Insimenator.org

I read through page thirty of the forums for something like this, but couldn't find anything. There was a thread on Brandi, but it was more about the sex of her subsequent children.
Anyway, this is something I'm very very curious about for some reason. I just think it's interesting, because everyone has them (unless you deleted them), yet, I'm sure their lives must different from person to person... kind of like hearing about the similarities and differences of the lives of twins separated at birth, but this takes it to another level with the identical people.

When I say default sims, I mean the ones that come with the game.

I'm such a fool because I've fallen in love with them so much that I can't bear to age them past adult.

The Goths: The truth is Don has no interest in Cassandra, so when she tries to kiss him... well, let's just say she has a visit from the Therapist. After that, she tries to propose to him instead, and another visit from the Therapist ensues.
Mortimer on the other hand seems to be having better luck as he proposes to Dina and she accepts! But the truth is revealed as Dina goes to the back of the house and secretly meets with Don. She reminds him of their plan, and how he has to marry Cassandra.
Mortimer and Dina get married pretty quickly. Mortimer introduces Dina to his hunky eldest son, Hector Goth (I added him as college guy, older brother of Cassandra). Unbeknownst to anyone else, Dina becomes very very interested in the hunky son. Anyway, Mortimer and Dina get married and engage in woo-hoo. Nina doesn't seem to enjoy the wedding, but Brandi sure did.
Don and Cassandra get married immediately after, and Don actually refuses to woo-hoo (poor Cassandra... he's just that turned off by her)! She has another appointment with the Therapist (she has like season passes to the Therapist now basically).
Now that that part of the plan is complete, Dina is able to reveal her true colors as she changes to romance aspiration. She and Don rendezvous in the master bedroom. Mortimer and Cassandra catch them and are horrified. Cassandra exits reality for a moment to visit her Therapist again.  
The question is how did they find out? Apparently, the dma maid has been spying on behalf of the paparazzi.

I guess that's enough of mine. I hope I didn't bore y'all too much. Like I've been saying, I'd love to hear what y'all did with your default sims.

So far I've killed off Angela Pleasant and Dustin Broke then resurrected them as zombies. Nina and Dina have had a huge falling out, and Mary-Sue kicked Daniel out on his arse due to his indiscretions, of course. I thought I'd start a new game with my sims in Pleasantview, since I usually play in Strangetown and thought I could do with a change. ;)

ive nevere played defalt sims i make my own sims

Cynara Blade, I don't mind hearing about your Strangetown sims.

Satsoveranddone, I make my own sims too, but I also like playing with already established ones. Also, I'm kind of weird in that I can't and have never deleted a family before unless I created it but I realize I messed up so I have to remake them. I also use the stories that happen with my defaults as inspiration to make new sims: like Dina eventually marries the male maid (Remington Harris) and that led me to create the Harris family which led me to create the Maidz family; also, Dina's love child with Don led me to create an orphanage/group home owned by the Shoe family; those two dogs that come with Pets (I think their name is Crittur), well, because I couldn't put them in their own lot alone, I ended up making the Pound family (who own a pound).

Things I usually do when I restart the default hoods...

- Mary-Sue brakes off with Daniel after he cheated on her and kicks him out. Sometimes her parents move in, sometimes they don't. Maybe I should move out Mary-Sue for a change and see if she'll go along with Kennedy Cox again, like she did before.

- Poor Daniel is literally poor and has to find the cheapest hut available ... or he moves in with his sister. Something John doesn't enjoy too much...

- without my intention, John once cheated on Jennifer by flirting with young Miss Kat. He's such a friend of animals and nature ;) Jennifer and Lucy moved out straight away and left John with the Labrador family dog behind on a Sims 1 style farm.

- The marriage scenario at the Goth's Mansion decides whether Don will live his casanova life or become a married man. The odds are against Cassandra, unfortunately, who then throws herself into business and eventually finds new love with Darren Dreamer / random CAS sim / a kitten / combination of those options.

- Mortimer marries Dina and Alexander is sad. Well, redecorating the house is more fun than playing them.

- Nina's worst fate was when she ended up with triplets, had a short affair with a CAS sim and forgot to care about the kids, so they were taken by the Social Worker.

- Malcolm Landgraab of Bluewater Village usually fathers several children with some townie ladies, then buys them a house and pays his fees, while he lives with his best friends in ... ahmm, don't think this is the right place for that kind of story.

- Cyd Roseland is one of my favourites, though his dog isn't. Currently, he pursuits a career as an author and owns a beautiful house in the city, unfortunately he's still single.

- The Larson twins of OFB hook up in the technology business and find some pretty servo partners, while Chester Gieke is just plain weird and Florence de la Rosa lives a peaceful life with her cats and her lovely husband, a former Police officer.

- I usually don't bother to play Strangetown, but when I do, it's mostly about makeovers. A.J. Loner is incredibly versatile.

- Veronaville is my favourite and all about Mafia, hate, crime and corruption. I can't bring myself to let any of the old patriarchs die, though Mercutio Monty is ready to take over the lead, counselled by Thomas Hagen jr. and the rest of the mobsters. I love that crew :)

- Olivia Monty is brought back to life and has her kid(s), then she's to marry anyone with high influence ... Police Chief, Mayor and so on. Bianca has a secret affair with Kent, while she chooses to turn down Thomas on the other hand.

- Goneril can't stand Albany anymore and runs off to the city or she proves to be a wise strategist and becomes second head of the Capp family. Kent Capp runs off as well, becoming a lonely scientist. Cornwall tends to be a criminal ... either a mastermind or head of the local Bank. Unless he's killed in a tragic accident.

Well, I also loved SaraMK's merged neighbourhood, but only featuring Pleasantview and Veronaville plus the subhoods. Except that the sims did not really mix and mingle how I had supposed they would.

Well ,I have replayed Pleasantview so many times. Thank God its easy to reset without reinstalling! I mainly play the Brokes. At the moment, they're happily living in a little country cottage (I just love the seasons country collection!) with Dustin about to go to college, leaving his fiance, Angela, with Brandi & Beau. She miscarried her 3rd child-wasn't intentional. Here she is afterwards-keeps having nightmares:

(http://i16.tinypic.com/4m35o43.jpg)

Only thing is, Angela is hiding a secret, she is pregnant..........

Haven't got any further than that!

Miss Loaf, I never got around to playing Veronaville, but you made it sound so intense that I'll definitely have to. Also, I've never heard of anyone having Daniel and Mary-sue reconcile (I break them up immediately, though Mary-sue is pregnant with fraternal twins (through insim) and she doesn't know it, and she takes Daniel and Kaylynn's love-child with her and moves into her parents home; she raises him well). :D I had Daniel mooch off of his sister once too.
One thing that's funny is I like the dog but I don't like Cyd so much; he marries Tara Kat and after losing his job, he becomes abusive to the dog- so Tara gives the dog away; Tara's really his rock.
Nina had triplets? In one of my incarnations- Nina had six children with six "fathers" and Dina had fourteen by fourteen different people (not all men), but she ditches Nina to marry Mortimer (having more children there (not all Mortimer's) leaving Nina with twenty kids; they get taken away by the social worker.

Foxy Baby, that sounds exciting- would love to hear what happens next. I would have never guessed that was a picture of Brandi! She looks so sad in the pictures. I'm so attached to Brandi that she's like the only one I can't bear to give a makeover to.

They are called "pre-made sims" - the default sims are the Grim Reaper, the social worker, etc, with which you can't interact.

Anyway, I like mostly to play with Brandi Broke, make for her a rich sim, who accepts all her 3 kids, and after they go to college - make another 2 babies, who surprisngly are girls.

Once I had a surprise with Cassandra. I enterred the Goths, with intention to make Don leave Cassie at the Altar. This time I made Don selectable, and orderred him to get married. Now Cassie left him at the altar, and dissapeared. Couldn't find her at all, and had to exit without save...:).

Usually, I resurrect Bella - can't see Mortie marry to another.

I don't let Daniel to break with Mary-Sue. I pass them to a new house, and hire a new maid. Mary-Sue, with a new sexy makeover, beats any other female, and Daniel is crazy about her. No more different jobs - they have the same job, thus the old goat can't cheat on her...:).

I resurrect Darleen Dreamer too.

Because of Uni EP, I choose only the families with kids, and move all the others to the Family Bin - they are redundant.

I thought Grim Reaper and Social worker are known as ncps.

That's the first time I've heard of Mary-sue and Daniel not being broken up. I guess I just can't see him being faithful when he's a romance sim and already cheating.

I planned on bringing Bella back (along with her Strangetown self for a multiple Bella crisis story arc) but never made it that far.

I thought about resurrecting Darleen Dreamer too, but then I don't know what to do with poor Cassandra... I don't know anyone else who would want her... I can't let Hector, the wunderkind, be the only successful one in the family. Besides, on the other side of things, I wouldn't know where to send Darleen expect for her husband...

Either way, you've given me a bit to think about, especially, now that in this incarnation of my game, I'm going to be able to merge all the neighborhoods- muhuhahahahaha!! :evil4: cough... cough... :hiding:

Who's Hector, the wunderkind?

Okay...where should I start?

