dr. Peculiar in sims
The evil witch voice is already my favorite thing in this let's play, hands down
Am I the only one who waited until James's Realm of Magic LP before watching anybody else's? 😂
Nope, me 2 😂
I did too 😅🤣
I did aswell 😂😂
Yep I waited!
Same!
I’m so confused but into this whole face cam/CAS-liking version of James. Though I think he might have been replaced by a Semaj clone :/
Honestly I was hoping for winter, it's so seldom that anyone starts their lps in that season and I really hoped you wouldn't change that. It's a vibe.
Your computer runs the game so nicely, it's just a pleasure to watch
Honestly makes me want to cry haha, mine is so aweful
Only James could create a witch Sim with such a magical, echo-y voice and a valley girl accent.
You made Morgan look like the pickpocket guy in Sims 2 😂
Hahahahahahaha best comment ever! You made my day because it’s so true!!!
@@WeronikaJoanna Glad I can make your day! Hope the rest is great! ❤️
Unsavory Charlatan XD
Morgan just needs a monocle to complete the look. XD
the way he says "yyyYYEEEEAAAASSSSzzzzz" in the yzma voice gets me every. single. time 💀
Also, I really like how this Lets Play starts in winter and the last one was summer! Time is passing! Love it
"Column, did you put your name in the goblet of fire!" he said calmly
at 7:45 i swear my dad walked in and told me to go to bed and you said “shut up dad!”
Oh god... 🤣🤣
HAYLEE did you survive hahaha
I don’t appreciate that this video is only 18:58 minutes 😭
I feel like Ticket should have more of a “beigy” color because both his parents were kinda orange
Nothing says, "I'm an evil witch" like goin' cloud gazing with someone who you think might make you powerful.
The female sage is named "L.Faba"?! Oh my, the Wicked-fan in me is singing! :D
elfhaba im glad i wasnt the only one who picked up on it!!!
I happened to start Realm of Magic in winter as well, and I have to say, I kind of love winter in Glimmerbrook! Seems the right place to get cozy by a fire with a spell tome to study.
OK Semaj voicing Banana's inner monologue is hilarious 😂🤣
it's so weird to see a house and 2 sims right off the bat I love it tho
Sims 3 World Adventures ❤️❤️ best expansion pack! I played it every time and still never completed all of the worlds!
Zoe Johnson same!
Plahn Tayne should work some silly job like try to be comedian to support her sister's magic habit...but never advance beyond level 3.
What’s up with these lazy aspirations in the new packs? I’m disappointed that “travel to the realm of magic” is one of the requirements. Becoming a spellcaster is an interaction and an easy fetch quest. Common gurus, you’re better than this.
It's almost as easy as the Island Living aspiratin "doze off while lounging" :'D
Seriously, I completed the potion one without ever using the cauldron...
Finding the motes definitely should have been more difficult. Would have been the perfect opportunity to force players to explore their new surroundings and for the devs to show off the world

Whine whine whine. If no one said anything negative about this pack, everyone wouldn't love it BUT you heard something bad so everyone jumps on the bandwagon
You can send ticket to forage for magical items and he'll bring back brooms and wands
I really like the fact that you gave them a house because otherwise you’d have to have 20 episodes before you can build a house
YASSSS!!! Clicked on this so fast!
Also.. totally left that Mac n Cheese behind! That cost $18 lol
It was poor quality anyways... so: not a big loss
It will be there when they go back
My food never goes bad and when I went back it was still there
Every time James does the “evil voice” my 2 year old starts laughing uncontrollably 😂👍
"I love how easy it is to find."
Well, you're gonna love this whole pack then
Here's a secret tip: Go to the basement of the Magic Realm HQ and look on the Fireplace mantel, you're welcome :)
This series is going to be magical. Make the other videos longer you evil witch.
I absolutely love seeing James play around with CAS and actually enjoying it, not worrying about if he`s doing it "right".

