EARLY ACCESS: Auto Magic v0.8.3

Thanks to some more fantastic info and suggestions from my playtesters, I've made additional refinements to Auto Magic that I'm ready to share with you all! Most important are tighter restrictions on Chaos spell casting that should reduce overall frequency and eliminate the need to constantly repair your Sims' items, at least when they're at home.

What Changed in v0.8.3

• Object Zipzap should no longer be cast on residential lots. No more wrecking your own or your host's appliances, electronics and plumbing. Spellcasters themselves are still fair game targets for Zipzap regardless of location.

• Object Zipzap now requires a Chaos-affiliated trait the same as Sim Zipzap. It previously required none, so just about any Spellcaster could magically break objects.

• Chaos casting gate drops likes and preferences: Mean, Evil, Sage of Mischief or Sage of Untamed Magic only. Previously, Sims who liked Mischief or Pranks could also cast Chaos spells.

• Infatuate casting gate drops likes and preferences: Romantic, Lovebug or Sage of Mischief only. Previously, Sims who liked Flirting or Romantic interactions could also cast Infatuate.

Important Update Instructions

To ensure no loss of needed data, please update your mod files in the following order:

1. Download the file attached to this post and unzip the contents.

2. Move the as_raised_lods.txt file from your Auto Magic mod install folder to the v0.8.3 unzipped Auto Magic folder.

3. Delete the old Auto Magic files/folder from your Mods folder.

4. Move the new Auto Magic folder (with as_raised_lods.txt) into your Mods folder.

Then delete caches and restart. It shouldn't have a significant - or even noticeable - effect on your game's performance if you accidentally delete this file, but it is better to preserve it when updating the mod.

Try out v0.8.3 and let me know if your Spellcaster homes return to their previously peaceful state. You can comment here, or join the #early-access channel on my Discord server. Thanks again for following my Patreon and trying out my first Early Access mod! Happy Simming!
