5.3 - You're a Parent, Glaucus Ocean!

Image
Glaucus continues to be an excellent parent, despite his subpar wizarding. Which is fine with me! I always love it when sims autonomously interact with their kids. The toddler pool is finally getting some use, too. This prompts me to finally build the family actual pool. I've wanted one forever, but hate it when sims are too rich, too fast. Which is a bridge we crossed awhile ago, given that these guys have two million in the bank... Sedna is the first to break it all in. It's the perfect spot for a nap. Becca gives birth to the second and final child, Morgan! It shouldn't take a history degree to see where the name came from. Not to be confused with Morgyn, the sage from the Magical Realm. I'm bummed I won't see as much genetic diversity this generation, but I need a break from kids. Becca is a pretty okay parent. She's usually too busy skilling. When given the option, though, she seeks out Merlin quite a lot. Ianthe: 'Does your wife realize that's not ...

5.2 - The Many Failures of Glaucus Ocean

Image
Glaucus is constantly getting phone calls to duel. I'm guessing word got around that he sucks. Somehow, however, they don't quite make it to the magical realm for this one. Sedna: 'Would someone please explain why there's a woman shooting lights at my son in the front yard?' There's not enough time in the world, Sedna. Annnd he loses. Of course. Sedna: 'Get your head out of the snow and get inside before you freeze. Or the girl beats you worse.' Glaucus: 'Ugh... this sucks.' Meanwhile, Raul is the saddest man to ever play a VR game. He even halfheartedly dodges arrows. Raul: 'I can't believe you forgot my birthday.' I'm sorry! Your son is a mess and I'm just sort of trying to get a handle on that right now. Raul: 'Sigh. So underappreciated.' Oh, stop. You've lived a life of pampering and luxury. You even had two wives. Glaucus, why is everything you do ridiculous? Even this. This is ridiculous. You look ridiculous....

5.1 - Glaucus Ocean's No-Good, Almost-Disastrous Courting Ritual

Becoming an adult has made Glaucus a savage. He goes from getting his butt kicked to literally tossing people to the ground. I think the inclusion of a wand has helped his prowess quite a bit. Unfortunately, it doesn't last. He has a three duel losing streak that follows, which sucks. He needs three wins for his aspiration. Poor Perseus is pretty much forgotten. I do feel bad, but also... I'm stuck dealing with magical ridiculousness. I don't have time for everything. Sedna: 'Oh! You're still here?' Perseus: 'I'm a teenager for another week, mom.' Sedna: 'Of course you are, dear... of course...' Instead of moping, Glaucus is thrilled to come to the magical realm these days. I gave him a bit of a makeover more befitting a young adult who chases sparkly rainbows... Glaucus: 'I'm a SPELLCASTER! It's fantastical and amazing.' Sure it is, buddy. Sure it is. Morgyn gives him some much-needed training. Given that I know they have the...