In my last Strangetown game, I had Vidcund Curious establish a new sex-god image, so as a result he knocked up various women. Despite this new image of his, he couldn't shake off this habit he had of barging into peoples' houses and shoving them for spying on him through the telescope, so he pretty much remained the town fist magnet. Lazlo became a braindead slob with the Grilled Cheese aspiration and sat around home all day wolfing down grilled cheese sandwiches and annoying the shit out of everybody with his inane banterings about the merits of grilled cheese, whilst Pascal became a creature of the night as a means of avoiding having to deal with his brothers.

Loki Beaker became a vampire himself, and his image was overhauled completely by me, so that he looked more the part of an evil scientist. He threw Circe out after busting her and Vidcund together, became a plantsim and grew twin plantbaby boys named Elvin and Thorsten, who grew up despising each other.

General Buzz went insane after being abducted, and thereafter was relieved of his position as General. Tank, lamenting the fact that he never went on to college, became a military man like his father was, only to follow the same twisted path as his father. Ripp went on to have a better life after suffering the abuse of his father and brother, going on to college and taking on multiple sexual partners, both male and female. Oh, and Ripp became a goth too, shall I mention that? Buck went on to college, only to fall foul of a family of knowledge-aspiration sims I created. As a result of his wrongdoing, he was slain at their home and resurrected as a zombie.

I never bothered much with the Specter or Smith family, suffice to say that I had PT9 and Jenny Smith's marriage go to hell and fall apart due to a little indiscretion on Jenny's part - I have LizzLove's waterbed installed in my game, so go figure. Johnny became a zombie at one point, and I eventually had everybody in the Smith household turn against one another due to the Zombie Apocalypse hack I had installed at the time.

I've never played with the default 'hoods, so they're still intact...for the rest I use Clean Neighborhoods, so I don't have any of the EA-created people

I know, most of the EA-created sims do suck. It's not like I don't create my own, though...and get them to interact with the Maxians. I normally end up killing off the Maxian sims if I find them too dull to coexist with my sims.

Ugly sim makeover! It's a game in unto itself LOL

:laugh: I give a lot of people makeovers too- some, not for the better :evil4:

Cynara Blade, that's funny, interesting, and exciting all in one. I'm not sure what to do there because I'm always busy trying to figure out what to do with Pleasantview first, but thanks to merging the neighborhoods, I should think about it. Once I did play Stangetown, Jenny Smith died for some accidental reason, so I had that idea to make the general guy, through a series of events, fall for the Pollination Tech Smith guy, and have those two get hitched... that was many reinstalls ago though. I have no clue what I'm gonna do now.

Sorry, for the late reply. I'm just in the habit of looking at the last post. I didn't even realize there were post before that before.

I made him up; he's a young adult sim that's suppose to be Mortimer and Bella's first son and favorite. His name also follows his siblings' name scheme- children of Priam and Hecuba from the Iliad: Cassandra (the daughter that has the gift of prophesy because she agreed to sleep with Apollo, but cursed so no one would believe her after she backed out of the deal), Alexander (Not many people know but Paris was often called Alexandros in Greek (including the Iliad). He's the one that was left out to die because he was suppose to bring ruin to the land, found and raised by a poor shepherd, chosen by Zeus to judge a beauty contest (only because Zeus didn't want to get his own hands dirty), readmitted by the has father (Priam the king of Troy) as a prince, ran off with the king of Sparta's wife during a diplomatic meeting (that's a great way to establish good relations...), started a ten year war, and brought ruin to the kingdom), and Hector is Priam and Hecuba's favorite and often seen as the true tragic hero of the epic.
I made him up back in Sims 1 and brought him to Sims 2- He was suppose to be in school abroad during Sims 1.

Funny, I just recently started to play Pleasantview again after a 1.5 year break.  I also plan on playing RiverBlossom and Strangetown but not just yet.

So far, I have brought back to life Darleen Dreamer, Skip Broke and Michael Bachelor (so easy with the Insim).  

Cassendra broke up with Don, they are not meant to be.  Maybe she will end-up with Michael Bachelor since I made him an adult again (thanks to the insim again, a few clicks and it is done)  Though I needed to fix Michael DNA in SimPe because he is flag with grey hair even as an adult, he now has really nice blonde hair.

I also made the Oldie an adult couple again, they are more fun to play as adult.

I will try to make the Pleasants stay together but it will mostly depend on Daniel's behavior :tongue:

As of who will end-up with who exactly, I did not plan anything yet and will see what will happen.  I send my sims to community lot very often and so many things can happen there. :tongue:

I now have 4 romance males (Don Lothario, Skip Broke, Herb Oldie and Daniel Pleasant), they should keep the ladies in that hood pretty busy. :D

Poor Nina is all alone as a romance Sim.  I wonder if Lucy Burb would make a good romance sim.  Ummmm.

oh wow, this is giving me alot of great ideas. i used to play the pleasantview familys all the time til i recently got bored of them and starting creating my own sims. but, now im getting back into the mood of playing default families. well heres what i usually do:


Pleasantview:

-Mary-sue divorces Dan after seeing him cheat with the maid. but, Mary-sue leaves and Dan gets married to Kaylynn. usually i make them have 1-3 kids, which only makes Lilith more angsty and inspires her to move in with the Dreamers. but, Angela being the angel that she is loves her new step-sib(s) and stays with daddy and step-family. not until she gets preggers with Dustin Broke and they have to move out when they find out she's expecting twins. plus, later, Lilith and Dirk have twins. (runs in the family, i guess =D).

-as for the Goths, Morty marries Dina but soon dies to leave her his fortune (precisely what she wanted). then Don breaks up with Cassandra after a nice night of woohooing and she later finds out that she is pregnant. After having the baby she either moves in with the Dreamers and has a kid with Darren, or buys herself a bunch of cats. she always struck me as a cat lady type.

-Dina and Nina are a little more complicated. First, Dina gets pregnant with Morty before he dies. Afterwards, both sisters get pregnant by Don Lothario, and its fun to make them woohoo within the same day so that both sisters are pregnant with the same man at the same time. IRONY? but i usually make Nina have trips, just to add to the drama.

-as for the Brokes, Beau grows up and goes to college but i usually forget about him. Dustin moves out with Angela after finding out that shes pregnant. and Brandi usually has a baby with Don Lothario just to add more to her stressful little plate. i dont usually move them out and into a big house like i guess most people do. i love the drama that comes with that little trailer home.

-at this point, Don Lothario has:
1 child with Cassandra Goth
1 child with Brandi Broke
1 child with Dina Caliente
3 children with Nina Caliente
but, he doesnt stick around to take care of any of them, hes not really the settling down type of man. so, to teach him a lesson, i make him get abducted and have an alien child to raise by himself, to let him know what all those women went through. whos laughing now, Donny?


Strangetown:

-first i move Stella Terrano into town from college and make her marry Pascal Curious. Viddy marries Chloe Singles and Lazlo marries Lola. an alien wife for each of them. i change the number of kids they all have every time.

-Loki beaker dies in a freak accident in his science lab (just because his deformed face scares me). Then Circe gets abducted one night while shes "experimenting" and gets pregnant.

-usually i also make Ophelia Nigmos and one of the Grunt boys marry and make them have 3 kids, 2 girls and a boy. 1 girl and 1 boy are named for Ophelia's dead parents while the other girl is named for the Grunt boy's dead mother. aww.


but i dont really play Veronaville too much, i dunno why. also, Riverblossom Hills hasnt really proved to be one of my favorites.

Uhhh, u said u might make cassandra end up with michael bachelor, thats her uncle, Bella's brother

Miss Doh, Mayor already said this but Cassandra and Michael are related... just in case you didn't know. I change Herb Oldie a lot (which I tend to do to most of the default sims): I change him to family aspiration, change his stats around a lot, and make him a retired Captain Hero.

Mieley, I'm glad we could give you some ideas. Don's karmic baby is really funny. Now that you mention it Cassandra does seem like a cat lady. I can't bear to have Morty die for some reason- I have to admit, like Brandi, I have a real soft spot for him. Dina divorces Morty after being caught cheating with the male maid (Remington Harris). She also has the nerve to stay there and to marry Remington and move him in. I move Brandi into a new home, but it's still a broke-down one (just in a broke-down neighborhood to match); she and Angela have never gotten a job. Beau is goes up almost perfectly, but has a thing for Dustin! He manages to get that to work out! Dustin divorces Angela and moves out with Beau (who goes to college). Brandi ends up accepting her sons' lives as Beau is a good influence on Dustin (he goes all the way in the business career path). Angela still lives with Brandi and they become good friends. So Angela, who was suppose to have a bright future becomes a bum; meanwhile, Lilith moves in with Dirk and Derrick Dreamer, and Mary-sue accepts it as she becomes an overachiever over there. Dirk changes to family aspiration and Lilith changes to fortune aspiration and goes to college. She becomes a successful business woman while Dirk becomes an excellent stay-at-home father.

Oh yes you are right, I forgot about that.

Well then I will see what will happen.

Please tell us what you decide to do.

I played yesterday and here is the line-up in my Pleasantview if I may express myself this way.  

I already mentionned that I ressurrected Michael Bachelor, Darleen Dreamer and Skip Broke.  I also age down to adult the Oldies and Mortimer Goth. :)

The line up for now is pretty predictable but it can change any time, it will all depend on what they will do on their own (free will is at on in my game).  I also go often on community lots and many things can happen there. :D

So here we go:

The Pleasants are still living together for now and Daniel develop a new passion for his wife, they are in love again and still married for now.  The twins should go to college soon.  They might have other kids since I gave them extra days to live with Insim.  Though how long will the new passion last, who knows. :tongue:

The oldies, which are also young again, are in love with each other and still married for now.  They will probably have a kid of their own soon though they have an eye on other sims in the hood.

