Magical Mastersons: A Ginger Spellcaster Family
I decided to document the lives of generation 2 of my Masterson Family in their own thread, mainly so I could keep all their updates in one place.
Who They Are
The title is pretty much self-explanatory (I couldn't really come up with a cool title, and it's likely that the descendants won't all be redheads in the future, nor will they all have the name Masterson, but they do all descend from my original couple).
Whenever I start a new save, I pretty much always create a married couple in CAS. So it was last May when I created Peter and Caroline Masterson. Realm of Magic was new to me at the time, so I wanted to explore the Spellcaster lifestate, as well as the acting career and fame system.
They proceeded to have four children, two sets of twins.
Erytheia and Xanthe are the older pair, both female. Erytheia is from the Greek word "erythros" meaning red, and Xanthe is from "xanthos" meaning yellow. I always assign my Sims a particular colour and have all their outfits primarily be that colour, so I thought it'd be fun to give these two colour-related names.
I then continued the Greek theme by naming the next set of twins (girl/boy) Artemis and Apollo, who were actual twins in Greek mythology.
The kids were raised in San Myshuno, and they all currently live in Glimmerbrook. Peter and Caroline now have nine grandchildren!
Peter is a concert virtuoso, and Caroline is a Silver Screen Icon and a Global Superstar.
Marriages and Grandchildren
Erytheia married childhood best friend Alexander Paraskevas and they have twin girls Athena and Sophia. Erytheia is a chef and Alexander is an author.
Xanthe had a brief fling with a guy named Logan, which resulted in her falling pregnant. Logan wasn't ready for fatherhood and they split amicably. Her son is called Theseus. She later met and married a guy called Joe Baker, and they have a daughter together called Ariadne. Erytheia and Xanthe live with their families in one big house in Glimmerbrook. As if the chaos of eight Sims wasn't enough, they also have two dogs! Xanthe is also a chef, and Joe is a top mixologist.
Artemis is in a relationship with Leo King, and they have two children, Persephone "Sephi" and Cassiopeia "Cassi". They are not currently married, although they may do in the future. Artemis is an astronaut and Leo is a scientist.
Apollo is married to Calliope Papadopoulos and they have triplet sons Jason, Hector and Perseus. They originally lived in Willow Creek, before deciding to move to Glimmerbrook. He sometimes jokes that Glimmerbrook should be renamed Gingerbrook. He is somewhat of a jack-of-all trades and has tried many different careers, whereas Calliope is a successful gardener.

Other Details
I play this save on the Long lifespan. I am British and therefore use British English! :D As for SimLit style, I'd say I'm a combination of plot-driven and game-driven. I am not someone who extensively plans out my saves and fits the screenshots to the writing, but I do have ideas for this story (as in, kids' names etc). Sometimes I'll come up with ideas whilst playing. But I don't leave my Sims to their own devices with only the occasional intervention, I'd be too worried they'd do something stupid :D I do have mods, but don't use PosePlayer; I just press pause and take the screenshot.
