Alvah Occults Legacy - 7/1/23 Chapter 10: Moon Children

[Granny Lawlor]

"And I'd do it again!" - Classic Morgaine - rofl

[oshizu]

Forget about Sergio's abs.  I'm #TeamTAga all the way!  *waves banners
Are TAga's facial scars hereditary?  No, I guess.  Scars aren't hereditary in real life, so no.
I'm so excited about Morgaine's final hookup. 
C'mon, biological clock!  Tick for Morgaine!

Chapter Four: Hideous!

This week begins with a rather terrible predicament.

Sergio calls for a date while Morgaine's Curse of Repulsiveness is active!



Absolutely no one is pleased to see her, and a few in the crowd even stop to vomit. She'd say it was rude, but to be honest, she rather felt the same way.



Sergio insisted he was "fine",



But the next morning he yelled at Morgaine for having humiliated him.



Yeah, no. No one yells at Morgaine; Morgaine yells at others. It was obvious what she needed to do.





It was also imperative that she get rid of this hideous curse.

The shops were no use.



So she spoke to the counsel of mages, whose only advice was that she needed to keep practicing her magic.



Morgaine took their advice to heart. Sure enough, with some tutoring,



And a long day of experimenting,



Morgaine was finally free.



In fact, she was free just in time to accept a welcome invitation from a werewolf she'd been chatting up the other day.



Morgaine: "You picked a spellcaster bar? How considerate!"



She was gratified. So gratified in fact, that she got a little adventurous . . . and downright dirty!





The reviews are in: werewolf Sally Colmillos had one heck of a time!



As if the end of her week couldn't get any better, Taga stopped by to say happy birthday.

Moragine: "You . . . you remembered?"





Maybe there were advantages to dating a Good sim after all!

Quick question: Is there a reason you call him TAga instead of Taga? I assumed the extra capital "A" was just a typo.

I know exactly why!  In your in-game screenshots of notifications, it's spelled as TAga, though in your narration it's Taga.  I think there is a typo, but it's on the mod author's part?  Or maybe they just wanted the first syllable of his name to be really aggressive  ;=)
Anyway, a lovely update!!  And yes, no one should ever shout at our dear Morgaine!!  I'm glad she's finally free of the curse.  And it was also really sweet when taGA (OK, I'm just joking, I mean Taga) remembered her birthday and brought her a gift!  What a sweetheart!!  She will crush him and break his heart eventually, sure, but he'll probably just forgive her and get her a gift to make her feel better.

[oshizu]

Haha, yes, Pippin's absolutely correct.
His name is written TAga in all the in-game notifications.
Awww, TAga was just a part of Morgaine's collateral damage.
They would've had such pretty babies!!!

With such an outrageous founder, Morgaine will be a hard act for her heir to follow!
Happy birthday, Morgaine!

Chapter Five: A Full Dance Card

With so many lovers to juggle, Morgaine's dance card was looking pretty full. Somebody had to go.

Bye-bye, Hailey!



With that pleasant bit of business concluded, she turned her attention to werewolf Adam Grim.

She got a bit too eager, too fast . . .



And Adam left feeling not too good about the situation.



Morgaine was prepared to give him a bit of time and wait to try again after those sentiments had faded, but the next day Adam had changed his mind. She still had it!





They decided to hit up the town together



And even check out Windenburg's night club.





Afterwards, Taga showed up at her house with a surprising question. He wanted to move in together, and not just as friendly roommates!

He wasn't even her boyfriend yet, but he was ready to take things to the next level.



He didn't exactly handle her rejection well.





Next, Morgaine herself popped up a surprising wish.

Yes, despite their amazing date together, she wanted to break up with Sally.



Morgaine: "Buh-bye!"



She did, however, want to take werewolf Ginger Fletcher up on her invitation.



Yes, a little romance was just the sort of thing to lift her spirits.





They even hit the park together for a gold metal date, when they ran into Bella.



Bella: "So, darling, I hear you've a couple new lady friends. Congratulations!"

Um, no and no. She'd already broken up with both. If even her bestie couldn't keep up with who she was dating, was she maybe going too fast?





Maybe it was time to slow things down for a change, sit down for dinner, and really talk. She decided to ask Taga out to a romantic restaurant in Tartosa.

Perhaps it was the adorable way he skarfed down his dinner, or perhaps it was just the wine,



But suddenly Morgaine was feeling quite giddy.



So she asked Taga to be her boyfriend, and he said yes.



It was the last gold metal date and the last relationship she needed.

She felt like celebrating.



Morgaine: "Just over here. I know a great, romantic spot!"



The water, the stars . . . his chest. Now that was a sight she could get used to!



And she didn't at all mind the fireworks, either.

LOL, Morgaine and her revolving door of lovers was making my head spin!
I was rooting for TAga and hoping that he'd be Morgaine's final stop, then saw that she still needs to break up 10 couples. Wow!

Morgaine hooked up with such attractive occult sims!
If only simmers exercised more imagination when naming their uploaded sims.
When I was browsing the Gallery in search of spellcasters to move into my simverse, I swear, half of them were named "Hot Spellcaster," "Hot Witch," and other nonsense along the same vein.
Oh puhleeze! Like I'm going to add three spellcasters all named "Hot Spellcaster," LOL!

What a crazy busy five weeks Morgaine has had. It's a wonder she's had time to go to work at all. *winks

[Granny Lawlor]

Morgaine really enjoys being mean!
I've done the Serial Romantic a few times, never the Villianous Valentine but it's always felt like a chore. You're making it seem much more fun!