The Burb are still happily married though Jennifer have an eye on Skip Broke and Herb Oldie and John seems to like Cassendra Goth and Brandi Broke a lot.  For now, Lucy is still a kid but she should go to college.

After ressurecting him, Brandi quick Skip out of the house.  I ended her pregnancy and age up to kid Beau Broke.  Then she met Michael Bachelor.  They fell in love almost instantly.  They seem to be all over each other though they do like other sims too.  Michael recently moved in with her and the rest of the family.  They are not engaged for now.  Dustin should go to college soon.  Same for Beau when he will become a teen.  Both kids seems to agree on this union.

Daren Dreamer also quick his former wife out of the house (ok, I simply moved her out of the lot), he asked Cassendra Goth to move in with him and she agreed too.  They are in love and are not engaged for now.  Dirk should go to college too.  Dirk is not sure if he should approved the new union or not now that his mom is back to life.  Though they like other sims, Daren and Cassendra seem to have eyes only for each other for now.  Darleen has not given up on Daren yet.

What better partner than Nina Caliente could Don Lothario have?  They are both romance sims so they should understand each other.  Nina recently moved in with Don.  They are in love but not engaged for now and I doubt they will get engage with anyone.  Don got trapped once by Cassendra, he swore this will never happen again to him.  Jealousy is at off on that lot so they can do almost anything they wish.

Dina Caliente always had an eye on the rich Mortimer Goth, he asked her to move in with him which she accepted.  Him being an adult again is less interesting for her though, she seems to have an eye on John Burb and Michael Bachelor her former husband.  As for Mortimer, he seem to like Coral Oldie a lot.  Dina is starting to regret moving with Mortimer after being scared by ghosts 2 times so far.  The ghost must know abouth her and are trying to protect Mortimer. :tongue:  They are in love but not engaged for now.  Alexander is a bit puzzled by this union and he is secretly wishing for his mom to come back from the sky (though this will never happen).

Since I had plenty of romance sims already, I made both Darleen Dreamer and Skip Broke pleasure sims.  They feel in love and are now living together.  They are not engaged either.  Though Darleen is still interested by her former husband, Skip couldn't care less about Brandi.  He is keeping contact with his kids though.

Now that all of them are in love, I will let the drama unfold by itself and lmao I am sure at their misery.  I did not send any of them yet on community lots so they did not met any townies or downtownies, and they do not know all of the playable sims either.  When this happens, things will surely become more interesting. :D

I will keep you in touch of the next events if any is worth mentionning.

I actually used to almost exclusively play the pre-made maxis families until I became active in the InSim community. I had a tendancy to make boring sims who looked alike, and I was amazed by all the unique sims I see people make on this site, so I've been practicing at making sims and play mostly my own these days.. but I digress~ Anyway, I have played Pleasantview, Riverblossom, and Strangetown sims. I stopped playing strangetown mostly because I learned their genetics were all messed up. I used SimPE to fix them so my couples could have kids with the correct genetics, but ended up losing interest. I've probably done more with Pleasantview than any other..

Concerning the Goths, I first used SimPE to bring Bella back. Bella and Morty had 1 more daughter before he kicked it. Bella re-married to the gardener and had another girl. I ended up killing Bella and the Gardener off because it was too weird having her the same age as Cassy (and Cassy's kids had an Aunt younger than them..) Bella's last child was raised by Cassandra.

I let Cassy marry Don, they had 2 beautiful kids together, and Cassy divorced him later after catching him in the act. She re-married to Darren and had another daughter :) It took me a long time before I could let Cassy age to elder, I grew quite attached to her. Her oldest daughter now has a baby, so she's a grandma! It's going to be hard to let her die.. I almost always stop playing families before they get past a 3rd generation.

I ended up killing Don off, he was causing too much trouble :P

The Pleasants lead a pretty typical life.. I didn't let Daniel cheat on Mary-Sue (I liked her a lot!) and Angela and Lilith became friends in college... Angela married Dustin, and Lilith married that pale faced townie teen from NL (That dude grows up ugly, not very good genetics!!)

I brought Skip Broke back before Brandi died, so their third child ended up being a girl. Beu married some girl he met in college, and pretty much the same with their 3rd child. Brandi and Skip are also elders I haven't let go of yet...

I married Dina Caliente to Malcom Landgraab, and Nina married a downtownie. Malcom makes some pretty ugly babies, but their oldest girl grew up pretty cute. The had 2 girls. Nina + townie guy had a set of twins who were fairly attractive, and Nina just gave birth to a girl before I stopped playing.

I brought Darleen Dreamer back, but she and Dirk died in an unfortunate fire accident.

I haven't had time to actually *play* the game in a long time.

MissDoh, I've never resurrected the dead sims before, but the interesting combinations that happened were so unexpected and quite interesting. Please do keep us informed; it would be greatly appreciated.

Pandasan, I agree that some of their genetics are horrible and one that looks fine as like a teenager becomes butt ugly as an adult go figure. I completely know what you're talking about getting attached to one of your sims, and the whole age thing. I guess for me, I've allowed myself to pretty accept sims halting aging in some sims and having different aging rates for different sims, i.e. so I could have one sim be an adult and their child grown up to an elder. I like Mary-sue too (though I change her stats quite a bit)! I have her marry a cop ncp (Dorian Kauker; though I tamper with his stats a lot- I love the insimenator!)

Goth- I brought back Bella and they had another kid named Tristen I also aged Mortimer down to adult Cassandra got married to one of my CAS sims and has a son named Zachery, Alex went to college and married Lucy Burb and had twin girls.

Lothario- Don broke up with Cassandra and married Dina and they have two sons that are now teens.

Dreamer- I ressuructed Darlene and Dirk married Lilith and they had a son named Daniel.

Pleasant- Angela married Dustin and shes pregnant, Lilith married Dirk and has a son.

Broke- I ressuructed Skip and Brandi had her baby, who turned out to be a girl, named Alana. Dustin married Angela and she's pregnant and Beau is a teenager going steady with one of my CAS sim's adopted daughter

Caliente- Dina married Don and has two sons, Nina is now living alone

Bachelor- ressuructed Michael, not much after that

I think I read that Brandi can only have boys on her original lot, but I also remember Pandasan saying she resurrected Skip and the child was a girl, so does that mean resurrecting Skip makes her child a girl?

Yeah i think its  only if you ressuruct skip

I've kept a few of them, such as the Goths, Smiths, Dreamers, and Pleasants. Morty and Bella are still together and young on mine, Pollination Technician #9 changed his name to Roy, Darren Dreamer is like Ike Turner, and the Pleasants are two-timing each other behind their backs!

All the other default families are dead. I killed them. And I enjoyed it. Mwahahahaha!!!

Frida, how nefarious yet completely understandable. Dealing with the sims aren't completely like dealing with people in that we're probably less inhibited. We can act out fantasies and probably become a bit more sadistic; however, getting to release those dreams and tensions into the game (and not real life) may not be a bad thing at all. I also have to admit that some of sim sadism is because they act stupid or one that complains to me too much - at a certain point, I'm like fine, deal with it yourself! Also, I apparently have no problem killing someone for the sake of a storyline.

Michael Bachelor is Bella Goth's brother, making him Cassandra's uncle so if Cassandra hooked-up with Michael that would be.... very soap opera-ish.

As for the pre-made sims (I only really play Pleasantview):

-Pleasants: Mary-Sue caught Daniel with the maid and divorced him. (He moved into a small mediterranian-inspired condo by himself) Angela moved in with Dustin in college (on-campus lot). Lilith moved in with Dirk (They're both still teenagers. Darren moved in with Goth family)

*More to come. Have to go eat supper*

Oddly enough, sims can get it on with their parent's siblings. :devill:

I've loaded and reloaded Pleasantview many times in my course of playing, and there are a few things that generally always happen, but then sometimes I try to mix it up a bit:

Goths: Mortimer I have never married to Dina, he married Nina once which was surprisingly a good match and she actually fell head over heels for him, wanting to get married and have his babies etc (which was surprising for a romance sim) Usually though he gets a hot blonde from CAS with money/family aspiration depending on my mood at the time
In last few games, Alexander has ended up fighting Dirk for Lilith and winning coz hes got money in Liliths eyes, though last time I had him cheat on her in college and marry the new girl. Although once I made Mort's new wife move in with a little boy and Alex fell for him when they were teens.

Cassandra I am awful to because she has such ugly babies in my experience, she has married Don before, but usually has one baby catches him in the act and runs off to Darren who happily lets her in. However there have been times that she has been fed up with Mort's new missus that she dumps Don and goes for Darren.
ALthough this game they are not together and Darren is now an elder alone.

Dirk Dreamer I like him so he gets a nice ride usually take to college and make him excel, I let him marry whoever he really likes best male or female (3lightning and they are sold!!) and they have a nice house and kids. This time hes got a lovely girl despite her obsession with exercise.

Don Lothario is cool, he usually becomes a Knowledge sim and an Adventurer so his house looks like he could be Indiana Jones, (can't wait for the new EP so he can really go on adventures) normally he marries some townie or a CAS, although, he wooed the wife of that big family in Seasons and had some pretty kids with her. But this time hes married to Dina who is a family sim now.

