Hey, since it sounds like you're not really familiar with spellcasters-- Scruberoo works on other sims too, and most objects!  Almost anything but plates can get that cast on them.
Oh, and Waterfall in a Bottle-- kind of useless for hygiene, but if your sims catch fire they'll use it to put themselves out.  I've never been attacked by fireflies, as many times as I've been there, but they have set themselves on fire from failed traps.

[Teresa]

Chapter 2 has been posted.

@Brian_Z
Yeah, I haven't played Spellcasters a lot and I was excited when I saw the possibilities of Scruberoo. 
Now, the jungle I love.  I love when they use the shower in a bottle while sitting on the toilet.  That seems to be a favorite.  Since I haven't played many spellcasters, when adventuring in the jungle, I tend to let them have the bottles of water.  Mine explorers always end up on fire at least once.

4 toddlers at once... I think I'd shoot myself.  Have Caitlyn keep experimenting, Potion of Plentiful Needs would really bail you out here.  All you need is apples, and also she can give potions to Billy.  And yes, he can drink them.
Overcharge won't kill you the first time.  But you get a moodlet for 6 or 8 hours, and if you overcharge again while that's still on you, that will be fatal.  As you take perks after leveling up spellcasting, you'll build less charge and eventually never have to think about it.

[Teresa]

Thanks for all the advice.  That will help me for sure.  I know it took awhile before I feel like I know vampires, so now it is time to learn the spellcasters tricks and secrets.

I had to take a few days off from playing after the toddler invasion.  But I also know I will continue to load them up each time and run each set through the goals as a set.  Torture by toddlers lol

Hey, looks like I've found a life states buddy!  Glad to see someone else also tackling this dynasty.
Billy pretty cool, but Caitlyn just steals the show for me.  Of course, the shots back and forth of the parents passing out in the midst of toddler care was just too precious!

[GlazeyLady]

Love all the shots of the exhausted parents, and then the toddlers too - what a hoot!

one more update for this week
Chapter 3

[Brian_Z]

I wonder why you couldn't put the fire out?  Sometimes there's a very specific spot you have to click to find "Extinguish," but you should have been able to call the fire department.  Weird!
If you go to Manage Worlds and click the household, then each member individually, you can see occult states for each.  It's possible for adopted kids to be occults too, but it's pretty rare.

[Teresa]

Yeah the fire was weird, but I think it was actually on the floor between the sink and the shower so she couldn't route to it.  She had the option to Extinguish, but was route failing.

I was waiting on the infants to become toddlers before looking at all the occults, and then I closed the game without checking last time.   It is top of my list when I open back up again.  This weekend. 
I expect all of the adopted kids to be human and will need to be "turned" before moving out.  I am hoping the two youngest have at least one spellcaster, but since they won't move out until they do their YA stuff, if it definitely probable that they will not be moving out in age order anyways.

[Teresa]

I am archiving this dynasty.  I am hoping to begin a new immortal long dynasty but first I need to get the will to play again.

Please move this to the graveyard.
