Switcher cad?? NO transformers. NO saturable inductors. NO selection of ferrite core materials. NO selection of ferrite core sizes or shapes. WTF??

Serious engineers do exploit the transformer-modelling options in LTSpice. Robert Baer isn't all that serious, or he would have been able to find them on his own - and even he recognised that an analog circuit simulation program ought to be able to simulate the trickier features of real transformers and had enough sense to ask about them. Of course they do seem to have been too tricky for you to known about them in the first place. -- Bill Sloman, Nijmegen

Sounds a lot like life.There are a lot of common things that could be ready-to-go parts, that instead require you to enter .model statements or other directives, which is a minor nuisance.