Nina Caliente has been ignored or played to death, depending on whether I am bored with her or not, shes been scraping a living selling furniture to pay bills, and been living the life of luxury as Mrs Goth. This time I've made her a Pleasure sim and shes going to go on holiday and come back with a surprise to look after.

The Brokes are a favourite of mine, and usually I get Brandi remarried to a suitable townie and having more kids (she has had girls on the homelot before), Dustin and Beau get their names changed to Zack and Frankie, Dustin  has married Angela Pleasant if I plan on him becoming a regular guy, if I make him rich, he snubs her and gets a huge house.
However this time I've not let her remarry and is working hard, shes saved enough by now to move to a nicer home so I'm proud of her.

My relationship with the Pleasants is weird, I don't like Mary Sue or Angela and adore Lilith and Daniel (even though I disagree with his morals) I've kicked Daniel out before and moved the Oldies in, Mary Sue has a makeover and bags a much younger college man who when she died ended up with Angela.
This time I aged Lilith down to child, had Daniel kick Mary Sue out and she moved in with the Oldies Angela ran away and went to live with her, and Daniel married Kaylynn and had a baby...
However whats interesting is that he has dreams of Mary Sue, and constant wants to ring her, talk to her, play with her etc!

SO thats what happens to my characters!

They've all died and gone to Sim Heaven a long time ago and I don't remember much about what happen to them. But I remember that the Pleasants family got really messed up and Daniel was really having the time of his life.
I think the only one I’ve got left from the pre-made families is Brandi’s youngest son (in my game she only had one kid except for the ones that were already in the game). Can’t remember what I’ve named him. My neighbourhood is so crowed it’s a miracle I can actually have more Sims in it; the old people don’t die fast enough. :muahaha:

how do i reset the neighbourhoods without reinstalling?

My all dead and gone to sim heaven or in my case back up folder which comes in handy. I do my own neighbourshoods.

I think if you delete the EA games folder in your My Documents folder, when you start the game, it generates the neighborhoods over again. Make sure you take out or back-up things that you want to keep (like things in your Downloads folder for example).

I hope this helps.

:shock: Is that really true? I had no idea... I may actually have to test this... though, none of my stories have yet to do an uncle or aunt thing... I wonder who I'll test this on... :evil4:


I've never seen American soaps, but from the Korean soaps (which they call "dramas"), I've never seen something like that happen though there was something that almost happened between two people that didn't know they were brother and sister, but that dissolved before something really serious happened.
But if Cassandra and Michael is soapy, then what happens in mine is outright Greek tragedyesque; no, there's no son kills father marries mother, but well... Dustin marries Angela (everything seems fine so far); they have two children (okay, so now we've acknowledged they existence of "woohoo"), BUT Dustin divorces Angela (a bit more scandalous); then, well, backing up a little bit, someone actually had a bit of a crush on Dustin... and well, that crush is realized as Dustin ends up happily ever after with Beau, his brother (the one with the crush).
Angela on the other hand becomes like a younger version of Dina (having MANY babies with many babies' daddies); when Dustin and Beau's younger brother, Jacob, goes to college, things between him and Angela start heating up, and they get married, and she has two babies with him too. She eventually catches Jacob cheating, and divorces him... so Angela has married and divorced two of the Broke brothers (brothers 1 and 3), and has two kids with each of them (totaling four kids). She and Brandi become good friends, and both of them never get a job (those two just don't strike me as working types. Angela's too lazy and more interested in get rich quick type schemes, and Brandi just isn't that bright). That's as far as I've ever gotten, but I suspect there are more babies and babies' daddies in Angela's future; Brandi has yet to get her groove back, and I'm not sure she ever will...
Uh... you went to go eat supper, but never came back!


Wow, it's so hard for me to imagine Don as a knowledge sim! And Dina as a family sim for that matter!


That's funny, because I also like Lilith, but I like Mary-sue too. I'm okay with Angela, and I kind of make Daniel a bum who moves in with his one of his sons (the only one in the Pleasant family that doesn't hate him; his sister, Jennifer doesn't hate him either, but she's a Burb now).

thanks ill just have to dlete the premade nhood folders!

sorry but how do i backup saves????

You just copy the folder (the Sims 2 folder) and save it somewhere else safe and away from your EA Games folder (I keep it in a folder called "Sims 2 back-up" in MyDoc's, but that's just me); so you will now have an extra copy of the folder (which is your back-up), so if something ever goes wrong in your game; instead of having to go through too much trouble, you can just copy the back-up and paste it over your Sims 2 folder. You should update your back-up as much as possible - especially if something important happened that you don't want to lose. Just save your current Sims 2 folder (in EA Games folder) and save it over your back-up to create a new back-up.

*Basically, a "back-up" is just an extra copy that you create so you don't have to go through all the trouble doing things over again or reinstalling your game in case something bad happens to your game. Also before making a back-up, make sure you game actually is in fine working condition, because if you make a back-up of a bad game, your back-up is going to be bad (remember, a back-up is just a copy). Some people like to save back-ups onto CD's or flash memory.

*When I say "save over", that just means when you save it, "it will tell you that file already exists and if you save it, it will save over the old one (basically replace it), and ask you if you still want to save" - just say, yes.

That was quite pleasant and an exciting story line. :clap:

I love the Strangetown Pre-made character set.  

I have done several story threads, the best of which was wiped out when my husband tried to "fix" a problem with my old computer.  

In that thread I got Tank Grunt through college and he went into politics.  He ended up married to the gorgeous blonde Nightlife townie in the little black cap.  In virtually every reset of my game I hook them up, because Tank always makes a lot of money and she is a money aspiration sim.  They have great chemistry.  

Then I created a character, Joey Jones (who is uploaded somewhere in Sim Hunks). He also has incredible chemistry with her.  Joey is a pleasure sim whom I keep modestly employed.  In one thread he and she had an affair right before she married Tank and their first baby was actually Joey's.  After the Grunts had a couple more kids, blondie got abducted by aliens.  It inspired me to kill her, and presumably, Tank as well.  I removed their last baby with SimPE, and replaced him after the tragedy.  I also moved Joey onto the property at the same time, and I got a gorgeous set of pics of Joey picking up this infant off the lawn by the mailbox.  He ends up raising the kids alone, finally connecting with his own child.  It will be the story I eventually finish for upload (someday) but making good stories is a bit beyond my talents at the moment.  

I also love to get Nervous a job as a cop, and have him marry Loki's sister Lisa Singles.  He almost always ends up having an affair with Circe.  Both Loki and Lisa move out to start life anew, with Loki vowing vengence on Nervous, who by this time is usually a swat team leader, or higher.  Circe and Nervous had a baby in one of these threads.  Interesting dynamics when they all become "friends" again.  Oh! and a Lisa-Joey romance could develop.  

I will continue playing these threads until I get enough great photos in my storytelling folder to put the saga together.  I want it to become more than just a love story.  I want it to become a major Alien War with Polination Tech Nine, and General Buzz having to work together to defend innocent earthlings from a new, aggressive group of aliens.  

Pascal Curious always has a daughter, and she sides with the bad guys.  Drama, drama.

Joey, the real Star of this epic, transitions from pro party guest to killiing machine.  The rest?  It's my secret.

Happy Simming, everyone!

Michele

Before the Great Computer Crash of 2006, Cassandra married Darren and had 5 kids, all who were INSANELY pretty, and girls ;) Mortimer married Dina and impregnated her before he died. And his death caused the teenage Alexander to run away. I also got the Pleasant twins married to their boyfriends and mary sue broke up w/ her husband and kalynn or however you spell it, left him to get married to a sim I made, join the police force, and have a kid. I killed off Don btw ;) For Veronaville, I just hooked everyone up basically and I don't really play Strangetown except when I got the general guy impregnated with an alien ^^

Lordy, hil34!  
LOL!!  I never have General Buzz look through a telescope.  Now I know why I never will.  I have different uses for him, and he's always the character who is warning Strangetown of the "Alien invasion" led by PT9.  I think they became enemies when they competed for Jenny (Curious) Smith's affections.  I think General Buzz is a bigot when it comes to aliens.  What fun when I force him to work with PT9 to save Strangetown from the real invasion.

wow after reading all of your posts, i completely went a whole new direction with my sims. I know most of the stories were basically set and the couples were made. But that was kind of boring to me, so i switched it up.  I didnt want to marry cassandra to don, so i created a new family "the hunter's" (single mother, teenaged son) Don marries the mother and they have 2 kids. He was originally going to stay with the maid, but i decided to get rid of her after she moved in.  Nina and Dina parted ways. Dina's still living the single life, but Nina married Daniel pleasant after his divorce and had twins (boy and a girl) Cassandra married a Nightlife guy, Last name Toyoga or something lol they had a son named morty. Mortimer married an Open for business florist from the neighborhood, no more kids yet. and Alexander... well hes married but is also a cross dresser. But his husband doesnt mind. They adopted a little boy named Christopher. The pleasant twins also went a different direction. I married Lilith to Dustin Broke. Brandi Broke marries Landgraab and they have 7 kids. 5 boys and finally 2 girls. Not the best looking kids though. Angela is still looking for mr. right i guess But im thinking about growing up one of the Frat guys and marrying her off.. and their mom Mary-Sue remarried the male maid lol.. Darren Burb married a sim i downloaded, One of Jay Urbans honeys, who i renamed Trishelle. They had twin boys. Dirk married Kendall Bryant, one of nesley swipes simmies. No kids yet. I kept the burbs together ( for now) and they had twin girls, identical to their sister lucy. I married Lucy to my sim Brother. So i guess shes part of the family now lol they have 1 girl Jayleen and another on the way. I like the premade sims, but i much rather play with sims ive either downloaded or made myself.

