There also happened to be a crash that was occurring when exiting CAS in the middle of a spellcaster idle animation. It was an issue that required unlucky timing to trigger and we missed it during testing. T’was Dark Magic I say! The darkest of magics. Worry not, brave
Fixed in Patch 1.55.108
Good Luck

I have it to

This happened to me too. I created a new family for my witch line. Then went to the magic realm and edited Morgyn.. for ... uh... reasons. Tried to exit CAS. Game crashed. I hadn't saved my new household. I had a sad.
Work around, zoom in on the spellcaster's face right before exiting CAS. This stops all idle animations.

Not 100 % of the time for me but if I make a spell caster every now and then the game will crash lost a cool one I made yesterday tried my best to get her back

My original text from my original post:
"I'm having this really annoying problem with my game. I want to add a sim to my already existing household (via "manage world") but whenever I'm done creating it in CAS and press "Add to household" the game instantly crashes and the new sim I created is gone. How can I fix this issue? This wasn't a problem before the Realm of Magic DLC was released and I purchased it. It might be worth noting that both the sim that is already in my household and the new one that I'm trying to create are both occult sims (wizards). None of them were doing the spellcast animation when I pressed the "done-button". "

I had a similar problem, when I went into cas with my magician, it started lagging really bad when the spell casting animation played, then when I wanted to confirm my changes in cas the game crashed...

I haven't created a spellcaster in CAS. But I did try editing the existing spellcasters/Sage sims. And even though crinrit put on their website to wait for the animation to finish (as I did), the game still crashed on exiting CAS. So there is no workaround currently.

Just had my game crash also from this. No mods or CC, and my game never crashes.
