This mod lets Spellcasters cast Duplicato on other Sims, instead of only being able to clone themselves.
In the unmodded game, Duplicato can only create a temporary clone of the caster. This mod adds a targeted version of the spell, allowing your Spellcaster to select another Sim and create a temporary clone of that Sim.
This is a small, focused mod based on an old deleted mod by Szemoka. I trimmed it down so it only affects Duplicato and does not include the other spell changes from the original mod.
Requirements:
- Realm of Magic
- XML Injector
Features:
- Cast Duplicato on other Sims.
Optional Expanded Realm of Magic Compatibility and Autonomy Patch
A separate optional package is included for players using Zer0’s Expanded Realm of Magic.
Zer0’s mod changes Duplicato clones into a more command-focused system, adding several new ways to control them. However, those clones also have very limited autonomy and may behave passively unless they are commanded.
This patch:
- Improves clone autonomy so Duplicato clones behave more naturally.
- Keeps the additional clone commands from Expanded Realm of Magic.
- Makes those commands available for clones created from other Sims.
- Allows normal social interactions and command interactions to coexist.
Important:
This package is separate from the main “Cast Duplicato on Other Sims” package.
Even though it was made as a compatibility patch, it can also be used separately if you only want to adjust Zer0’s Duplicato clone autonomy and interaction behavior. It does not add the ability to cast Duplicato on other Sims by itself.
Use this optional package only if you have Zer0’s Expanded Realm of Magic installed.
Compatibility Patch Installation:
1. Install Zer0’s Expanded Realm of Magic.
2. Place the compatibility package in the same folder as Zer0’s mod.
3. Make sure the compatibility package loads before Zer0’s package. The easiest way is to rename the compatibility package so it comes first alphabetically, for example by adding “0_” at the beginning of the file name.
If the patch does not seem to work, place it in an Overrides folder with the correct Resource.cfg priority setup, or check that no other package is overriding the same Duplicato clone resources.
Known Limitation:
Duplicato was originally designed to clone only the caster. When Duplicato is cast on other Sims, the clone may not be recognized exactly the same way as a clone of the caster. Because of that, the extra commands from Expanded Realm of Magic may not appear or may not work properly without this compatibility patch.

XML Injector is required for the interaction injection.
