Christmas came to Forgotten Hollow, and for some reason Wilbica assumed she had been a good girl deserving of a present. Father Winter preferred not to argue about it, however, remembering what Wilbica's mother did to him the last time he refused to open his bag for her...
But he didn't even meet Aya this time because the old hag was busy terrorising Sulani! Right now the Devil only knows what kind of evil spells she cast on that volcano, but chances are the inhabitants of this island shall find out soon enough...
Meanwhile, her son spent the afternoon at the bar, using a mixture of his fame, guitar skills and vampiric charm to woo an entire room! He has never been superficial, you know, he doesn't care about your looks, gender or ethnicity, because what really matters to him is what's inside of you - namely, your blood!
By the way, there's a new member in the family now. My fellow evildoers, meet Leviathan Hytide!
He's a merman that our most famous vampire picked up at the bar with the intention of sucking him dry because he was curious about the taste of mersim blood. But after watching Leviathan summon a thundery calamity out of nowhere just because he was bored, he figured an evil merman would be a most useful addition to the family.
[Natla voice] And so it ends... for today! But don't think yourselves save just yet. Sooner or later the Mamminis might come knocking on your door, too - and now there's four of them!
@sarabeth2984
You are going to see tons of Antoniette in this update. I hope she won´t disappoint you.
It would be great for Alexandre to fall in love again, once I figure out who he might like, because at the moment I have zero idea. Antoniette used to be his everything for a very long time (and it hurt very bad to learn that she never really felt the same way), it might take him a while before he will even start to consider dating again.
@AlwaysAsking
I just can´t get over how handsome your young Diego looks! I fear I am starting to develop a soft spot for him too I really need to find him someone nice to settle down with. Not Gunther though, since Adelaide would disapprove having her fiance stolen and we can´t have that.
Getting votes is not really as difficult as I make it sound, just really tedious. First you need to debate politics - if they share your affiliation, you can ask them to vote for you right away and they usually agree; if they don´t, you need to make friends with them first and promote your politics before they would agree to vote for you. I will get to it next time I play him - whenever it happens, because right now I have my hands full with magic and I haven´t even started to set up the stage to tell the story of how Antoniette, Alexandre and a certain someone whose connection to them will be revealed in this update came to be who they are and where they are today. It will take place over a hundred years in the past, so it needs lots of preparations.
Romeo as a spellcaster? I am so used with it as a vampire that I can´t even picture it, so it would be really interesting to see how he will do in a different universe. It is Lucrecia whom I can picture as a spellcaster, not having magic in the game yet was the main reason she ended up being a vampire to begin with. Who knows, she may still become one.
Antoniette has a bad tendency to take everything to extreme. Your sister threatens to reveal your whereabouts to your evil mother - murder her, your lover is reluctant to marry you - seduce someone else and vanish for a century, you are no longer satisfied with your family life - abandon your kids and never talk to them again. She really needs to learn to chill a bit, the world is not black and white.
Her older kids will still love her, no matter what. It was bit of a shock for them to learn that she is a witch - something she had never mentioned before, but they will come around, especially Adaline and Aedion. The younger ones are a more complicated matter, she wants to have them with her but she can´t hurt Alexandre even further by taking them away from him. So they won´t probably be around much until they get older.
Alexandre is not going to have easy time reconsidering his life, because Antoniette had very much impinge on his dreams, wishes and the person he is. To move on, he needs to try and remamber who he used to be before he fell prey to her charms.
Antoniette can - and will - do many things. Stay tuned!
@DoodlyDoofus
I think I know which mod you mean. I will check it out.
After months of putting it off, I finally installed MCCC. Now Anastassia remembers that she has a father again and Amara is officially Jocelyn´s mother, so that the game won´t force her to hang out with her biological mother, who gave her up on birth (I really hated seeing them at restaurants together, because they have never even talked with each other, but as they were still related, the game loved to force them to play family). I see now why MCCC is getting so much praise, because it is brilliant.
But back to Antoniette...
Antoniette´s first few days back at Glimmerbrook were rather depressing. Not only was she still feeling bad about the divorce, after decades of living in Oasis Springs, she had forgotten how cold and dark it can get in Glimmerbrook. (one of the things she really enjoys about being free to use her magic again is that she will never have to cook again, as she always found it very tedious)
At least she still had Ember for company, who was also feeling down, since she had no one to scare
Vlad, you came knocking on wrong door, we are not interested in what you are offering
But enough moping, time to get your groove back
Someone might have gotten a bit rusty with time
(I changed Gemma Charm´s hair and clothes, she looks surprisingly good in blue)
Do you need glasses?
Not that she really was looking for a book to begin with, rather than someone who is never too far from books...
Antoniette: "Hello, stranger, long time no see."
Morgyn: "A hundred years, you mean? What are you even doing here - you made it rather clear the last time that you are never coming back."
Antoniette: "Did you miss me?"
Morgyn: "You know I did."
Antoniette: "So let it be. I am not in the mood to discuss it tonight. I need some air - can we go somewhere more private?"
Morgyn: "Are you really back for good?"
Antoniette: "I saw the world - you were right, it is not a good place for people like us. But dn´t you dare to say "I told you so" or I will set you in fire."
Morgyn: "As if you can beat me in a duel."
Antoniette: "We´ll see it. But no more talking tonight."
Can I say that I hate spellcasters HQ? It is awfully bland and really needs some doors for privacy. Here´s Darrel Charm who agrees with me, as he had misfortune to walk in on something really not meant for his eyes that scarred him for life
Adaline decided to come to live with Antoniette to become a witch
Though it is possible that she missed Ember more than her mother
It took her some time to master the delicioso spell, her first attempts ending in rotten food, but in the end she got it right Adaline is learning pracctical magic, as she has no desire to set people in fire or torture them in any other way. Which is ironic, since she became good friends with L.Faba on her second visit to the magical realm.
Antoniette and Morgyn went on a date to catch up some more
As much as they were able to talk, with random people constantly getting into their personal space
There was literally a free table right there, but nope, gotta sit here
Umm, Artur Climate, if you don´t like something, you are free to get lost?
(It was some really horrendous singing. It is a good thing that neither of them tries to make a living with music, because they would sure starve)
Oh look who´s there, Antoniette´s ex-husband who loathes Morgyn and would surely be thrilled to hear that it took Antoniette three whole days to fall back to the bed with him
But Alexandre was spared of death by rage, because the date ended, and after saying goodbye about trice, only to change his mind and go back to kissing his once again girlfriend, Morgyn remembered that he has a job he needs to return to.
After he left, Antoniette entertained herself with setting the trash can on fire
Few days later, Antoniette was feeling blue because Morgyn had not called and as she´d been busy with work and visits from her children, she hadn´t been able to visit him either.
She´d grown too used with having someone whose world spins around her, but Morgyn had a life of his own and could not spend every waking moment with her. It made her miss easier time, several murders and over a hundred years ago, when it had felt that they had an ethernity. But that world was long gone, they had both made their choices and had to live with the consequences now.
To cheer her up, Adaline suggested that they attend to the humor festival.
Antoniette met Diego Lobo, who was feeling even more miserable than her
But while she can´t cast a spell on herself to make her worries go away, she could cast one on him
Here you go (the lucky lady is a really pretty spellcaster Antoniette met on the magical realm, possibly one of the most beautiful game-generated sims I have even gotten. I really regret not taking a better pic of her)
For some reason, this lady had decided to attend to the festival naked
Andrey, are you okay?
Later on, Antoniette came across her little grandaughter Madeline. The poor child was sad, tired and needed a new nappy - and her parents were nowhere to be seen.
So Antoniette did what good grandmothers do and took her home.
She yelled on Antony, who argued that he had not been the one to lose Madeline, as he had been at home with Nala the whole time, helping her do her homework
Since Antoniette was already there, she spelled up some food and chatted with Nala. After two hours, Andrey and Angelique finally got home to be yelled on by Antony, who had not appreciated being accused on something he had not done.
Antoniette did much better on her next duel
Emilia is great, I have no idea what she sees in someone like Darrel.
Adaline adopted another cat to keep Ember´s company while she and her mother were away doing their witch stuff.
Spark and Ember got along just great
Morgyn met Ember, who surprisingly did not attack him as she attacks most people she comes across
He also learnt that his new friend Adaline, whom he had bonded over books, is his girlfriend´s daughter. It made a rather uncomfortable scene
Adaline: "So how long have you known my mother?"
Morgyn: "Since we were teenagers."
Adaline: "You are the same age? I thought that Sages were supposed to be ancient? Who did you kill to become one?"
Morgyn: "I am not answering to this question."
Antoniette to rescue. She started to flirt with Morgyn, promply scaring Adaline away
(Adaline tends to get mad at her mother and siblings for as much as hugging each other,unflirty sims are funny like this)
Antoniette woke up one morning to a surprise - Spark and Ember had had three kittens. They now had five cats
(Antoniette, I know that you aren´t a fan of books, but I am pretty sure that they aren´t held that way)
(poor Adelaide is having war flashbacks about being attacked by Ember)
(Spark was eating rotten food that had already made him sick. But as it was his rotten food, he attacked Ember when she wanted to eat it too. Cats. )
I am starting to get worried about Antoniette´s tendency to autonomously try to get her daughters killed. First she convinced Adaline to go streaking while it was freezing outside (twice), now she did the same to Adelaide during a thunderstorm, causing her to be striken by lightning. Maybe it´s better that she stays away from her younger children.
