Glaucus finishes up his second childhood aspiration, Rambunctious Scamp.
Finally.
I hate aspirations and how they work in this game. Let me see how many times I can repeat that before this legacy is over!
Ianthe is so used to her grandma being a spaz at this point that she's completely unbothered by how unhinged Shanice has become. Losing Tasi has really made her erratic nature come out tenfold.
Ianthe: 'Sigh, it's okay, Grandma. The omelette isn't trying to kill you.'
Shanice: 'That's what it wants you to think!'
Nereus and Ianthe mostly hang out together. They're the only teens in the house and they're twins. Nereus is also Outgoing, so he's constantly socializing. It's a little maddening for an introvert controller like myself.
Glaucus and Perseus aren't terribly close, but they did share the Rambunctious Scamp aspiration, so at least there was that.
The hot tub that's never used suddenly sees an uptick in activity from Shanice. She uses it as a designated 'nap zone.'
I don't think I'd want to nap in a hot tub...
The green cloud is from the aromatherapy.
Nereus likes to randomly try and fix things. I don't have a clue why. I'm not gonna complain, though. I mostly just replace everything every morning; these guys have two million sitting in their bank account.
When Sedna isn't working on increasing her reps, she's hiding on the back patio with the tablet. I'm amused. It's probably the only quiet time she gets with all the kids in the house and her crazy mother.
A custom holiday I titled 'Remembrance Day' pops up and requires a fire. So, I have Raul use his guitar skill to strum some tunes while everyone stands around derping.
It looks like Raul is hitting Perseus in the face with his elbow. Shanice takes it upon herself to tell Ianthe a crazy story. Sedna is unamused. And Nereus is just happy to have a captive audience and a hamburger.
Shanice's time is nearly up. She's lived an impressive 221 days so far, which is because I have aging turned off for everyone except the active household. Quite a long time of delivering mail!
Helle is visiting and is her favorite child, so they have a chat. I imagine it isn't warm and fuzzy because Shanice has pretty much lost her damn mind in her old age.
Meanwhile, Raul regrets taking Sedna up on her offer to mentor him in fitness. Look at her face! I was cracking up. Poor Raul.
She needs it to progress in her career, though. I think Ianthe will be next, since she's actually an Active sim.
Shanice dies early in the afternoon, while literally everyone else is gone. Only the maid is there to witness her passing and he looks half-afraid she's gonna pop right back up.
Don't worry, dude. She's gone.
Fun fact, she died in almost the same spot as Tasi!
R.I.P. Shanice. You were a good spouse and an even better cook! Of course, it's your fault I have so many erratic sims to now deal with...
Of course, as soon as everyone gets home, it's the mopey walk of sadness. Sedna, too, is bereaved, but she's too busy standing idly at not-quite-her-home-lot and staring off into space. I wish they'd fix that bug with these gigantic lots.
Glaucus overcomes his sadness, briefly, to become a teenager! He looks similar to his older brother Nereus, but different enough that I'm not mad at it. He's cute. Unfortunately, he adds Erratic to Active. Ugh.
And he wants to be a spellcaster.
UGH.
I broke down and finally bought a weight bench because Sedna couldn't get her final aspiration requirement to trigger without it. After buying tickets to the gun show, Sedna adds long-living to her list of traits and moves on to the same aspiration her father had.
In an effort to rip off the bandaid, I send Glaucus moodily off to the magical realm so he can become budget Harry Potter.
You could look a little more enthused.
Glaucus: 'My grandma just died!'
Harry Potter didn't even have parents. And you didn't even like your grandma that much.
Glaucus: 'Stop negating my pain!'
Sigh.
He arrives and is greeted by a cute magical student who is less-than-impressed with his attitude.
Random Girl: 'Cheer up, dude. How can anyone be down in a place like this?'
Glaucus: 'Meh.'
This is your fault--or the randomizers, rather--so suck it up. You think I wanna deal with this in the middle of a legacy?
Let me preface this by saying I had to go to Carl's Sim Guide to figure out all of this. I've literally never touched anything in this game pack before. I bought it because it was on sale and I'm a completionist. I rarely ever mess with supernatural that isn't werewolves or vampires. Ahem, anyway...
Glaucus: 'So, you take the shiny ball and make me a witch, right?'
Sage: 'Uh, sort of...'
Glaucus becomes a 'Spellcaster' and before he can flounce off back to the land of normalcy, we meet this incredibly adorable fellow spellcaster. She's a YA, though. A lot of the sims here are super cool looking. Future dating pool, maybe?
Anyway, we'll keep her mind for later. It's time to go.
As if I didn't already find this whole thing obnoxious enough, I'm now forced to look at this every time I have Glaucus selected. Ugh. My eyes.
Who knows, maybe this will mix it up for me and I won't completely hate it.
Maybe.
