One reason Apartment Life looked so appealing was the ability to use magic, but it is so annoying to have Sims gasping every time they go by. Is there a way to remove that "shock" action that Sims show when a witch or warlock walks by, as well as the "Be Cured of Witchiness/___ is Cured of Witchiness" wants? After making my Sim couple both learn magic, they seem to always want the other to be cured of something I am quite fond of. I've looked over MTS2 and a few other sites- even looking at the tutorial section of MTS2, but found nothing evident of that "shock" behavior. If I remember correctly, the shock also happens for Vampires, Zombies, and probably any 'fantasy'-based life forms (I've only played those 3). Can this behavior be helped?

Is this house compatible for those without Apartment Life EP? I would so love to have this masterpiece, but don't have AL yet x-x; I'm noticing a lot of nice houses need that EP more and more these days ; ;
