Incompatibilities:

Mods to remove the situation outfit for the Sages; this one already does it.

Technical Stuff:

This mod was inspired by Merkaba's Sages in Hoseholds.

It evolved from there and no longer has anything in common with the initial mod. Merkaba's mod allows you to add the Sage to your household by removing the tag "is NPC only" from the Sages' traits, but the Sage role is not controlled by the traits; the trait is only used by the filter to select the Sims to put in that role; the role is controlled by a Situation Job. Because the player can never take on this role, when you visit the HQ with a Sim having the Sage trait, you are never really the Sage. To make this work, I had to force the game to give them the role and the Sage bonus when they visited the HQ.

USAGE

Click on a Sim already having the Sage trait to keep or give up on the Sage role, you can give the Sage role from the cheat menu.

The Sage role is automatically kept, you can toggle it off with "Leave the Sage Role":

Once you spawn in the Realm, if you're lucky, you're the Sage:

The game fills the roles during the loading screen, and most of the time it is so fast in giving the role to an NPC that your Sim can't get it on spawning, for this reason the mod includes an OPTIONAL FILE meant to completely stop the game from generating and assigning the Sage role to random Sims.