Who do you think would win in a wizard fight:
Gandalf, Harry Potter, Doctor Strange or Column Bigwallet
You're the KING of Rags To Riches SERIES 😂
Literally the only way I play haha
Literally sat on UA-cam all morning waiting for this notification to come up.
The voice kills me😂 when she slipped and fell at the beginning I lost it😂
Also, maybe a little thing between Column and Morgan........?
jeez the column voice overs kill me EVERY TIME
"yees, i am runni-- oop. ooh that's gotta hurt, my bottom, my bottom , my posterior" XD

Column is like the product of too much chill LOL so she has to be extra about everything
James: We'll teach you all the tricks.
Me: "They're not tricks, Michael, they're ILLUSIONS!"
Love James not noticing that Column and L. Faba have been fighting while he’s chatting. 💜💜💜
Column's voice is hilariously creepy. Sounds like she's been smoking since she was a fetus
I love the idea that Plantain has literally no idea about Column’s evil magic-y activities, and that she is just oblivious to magic. Stuff being instantly clean? “Huh, that’s weird. Whelp. Back to what I was doing!” Sparkles around Ticket? “He must have gotten into some glitter!” It kinda fits in with her being the goofier of the sisters.
I wonder if she will die like Brentonal? 🤔 Wholly crap, you should some how bring him into this story-line and make him husband for Column 👍
If you don’t name Column’s kids Mac and Cheese, I’m suing!
I couldn’t stop laughing when Column slipped while James was doing that witchy voice. 😂😩
I'm so excited for this series right here. I'm not an tropical island type of person, but I do love supernatural stuff immensely! Worth the wait.
omg wait, THIS HAS A FACE CAM!!
I love the evil voice, makes me giggle every time. Glimmerbrook looks so beautiful and magical in the snow :D
Visit every sage and learn 3 new potions every time you go to the Magical Realm.
Also learn three new spells each time...
Cay Reet yes! 👌I finished whole book in a few days. But James doesn’t seem to care about spells. Only potions.
On the other hand, the faster he learns everything, the faster this series will potentially end...
I wanted to have a potion store so badly and then just realized all potions cost 0 so I couldnt get benefit.. I was so upset, but gladly you found a mod that fixes it, so thank you thank you thank you ♥
For now, i was selling brooms, magic tomes and familiars, but i'll do some space for potions
I freaking love the evil voice!!!! I laugh so much when you talk like that ahahaha love it!!
and here I am to see how Reginalds story started xD
Haha, same 😆
Note to self: NEVER watch James play The Sims while drinking coffee.
Almost spit my coffee when Column was runnin and fell down 😂😂😂😂😂
James, you are the wizard, I prepared my dinner with thought that I really want to watch your Sims lets play and was sad that there is any of them now. And here we go, you posted like 1 minute ago. Just some pure magic.
PLEASE continue on the Bigwallet bloodline by having Column steal someone’s firstborn
I love how much fun James seem to be having with this series already. I mean, using CAS and having fun? And the voice modulator has me cracking up!
I was wondering if you are ever gonna do more on rags to riches EXTREME? Just wondering coz it’s my favourite videos of yours (love your videos) 👌🏻💜
Also James thank you for not putting ads throughout your videos- it’s super refreshing😎😎

The voiceover of Column as a witch falling in the snow is literally the best thing I've heard in a long time!

Morgyn: Hold on wound you care for a lozenge?
Column: *Oh yeah thank you*
Column: Anyway I wanna be a spellcaster
While living in Glimmerbrook, I've noticed that there is often mysterious weather, so it may not always be frosty during the winter.
Love how The Sims 4 posted about Glimmerbrook in winter on their insta and your game is in winter 😂 Love you, James!!!
Can a Vampire be a Spellcaster?
If so then I shall DEFINITELY create Garry Vampotter. LOL!
@2:11 is that the Gilmore Girls house?! I would love to see some Stars Hollow characters as townies in this LP!

Also. I love that this new LP is a whole new type of rags to riches. Shaking things up for the fans!

James clearly has discovered CAS for himself.
James, you can just go to a cauldron and select 'experiment', you don't have to cloud gaze with the sages to learn potions xD
4:50 Does the woman remind anyone of Colubia (Rocky Horror show)? or is it just me?
I enjoyed this episode! Can't wait for more of this LP, but i wish the episodes were a touch longer? Like 30 minutes instead of 18?
Thank you for the arrow pointing to the witch in the thumbnail, I’m not sure I would’ve noticed her if you hadn’t