As Aedion could not live with Adaline having something he doesn´t, he decided that he was going to follow her footsteps in witchcraft. She tried to talk him out of it, as using magic will cause his vampire powers to stop developing, meaning that he will never be able to achieve protection against sunlight or any other powers. But Aedion told her that he hated vampiric training and had only been doing it to keep Catarina and Fiametta out of trouble. He was an adult now and had the only power he had wished to gain - the bat form, so there was no reason for him to continue with it. Being able to walk in the sun was not everything - Catarina´s husband, for example, could not, and he was still living a good life.
What Aedion wants, Aedion gets. Right now it was being promply defeated by his little sister
At least he made friends with the kittens I will have to find them new home soon, because as much as I hate parting from them, five cats are too many to handle.
Next time: Antoniette is possibly going to kill someone

The life of my sims. Elina & Don.
Miss Hell took a look around, while waiting for Aine to take a decision..
and she surely has a lot of garlic...
did you have some bad experience with vampires in the past...
or... are you just a bit paranoid?!
she can use this paranoia....
and she wanted her to take a decision... so she told her...
"why don't we go there, so you can talk to him yourself?"
and she convinced her to follow... throught the portal...
and into the realm...
but as soon as they entered the building...
she disappeared behind her...
and while Aine was coming upstairs...
she took control of Morgyn's mind...
so when she arrived.... instead of being happy to see his mentor...
he made fun of her.
this convinced Aine that Miss Hell was right...
when he came back to himself... he didn't understand what was going on...
and he tried to keep calm...
but Aine didn't want to listen...
Missy was enjoying all of this, so much...
they ended up having an argument that no one won...
there was only one way to settle things down...
I never saw Missy so happy!
careful Morgyn, 'cause I'm going to remove you from your position if you lose...
and he... lost.
but you're still so fierce, aren't you?!
you never bend your head in front of anyone...
and Missy likes it... because the more you're like this, the more she wants to break you.
so, with Aine back in power, Morgyn was banned from the realm...
and he left...
in a very angry way...
but Miss Hell was not satisfied, yet...
and it was still night... so she summoned some of her offsprings...
and told them to feast on the mages blood...
they ran away...
but you can never really ran away from vampires...
Ulrike cannot really defent herself with her magic, so he used his...
to freeze them...
but Miss Hell was not going to let them ran away...
there is something she still don't get...
and he's going to show her...
that vampires are strong, but not immune...
to the power of nature.
do you get it now?
he had Miss Hell ran away, in panic...
Ulrike got to safety as soon as the lightning shower started, and reached for him to try and calm him down...
with... not much success...
maybe is better to leave him alone for a while...
Missy, I think you cast upon yourself an enemy you cannot manage.
@SiliClone , oh dear. Miss Hell is terrifying! I'm glad Morgyn was able to stand up to her - she might have vampire powers, but you don't mess with (former?) Sages! (Also, can I ask where Morgyn's dangly earrings are from in that other outfit? I checked Trillyke's stuff and they didn't have them.)
@TheLastStar , gorgeous Sages, I love Ekundayo's look!
@Becka28 , Dee Why, Engadine, Earlwood, Clovelly, Darlinghurst, Drummoyne? Hi, neighbour! (For future names, Bronte sounds good. Sutherland could make a good surname, and Camden sounds pretty!)
@ldmarko , the kitten looks very unsure about Hallie!

@ldmarko , the kitten looks very unsure about Hallie!
I got them from Tumblr I think... I'll see if I can track them down, it's not much I have them in my folder.
@Becka28 Haha the love of my life is cheesecake too Don't tell my husband lol I would love playing all these sims in the future. I want to save them all to my library. Hopefully there's no limit to my library because if there is I will be sad.
@AlwaysAsking Today my son took off his shorts and a dirty diaper in the bathtub and was running around naked with a dirty rear. I had to clean up the bathtub and decided it was a good time for a bath lol. I have a teenage step daughter she's 14. My oldest biological daughter is 4 so that's a 10 yr difference. Hopefully they always have a good relationship. I have a 14 yr old, a 4 yr old, and a 1 1/2 yr old.
So to explain a little bit I had handwritten notes with stats for each of my sims traits/aspirations for every challenge I did, but handwritten notes are a pain, at least for me because I have kids that invade my desk and color on things. So I dug out the notes for my old legacy and started again. But now I'm making documents on my computer to store the information I need. And since the game FINALLY has a randomized trait dice thing I don't need to use legacy trait generator thing. This thing
One of the reasons I went back to this legacy is because I was half way through it and I've only ever completed ONE LEGACY. I want there to be a second one. Going back to this gets me closer. I will still play the newer legacy save and the 100 baby challenge. I'm just going to jump around to each one as I get bored.
So this legacy had a naming theme on Pretty Little Liars. It took me forever to watch all of the PLL episodes. It was amazing. I really want to read the books the show was based on. The problem is I probably had somewhere written down possible names for the legacy children but I don't know where it would be. I don't know how well I remember the characters and I've used a lot of the names so far. So in the future I might be using the actor/actresses names instead of their character names.
My only completed legacy had a Game of Thrones naming theme and somehow after 10 generations I still had unused character names. lol
My founder was Spencer Hastings she was my favorite PLL character.
She was a home wrecker and convinced Mortimer to divorce Bella and shack up with her. Together they gave birth to generation 2.
I won't go over every single generation, let's jump into the current gen.
This is Paige. Side note: My son in real life would have been named Paige if he were a girl.
She's a spare.
This is Lucas and he is my heir.
I picked him because he rolled an aspiration I had not done before. World Famous Celeb.
Paige managed to set fire to the grill IN THE RAIN
Apparently none of them knew how to use a fire extinguisher.
I guess I picked the right person for heir because he was the only one who stepped up and put out the fire.
Generation 5 heir is now an elder.
His name is Garrett he had the jungle explorer aspiration and his wife had the archaeology aspiration. They both completed them.
If your interested here's the previous generations:
Gen 1
Spencer and Mortimer
Gen 2
Alison and Zeke
Gen 3
Ezra and Aili
Gen 4
Melissa and Greg
Gen 5 *currently elders*
Garrett and Kelsie
@ryttu3k hello back at you neighbour 🙂.
So far i have used bondi (only 1 in b generation), clovelly, coogee, camden and cabarita). I am tryimg to avoid suburbs I have actually lived in with one or two exceptions. I agree with you; Camden was such a nice sounding name I couldn't resist it. I seem to have a fondness for beachy places so it was also a good change of setting. Melbourne has some awesome names too. I would love to name a sim Glenelg. Need a different legacy for that.
@DarkAngel1994 the proposal in the park was stunning. The snow made it so magical looking.
@Simmelina1 love your purple skinned girls. I keep wishing i will get special aliens but mostly they are green, pale blue or white.
@Becka28 , "Yeah, Mum named me after a palindrome." "Oh, 'Hannah'?" "No, Glenelg -_- " I think so long as you avoid, like, Rooty Hill or something, you should be good And oops, didn't realise you were going alphabetically! How about Eveleigh? That'd be lovely.
Awkward? teen night on the town. All five of the kids, now teens, in the house went out for the first time. It was a holiday. Food and drinks were free.
Dysis and Darius wasted no time, confidently walked to the bar, and ordered non-alcoholic drinks. Dyna followed, making sure to scope things out first.
Even though Dysis is very interested in money, she’s also down-to-earth. She wanted to stay comfortable, so she wore her overalls and a plain white t-shirt.
Darius was feeling super cute and handsome, so he took a thousand selfies.
Some B-list adult celebrity tried to chat Delmarya (Deli) up as she ordered her Plasma Jane. Deli avoided eye contact.
Dysis tried to swoop in and rescue her sister from the failure of a conversation, but the B-lister told Dysis to get lost, and turned his back to her. The normally confident kid didn’t know how to react to that.
Oblivious and in the background, Darius spent his club time showing his twin (Dyna) the thousand selfies he took.
Still oblivious to what was going on with the B-lister, Darius then dragged Dyna out to look at the stars on Starlight Boulevard.
It was an aspirational journey down the sidewalk for him. He studied his eldest sister’s star (Aster’s star) and thought, I can get one of these.
Back at the house, Deli deleted the odd B-list celebrity from her memory and approached her father because she had more important things to handle. Deli needed his help.
Deli had been thinking a lot and at the moment she was feeling that maybe being a vampire was something she could accept. She figured that if she got stronger and overcame her sun allergies, it might not be such an awful, weird thing. It might even help her get closer to her father.
Of course, Asher was willing to train her. But they were still awkward.
Asher did help, but he was distracted by thoughts of the next day. There would be another holiday. Everyone would be gathering to discuss important family issues.