Any ideas on who to marry Dina off to? i cant find anyone good enough or cute enough for her. HELP!!

I personally have a *thing* against people marrying Mortimer and Dina, He was with Bella for more than 25 years and shes still technically alive, and when hes an elder your gonna marry him off to some lady? No Morty and Bella, and Dina and, and... .Idunno

Hehe, after getting hooked on Strangetown lately I'm loving all these other stories :D

Me? I'm playing according to what happens in my own story. Namely, I broke up Johnny and Ophelia, paired her with Tank and him with Ripp - the two new couples are both three-bolters :D Of their own volition though, the two eldest Grunt brothers patch things up and generally get on pretty well :D Tank's currently in the middle of a makeover courtesy of his new girlfriend, while Ripp's beginning to sink :( (Not aspiration-wise, just in the story.) I have plans to get a sim abducted, but that's not 'til the sequel so I'm not saying who :tongue3: Same goes for all these other ideas brewing - haven't got there yet, don't wanna spoil things ;)

i love lilth, and so do the men.

Lilith Pleasant
23 + kids  by 16 diffirent men (every man in town + a few townies + a few of my CAS) she was just so heart broken that the one true love of her life wounld't marry her that she filled the violed with other men(and got pregnant)
she's on hubby #9

Angela Pleasant-Broke
38 kids too many all by Dustin. They later divorce when a pretty new girl comes into town Dustin gets dumped when don marries the girl
grand kids to count

Don Lothrio
45 kids
at last count 90 grandkids, 30 great grandkids

Brandi Broke
Had son Christopher, daughter Lindsey by darren (they where married)

Dirk Dreamer
moved Downtown to aviod Lilith and responiblty started a grocey store. is a milllionare.

Mary Sue and Daniel
no one kids for marysue, Daniel had 9 others
she killed him, then killed her self

Nina
29 kids most by don and morty

Dina
1 daughter by Morty, Victoria, one by Dustin, Harry. (morty died leaving money to harry too)

these numbers are true!!!! I like kids

I haven't played Pleasantview (yet), but since it's part of a merged neighbourhood I decided to make over some of the sims - some more than others:



Amazing what a little CC can do for Maxis sims, eh? ;)

I just recently redownloaded my sims game and being here has given me some wonderful ideas, but I would like to know, how do you resurrect Darlene Dreamer and the others, that would be cool to do. I do have insim and I have uni and nightlife.

They look dated, so I delete them.

so far i have merged all the default neighbourhoods into one and have sent 2 of the capp girls, Ripp, Dirk, Lillith and another one to college.  Ripp and the two capp girls are still Freshmen and both Lillith and Dirk are now Juniors and are engaged.

Angela, Mary-sue and Daniel was given make overs but was never played with after that.

as for the rest of the neighbourhood, I don't really play them....

Hmmm?, so many Sims - so little time!... ;)

Malcolm Landgraab IV is a Multi-Millionaire [Criminal Genius] who owns most of the clubs downtown and a big chunk of Bluewater (plus, he's currently married to Jodie Larson [Mad Scientist] - althou' he really loves Lucy Hanby [Maid]), Chester Gieke is his willing accomplice [Getaway Driver] and Jason Larson [Captain Hero] is trying to save the World from evil!. :)

Bella Goth seems to be very popular with the Alien community, and has a nasty habit of getting abducted... :o

Lol-My Malcolm Landgraab made the ugliest kids, but I persevered and his genes have mellowed of the generations, though the brow does tend to pop up now & again!
 I am resetting Pleasantview as I love giving the Brokes a make over. But I always let Nina have Don's baby, who then leaves it on his doorstep-he actually makes a great single Dad-very attentive!

Thanks to the insimenator, nearly all default sims have become part of my new cemetary. Wonderful place for sims who wanna see a ghost or have an unusual date. Finally I found something they are good for;)

I don't even play with my default Sims.

I leave them alone.

I'd rather play with the ones I created or downloaded from some of the best Sim creaters on here (InSim). More of a challenge. Start at Ground Zero or Square One, and work your way up.

The only ghost I had was the Servo robot. God, that was a mistake getting him.

Servos have ghosts?? Sweet! Ya learn something new every day! Hehe *runs off to kill a servo*

Yes they do!

I "killed" one. I didn't want it hanging around.

Death by satellite......Turned into a pile of comic dust.

lol thats how I just killed mine :)

Good job!

I'm proud of you :D

Wait a few "sim" nights, it'll show up.

does it make servo-ghost noises or regular ghost noises?

You know, I have no idea. I usually don't play with the speakers on.

sometimes I go a bit wild with them, but as for now, I´ve not touched them for a while. I had a family-thing going on with two students from the university lot - large families where all the girls had the same hair cut as children... and the third or fourth generation produced the first pair of twins in my game. I tried starting it up again not so long ago, but they´re still at the university, and I married the girl to another boy than first. they´ve got twin babies right now.

otherwise, I´ve had several alien babies from the curious family running around in that neighborhood, and I also tried my own version of the bella story, and the rest of that neighborhood.

oh, and the Dreamer family got back their wife/mother, and she got "real" triplets...

I've made Mary-Sure and Daniel Pleasant break up, and I'm on the way of getting the twins back on track. Dustin left Brandi and beau, and the new baby (not born yet) in the tiny house, and moved in with Mary-Sue, Angela and Lilith. Cassandra broke up with Don, and is moving onto Darren, who is neglecting Dirk.

I'm in the midst of re-arranging Veronaville to my liking, and I haven't been to Strangetown since I re-installed my game.

I gave them all make-overs and new houses. :)

you can read my story about lilith & her daughter it's called Forever Starts today

You all had such interesting stories and ideas. If no one minds I would like to share mine.
After Don left her at the altar, Cassandra moved out of the mansion, she called on her friend Darren Dreamer and he came over to console her, when one thing led to another and she became pregnant with his child, well she miscarried that child and she soon became pregnant again with his child, they decided to become committed and got engaged. Now Darleen Dreamer is back, she was an international fashion model and was presumed to have died in a helicopter crash but she survived and lived in the Bahamas with amnesia. So now that she's back will Darren go back to her (the attraction between these two is very strong) or should he stay with Cassie?

I played a default family for the first time since I first started simming 3 years ago. O.O I always play custom made sims so it was a departure to say the least. I've always like Strangetown so I went with the Beaker family.

Here's what happened:

Firstly, Loki Beaker would verbally abuse Nervous Subject to the point where he'd cry every 5 seconds, then proceed to make out with Circe right in front of him.
As a result, Nervous Subject would get frequent visits from the psychiatrist.

I took pity on the poor guy so after Loki went off to work, I kept Circe home and had her fufil Nervous' want for a hug. They looked like a cute couple, so slowly, I had them interacting more and more until they became BFFs and Nervous had developed a crush.

However, just when they started getting cosy, Loki caught them cuddling on the sofa and chalenged Nervous Subject to a fight.
Nervous lost the fight, but Circe got so ticked off with her husband that she broke up with him and kicked him out.

I readded Loki to the household, though, just to drive him crazy then I set about getting Circe and Nervous together. Whilst Loki stewed with jealousy, Nervous Subject suddenly rolled a want to "Drink Loki". O_o

I bough a cowplant and then-BOOM!-Circe was the one who got eaten.
For a while, Loki mourned his ex but then he started berating Nervous Subject again and the psychiatrist visists started all over again.

I was getting annoyed with Loki so I ressurected Circe via InSIM and had her whup his butt. She and Nervous Subject eventually got engaged and Loki was then eatten by the cowplant.

All in all, an amusing bunch of simmies.

I'm re-installing my game and I think I'm going to bring all of the Goth ghosts back to life. Interesting, hey??

in my game, Malcom landgraab is involve with Bella goth
some townies I have in my game are real, cuz I change their appearance
My enemy in the game is Joe Car, agh! he's a mean townie, he likes to pick on my sims.
mmm, I can't remember who I play as default

Now that you mention it Joe is a mean S.O.B isn't he? I brought back Darleen Dreamer and Darren broke off the engagement after he left poor Cassie at the altar and remarried Darleen. Cassie had a baby by Darren and she got back with Don and now she's pregnant by him. I think I'm just going to let her have a bunch of babydaddies and see how it goes.

Hmm, Since my last installation, I haven't played Desiderata Valley, Riverblossom Hills, Pleasantview or Veronaville.  Just Strangetown.  The Curious brothers have a curious story.

