After acquiring a mystic ally in “The Sims 4 Realm of Magic,” the first step is to establish a connection by selecting it in your Sim’s inventory and choosing the “Bind Familiar” option. Your new companion will then need a name, which you can decide on your own or go with the given default.
Renaming Your Enchanted Companion
Should the name of your companion no longer resonate with you, renaming them is a simple task. Just select the ‘Rename Familiar’ from the familiar’s menu to bestow a new moniker.
Calling Forth Your Mystic Ally
Activating the companionship of your mystic ally is a trouble-free process. Access the Magic sub-menu under your Sim’s actions, and then the Familiar menu to call your bound familiar to your Sim’s side. If a change of heart occurs, you can unbind and store your ally back into the inventory with ease.