There was a lot that needed to be discussed and a lot he had to plan, but …
It all meant that he would see Aster, his firstborn. With that on his mind, immediately after he finished training Deli, he ran upstairs to …
look at one of Aster’s photos in the house and celebrate.
@Alwaysasking Thanks for your comments on my post. There are five kids (all teens) in the current household. Asher isn't obsessed with his eldest child, but he just likes her a lot. He automatically does these things, which is weird because he's normally not very nice. I think she just grew on him.
Anyway, I like your teen club. My teen girls need a way to meet boys too. A club for spellcasters is great in general.
@March306 Your family is coming together nicely. Even if someone isn't a great builder, I like watching how their homes get bigger and fancier as they progress with the game. Yours looks good. The upstairs around the stairs just looks dangerous without a railing, but maybe that can make for some interesting accidents...
@Sarahbeth2984 Thanks for your comments on my previous post. I didn't know about being "mer-woke" before. I play with occults, but I like to keep them to a minimum in my games, so I'm not sure if/when my sims will discover mermaids exist. I'm glad Griffin was able to figure things out. Also, nice makeover for the Goths.
@AngeliqueAdelaide I like how Antoniette held something of a farewell party. I'm curious about how much Alexandre knows about what's going on. Was he prepared for the break up? She's moved on quite quickly.
@OhMyHemsworth Love how you're playing Morgyn and the twins' names.
@Simmelina1 Glad EunB got to enjoy some fun time with her family before dying. Having a sim die for the first time is sad, but at least her ghost came back for a while.
@nerdfashion That's tragic. Did Akira at least plead with Grim?
@Koteyka Peter is the sweetest. He makes miss having toddlers in my main save. I like how detailed and eventful his story is. I just hope that some of Peter's "friends"? grow up to be better children. They seem quite bratty. Peter had such an intense birthday party for a toddler.
Well the Harvest Day dinner party is now a go, what a nice holiday because the Bailey kids get to interact with their Illegitimate Brothers and Sisters!
I....guess the party's in the hall.
Well Luz, it isn't a Harvest Day dinner party without you know, the Harvest Day Dinner! Now get cooking!
Now that a few people in the usual guest list.....are ahem, dead. We can finally get Igor back on the guest list!
Oh and we can fit Ariel in there as well, again, Bruce needs to spend as much time with her before she ages up. Can't do anything fun with the girlfriend when she's legally not allowed to date you isn't that right?
Long line to get some turkey here....
Igor: "Heh, it's funny because half of us here don't even eat human food!"
Speaking of which, here's the group of folks who couldn't get any turkey.
Bruce: "Hey, we do mistletoe on Harvest Day right?"
Ariel: "No that's only on Winterfest."
Bruce: "Too bad and kiss me."
Kala: "Well, Abraham is dead but since I'm pregnant again, Abraham will always be with me."
Igor: "No he isn't, he's right here in this urn."
Abraham: "Did somebody order a ghost straight from the pits of hell?" Fanboy squeals.
Gunnar: "Hey dad you know what I'm grateful for? Family."
Abraham: "Wanna know what I'm grateful for? Getting a few hours away from eternal fire!"
Hela: "And you gave ME flack for getting pregnant again at my age."
Kala: "Oh yeah whatever happened to my little sister, Whateverhernamewas?"
Hela: "Completely forgot she existed. Kinda like you guys forget about Jax."
Gunnar: "Boy dad, you're burning a hole in my new couch!"
Abraham: "What can I say? Your mom always said I was hotter than hell."
Gunnar: "Ha ha but seriously, that couch was 2500 simoleons."
Ariel: "Hey check out this meme I shared."
Bruce: "Ho boy that sure is a great meme, we should go mess around in my bed while nobody's watching."
And they did.
Arnold: "Oh no don't worry, keep making out, I'll take care of the dishes because none of the responsible adults will."
Luz: "Hey you know what I just realized? You'll have a new little brother or sister shortly after we have this kid."
Gunnar: "Ha ha.....................................................wait what?"
Producers: "DID I JUST HEAR, DRAMA?!" On the next thrilling episode of "Living Life Luz", Gunnar must deal with the disturbing fact that his wife and mother are pregnant at the same time. "Living Life Luz" Tuesdays at 8pm.
Bruce: "Now Grandpa, I feel like we need time to catch up. Specifically because I'm currently dating a mermaid and that itself is already pretty big news."
Abraham: "Well snap, don't spare any details son!"
Looks like Gunnar and Luz are getting a little frisky here.
Abraham: "Can you two get a room, Bruce over here is informing me of not only the existence of mermaids, but the fact that he has been courting one for the last few months."
And so they got a room.
Later that night, Jax was making a lot of noise next door. Gunnar doesn't want to hurt his little brother, but still, he's going to get angry.
Jax: "Aw gee, of course the first time you remember I exist is when you're threatening to kill me."
Emmaline decided she was going to improve this ugly rug with some caster sugar and cocoa powder.
Much better, she thought. She very much enjoyed sitting in/on it while watching some funny vids with toddlers from foreign countries.
A bath was needed afterwards
Poor girl was exhausted after the whole day. Not to even mention there were an eartquake early in the morning.
Some weird stuff was going on
It is birthday time for Bob and Marie!
It was a small birthday party. They only invited their kids.
All of the pictures came out like this They're OK in the game though
Marie is always fun
Still madly deeply in love
Bob autonomously started to tickle Marie. Then she kept whispering him some sweet words in his ear.
Recently, after instantly upgrading Hamish Furystrykar's shower, Benjamin Furystrykar heard a voice from above:
'Hello, Benjamin. I am Advarius Furystrykar, son of the Llama God. I've been watching you and Wendy's progress ever since you were born. Your late Grandmother and Grandfather, Elizabeth and Bertram Furystrykar, are related to me. Before I died in the Sunset Valley attack, I sent the last bit of my demigod powers over to Bertram and Elizabeth. Your Father, who is Advarius Furystrykar the 2nd, didn't get my abilities, instead, passing on the magic to you two. Therefore, Benjamin, and Wendy, I UNLOCK YOUR MAGICAL POWERS! USE THEM WISELY!' boomed the voice of Advarius Furystrykar the 1st. Feeling the magic swelling up inside him, Benjamin's magical energy broke free, and he was able to cast spells! 'Thank you, Demigod' Benjamin said, cheerfully. 'You're welcome, Benjamin. I will always watch over you and Wendy's progress!' Advarius the 1st replied. Benjamin started testing out what he could learn:
Whilst this was happening, Hamish went to the toilet:
'Stand back, buddy. I'm not sure how this will end' Benjamin said to Hamish, as he attempted a cleaning spell:
The spell connected with the potty, but it didn't empty:
'Guess I'm doing it the old fashion way then!' Benjamin chuckled. He hugged his son:
Wendy was testing out her powers:
And Benjamin told Hamish a story:
Later, he acted as a means for the bees to relieve their irritation:
Benjamin's been stung so many times, his body's developed an immunity to the venom. Later, Benjamin, Wendy, Hamish, Roddy and Sophia go to the Realm of Magic, more specifically, Caster's Alley, and meet one of the spellcaster locals. I believe this is Gemma Charm:
Benjamin and Wendy purchase a Wand of Astral Creation each. Even though they prefer using their hands. (Personally, I think doing it Hermione style is better than using a wand, but each to their own)
Then it was time for a friendly magic duel:
Benjamin lost, but he wasn't mad:
The group went to the gardens. Benjamin taught Hamish using the flash cards:
Wendy practiced some more magic:
After Hamish was done with the flash card lessons, he decided to play with the tree:
Benjamin practiced magic:
The group went home and Wendy kissed Tiffany:
Benjamin went into the basement, and experimented with the cauldron:
Wendy joined him:
After Benjamin had learned a potion recipe, he went upstairs and practiced some more magic:
Wendy decided to use the cauldron for its other function, cooking food:
I was surprised that she didn't react negatively to the Cioppino. You see, she's a Child of the Ocean, and I thought children of the ocean couldn't eat fish:
Bonus Picture
A look at the new wing of the basement, designed with Wendy and Benjamin in mind:
That rug is awesome. Plus it complements the Cauldron nicely.
Outside of the game, I've created several CAS overrides. I won't see turbans, eyeball rings, ripped jeans or shorts and other fashion nightmares on townies anymore. Annoyingly, it only works for townies. Creating a spellcaster can probably result in the ugly accessories and clothing being selected. I've also found two mods that are awesome. One mod makes swimming fun and hygenic AND prevents fat loss, if you prefer your sims to stay plump whilst swimming. This one is by @83bienchen. Thanks! Fed up of those blasted paparazzi invading your private life? About to have an anger induced heart attack? Well, this one is for you and me! The mod is called No More Paparazzi, by lotusjuice on Mod The Sims! It basically does what it says on the tin.

The height of summer! Today, Jamie is off to the markets in his cute li'l hat.
Build is 'Garden Market & Cafe' by Saxona1991.