-Vicund Curious met and fell in love with an Island girl, Noelani Pyncheon, she was quite beautiful and innocent.  They had four children, Snowflake, Rainbow, Bane (who died from disease), and Keilani.  Noelani grew (they are quite the Travellers, let me tell you) and Noelani eventually got a job (can't remember what now), then they went to Japan and had a wonderful time there, Vicund learned to teleport, and Noelani learned a lot about meditation.  She became so relaxed that when she discovered her husband had cheated on her, she didn't get all angry, she was sad, and disappointed but agreed, for the sake of the children to give him a second chance.  Part of the reason he cheated on her, he admitted was because she was always busy and had no time for him anymore.  Since all he'd done was flirt with another girl (which he did all on his own), Noelani was willing to forgive him.  They reconciled and at this time Bane and Keilani were born.  Keilani had just become a teenager when Vicund drank some of his own Elixir.  Unfortunately, it was bad and he died.  They were all quite sad, Noelani cried for days, they'd been married 25 years.  Snowflake and Rainbow went off to college, graduated with honors, and went to live in nearby Bluewater Village.  Keilani is presently living with her mother who is on the look out for a second husband.

-Lazlo Curious married Stacey Phelps (an NPC added to the family).  He has two sons, Ephesus and Etruscus, the twins.  Stacey died after being struck by lightening (terrible accident), but that's what happen's when ya wanna birdwatch during a thunderstorm!  Lazlo married again (can't remember who) and had another son, Curious Phelps.

-Pascal Curious fell in love with Jessica Ebadi (a romance sim).  They fell in love and while she agreed to live with him, she simply refused to marry him, "marriage isn't in my plans," she said.  She didn't want to have children either, so Pascal found a scientific way to have the children himself (look if the aliens could do it to him, he could figure it out, he was bright).  His alien child, Galaxia died as a child (disease).  By Jessica he had Alpha, and two sons that I can't remember their names right now.  Jessica Ebadi had lived with him for 15 years and died of some disease.  Pascal is presently looking for a wife.

As for the Smith's:

PT 9 died while visiting some other sim (Cowplant ate him).  Jenny was heartbroken.  Johnny lost Ophelia who grew up and married River Smith.

Spectre's:

Ophelia married River Smith and moved away to her own home.

Olive got young again (thank you Pascal Curious), and she married Triste Spectre.  They went off to Japan for their honeymoon, a LONG honeymoon.

That's about it for Strangetown.

Bluewater Village saw the strange disappearance of the Tinker Family who one moment was there, the next, they were gone!  No one in all of Bluewater Village can explain it.  All that is known is that a few days later, the property was sold to Stephen Chaston and family

Cyd and Porthos lived many times in many neighborhoods, but I got sick of 'em and just deleted them.

Jason and Jodie Larson fared better.

Jason married Katelyn Gross (Townie) and they had a son, Chance.  Unfortunately she messed around too much, got some disease and died.  Jason married a second time to Kristen Singles who was definitely much better suited to him.  

I don't remember what I did with Jodie, I haven't played her in like forever.

The Goths:
Don leaves Cassandra at the alter. She cannot forgive him for this, and breaks it off.

Mary-Sue decides to stay with Daniel. She still loves him, and they have a family together. She chooses to focus on her career, until she heals enough to work out their conflict.
Lillith seeks revenge on Angela, after losing a big fight, and has an affair with Dustin. She later finds out that she's pregnant, and decides to move in with him, shortly before their baby is born. After their child goes to school, she wants to turn her life around, and begins a career in law enforcement. After Angela returns home from college, she works to repair their relationship. She constantly fights with Dustin to change his ways, but he resists. Soon, she decides to leave him to his crime, and takes their child with her.
Angela broke it off with Dustin, as soon as she discovered his affair. Not wanting to leave Dirk in the dark, she later breaks the news to him by inviting him over during one of Dustin's "visits" with Lillith. Angela leaves for college, after she graduates high school. She and Dirk have a casual fling at college, but they soon go there separate ways. Angela begins a successful career, and later has a small family.

Not being one to let anyone hold him back, he continues to do well in school, and goes to college after graduation. He reaccquaints with Angela in college, and they have a short-lived affair. He later marries another successful woman, that shares his interests, and they have a small family.

The Lothario:
Don continues his womanizing ways. After getting Nina pregnant, he invites her to live with him. They never marry, and continue to see other people, as well as each other. He wins over many, many women's hearts before he dies of natural causes.

After Alexander returns home from college, she convinces Malcolm to marry her. She moves in with Malcolm, taking a large chunk of the Goth fortune with her. Later in life, she gives Malcolm a son. She lives a life of luxury, and never has to work a day in her life.
Nina manages to juggle a successful business, a relationship with Don, and raising a child (with no help from Don). She is overjoyed to finally find someone responsible enough to run her business for her, so that she has more time for a social life. She and Don agree to see other people, and somehow make their flawed relationship work.

This is the most important (and interesting) part of the story, so I'll stop here. I've never had any interest in playing Veronaville or Strangetown. I might try the newer hoods soon.

LOL! My Don's the same way. I should use this strategy on him next time. Gwar har har. *strums fingers*

-The Oldies-
I had Herb and Coral become really rich and buy a nice mansion next to the lake. After that, they adopted a little girl named Samantha who grew up and went to college. When she got back, however, she discovered that both of her parents had died..
Real sob story, aha.

-The Goths-
I let poor Mortimer move out on his own and adopt two little girls, Payton and Jenna. He died when Payton was an adult and Jenna was a child. Suprisingly, little Jenna was never taken by the social services I guess because Payton always took care of her. They both got orphan scholarships and went to college..

Cassie and Darren got married and had three miscarriages. I know, I think there must have a been a glitch because that girl just couldn't fully continue a pregnancy. Anyway, the got a cat and died pretty happy.

Alex..I had him become an adult and killed him off. Didn't really have any use for him.

-Brokes-
Brandi met a guy and moved downtown. Dustin went to college but dropped out because Lilith was preggo with his baby. Yeah, I had Angela become a lesbian and Lilith took Dustin. So they ended up having twelve kids thanks to the Elixir of life.

That's pretty much it.
Oh and I killed Dina and Nine off because they seemed like spoiled little glossy-glossy barbie girls, ahaha.

Lothario:
Don and Nina have an affiar which results in a baby girl, Vanessa.
He then has an affair with Dina.  

Goth:
Don marries Cassandra.  He doesnt get the red married sign but a married a rich sim sign.  I change his aspiration.
Don and Cass move out of the mansion.
Everyone moves out of the Mansion.
The Mansion is converted into 3 Apartments for Apartment Life.

Dreamer:
Darren usually marries a NPC or Townie, I found he likes a girl called Demi who is a police officer NPC in game.  They have 3 or 4 kids.
Dirk breaks up with Lilith and ends up with Angela instead.

Broke:
Become rich and powerful for one
Brandi has a daughter as her first child instead of a boy, I call her Cathy.
The family change their surname to Brady (like Days of Our Lives.)
Dustin breaks up with Angela
Dustin is gay and ends up with Alexander Goth.

Pleasant:
Mary-Sue divorces Daniel, and hires a hitman to kill Kaylynn Langerak.  
Mary-Sue turns into an elder, but using a wish for Youth from the Genie and turns into an adult again.  She later marries a CAS sim, and they have 6 children.    
Lilith marries a CAS sim.
Angela marries Dirk Dreamer

Oldie:
Carol and Herb Oldie, adopt 2 further children and then died when the children are teenagers.  

Burb:
Daniel divorced Jennifer for infidelity.
He marries a CAS sim and has all the children his heart desires
Lucy marries a son of Don Lothario.

Caliente:
Dina resurrects Micheal Bachelor and they get married and live happily ever after.  
Nina has the daughter with Don and then another child with Don, a boy, Giovanni Caliete (later Lothario).  Giovanni eventually married Lucy Burb.

That is what is currently happening in my hood.

I sent all the Maxis made teens to the same college.
         Along with Alex, Dustin, Beau, Dirk, Lucy, Angela, Lilith, Ophelia, Johnny, Jill, Tank, Ripp, Buck, Romeo, Juliet, Hermia and Mercutia(I changed Mercutio into a woman to balance out the male/female ratio), I added a few
characters of my own.
         Bob Broke is the name I gave to Brandi's unborn baby.  He's  an outgoing, playful Libra.  Tiffany Burb is Lucy's younger sister.  She's a seroius mean Scorpio.
Pascal had twins that I named Alpha and Beta.  Alpha is a neat, serious Virgo man and Beta is a nice, neat serious Pisces woman.  The Curoius twins and the Smith kids are genetically fully alien.
          I resurrected Lyla Grunt and she and General Buzz  had one more child, a girl that I named Jane.  She's a neat, serious mean Scorpio.  There's also a haunted house where Leon the outgoing mean Leo, Diane the nice, playful Aquarius, Norville the lazy sloppy Taurus and Thelma the neat shy serious Virgo live.
         Strangly enough, Angela and Lilith don't get along very well.  Their relationship started out with whatever points the game gave them, and it went downhill from there.  I let the sims decide who to fall in love with.  I always wondered what would happened if I gave them free reign.  Are there sims that are desnited to fall in love?
   Alex fell in love with Diane(from the haunted house)
   Dustin fell in love with Ophelia
   Beau fell in love with Lucy
   Dirk fell in love with Jane Grunt
   Bob Broke fell in love with Mercutia
   Johnny fell in love with Juliet
   Tank fell in love with Beta Curious
   Ripp fell in love with Angela
   Buck fell in love with Jill
   Alpha Curious fell in love with Hermia
   Romeo fell in love with Tiffany Burb
   Leon (haunted house)fell in love with Lilith
   Norville (haunted house)fell in love Thelma (haunted house)

After getting bored with my story-type game, I started another one in HP's newest megahood. This time around I let Johnny and Ophelia stay together, and after spending some time in LiveJournal, the experiments undertaken by some of the members inspired me to try some myself:

More Smith Spawn: I cheated Jenny's age back a little, just enough to get her knocked up again. However, unlike the guys on LJ (to my knowledge), I have a little thing called the triplets/quads adjuster... random only version at that. With a family as fertile as the Curiouses, it was just asking for trouble; sure enough, she gave birth to three boys and a girl :smt120 Also, it seems Buck and Jill are destined to be together... :love6:

Alien Invasion: Pascal gave birth to twins Astra and Aries, and Vidcund had Vela. However, Pascal wanted to graduate three kids from college, so I got him abducted again. Thankfully he only had one more, who IIRC is still in infancy.

