Townie Makeovers, 1 of 6 (??)
@stargazer-sims got in the first request, for Sage of Practical Magic, Simeon Silversweater!
I've made Simeon over for a few other saves, but I wanted to take him in a different direction this time and give him a very "Earth Father" feel.
Hope this satisfies!
BTW, there are still 2 empty slots if anyone else wants to request my take on a townie. O,o

Rags to Witches: Day One
Rather than splitting posts up by weeks, I'll go by content. Some days my Simself was very busy, other days were just about the grind.
For reference, my goals for these are as follows:
Must wrap up within three weeks of gameplay.
Must have a functional home, as per RUNAWAY TEEN rules (bedroom + bathroom + kitchen).
Must be at Level 3 minimum of their various occult (ie, have levelled up twice).
This time I'm putting my Simself through it. Like Min Jun she's a Young Adult, has the GLOOMY FREEGAN + GOOD traits and Level 4 Charisma and Level 3 Cooking simply because I hate starting adults with zero skills - not because I'm afraid to grind but because it feels so unrealistic (and also because I didn't want to set myself on fire).
Day One started out in the Magical Realm. Temporarily I was a teenager to cheat myself the GOOD MANNERS and COMPASSIONATE traits (I'm allowing for those as strictly speaking, they're not marketable) only I got stuck with a cake that was not at the centre of the table. Being a community lot that I was currently in, I couldn't go into build mode and move it, or put it in my inventory without taking a piece. So, fail.
Simmy therefore ended up in the Celebration Centre for a second cake (this is looking like one of those Sims 4 roommate memes where all they do is bake white cake) - and getting major low fun moodlets due to her FREEGAN trait.
Being that I had wasted half a day on this BS, I cheated my needs back to green and returned to the Magical Realm, where it took me roughly four hours to walk across the lobby and introduce myself to the Sage of Practical Magic, Simeon Silversweater.
"I've impressed you with a POLITE INTRODUCTION so let's do a bit of idle chit-chat so that you will teach me all that you know..."
And yeah. Part of the reason why I did cheat myself GOOD MANNERS is because unlike Werewolves and Vampires where you can unlock a lot on your own (and for free), learning spells is dependent on either spending Simoleons on texts or buddying up to the three sages - and they will only agree to teach you if your Friendship bar is at least the halfway point with them. So I figured that the boost from a POLITE INTRODUCTION (and some charisma) would help to counterweight my disadvantage in this area.
Some more flattery (and photographs) later and Simeon delivered the motherlode where this challenge is concerned - the SCRUBEROO spell 🎵
"You must have foreseen the amount of dumpster diving in my future - thank you."
From Simeon I also learned the Potions of Good Fortune and Plentiful Needs (he really gets what this challenge is all about) and then worked out my biceps (look I don't even know what muscles this is helping) by stirring a big old ladle aimlessly until I reached the NEOPHYTE level of spellcaster. I traded in my single skill point for DISCHARGE, which isn't a spell that I'm currently planning on using, but will unlock using less discharge myself to cast spells when I level up once more.
Then after selling the Literalite (§125) I'd dug up behind the Magical Realm HQ, I jetted off to Moonwood Mill to work on my art skill. Which as you can see, I really needed to.
Somehow I sold three paintings and reached Level 2, only to develop a very inconvenient FEAR OF FAILURE. Given the 'masterpieces' I was churning out, it tracks.
Since I have the RENAISSANCE SIM aspiration, I reached Level 2 in the Logic skill before I zoomed over to Grimtooth for some free chips, then placed my little tent outside and called it a day.
DAILY TOTAL: §191