Ahhh yes an excellent sample of a trash plant. Is that eau du swamp water?
Pain au choolat for, uh, breakfast, featuring two Sages, Mortimer Goth, Mila Munch, and Morticia Addams as barista, as one does.
Meanwhile, Sage has declared the fridge her sworn nemesis. You tell 'em, Sagey.
Ice cream for dinner! Jamie eats healthily.
This got a bit long, so. Spoiler cut it is!
Gardening on rainy days is much easier when you have a greenhouse.
Must move those sprinklers.
Just expanded to fit the new plants (Seasons!), and the sprinkler placement is a bit borked.
Fertilising in the dark, the other My Chemical Romance album.
SHOOMP.
Spotted: a Sage with a cute umbrella.
Caleb comes over! He's one of Jamie's best friends and always a welcome visitor.
He has to meet the cat, of course.
(He really likes cats.)
And off before it gets light again!
Sage approves.
But now it's time to sleep.
Breakfast is ice cream. Again.
You see Jamie this is what happens when you eat ice cream for main meals.
Since it wasn't raining, I thought I'd send Jamie off to a meeting with the Garden Gnomes. T-shirt, jeans, and sneakers, very practical, meeting starts... and he changes into this. W H Y.
...Bjorn and Moira are very close.
Lots of new things to plant!
Is it cannibalism to fertilise a growfruit with more growfruit? No, seriously.
All done! Time to join the other Gnomes at the fishing pond.
THIS IS JAMIE'S SPOT, BJORN.
Just wholesome things: Sofia temporarily dropping the Cool Teenager act and playing with Elsa and her friends (feat. Max Villareal, and Ron Weasley and Harry Potter).
Messy kids. Jamie is all socialed out!
...Almost all socialed out. Always got time for his best girl!
Next evening, Johnny invites Jamie out to the spice festival! (They used to date, decided they were better off at friends, and Jamie helped Johnny and Caleb get together. Still very close, and definitely still some mutual attraction.)
Dango! *Clannad ending playing in the background*
Jamie has achieved Maximum Spiciness.
Sofia sweetie you're doing great.
Bit of basketball to relax. KOBE!
...almost.
Time to hit the club! Aside from Jamie and Johnny, there's the usual suspects of Joaquin and Candy, Ulrike is off to one side, Lilith usually shows up (Caleb was in earlier too), Bart Torgal from Subnautica is a fan... Arthur Weasley, Xenophilius Lovegood, and Pearl from Steven Universe are slightly less expected. (Build is San Myshuno Club, on the Gallery as Sun Myshuno Club, by Buntyan.)
Yes Johnny it's very cute but you don't need it inside.
A celebrity shows up!
...Jamie is oblivious.
Late-night sandwich. Actually it's about 8 AM so it's actually breakfast.
Just a few hours sleep before Morgyn calls up, wanting to hit up the flea market!
Not your average busker. Jacques p l e a s e.
And Jamie and Morgyn just hang out while Geeta, Mila, and Clara hit on Thorne.
Discuss studies and stuff.
Jamie seeks the latest gossip. "So, what's this I hear about you and Caleb?"
Nancy attempts to get Thorne's attention in the least subtle way ever. (Also feat. Keala Hoapili, Lily Feng, Minerva Charm, Grandmama Addams, and a Sim of mine I am deeply disappointed in right now. Ilan honey get away from Nancy she's mean and also naked.)
No one was happy to see Morgyn go, not even Grace...
it doesn't happen everyday to assist to the death of a vampire...
and Morgyn Ember took out three in the span of five minutes...
breaking him up is going to be harder than breaking Caleb Vatore... Caleb is quiet, peaceful guy... this one only seems quiet. But Missy has a plan... first, though, she was thirsty...
and she happens to find spellcasters very tasty...
now. she needs two things... convince Aine to remove Morgyn powers, and find a way to protect herself from it as long as he has it...
mages have more than one problem at the moment...
Morgyn has a plan too...
but first...
he needs to find a safe place for Ulrike because he's not going to bring her with him where he's going...
and no one better than the old witch can keep her safe..
she tried to argue to this decision...
but he wanted to listen to no reason...
so she gave him at least her last potion of plentiful needs...
before saying goodbye...
he's still a Sage and he knows a things or two...
for example he know that if he goes past the bridge and up the mountains...
he can get to a vampire community restricted from humans...
but he's a mage and he knows a way to enter it...
and he's going to skip cerimonials and ask about this crazy vampire...
to the Grand Master himself.
So many great updates I just realized I've been playing RoM for about 45-50 hours now (I need to get a life) and completely forgot to post any of it here It's just way too addictive for me. But I've been enjoying reading all your lovely posts about RoM and other sims. Happy simming!
My Island living sim ~ Kai ~ had twins with her husband Makao A boy Maui *Had to throw in some Moana references* and a girl Lana. They moved to key point in Mua' Pelam so Kai can sorta work from home easier as a conservationist and it's booootiful there
I decided to start a new game with a YA female sim I named Julissa Kelly. She is living in San Myshuno and is a beauty vlogger. She is living in the Spice District and is good friends with the Bheeda Family. She is a family oriented sim and has just recently become the girlfriend of J Huntington III.
Haven't been posting much, since I've been busy playing. But I've been reading from time to time, and I've been having fun. Especially with the Mamminis.
Part 1: Childhood
It's Winterfest for the Spellman household. The Kinross clan stopped by for a visit. They don't have a lot of money (as in, they have 23 Simoleans in their household funds), but they still saved up to bring the kids some presents.
Unfortunately, Finn proved to be troublesome again: his magic started to manifest early, leading to several accidental fires.
(It was actually Aunt Moira who autonomously started the fires, and she specifically targeted her dead sister's plants. But I'm going to pretend that Finn did it because it makes more sense. But I did send the Kinross family home after that.)
Later on in the day, Ren's brother's family stopped over. Hallie and the kids played video games.
Aunt Perdita went online to figure out why the roof doesn't appear in some shots.
But presents, songs and bad TV specials aren't the only things on today's agenda: Finn's aging up. It's not his birthday or anything, but he only has one day left as a kid, so why not age him up while he's surrounded by family?
Oh.
So here's Finn with a make-over. He's a Glutton and another trait, I forget. I only remember Glutton because he's obsessed with eating.
Finn's a natural spellcaster. In no time at all, he managed to learn Zipzap and Inferniate. I hope his father knows Repairo and Scruberoo, because this kid has a tendency to make messes.
Poor ghost kitty, spending Winterfest alone and in the cold.
Yeah, that's not happening. Cat is coming inside for the night.
Now that he's a teenager, Finn's also noticing girls. While staying with his grandparents, he met and struck a nice conversation with Hana Stellar. It's nice to see him making friends his own age.
Speaking of the Kinross clan, Hamish has started to treat Ren a lot more warmly now. Mostly because Grandma Fleur died and he wanted someone to talk to.
Specifically, someone to talk to about Moira's new husband, Patch O'Reilly. Hamish hates the man and thinks he's no good for his daughter: he's also poor, but he's uneducated and has a lower-paying job. Patch is a good guy, but the hate is mutual between him and Hamish.
Hamish only lets him stay in the house because he's a good husband and father. And he really enjoys having little Imani around.
Part 2: Teenagerdom
Finn attended magic school with three other students: Drusilla Morgan, Felix Greenwood, and Tara Lynx. (Catarina Lynx's daughter.)
On the first day of school, the kids get into uniform and visit the Magic Realm.
They buy supplies, duel other spellcasters, read magical tomes, use cauldrons and collect ingredients. But the true reason for the trip is for them to meet the Sages and learn a little more about their schools of magic.
Finn is a fantastic student, by the way. His father was valedictorian, but even he didn't learn every spell and potion and become a Virtuoso before becoming an adult. If he didn't set fire to things now and then, he'd be the perfect mage.
Finn can even duel his Virtuoso teacher!
Still can't win, though.
He also invites Hana over every other day, despite them living on completely different countries. Hana keeps inviting him over, too. It's weird. I kinda didn't want to get them together because she's a mermaid. I wanted to ensure the Spellmans were all spellcasters.
Hazel didn't manifest magic until she was a teenager.
Same with Hallie. But Hallie's very enthusiastic about attending Newt's School of Magic.
Along with a boy named Lincoln Grimm, Hazel and Hallie make up the next year's class.
Part 3: Adulthood
I built a vacation home in Sulani. Sims can visit and stay for a week, at the cost of 4000 Simoleans. The Spellmans don't have much money, but Ren was happy to pay for his son's vacation as a graduation present.
There's so much to do in Sulani: you can snorkel...
Visit your old family home...
... and head to the Sand Bar, where you run into the Teachers Association as they have a club meeting. Finn happened Iona Stellar, his old neighbor and babysitter.
She invited him over for dinner so they can reconnect.
While no one was looking, Finn decided to make dinner for everyone.
Hana and Finn autonomously sit together. Because even now, Finn has to keep being difficult.
You know what? Fine. Have your fish babies.
They're not too chatty when playing video games, though. They're actually very focused. There's no room for love on the MySims Racing tracks.
