Simeon is confusing [ Edited ]

[siladris]

I'm also having this problem. My sim is a Neophyte and knows two Practical Magic spells and Simeon says he won't teach her because they don't know each other well enough even though they have a full bar and she knows his relationship status, employment status, and all three of his traits. He will teach her potions just fine, though.

Edit:  It must just be misdone text--my sim ranked up and he was happy to teach me another spell.

I feel like this is also the case for me- where the game is giving me an incorrect refusal message. I kept getting this message from the practical magic sage Simeon despite having a complete full friendship bar. Even when I restarted the game I would still get this message from him. When I advanced in spellcaster rank, I was able to ask him and successfully learn a new spell from him.

Not only do I have the same problem, the sage's icon also changes randomly to Bella Goth.

@Twikii You mean sometimes the sage is Bella or did Bella become a sage ? Did you click on her or did the message just display the wrong portrait ?

[Twikii]

@crinrict I clicked on the proper sim/sage, but the message displayed Bella's picture, Bella entered the room, and my sim and Bella did the animations for interacting, as though she was the one I'd been conversing with.

@Twikii Could you make a new thread for that ?

Did you have mods in at the time it happened ?

@Lumiasta I have the same issue my green bar is full with him but when I go to ask him to teach me more magic he won't and same for potions he just says I've learnt All can so I need to experiment

My sim and Simeon are BFs but he refuses to teach him practical magic

I found I had the notification explanation saying that they wouldn't teach me spells due to not being friends but it was really because I wasn't high enough skill. The notifications seemed off in my game, but this shouldn't be happening.
