Welcome!

 Welcome to the Magical Mastersons blog!

Follow the lives of Caroline, Peter and their four children as they navigate jobs, fame and family... oh, and they're also Spellcasters. 

A little about me... I've been a Simmer for years. I started off with The Sims for PS2, and have also played 1, 2, 3 and 4 on the PC too. I'm British, so use British spellings of things of course. 

There is not a huge amount of lore in my games as there is with many SimLits. For example, there's no history of animosity between humans and Spellcasters, although Spellcasters tend to keep their powers to themselves, only telling close friends. This isn't necessarily because they think humans will develop any animosity towards them, more that they don't want everyone and their dog begging them to cast spells like they're performing monkeys.

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Last Days of Adolescence

Image
  Narrated by Apollo Masterson The bonus of having two older sisters who'd gone through university was that they were able to give advice on how to do well. One thing they'd recommended was to work on my research skills. It made sense, given that I was intending on a science degree and would need to know about the latest medical research. Less obvious was the need to work on my debating skills, as I wasn't going to spend my time arguing as a lawyer; but it was supposed to help with my public speaking skill nonetheless, as I'd be doing presentations as part of my degree. Although my favourite fitness activities were using the treadmill and the weights machine, I did also enjoy an occasional bit of yoga. It was a good opportunity to slow down and relax. After school one day, I came home feeling pretty angry. Even after football practice, I could still feel myself clenching my fists and teeth.  What's going on? Where did this come from? I asked myself in the bathroom m...

Chapter One: Just Starting Out

Image
  Narrated by Caroline Masterson "Wow, this place is huge!" I exclaimed as we stood in the open-plan living area. "I know! For a starter apartment, it's amazing," Peter replied. "I could see us being comfortable here for years." We stood quietly for a few moments, savouring the experience. I'd wanted to live in the city for most of my life, and now it was finally a reality. Despite being married, I still didn't feel like a grown up, and the large apartment exacerbated the feeling somewhat. Hopefully the feeling would pass soon. The second thing I'd wanted to do for most of my life was become an actress. I'd been somewhat shy at school, and had only been in a few plays. It had really helped my confidence, and I loved the feeling of dressing up and pretending to be someone else.  After managing to get a job as an uncredited extra - everyone had to start from somewhere! - I gazed out at the city skyline. I'd only been to San Myshuno a ...

Chapter Thirteen: No More Toddlers!

Image
  Narrated by Caroline Masterson One evening, I decided to head over to the Jasmine Suites Apartments to visit Anastasia and her family. Alexander was absent - I had, in fact, just left him at my place - and I met Helen in the hallway. "Hello! You must be Helen," I smiled. "Yeah, that's me!" she said. "Who are you?" "My name's Caroline. Your older brother Alexander is friends with my daughter, Erytheia," I explained. "And this little girl is my daughter Artemis." "I'm not little, Mummy," Artemis replied, not looking up from her tablet. "Sorry," I grinned. "Why don't you say hi to Helen?" Inside, I got chatting with Anastasia. Her husband Nicholas was busy on the computer, but still said a friendly hello. "So, how do you like living in the Spice Market?" I asked. "It's great," Anastasia smiled. "They've got a lovely little Indian food stall, I love a good curr...