There's room after the race, though.
It's not fair. I wanted him to end up with Drusilla the evil witch. Have something like a Batman/Catwoman relationship.
But at least these two are happy.
It's midnight and there's a monsoon outside, so Iona insists that Finn sleep over. He can stay in her son's old bedroom. Keoni moved out recently to pursue his painting career.
Ignoring the sound of the washing machine, Keoni's bedroom/the laundry room is pretty cozy.
The next morning, Finn breaks the toilet. Which would be pretty awkward if he didn't have magic to fix all of his problems.
Finn meets Hana in the kitchen. Already in her bathing suit, she proposes that they go for a swim.
While they swim, I noticed someone was watching them.
Kind of weird, Iona.
When Finn gets back home, the first thing he does is run to his father and tell him about Hana.
And he's not too happy about it. He explains that the Stellars are mermaids, and their kids would have a 50% chance of being a mermaid instead of a spellcaster. This is just something spellcaters don't do. He could potentially be locking their line out of magic here. Can Finn really do that, after how hard he, Ren and Rowan worked to build up their legacy? How the Kinross clan would hate to see their magic and traditions die?
It turns out, he can. With no guilt at all. After almost three years (days) of dating, Finn proposes to Hana.
The Sims 4 hasn't introduced a new musical instrument since 2017

Christmas came to Forgotten Hollow, and for some reason Wilbica assumed she had been a good girl deserving of a present. Father Winter preferred not to argue about it, however, remembering what Wilbica's mother did to him the last time he refused to open his bag for her...
But he didn't even meet Aya this time because the old hag was busy terrorising Sulani! Right now the Devil only knows what kind of evil spells she cast on that volcano, but chances are the inhabitants of this island shall find out soon enough...
Meanwhile, her son spent the afternoon at the bar, using a mixture of his fame, guitar skills and vampiric charm to woo an entire room! He has never been superficial, you know, he doesn't care about your looks, gender or ethnicity, because what really matters to him is what's inside of you - namely, your blood!
By the way, there's a new member in the family now. My fellow evildoers, meet Leviathan Hytide!
He's a merman that our most famous vampire picked up at the bar with the intention of sucking him dry because he was curious about the taste of mersim blood. But after watching Leviathan summon a thundery calamity out of nowhere just because he was bored, he figured an evil merman would be a most useful addition to the family.
[Natla voice] And so it ends... for today! But don't think yourselves save just yet. Sooner or later the Mamminis might come knocking on your door, too - and now there's four of them!
Something wicked this way comes!
I don't use MCCC.
You are going to see tons of Antoniette in this update. I hope she won´t disappoint you.
It would be great for Alexandre to fall in love again, once I figure out who he might like, because at the moment I have zero idea. Antoniette used to be his everything for a very long time (and it hurt very bad to learn that she never really felt the same way), it might take him a while before he will even start to consider dating again.
@AlwaysAsking
I just can´t get over how handsome your young Diego looks! I fear I am starting to develop a soft spot for him too
Getting votes is not really as difficult as I make it sound, just really tedious. First you need to debate politics - if they share your affiliation, you can ask them to vote for you right away and they usually agree; if they don´t, you need to make friends with them first and promote your politics before they would agree to vote for you. I will get to it next time I play him - whenever it happens, because right now I have my hands full with magic and I haven´t even started to set up the stage to tell the story of how Antoniette, Alexandre and a certain someone whose connection to them will be revealed in this update came to be who they are and where they are today. It will take place over a hundred years in the past, so it needs lots of preparations.
Romeo as a spellcaster? I am so used with it as a vampire that I can´t even picture it, so it would be really interesting to see how he will do in a different universe. It is Lucrecia whom I can picture as a spellcaster, not having magic in the game yet was the main reason she ended up being a vampire to begin with. Who knows, she may still become one.
Antoniette has a bad tendency to take everything to extreme. Your sister threatens to reveal your whereabouts to your evil mother - murder her, your lover is reluctant to marry you - seduce someone else and vanish for a century, you are no longer satisfied with your family life - abandon your kids and never talk to them again. She really needs to learn to chill a bit, the world is not black and white.
Her older kids will still love her, no matter what. It was bit of a shock for them to learn that she is a witch - something she had never mentioned before, but they will come around, especially Adaline and Aedion. The younger ones are a more complicated matter, she wants to have them with her but she can´t hurt Alexandre even further by taking them away from him. So they won´t probably be around much until they get older.
Alexandre is not going to have easy time reconsidering his life, because Antoniette had very much impinge on his dreams, wishes and the person he is. To move on, he needs to try and remamber who he used to be before he fell prey to her charms.
Antoniette can - and will - do many things. Stay tuned!
@DoodlyDoofus
I think I know which mod you mean. I will check it out.
After months of putting it off, I finally installed MCCC. Now Anastassia remembers that she has a father again and Amara is officially Jocelyn´s mother, so that the game won´t force her to hang out with her biological mother, who gave her up on birth (I really hated seeing them at restaurants together, because they have never even talked with each other, but as they were still related, the game loved to force them to play family). I see now why MCCC is getting so much praise, because it is brilliant.
But back to Antoniette...
Antoniette´s first few days back at Glimmerbrook were rather depressing. Not only was she still feeling bad about the divorce, after decades of living in Oasis Springs, she had forgotten how cold and dark it can get in Glimmerbrook.
At least she still had Ember for company, who was also feeling down, since she had no one to scare
Vlad, you came knocking on wrong door, we are not interested in what you are offering
But enough moping, time to get your groove back
Someone might have gotten a bit rusty with time
(I changed Gemma Charm´s hair and clothes, she looks surprisingly good in blue)
Do you need glasses?
Not that she really was looking for a book to begin with, rather than someone who is never too far from books...
Antoniette: "Hello, stranger, long time no see."
Morgyn: "A hundred years, you mean? What are you even doing here - you made it rather clear the last time that you are never coming back."
Antoniette: "Did you miss me?"
Morgyn: "You know I did."
Antoniette: "So let it be. I am not in the mood to discuss it tonight. I need some air - can we go somewhere more private?"
Morgyn: "Are you really back for good?"
Antoniette: "I saw the world - you were right, it is not a good place for people like us. But dn´t you dare to say "I told you so" or I will set you in fire."
Morgyn: "As if you can beat me in a duel."
Antoniette: "We´ll see it. But no more talking tonight."
Can I say that I hate spellcasters HQ? It is awfully bland and really needs some doors for privacy. Here´s Darrel Charm who agrees with me, as he had misfortune to walk in on something really not meant for his eyes that scarred him for life
Adaline decided to come to live with Antoniette to become a witch
Though it is possible that she missed Ember more than her mother
It took her some time to master the delicioso spell, her first attempts ending in rotten food, but in the end she got it right
Antoniette and Morgyn went on a date to catch up some more
As much as they were able to talk, with random people constantly getting into their personal space
There was literally a free table right there, but nope, gotta sit here
Umm, Artur Climate, if you don´t like something, you are free to get lost?
(It was some really horrendous singing. It is a good thing that neither of them tries to make a living with music, because they would sure starve)
Oh look who´s there, Antoniette´s ex-husband who loathes Morgyn and would surely be thrilled to hear that it took Antoniette three whole days to fall back to the bed with him
But Alexandre was spared of death by rage, because the date ended, and after saying goodbye about trice, only to change his mind and go back to kissing his once again girlfriend, Morgyn remembered that he has a job he needs to return to.
After he left, Antoniette entertained herself with setting the trash can on fire
Few days later, Antoniette was feeling blue because Morgyn had not called and as she´d been busy with work and visits from her children, she hadn´t been able to visit him either.
She´d grown too used with having someone whose world spins around her, but Morgyn had a life of his own and could not spend every waking moment with her. It made her miss easier time, several murders and over a hundred years ago, when it had felt that they had an ethernity. But that world was long gone, they had both made their choices and had to live with the consequences now.
To cheer her up, Adaline suggested that they attend to the humor festival.
Antoniette met Diego Lobo, who was feeling even more miserable than her
But while she can´t cast a spell on herself to make her worries go away, she could cast one on him
Here you go
For some reason, this lady had decided to attend to the festival naked
Andrey, are you okay?
Later on, Antoniette came across her little grandaughter Madeline. The poor child was sad, tired and needed a new nappy - and her parents were nowhere to be seen.
So Antoniette did what good grandmothers do and took her home.
She yelled on Antony, who argued that he had not been the one to lose Madeline, as he had been at home with Nala the whole time, helping her do her homework
Since Antoniette was already there, she spelled up some food and chatted with Nala. After two hours, Andrey and Angelique finally got home to be yelled on by Antony, who had not appreciated being accused on something he had not done.
Antoniette did much better on her next duel
Emilia is great, I have no idea what she sees in someone like Darrel.
Adaline adopted another cat to keep Ember´s company while she and her mother were away doing their witch stuff.
Spark and Ember got along just great
Morgyn met Ember, who surprisingly did not attack him as she attacks most people she comes across
He also learnt that his new friend Adaline, whom he had bonded over books, is his girlfriend´s daughter. It made a rather uncomfortable scene
Adaline: "So how long have you known my mother?"