Pleasant Encounter: I packed off the Strangetown teens to Uni, along with the Pleasant twins and their SOs in the same dorm. I also added Stella Terrano and my self-sim for good measure, fully intent on some match-making with the Grunt brothers ;) After seeing what could result from a Tank/Stella pairing (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v653/tearzofrain615/sims/snapshot_94f024e8_954b0ab2.jpg) I just wanted to try for myself ;) I've also heard horror stories about Ripp and sim-selves, and just got curious... :tongue3:

Family Traditions: Now they've all finished Uni, I kinda scattered them across the 'hoods. Ripp and sim-me are in Bluewater (Ripp's acquired a blue aura and a love for white broomsticks ;)); Johnny and Ophelia are in Belladonna, Angela and Dustin are in Riverblossom, Lilith and Dirk are Downtown, and with Tank being the eldest I got the idea that Buzz would want him inheriting the family home, so I moved Tank and Stella back with his folks. Besides, there's that nice lookout tower with an expensive telescope and they're both knowledge sims... ;)

Back from the dead: Someone on LJ decided to see what would happen if a resurrected Glarn (sp?) and Kitty Curious started breeding. So I put an extracted Chip and Missy Grunt to good use ;) They're living in Belladonna and haven't conceived yet, but they can't have been that unhappy together - they score three bolts! Chip's had enough of the army though - he fancies himself as a businessman this time :D

We could do with a matching picture thread really, huh? Maybe I should go make/find one...

I spend most of my time in my custom hood,but when I'm bored I'll pop into Pleasantview for awhile,anyway,here is what I've done so far:

Goth:Cassandra married a reformed Don Lothario,they have a lovely teenage daughter named Cassidy,she still hasn't broken up with Darren yet(UH OH)I aged Mortimer back down to adult and he had a daughter with Dina named Tina and another daughter with Nina named Nena(they are "aunt sisters",LOL)He is still single,Alexander is still a child because I don't care for him very much,I may grow him up and pack him off to college.

Pleasant:Mary Sue caught Daniel cheating with Kaylynn,she smacked him around a bit and then divorced him and booted him out of the house,Daniel moved into a trailer next to Brandi and married Kaylynn,Kay gave birth to a truly ugly son named Skeeter.Mary Sue mended her broken heart with a brief romantic encounter with Mortimer Goth,she gave birth to my only set of twins in the neighborhood,Dino and Britney,they are surprisingly nice looking teens.:angel:Angela and Lilith are young adults in college,enjoying their mended friendship

Caliente:Not much yet,just the births of Tina and Nena,they both broke up with Don,I may set Tina and Nena up with Dustin and Dirk,I'm not sure yet

Lothario:Don is currently enjoying his new life and his marriage to Cassandra,they both love little Cassidy very much,I may remodel their house

Broke:Not much yet,I haven't really played them

Dreamer:I may ressurect Darleen,other than that I have little interest in them

So,there ya go,I love the Goth and Pleasant famillies so much I forgot about the others,LOL

I've fallen in love with Mary-Sue Pleasant. This time (after I had to wipe my hard drive clean and lost everything) she's become a doctor and Good Witch. She and Daniel live together, though once Angela and Lilith moved to college (they're getting along nicely, thank you) he went off and fell in love with Dina (everyone hates Don), while she and Kaylynn are quite an item. However, Kaylynn's gonna move in with another Sim soon, so I can make her playable.
Before that she and Daniel were racking up the conquests, Lilith ran away from home, and I ended up killing them all. Then after I ressurected them, Daniel and Angela (Miss Goody Two-Shoes) moved out-he became a Knowledge Sim, flirted with becoming a Plantsim, and just settled down with Elle Cox. Mary-Sue became an Evil Witch, slept with the entire Kim family, stole Cassandra's heart, and generally became a cackling green-hued terror. Kaylynn moved in with Sheridan Patchwerk and they had a fine life together.
Now I've just created two clones, Angie and Lily Pleasant (bless you, SimPE!), and they've moved into Academie Le Tour next door to the real Pleasant sisters. Can't wait to see what happens...

OMG i should play the default ones. They just stay in their houses and I use them for climbing the career ladder.  Are they fun...maybe i should.

Hey there Van! :wave: Hehe, thought you might find this at some point :D Haven't bred them yet, been playing different 'hoods - as well as a certain dare. You know, the one in Veronaville featuring a certain challenge? ;)

Speaking of which, bit of a spoiler but I can see why Tybalt's grown on you - he's having that effect on me too. Grouchy but lovable all the same :love2: I'll have to hurry up and post my progress on that so far.

Hmm well to be honest i have ignored all the Maxis sims so far, i just played with Don Lothario a little and he found another lady to hit on and got her pregnant :P
But now i feel like really messing around with them :D

Wow!  We all find such interesting ways to work our in-game simmies through life.  Some of you seem to love betrayals and mixed/blended families.  Lately (I'm still playing Strangetown) I have gone a generation back and created a family of my own, the Farngoulds who's son Elija becomes a college roomie with down-aged Nervous Subject and Lazlo Curious.

I love that the Insimenator can do that.  Nervous just graduated with a history degree (He can be seen in his younger, way gothed out incarnation in photo 1 below)and Lazlo got his degree in physics (gee.  what a surprise.)

I will start playing the Grunts, Smiths, Curious, and Spectre families as this first generation of kids moves on to having their own families. And yes, Nervous will have his affair with Circe. 

One thing I have absolutely decided is that Buck Grunt is gay.  I always felt a wrongness about his personality as a straight guy.  Jill Smith will age up with him, but they will only be bffs.  I am also getting Joey (my hero who is only a child right now) into a situation where his father either dies, becomes a vampire, or leaves for another woman, and Joey is left with his achoholic/druggie mother who loses him to the social worker.  He will be adopted by a gorgeous, loving gay couple and then go on to fall in love with Tank's wife, Solveig after college. (Image 2 below shows Tank and Solveig when they meet after college.  She was down-aged as well and graduated from another University.)  I already told the Joey affair part of the story in my earlier thread.  Perhaps this time I will get the photos right and my entire saga can be posted chapter by chapter.  May the Sims3 give us as many ways to play.  

Cheers!

Michele

I killed all of mine. Meadow Thayer was the first to die, followed by Goopy and the rest of the ape-faced goons.

I have just started to play out the lived of the default sims.  I don't have any photos to post but here is the tally so far:

Mortimer met one of my CAS creations fell head over heels and married her to Dina horror. They had a son Andrew who just turned into a teen when Mortimer died.
Cassandra dumped Don and married Darren Dreamer and had 5 children and is quite happy and has almost reached the top of her science career.
Alexander married his high school sweetheart and they have 4 children but Alexander is quite ill right now.

Mary-Sue caught Daniel in bed with the maid and kick him out, she later met a CAS hunk and they shacked up until she had a surprise set of twin boys. They are now married, and as the boys get ready to head to college, Mary-Sue is ready to become an elder.
Angela is married to a college sweetheart and owns her own art gallery and they have 2 children, her sister Lilith dropped out of college to join the military and met the man she lives with and has 3 children by.
Daniel, now and elder,  is living with Nina and she is carrying his child while they raise her son by Don. He figures he can have his cake and eat it too where romance is concerned shacking up with Nina.

Dina, pregnant also with Dons child, tricks Malcolm Landgraab IV into sleeping with her then claiming the child is his, he of course, marries her. After the boy is born she has another affair with Don, now she is wondering who is the father of this new child she is carrying???

Herb and Coral Oldie adopted another daughter and have raised her to teenager before Herb died.

I have just installed it on my new laptop a couple of days ago and so far.

Don Lothario & Nina :
He carried on his romance with Nina and when Dina found out she left, so soon on Nina became pregnant and was over the moon, they had a little girl called Emmie and Nina tried to make Don settle down and he propsed to her which she excepted. When Emmie was about to become a toddler Don died because he needs could'nt be fufilled. After that Nina (who is 16 days away from elder) started to bring up Emmie with no help, Emmie is now a child and look exactly like Don.

(http://)

Darren & Dirk Dreamer:
Darren married cassandra and they had a child Dylan then soon after Destiny, and Dirk married Lillith Pleasent and they had twins Darcy & Lori but lillith had an affair with Dustin Broke which resulted in Alec, But Dirck frgave her and he brought Alec up aswell as the twins.


