Iām so excited to finally share this mod with you all! When Realm of Magic was announced and we knew we were getting some variation of witches and magic, I knew I would be creating this lifestate. So, from the cult 90s show, Charmed, I give you my own sims version of Whitelighters!Ā
Whitelighters are the protectors, guides, and magical healers of the world. They are able to adopt humans, as well as any occult creatures, as their āChargesā to protect and watch over. Once the Whitelighter-Charge bond is formed, a number of interactions and abilities are unlocked!Ā
Letās break down all the aspects of this mod~
The Elder Crystal is a special object found in Buy Mode. Itās a source of magic energy that allows you to summon the Elders, a group of powerful and experienced Whitelighters that are able to grant their powers to certain humans. If they are summoned and they trust your human sim enough, the Elders will allow them to become a Whitelighter too! Alternatively, if you arenāt looking to become one of them, you can also request to be assigned a Whitelighter who will become your protector.
*Before you can be assigned a Whitelighter, there has to be at least one placed somewhere in the world, so you will need to create one first or add one with cheats.
A Whitelighterās ability to protect is dependent on their Guardian skill. This is a small 5 level skill that is based on the ranks similar to Vampires and Spellcasters. It is a fairly easy skill to progress and provides extra powers.
Healing - Whitelighters are able to heal their Charges of any ailments, or injuries if you have the Extreme Violence Mod, and cure their Charge of certain curses if they are a Spellcaster. This also includes sicknesses, injuries, and curses from other packs as well.
Orbing - Orbing is the ability to teleport from one place to another in the form of bright blue light. All Whitelighters can orb and can also orb with their Charges if they are close enough! Charges can also call for their Whitelighter and they will orb to their side no matter the time of day.
Summon Elders - Whitelighters can summon a few Elder sims to their lot for a chat or to resign from their responsibilities if they wish. These Elders can also grant more powers to Whitelighters who are skilled enough.
Whitelighters have a variety of social interactions with their Charges such as āOffer Life Adviceā and āLecture About the Greater Goodā. Also, if the Charge is a Vampire or some other occult, they will have some special interactions as well.
Heal Plant - If a plant has withered and died, a Whitelighter at this level can revive it back to health.
Restore Object - The ability to heal is also extended to inanimate objects! If an object is broken, Whitelighters at this level can restore it back to perfection.
Power Training - If a Charge is a Vampire, Sea Witch, or Spellcaster, they will be able to train with their Whitelighter. This will build Vampire XP, Sea Sorcery skill, and Spellcaster XP, respectively.
Magical Boost - If their Charge is a Spellcaster and practicing magic or dueling another Spellcaster, a Whitelighter will be able to boost them. This reduces the Spellcasterās charge need, protects them from overcharging, and gives them a focused buff!
Reviving Burst - If a sim has died, a Whitelighter at this level can release a powerful blast of healing energy that will force the Grim Reaper to bring them back to life. Beware, however, as a revived sim can sometimes acquire a certainā¦ darknessā¦ from being brought back to life.
Become an Elder - Once Whitelighters max out the Guardian skill, they are able to be initiated as an Elder if they choose. All they need to do is summon the Elders and ask to be initiated. This will unlock more powers and reduce their Magic Energy dependency!
Becoming an Elder has several benefits, including the ability to grant or strip away Whitelighter Powers, conserve Magic Energy much easier, wear ceremonial robes that keep it fully charged, as well as immortality! And as an Elder, you can still protect charges and use all the powers of a Whitelighter.
Shadow Demons are sims that have been brought back from the dead with the Reviving Burst, but were overtaken by darkness and turned evil. These creatures are able to take the form of a dark cloud of smoke to torment others and infect them with darkness, while being completely immune to death in this form. They can apparate, which is their equivalent to a Whitelighterās orbing power, and they are immortal. Anyone except for Whitelighters and Elders can become a Shadow Demon, including all occult types.
***While in their Shadow Form, these sims will only be clickable from a small texture that can be seen from below or while they are sitting in a chair. It is fairly easy to find this spot if your camera is at floor-level. This is the only way to open the pie menu to change back to demon form!
Thatās all for now, but just like my other mods, I have more plans for this and I have some other features that will be added at a later date. Let me know what you all think of this and Iāll consider any suggestions for improvements or features! :)
This mod uses only XML tuning and shouldnāt conflict with any other mods!
*Requires Realm of Magic game pack!