Morgyn: "Since we were teenagers."
Adaline: "You are the same age? I thought that Sages were supposed to be ancient? Who did you kill to become one?"
Morgyn: "I am not answering to this question."
Antoniette to rescue. She started to flirt with Morgyn, promply scaring Adaline away
(Adaline tends to get mad at her mother and siblings for as much as hugging each other,unflirty sims are funny like this)
Antoniette woke up one morning to a surprise - Spark and Ember had had three kittens. They now had five cats
(Antoniette, I know that you aren´t a fan of books, but I am pretty sure that they aren´t held that way)
(poor Adelaide is having war flashbacks about being attacked by Ember)
(Spark was eating rotten food that had already made him sick. But as it was his rotten food, he attacked Ember when she wanted to eat it too. Cats.
I am starting to get worried about Antoniette´s tendency to autonomously try to get her daughters killed. First she convinced Adaline to go streaking while it was freezing outside (twice), now she did the same to Adelaide during a thunderstorm, causing her to be striken by lightning. Maybe it´s better that she stays away from her younger children.
As Aedion could not live with Adaline having something he doesn´t, he decided that he was going to follow her footsteps in witchcraft. She tried to talk him out of it, as using magic will cause his vampire powers to stop developing, meaning that he will never be able to achieve protection against sunlight or any other powers. But Aedion told her that he hated vampiric training and had only been doing it to keep Catarina and Fiametta out of trouble. He was an adult now and had the only power he had wished to gain - the bat form, so there was no reason for him to continue with it. Being able to walk in the sun was not everything - Catarina´s husband, for example, could not, and he was still living a good life.
What Aedion wants, Aedion gets. Right now it was being promply defeated by his little sister
At least he made friends with the kittens
Next time: Antoniette is possibly going to kill someone
Sunbi & her twinsister Eunji were the first babies born in Sims 4 to EunB & Don Lothario. Sunbi is a famous painter & her husband Clyde is a famous writer.

The life of my sims. Elina & Don.
and she surely has a lot of garlic...
did you have some bad experience with vampires in the past...
or... are you just a bit paranoid?!
she can use this paranoia....
and she wanted her to take a decision... so she told her...
"why don't we go there, so you can talk to him yourself?"
and she convinced her to follow... throught the portal...
and into the realm...
she disappeared behind her...
and while Aine was coming upstairs...
she took control of Morgyn's mind...
so when she arrived.... instead of being happy to see his mentor...
he made fun of her.
this convinced Aine that Miss Hell was right...
when he came back to himself... he didn't understand what was going on...
and he tried to keep calm...
but Aine didn't want to listen...
Missy was enjoying all of this, so much...
they ended up having an argument that no one won...
there was only one way to settle things down...
I never saw Missy so happy!
careful Morgyn, 'cause I'm going to remove you from your position if you lose...
and he... lost.
but you're still so fierce, aren't you?!
you never bend your head in front of anyone...
and Missy likes it... because the more you're like this, the more she wants to break you.
English isn't my first language, so please excuse any mistakes.
so, with Aine back in power, Morgyn was banned from the realm...
and he left...
in a very angry way...
but Miss Hell was not satisfied, yet...
and it was still night... so she summoned some of her offsprings...
and told them to feast on the mages blood...
they ran away...
but you can never really ran away from vampires...
Ulrike cannot really defent herself with her magic, so he used his...
to freeze them...
but Miss Hell was not going to let them ran away...
there is something she still don't get...
and he's going to show her...
that vampires are strong, but not immune...
to the power of nature.
do you get it now?
he had Miss Hell ran away, in panic...
Ulrike got to safety as soon as the lightning shower started, and reached for him to try and calm him down...
with... not much success...
maybe is better to leave him alone for a while...
Missy, I think you cast upon yourself an enemy you cannot manage.
@TheLastStar , gorgeous Sages, I love Ekundayo's look!
@Becka28 , Dee Why, Engadine, Earlwood, Clovelly, Darlinghurst, Drummoyne? Hi, neighbour!
@ldmarko , the kitten looks very unsure about Hallie!
I got them from Tumblr I think... I'll see if I can track them down, it's not much I have them in my folder.
@Becka28 Haha the love of my life is cheesecake too
@AlwaysAsking Today my son took off his shorts and a dirty diaper in the bathtub and was running around naked with a dirty rear. I had to clean up the bathtub and decided it was a good time for a bath lol. I have a teenage step daughter she's 14. My oldest biological daughter is 4 so that's a 10 yr difference. Hopefully they always have a good relationship. I have a 14 yr old, a 4 yr old, and a 1 1/2 yr old.
So to explain a little bit I had handwritten notes with stats for each of my sims traits/aspirations for every challenge I did, but handwritten notes are a pain, at least for me because I have kids that invade my desk and color on things. So I dug out the notes for my old legacy and started again. But now I'm making documents on my computer to store the information I need. And since the game FINALLY has a randomized trait dice thing I don't need to use legacy trait generator thing. This thing
One of the reasons I went back to this legacy is because I was half way through it and I've only ever completed ONE LEGACY. I want there to be a second one. Going back to this gets me closer. I will still play the newer legacy save and the 100 baby challenge. I'm just going to jump around to each one as I get bored.
So this legacy had a naming theme on Pretty Little Liars. It took me forever to watch all of the PLL episodes. It was amazing. I really want to read the books the show was based on. The problem is I probably had somewhere written down possible names for the legacy children but I don't know where it would be. I don't know how well I remember the characters and I've used a lot of the names so far. So in the future I might be using the actor/actresses names instead of their character names.
My only completed legacy had a Game of Thrones naming theme and somehow after 10 generations I still had unused character names. lol
My founder was Spencer Hastings she was my favorite PLL character.
She was a home wrecker and convinced Mortimer to divorce Bella and shack up with her. Together they gave birth to generation 2.
I won't go over every single generation, let's jump into the current gen.
This is Paige. Side note: My son in real life would have been named Paige if he were a girl.
She's a spare.
This is Lucas and he is my heir.
I picked him because he rolled an aspiration I had not done before. World Famous Celeb.
Paige managed to set fire to the grill IN THE RAIN
Apparently none of them knew how to use a fire extinguisher.
I guess I picked the right person for heir because he was the only one who stepped up and put out the fire.
Generation 5 heir is now an elder.
His name is Garrett he had the jungle explorer aspiration and his wife had the archaeology aspiration. They both completed them.
If your interested here's the previous generations:
Gen 1
Spencer and Mortimer
Gen 2
Alison and Zeke
Gen 3
Ezra and Aili
Gen 4
Melissa and Greg
Gen 5 *currently elders*
Garrett and Kelsie
So far i have used bondi (only 1 in b generation), clovelly, coogee, camden and cabarita). I am tryimg to avoid suburbs I have actually lived in with one or two exceptions. I agree with you; Camden was such a nice sounding name I couldn't resist it. I seem to have a fondness for beachy places so it was also a good change of setting. Melbourne has some awesome names too. I would love to name a sim Glenelg. Need a different legacy for that.
@DarkAngel1994 the proposal in the park was stunning. The snow made it so magical looking.
@Simmelina1 love your purple skinned girls. I keep wishing i will get special aliens but mostly they are green, pale blue or white.
@SiliClone thanks!
Awkward? teen night on the town. All five of the kids, now teens, in the house went out for the first time. It was a holiday. Food and drinks were free.
Dysis and Darius wasted no time, confidently walked to the bar, and ordered non-alcoholic drinks. Dyna followed, making sure to scope things out first.
Even though Dysis is very interested in money, she’s also down-to-earth. She wanted to stay comfortable, so she wore her overalls and a plain white t-shirt.
Darius was feeling super cute and handsome, so he took a thousand selfies.
Some B-list adult celebrity tried to chat Delmarya (Deli) up as she ordered her Plasma Jane. Deli avoided eye contact.
Dysis tried to swoop in and rescue her sister from the failure of a conversation, but the B-lister told Dysis to get lost, and turned his back to her. The normally confident kid didn’t know how to react to that.
Oblivious and in the background, Darius spent his club time showing his twin (Dyna) the thousand selfies he took.
Still oblivious to what was going on with the B-lister, Darius then dragged Dyna out to look at the stars on Starlight Boulevard.
It was an aspirational journey down the sidewalk for him. He studied his eldest sister’s star (Aster’s star) and thought, I can get one of these.
Back at the house, Deli deleted the odd B-list celebrity from her memory and approached her father because she had more important things to handle. Deli needed his help.
Deli had been thinking a lot and at the moment she was feeling that maybe being a vampire was something she could accept. She figured that if she got stronger and overcame her sun allergies, it might not be such an awful, weird thing. It might even help her get closer to her father.
Of course, Asher was willing to train her. But they were still awkward.
Asher did help, but he was distracted by thoughts of the next day. There would be another holiday. Everyone would be gathering to discuss important family issues.