The break up 10 couples thing isn't just about romance. Supposedly, from what I'm reading online, you can either do a romance "leave them for me" OR a mean convince to break up with based on friendship. Unfortunately, the romance interaction isn't popping up, and the mean action is failing despite maximum friendship. The aspiration is apparently bugged, so I'm trying to figure out what to do about that.

As for gallery sims, a lot of them are titled "Hot Werewolf" etc, but when you actually put them in your game they have a real name. For example, Adam Grim's download name is "Sexy Werewolf (no cc)", but the actual sim was already named "Adam Grim" without me having to do anything.

Morgaine actually didn't get a promotion this week because she was too busy romancing, ha!

Well I'm glad I've opened your eyes to the potential fun in romantic chaos! Hehe.

[PeregrineTook]

Awww, that lucky TAga/Taga!  He gets the good fortune of being Morgaine's future ex!!  Of course I was low key pulling for Ginger, but Taga is a really good choice as he'll spoil her rotten and she'll treat him rotten!  Well, rottenly, but I was trying to keep it consistent.
And yes, if even the renowned Bella Goth can't keep up with Morgaine's relationship juggling, she might be going a bit too close to warp speed  ;=)

As far as Morgaine's romance - or perhaps just baby maker - options are concerned, I downloaded 6 sims from the gallery and added them to the world. Two had bad compatibility with Morgaine, so they haven't been featured yet. Of the four she had neutral or positive compatibility, Morgaine popped a with to break up with Sally, so she's out. That leaves Taga, Ginger, and Adam. We'll see how it goes!

Chapter Six: Our Girl, Chaos

This particularly chaotic week begins quite ordinarily, with an invite from Morgaine's bestie.



Heck yeah! They hit up the festival together.



Morgaine: "Expecting number four, you say? I'm so happy for you!"

It's a potent reminder that Morgaine needs to produce at least one, and she's not a young adult anymore.



Still, she searches the crowd for married folks, and - surprisingly - not for romance for once.

Happy couples are everywhere, and Morgaine's not one of them. She can be happy for Bella, but everyone else needs to pay.

Morgaine: "Why, hello Geoffrey Landgraab!"



Morgaine: "And hellooo Eric Lewis!"



She follows up with each of them, carefully cultivating friendship and influence,





But strangely neither man seems interested in breaking up with their spouse.





Winterfest rolls around and, being an Evil sim, Morgaine doesn't feel that holiday spirit.

Still, she at least shares a special kiss with Ginger.



They even go to the Spice Festival together.



Where Ginger asks to make their relationship official.



Thankfully, after one miserably boring holiday, comes one more to Morgaine's taste: Brawl Day!

She heads to a local pub to get her fight on!

One . . .



Two . . .



Three fights!



And it's still not enough to satisfy Morgaine, who concludes that, really, she didn't get to do everything she would have liked to this holiday. 



By special edict of the Watcher, the next day is also one of Morgaine's favorite holidays: Love Day.

The day gets off to a bad start when Morgaine receives a rather unfortunate phone call.



Still, she's determined not to let anything stop her from celebrating - by sending forged break up letters in the mail.

She's gonna burst somebody's happy little bubble!





In a flurry of mania, she sends thirteen break up letters: one to every coupled sim she knows, saving Bella of course!





The results are staggering. Five couples file for divorce.





You'd think Morgaine would be in high spirits after all that chaos, but she's still down in the dumps when Taga calls for a date.



She's not much fun to hang out with and even resorts to lashing out at Taga for being a Good sim.



She apologizes, but Taga's judgment is ruthless.



The harsh words leave her diving under the bed covers once she gets home. Was one mediocre date really enough to send him running for the hills? Or had he heard about all the chaos she had caused and disapproved?

Is it time to say goodbye to this lover as well?

So, you may be wondering what the early Love Day celebration was about. Well, I've been having some troubles completing the Break Up Couples part of the Villainous Valentine aspiration. There are supposed to be three ways to Break Up Couples, according to the internet:

Friendship Option - Mean Interaction, Malicious, Other Sims "Break up with . . ." : This interaction appears to be bugged. Even with maximum friendship, the sim will not take the advice.

Love Day Option - Another way to Break Up Couples is through the Love Day break up letters, according to one user on Reddit. These break ups did not tick off the requirement for the Villainous Valentine aspiration.

Romance Option - "Convince to Leave Spouse" : Honestly, this one is confusing. Morgaine romanced both Darrel and Simeon Silversweater (didn't bother to depict the latter), both of whom were in relationships, but the option never popped up to "Convince to Leave Spouse" and the Mean Interaction did not work. However, I tried again in a test save aaaaand now guess what the romance option is popping up and it's working.

I'm debating giving my sim credit for the things that should have worked, but didn't. Then I would complete the rest by doing a few more of the romance option, provided it actually starts working in my game file and not just a test save. Any input is welcome on this matter. Also, if you have experiences about completing this aspiration please let me know!

[oshizu]

Another productively conniving week for Morgaine!
I have never attempted the Villainous Valentine because, as you know, my sims are all pure and innocent. *coughs
Seriously, though, I vote that you count any actual breakups Morgaine caused, whether the Villainous Valentine aspiration acknowledged them or not.
Definitely those five divorces she triggered by her false breakup letters!!!
Another terrific week, Morgaine!  By the way, whose your Daddy (gonna be)?

On a separate note, I laughed to notice that Marcus and Moira had hooked up.  Really, Marcus?

[Granny Lawlor]

Ah, the course of Bad Love never runs true, or something like that. Is Taga history? That pretty, scarred face?

There are so many things that ought to trigger aspiration tasks but don't - friends in social butterfly being a notable one. It's your game and that break up other couples task seems almost impossible. I was impressed with the 5/13 results of the letters. I say move on. The biological clock is ticking for your lovely Morgaine.
