Magician (NPC)

$$

Magicians were originally planned as a Service NPCs for parties in The Sims 3 but were scrapped off the game's final stages. They can be either male or female and are attired in black suits with red vests, white gloves and top hats. They were re-introduced into the base game after the release of The Sims 3: Showtime expansion pack.

Background
They were originally planned as Service NPCs for parties in The Sims 3, but developers removed their service before it was released. However, they were re-introduced following patch 1.8.25, so traces of them can still be found in the game. Because their services were still not included in any expansion packs at the time, they can only be seen wandering around the park in the afternoon hours for a brief time.

It is difficult to interact with them, because they tend to vanish just before a Sim reaches them. This does not always happen, and it is possible to talk to a Magician in the park. In earlier patches, it was reported that there were glitches surrounding the offspring of Magicians, but now they have been fixed.

Following the release of The Sims 3: Showtime expansion pack, Sims are able to become magicians through the Magician career track.