There was a lot that needed to be discussed and a lot he had to plan, but …
It all meant that he would see Aster, his firstborn. With that on his mind, immediately after he finished training Deli, he ran upstairs to …
look at one of Aster’s photos in the house and celebrate.
@Alwaysasking Thanks for your comments on my post. There are five kids (all teens) in the current household. Asher isn't obsessed with his eldest child, but he just likes her a lot. He automatically does these things, which is weird because he's normally not very nice. I think she just grew on him.
Anyway, I like your teen club. My teen girls need a way to meet boys too. A club for spellcasters is great in general.
@March306 Your family is coming together nicely. Even if someone isn't a great builder, I like watching how their homes get bigger and fancier as they progress with the game. Yours looks good. The upstairs around the stairs just looks dangerous without a railing, but maybe that can make for some interesting accidents...
@Sarahbeth2984 Thanks for your comments on my previous post. I didn't know about being "mer-woke" before. I play with occults, but I like to keep them to a minimum in my games, so I'm not sure if/when my sims will discover mermaids exist. I'm glad Griffin was able to figure things out. Also, nice makeover for the Goths.
@AngeliqueAdelaide I like how Antoniette held something of a farewell party. I'm curious about how much Alexandre knows about what's going on. Was he prepared for the break up? She's moved on quite quickly.
@OhMyHemsworth Love how you're playing Morgyn and the twins' names.
@Simmelina1 Glad EunB got to enjoy some fun time with her family before dying. Having a sim die for the first time is sad, but at least her ghost came back for a while.
@nerdfashion That's tragic. Did Akira at least plead with Grim?
@Koteyka Peter is the sweetest. He makes miss having toddlers in my main save. I like how detailed and eventful his story is. I just hope that some of Peter's "friends"? grow up to be better children. They seem quite bratty. Peter had such an intense birthday party for a toddler.
Goku you seriously need to watch where you sleep. Your going to smell so bad. xD
I....guess the party's in the hall.
Well Luz, it isn't a Harvest Day dinner party without you know, the Harvest Day Dinner! Now get cooking!
Now that a few people in the usual guest list.....are ahem, dead. We can finally get Igor back on the guest list!
Oh and we can fit Ariel in there as well, again, Bruce needs to spend as much time with her before she ages up. Can't do anything fun with the girlfriend when she's legally not allowed to date you isn't that right?
Long line to get some turkey here....
Igor: "Heh, it's funny because half of us here don't even eat human food!"
Speaking of which, here's the group of folks who couldn't get any turkey.
Bruce: "Hey, we do mistletoe on Harvest Day right?"
Ariel: "No that's only on Winterfest."
Bruce: "Too bad and kiss me."
Kala: "Well, Abraham is dead but since I'm pregnant again, Abraham will always be with me."
Igor: "No he isn't, he's right here in this urn."
Abraham: "Did somebody order a ghost straight from the pits of hell?"
Fanboy squeals.
Gunnar: "Hey dad you know what I'm grateful for? Family."
Abraham: "Wanna know what I'm grateful for? Getting a few hours away from eternal fire!"
Hela: "And you gave ME flack for getting pregnant again at my age."
Kala: "Oh yeah whatever happened to my little sister, Whateverhernamewas?"
Hela: "Completely forgot she existed. Kinda like you guys forget about Jax."
Gunnar: "Boy dad, you're burning a hole in my new couch!"
Abraham: "What can I say? Your mom always said I was hotter than hell."
Gunnar: "Ha ha but seriously, that couch was 2500 simoleons."
Ariel: "Hey check out this meme I shared."
Bruce: "Ho boy that sure is a great meme, we should go mess around in my bed while nobody's watching."
And they did.
Arnold: "Oh no don't worry, keep making out, I'll take care of the dishes because none of the responsible adults will."
Luz: "Hey you know what I just realized? You'll have a new little brother or sister shortly after we have this kid."
Gunnar: "Ha ha.....................................................wait what?"
Producers: "DID I JUST HEAR, DRAMA?!"
On the next thrilling episode of "Living Life Luz", Gunnar must deal with the disturbing fact that his wife and mother are pregnant at the same time. "Living Life Luz" Tuesdays at 8pm.
Bruce: "Now Grandpa, I feel like we need time to catch up. Specifically because I'm currently dating a mermaid and that itself is already pretty big news."
Abraham: "Well snap, don't spare any details son!"
Looks like Gunnar and Luz are getting a little frisky here.
Abraham: "Can you two get a room, Bruce over here is informing me of not only the existence of mermaids, but the fact that he has been courting one for the last few months."
And so they got a room.
Later that night, Jax was making a lot of noise next door. Gunnar doesn't want to hurt his little brother, but still, he's going to get angry.
Jax: "Aw gee, of course the first time you remember I exist is when you're threatening to kill me."
You would be too if you were being held by a big orange bear!
Much better, she thought. She very much enjoyed sitting in/on it while watching some funny vids with toddlers from foreign countries.
A bath was needed afterwards
Poor girl was exhausted after the whole day. Not to even mention there were an eartquake early in the morning.
Some weird stuff was going on
It is birthday time for Bob and Marie!
It was a small birthday party. They only invited their kids.
All of the pictures came out like this
Marie is always fun
Still madly deeply in love
Bob autonomously started to tickle Marie. Then she kept whispering him some sweet words in his ear.
'Hello, Benjamin. I am Advarius Furystrykar, son of the Llama God. I've been watching you and Wendy's progress ever since you were born. Your late Grandmother and Grandfather, Elizabeth and Bertram Furystrykar, are related to me. Before I died in the Sunset Valley attack, I sent the last bit of my demigod powers over to Bertram and Elizabeth. Your Father, who is Advarius Furystrykar the 2nd, didn't get my abilities, instead, passing on the magic to you two. Therefore, Benjamin, and Wendy, I UNLOCK YOUR MAGICAL POWERS! USE THEM WISELY!' boomed the voice of Advarius Furystrykar the 1st. Feeling the magic swelling up inside him, Benjamin's magical energy broke free, and he was able to cast spells! 'Thank you, Demigod' Benjamin said, cheerfully. 'You're welcome, Benjamin. I will always watch over you and Wendy's progress!' Advarius the 1st replied. Benjamin started testing out what he could learn:
Whilst this was happening, Hamish went to the toilet:
'Stand back, buddy. I'm not sure how this will end' Benjamin said to Hamish, as he attempted a cleaning spell:
The spell connected with the potty, but it didn't empty:
'Guess I'm doing it the old fashion way then!' Benjamin chuckled. He hugged his son:
Wendy was testing out her powers:
And Benjamin told Hamish a story:
Later, he acted as a means for the bees to relieve their irritation:
Benjamin's been stung so many times, his body's developed an immunity to the venom. Later, Benjamin, Wendy, Hamish, Roddy and Sophia go to the Realm of Magic, more specifically, Caster's Alley, and meet one of the spellcaster locals. I believe this is Gemma Charm:
Benjamin and Wendy purchase a Wand of Astral Creation each. Even though they prefer using their hands. (Personally, I think doing it Hermione style is better than using a wand, but each to their own)
Then it was time for a friendly magic duel:
Benjamin lost, but he wasn't mad:
The group went to the gardens. Benjamin taught Hamish using the flash cards:
Wendy practiced some more magic:
After Hamish was done with the flash card lessons, he decided to play with the tree:
Benjamin practiced magic:
The group went home and Wendy kissed Tiffany:
Benjamin went into the basement, and experimented with the cauldron:
Wendy joined him:
After Benjamin had learned a potion recipe, he went upstairs and practiced some more magic:
Wendy decided to use the cauldron for its other function, cooking food:
I was surprised that she didn't react negatively to the Cioppino. You see, she's a Child of the Ocean, and I thought children of the ocean couldn't eat fish:
Bonus Picture
A look at the new wing of the basement, designed with Wendy and Benjamin in mind:
That rug is awesome. Plus it complements the Cauldron nicely.
Outside of the game, I've created several CAS overrides. I won't see turbans, eyeball rings, ripped jeans or shorts and other fashion nightmares on townies anymore. Annoyingly, it only works for townies. Creating a spellcaster can probably result in the ugly accessories and clothing being selected. I've also found two mods that are awesome. One mod makes swimming fun and hygenic AND prevents fat loss, if you prefer your sims to stay plump whilst swimming. This one is by @83bienchen. Thanks! Fed up of those blasted paparazzi invading your private life? About to have an anger induced heart attack? Well, this one is for you and me! The mod is called No More Paparazzi, by lotusjuice on Mod The Sims! It basically does what it says on the tin.
Build is 'Garden Market & Cafe' by Saxona1991.
Ahhh yes an excellent sample of a trash plant. Is that eau du swamp water?
Pain au choolat for, uh, breakfast, featuring two Sages, Mortimer Goth, Mila Munch, and Morticia Addams as barista, as one does.
Meanwhile, Sage has declared the fridge her sworn nemesis. You tell 'em, Sagey.
Ice cream for dinner! Jamie eats healthily.
This got a bit long, so. Spoiler cut it is!
