New premium content has arrived on The Sims 3 Store – Lady Ravendancer Goth’s Book o’ Spells. Soooo….anyone want to bite the bullet and let us know what all it does? I mean, the description helps – I’m just curious on how it plays out 😛 I am not able to purchase it at this time.
Huge thanks to Philip for the email!
Facts about this object (via the Sims 3 Forums)
- Costs $72,000 simoleans
- Filed under Misc. Entertainment/Skills
- Click on it, the option is “Learn Spell”
- Spell options are: Summon, Enchant, Summon Animale, Summon Acquainted and Mood Elevatus.
- Part of a bigger set – the Gothique Library
Hmm, ok so it looks like when you are learning a spell you get a Making Magic moodlet that lasts for 3 hours. you can only cast spells while that moodlet is active, otherwise you have to go back to the book to “review” the spell.
I had my sim learn “Unleash Animale”
Which put a “curse” on his poor unsuspecting fiance in the background reading the paper. It’s a 12 hour negative moodlet, and she sussequently peed her pants.
Edit- LOl I got a message in my upper right corner saying to curse a whole room was “rude” and that everyone will be acting like animals as long as the curse is active. Unleash Animale…I guess it makes sims act like animals.

This sounds like one of the objects described in that survey about possible future Store items that showed up awhile back. I think it mentioned a library with a spellbook in it.
it is, indeed 🙂
It must be part of the upcoming Gothique Library lot (expensive, from what I’ve heard).

Oh, duh… didn’t bother reading half of the post.
Can someone PLEASE upload it to megaupload or something like that? I don’t have anymore simpoints…
how do we install store items from megauploud and such? I spend so much on expansion packs why should i have to spend more to get this?
You just double-click on it when you download it. -.-
Please someone tell me that this is just a minor add on and not EA’s excuse to say Magic HAS been added to the main series…..
Otherwise, I’ll pretend I never learnt about this set….
Since it’s being talked about, please don’t post any links to items/sets uploaded illegally to Megaupload or any other site.
It’s nothing really special. There are two spells that gives moodlets (bad or good), one that is doing nothing (Enchant – you can use it only on the Book o’Spells) and two similar spells (Summon/ Summon Acquaintance) that actually do have some usability. There is also a new animation that comes when you are cursed (Unleash Animale). At some point it will become boring because the curse is for 12h and your sim is itching himself/herself almost constantly.
Okay, fair point, but it is a nasty idea I can’t drop that they will add Magic solely through the store…
sims can not learn the magics. is it bug ?
i click on it and learn a magic. they do not do it
how could you do it.
My sims can learn it.
@hans, you probably need to update your game in order for it to work.
think of this as a test to see how magic would work in The Sims 3 and with The Sims 3 Game Engine. Also a test to see how many people have an interest in Magic. Another thing, this might be a precursor to that Enchanted Forest World being added to the store. remember? that survey/poll on their site earlier this year? or was it late last year? keep an eye on the store.
I had the same problem… i’ve found a fix .package on the net… and it worked like a charm ^^,
Just google it !
My sims can’t learnt spells !!!
Sim unfortunately can not learn spells when I learn a new spell, for example, recall the sim it repels further! I do not know what can be!
Or something else is needed to make it work?
Where I found this Makin; Magic moodlet ?
I haven’t got magic books
after you learn a spell, you have to have the “Makin’ Magic” moodlet in order to use a spell. If your Sim doesn’t have it, study the book again and that will re-activate the moodlet.
my game is updated and wherever i download the magic book or the library it will not let me install it….. any sites that have worked
im havin the same problem with dexio, my sims just repels somehow 1 meter away from the book when i try to learn a spell. anybody knows how to fix this? help pls. thanks.
after you learn a spell, there’s an option to review spells when you click on the “Lady Ravendancer Goth’s Book o’ Spells”. Do this and your Sim will get the Makin’ Magic moodlet. You have to try to do a spell a few times before it finally works for the first time.
Hi I look foor author this fix for spell book. Davy if you know who is author of this fix ??
apologize for mistakes but, I can’t English too much
My sim can’t even learn spell! it doesnt let my sims do that. i already installed the spell book and succeed but my sims wont do that! Why!!???
I am having the same issue as you, Khanh. It just like, moves her and she goes on to do something else.
Me too, my Sims doesn’t learn any spell. She only “jumps” 1 meter of the book 🙁
There is a link to the package to fix the spell book here:

Stryse : Thank you so much ! 😀
@theblackscorpion
why are you saying that we shouldn’t post a LINK to megaupload…..i mean…if someone doesent have that amount of sim points and wants a spellbook it would be helpful if you post the link wouldn’t it?
Venyo – I would love to post links for users to get Sims Store files as my personal opinion is that the store is a complete ripoff. However, due to the host providers rules and regulations, I can’t allow it to happen.
