It isn’t confirmed by the available official instructions whether a child Sim can get a familiar. EA explains how Sims bind and summon familiars in The Sims 4: Realm of Magic, but its guide does not specify which ages can use them.
What EA confirms about familiars
EA’s Realm of Magic beginner’s guide says Sims can find or purchase familiars at Casters Ally. To use one, the player binds its Familiar Orb from the Sim’s inventory, then clicks the Sim to summon the familiar. EA describes familiars as protective entities.

EA’s instruction is: “With the Familiar Orb in your Sim’s inventory, bind them to your Sim by clicking on the orb itself.” The guide uses the general phrase “your Sim”; it does not say whether a child Sim is eligible.
How to bind and summon a familiar
- Find or purchase a familiar at Casters Ally and get its Familiar Orb.
- With the orb in the Sim’s inventory, click the orb to bind the familiar.
- Click the Sim to summon the bound familiar.
These are EA’s documented steps for familiars. They do not establish that the steps work for every age group.

Neither EA’s guide nor the Steam listing provides an age-eligibility chart or directly answers whether a child Sim can bind or summon a familiar. The general wording “your Sim” is not enough to confirm child eligibility. The available information also does not establish a workaround, cheat, mod, or requirement that a Sim be a Spellcaster.