Must move those sprinklers.
Just expanded to fit the new plants (Seasons!), and the sprinkler placement is a bit borked.
Fertilising in the dark, the other My Chemical Romance album.
SHOOMP.
Spotted: a Sage with a cute umbrella.
Caleb comes over! He's one of Jamie's best friends and always a welcome visitor.
He has to meet the cat, of course.
(He really likes cats.)
And off before it gets light again!
Sage approves.
But now it's time to sleep.
Breakfast is ice cream. Again.
You see Jamie this is what happens when you eat ice cream for main meals.
Since it wasn't raining, I thought I'd send Jamie off to a meeting with the Garden Gnomes. T-shirt, jeans, and sneakers, very practical, meeting starts... and he changes into this. W H Y.
...Bjorn and Moira are very close.
Lots of new things to plant!
Is it cannibalism to fertilise a growfruit with more growfruit? No, seriously.
All done! Time to join the other Gnomes at the fishing pond.
THIS IS JAMIE'S SPOT, BJORN.
Just wholesome things: Sofia temporarily dropping the Cool Teenager act and playing with Elsa and her friends (feat. Max Villareal, and Ron Weasley and Harry Potter).
Messy kids. Jamie is all socialed out!
...Almost all socialed out. Always got time for his best girl!
Next evening, Johnny invites Jamie out to the spice festival! (They used to date, decided they were better off at friends, and Jamie helped Johnny and Caleb get together. Still very close, and definitely still some mutual attraction.)
Dango! *Clannad ending playing in the background*
Jamie has achieved Maximum Spiciness.
Sofia sweetie you're doing great.
Bit of basketball to relax. KOBE!
...almost.
Time to hit the club! Aside from Jamie and Johnny, there's the usual suspects of Joaquin and Candy, Ulrike is off to one side, Lilith usually shows up (Caleb was in earlier too), Bart Torgal from Subnautica is a fan... Arthur Weasley, Xenophilius Lovegood, and Pearl from Steven Universe are slightly less expected. (Build is San Myshuno Club, on the Gallery as Sun Myshuno Club, by Buntyan.)
Yes Johnny it's very cute but you don't need it inside.
A celebrity shows up!
...Jamie is oblivious.
Late-night sandwich. Actually it's about 8 AM so it's actually breakfast.
Just a few hours sleep before Morgyn calls up, wanting to hit up the flea market!
Not your average busker. Jacques p l e a s e.
And Jamie and Morgyn just hang out while Geeta, Mila, and Clara hit on Thorne.
Discuss studies and stuff.
Jamie seeks the latest gossip. "So, what's this I hear about you and Caleb?"
Nancy attempts to get Thorne's attention in the least subtle way ever. (Also feat. Keala Hoapili, Lily Feng, Minerva Charm, Grandmama Addams, and a Sim of mine I am deeply disappointed in right now. Ilan honey get away from Nancy she's mean and also naked.)
Finishing up with some Moves...
...and a new skill!
it doesn't happen everyday to assist to the death of a vampire...
and Morgyn Ember took out three in the span of five minutes...
breaking him up is going to be harder than breaking Caleb Vatore... Caleb is quiet, peaceful guy... this one only seems quiet. But Missy has a plan... first, though, she was thirsty...
and she happens to find spellcasters very tasty...
now. she needs two things... convince Aine to remove Morgyn powers, and find a way to protect herself from it as long as he has it...
mages have more than one problem at the moment...
Morgyn has a plan too...
but first...
he needs to find a safe place for Ulrike because he's not going to bring her with him where he's going...
and no one better than the old witch can keep her safe..
she tried to argue to this decision...
but he wanted to listen to no reason...
so she gave him at least her last potion of plentiful needs...
before saying goodbye...
he's still a Sage and he knows a things or two...
for example he know that if he goes past the bridge and up the mountains...
he can get to a vampire community restricted from humans...
but he's a mage and he knows a way to enter it...
and he's going to skip cerimonials and ask about this crazy vampire...
to the Grand Master himself.
Part 1: Childhood
It's Winterfest for the Spellman household. The Kinross clan stopped by for a visit. They don't have a lot of money (as in, they have 23 Simoleans in their household funds), but they still saved up to bring the kids some presents.
Unfortunately, Finn proved to be troublesome again: his magic started to manifest early, leading to several accidental fires.
(It was actually Aunt Moira who autonomously started the fires, and she specifically targeted her dead sister's plants. But I'm going to pretend that Finn did it because it makes more sense. But I did send the Kinross family home after that.)
Later on in the day, Ren's brother's family stopped over. Hallie and the kids played video games.
Aunt Perdita went online to figure out why the roof doesn't appear in some shots.
But presents, songs and bad TV specials aren't the only things on today's agenda: Finn's aging up. It's not his birthday or anything, but he only has one day left as a kid, so why not age him up while he's surrounded by family?
Oh.
So here's Finn with a make-over. He's a Glutton and another trait, I forget. I only remember Glutton because he's obsessed with eating.
Finn's a natural spellcaster. In no time at all, he managed to learn Zipzap and Inferniate. I hope his father knows Repairo and Scruberoo, because this kid has a tendency to make messes.
Poor ghost kitty, spending Winterfest alone and in the cold.
Yeah, that's not happening. Cat is coming inside for the night.
Now that he's a teenager, Finn's also noticing girls. While staying with his grandparents, he met and struck a nice conversation with Hana Stellar. It's nice to see him making friends his own age.
Speaking of the Kinross clan, Hamish has started to treat Ren a lot more warmly now. Mostly because Grandma Fleur died and he wanted someone to talk to.
Specifically, someone to talk to about Moira's new husband, Patch O'Reilly. Hamish hates the man and thinks he's no good for his daughter: he's also poor, but he's uneducated and has a lower-paying job. Patch is a good guy, but the hate is mutual between him and Hamish.
Hamish only lets him stay in the house because he's a good husband and father. And he really enjoys having little Imani around.
Part 2: Teenagerdom
Finn attended magic school with three other students: Drusilla Morgan, Felix Greenwood, and Tara Lynx. (Catarina Lynx's daughter.)
On the first day of school, the kids get into uniform and visit the Magic Realm.
They buy supplies, duel other spellcasters, read magical tomes, use cauldrons and collect ingredients. But the true reason for the trip is for them to meet the Sages and learn a little more about their schools of magic.
Finn is a fantastic student, by the way. His father was valedictorian, but even he didn't learn every spell and potion and become a Virtuoso before becoming an adult. If he didn't set fire to things now and then, he'd be the perfect mage.
Finn can even duel his Virtuoso teacher!
Still can't win, though.
He also invites Hana over every other day, despite them living on completely different countries. Hana keeps inviting him over, too. It's weird. I kinda didn't want to get them together because she's a mermaid. I wanted to ensure the Spellmans were all spellcasters.
Hazel didn't manifest magic until she was a teenager.
Same with Hallie. But Hallie's very enthusiastic about attending Newt's School of Magic.
Along with a boy named Lincoln Grimm, Hazel and Hallie make up the next year's class.
Part 3: Adulthood
I built a vacation home in Sulani. Sims can visit and stay for a week, at the cost of 4000 Simoleans. The Spellmans don't have much money, but Ren was happy to pay for his son's vacation as a graduation present.
There's so much to do in Sulani: you can snorkel...
Visit your old family home...
... and head to the Sand Bar, where you run into the Teachers Association as they have a club meeting. Finn happened Iona Stellar, his old neighbor and babysitter.
She invited him over for dinner so they can reconnect.
While no one was looking, Finn decided to make dinner for everyone.
Hana and Finn autonomously sit together. Because even now, Finn has to keep being difficult.
You know what? Fine. Have your fish babies.
They're not too chatty when playing video games, though. They're actually very focused. There's no room for love on the MySims Racing tracks.
There's room after the race, though.
It's not fair. I wanted him to end up with Drusilla the evil witch. Have something like a Batman/Catwoman relationship.
But at least these two are happy.
It's midnight and there's a monsoon outside, so Iona insists that Finn sleep over. He can stay in her son's old bedroom. Keoni moved out recently to pursue his painting career.
Ignoring the sound of the washing machine, Keoni's bedroom/the laundry room is pretty cozy.
The next morning, Finn breaks the toilet. Which would be pretty awkward if he didn't have magic to fix all of his problems.
Finn meets Hana in the kitchen. Already in her bathing suit, she proposes that they go for a swim.
While they swim, I noticed someone was watching them.
Kind of weird, Iona.
When Finn gets back home, the first thing he does is run to his father and tell him about Hana.
And he's not too happy about it. He explains that the Stellars are mermaids, and their kids would have a 50% chance of being a mermaid instead of a spellcaster. This is just something spellcaters don't do. He could potentially be locking their line out of magic here. Can Finn really do that, after how hard he, Ren and Rowan worked to build up their legacy? How the Kinross clan would hate to see their magic and traditions die?
It turns out, he can. With no guilt at all. After almost three years (days) of dating, Finn proposes to Hana.
The Sims 4 hasn't introduced a new musical instrument since 2017