Brandi Broke & Dustin :
Brandi had her third son Sean(now child) and married a self-created sim Lance Willams and moved into a very nice house that they built together. And since Lance was a family sim they had 3 children together, Elle(nearly child), and Zane & Zack(now babies). Beau is now in collage and has falling in love with Emmie, Nina and Don Lothario's daughter. And they are now married and Emmie is pregnant with a baby due anyday now. Dustin married Angela and had Isla but soon after had an affair with a self-created sim Zoe and Angela left him but still lived with him while Zoe could'nt get pregnant Dustin grew frustrated and it was apparent he was still in love with Angela so they re-married and had Micheal & Toby.


Jennifer & John Burb:
When Lucy was just a child they adopted baby Ross, and Jennifer became pregnant with twins but died the day she was supposed to give birth from depression and Ross was a toddler, John brought up Ross by himself while after the death of her mother Lucy became depressed also and could'nt care less about life. She went to university and never came back which upset John who married the maid also named Lucy, and they had Nora, Luke & Ollie. While Ross grew up perfectly and married Elle, and 7 days before he became an elder they had Kaylum.

Angela got pregnant by Dustin and had a boy, Aaron. I turned it around so that Lilith, despite being rebellious and hated, was actually not stupid and didn't go out and get pregnant. 
Anyway, Dustin hasn't been in the kid's life much at all, but Angela went to college and brought Aaron with her, then moved in with Lilith and her friends when she and her roommate needed a larger place (her roommate kept having kids, lol). Angela has had a few relationships, including one with Thrior's Gordon Haag sim (haha!)


Dustin has yet to go to college--I haven't played the Brokes in a long time. Beau is a child, but I did not let Brandi have the third kid. I want to get her someone with better genes, because both Dustin and Beau are not that great-looking as adults, to me.


Alexander went to college, and is sitting in the bin. I want to bring Bella back and get her someone to have kids with.
Dina and Mortimer got married, though he almost married a CAS lady, Genevieve, that was evil and seduced everybody. Didn't happen, though. Dina had quads by Mortimer then he died when they became toddlers, leaving Dina all alone to carry the burden of taking care of four screaming, hungry and stinking children.
I made Nina move in with her to help out with the kids, and she herself wants a baby (she has no one else in her life right now, no kids or anything). I changed her aspiration, and can't figure out who she should marry just yet. I will try to get them husbands, good-looking ones, cause I'd like the sisters to have some pretty kids, and husbands that won't cheat.


Cassandra got married to a Don Lothario's CLONE! She's pregnant right now, but haven't played them much either, and I'm considering breaking htem up and finding someone better for her. I didn't want her to have kids with Don, but saw that his genetics are good, and decided to make a decent guy that looked exactly like him.


Don is still a ladies man, and I think I want him to be for a while longer. I could have changed his aspiration to match Cassie's, but... eh, whatever. I might do that later. He really likes Nina, though. I might make him have some illegitimate children with some of the women in the hood.


Mary-Sue never caught Daniel with the maid, if I remember correctly. Instead, Daniel got BOTH of them pregnant (Kaylynn was living with Don at the time) and then left Mary-Sue to start a new life with Kaylynn. Mary-Sue had a son, forgot his name, and became an elder. He's still a child.


The Burbs have had three more kids, and another on the way. However, John was seduced by that seductress, Genevieve (the one that Mortimer almost married) and she gave birth to his twins, a girl named Chessy (like the Cheshire Cat) and a boy named Havok (like Davy Havok from AFI). Lucy's a teen and is interested in one of the Elf kids in the neighborhood. Jennifer doesn't know about John's affair, but he and Genevieve have three bolts for each other!

Wow, what a great topic. Some of these are really great. And some are very similar to mine. Creepy...

Well, first of all, My neighborhoods did something interesting. I created a town called Teirace Lei. Somehow I ended up duplicating a few families from Pleasantveiw over to the new neighborhood. So, a few families I got to play alternate endings with. Weird, I know.

Dina Caliente got pregnant & ended up marrying Mortimer for his money (cheating all the while with Don - go fig), poisoned him after the kids went to college, and re-modeled the mansion to her taste. Now, she's known as a the wealthy black widow. She and Don live across the street from one another. How odd is that?

Alexander went on to college and became the little rebel with a punk style.

Nina ended up with one of my Sims and they are happily married. Well, until the live-in young and pretty nanny moved in.

Don ended up marrying a daughter of one of my Sims (this was before I kept Sims generations together. They had twin boys and he's cheating on her with almost everyone in town.

Cassandra ended up marrying Darren, of course. They are happy and have twins (Darian and Damion) and are working on their third. She needed someone better than Don and who better than the man who's liked her for awhile.

Daniel and Mary-Sue got divorced after they found out Kaylynn was pregnant. He ended up with Kaylynn, but then got divorced with her, too. No one likes this guy anymore. I don't remember where he is now. I think he left Pleasantview for good or Kaylynn killed him. Either way, I can't seem to find him. Oh well. Kaylynn ended up with a really cool detective and they started their own family.

TheLonelySim would hate this, but Mary-Sue ended up marrying another guy (a much younger guy as well) and had a son with him. However, he, too, cheated on her. He ended up going from womanizer to being gay! Who knew. I just played it out. Mary-Sue is now alone raising two young sons (from Daniel and Joe). I think she's done with men.

I put Angela Pleasant through a ringer of a relationship with one of my Sims. It was very up and down in high school and they ended up living together, but also breaking up in college. He's now bunking with others until he finds a place to stay. She ended up having a rebound fling with none other than John Burb. I know - ew... weird. But wait! They are not blood related, remember... she's on Jennifer's side. Although, he feels too much guilt to tell his wife so he romances her after every affair (it seems I'm not the only one that has this guy cheating, lol). Problem is, Angela's pregnant and in college still. Mary-Sue accidentally found out and now she's holding this secret.

Lillian ended up with Dirk. Yeah, the "bad" sister ended up with a good guy. Imagine that. In fact, the two are engaged now, and very faithful.

Brandi Broke ended up marrying a really great guy (and a bit younger). He treats the boys well and treats her like a queen. She needs that. They ended up having three girls and a boy. After they were married, he bought her a really big house to fit a huge family so they had no problems fitting everyone in. She's no longer a Broke, literally and illiterately. But occasionally, she still mourns Skip.

Dustin became a really good painter. He ended up going to college and completely falling for Rosemarie Vijayakar. Although she left him for someone else (and is now engaged), they had a kid together while they were still in school. He ended up moving in with another group of kids to finish up his college. He still pines for her, though. Rosemarie has custody, but Brennan can't stand her. He loves his dad, though.

Beau is on his way to college. He's in love with Kevin Beare's step-daughter, who's still in high school. He lives in the dorms for now. And Brady (the baby), just graduated high school and is now engaged and living with his high-school girlfriend in a cheap and sleezy apartment complex on the wrong side of town. He and his girl friend are expecting.

Never did anything with Herb and Coral Oldie.

UNI:

Meadow Thayer and Orlando Centowski ended up being a couple. Apparently, he had a thing for her in high school. They now live together in student housing in college. They plan on getting engaged after they graduate.

After college, Ashley Pitts, Brittany Upsnott lived in a 4-plex for awhile with a couple friends from college. Ashley ended up falling for Heather Huffington. Yet, after having twin girls with her, she left him and he fell for Sandy Bruty and is married to her now. Why do they have two Sandy Bruty's in the Sims? He and Sandy live in a mansion by the sea in Bluewater Village and he's making bank.

Brittany seduced a widowed millionaire and is now engaged. Now Joshua Ruben and Tiffany Simpson are the heads of the Frat / Sorority houses.

Kevin Beare is now married to a widow and has started a family with her.

OFB:

Malcolm Landgraab IV... Hm, I'm hoping I don't get in trouble for posting this. But let's just say, the "Pro" he visited once is now expecting. Looks like she'll be set up for life.


I know its not a default, but I thought I'd add it for fun. As for Beosboxboy's CC Sim, he and his younger brother live together in a house that also holds a gallery and photo studio on the same lot. Jonas (boxboy Sim) is a photographer and shoots his own work and shows & sells it in his gallery. He is seeing one of my CC widowed Sims. He's about to propose and take her and her children in. His younger brother fell head over heels for a Downtownie, Elle Garth, the moment she walked into the gallery.


Whew... I really didn't realize how convoluted my game was until now. And that's just my default Sims. I'm not too sure how that makes me feel. All I can say is, these are the Days of my Sims.

I had forgotten that I actually play with quite a lot of the default Sims. I thought CAS would start taking over communities. Course, after I discovered Beosboxboy, Marvine, and Warlokk's creations, it all went downhill from there. It's hard for me to even play with defaults anymore. When I do, I usually use the InSIM to change their appearance.

same here. well, exept the ones that came with AL. i got rid of the default neighborhoods and started my own, Mountainview, which houses all the sims i've created. and sadly, none of them get along all that well. i just hope Mountainview doesn't turn into a war-zone anytime soon.

Just for variety's sake, I decided to create a Medieval hood with some of the real original families from another site. (Sim Estates-I've heard that their sims don't work, but in my game, they do.)

 The original Goth, Oldie, Pleasant, Newbie, Broke, Bachelor, Burb, Caliente families and one that I created for this hood-the Plantagenet, are all in this town.

 It's quite interesting to find which families will prosper and grow.

  It's actually the most interesting hood I've ever played-at least the most customized one.

  As for how I'm managing it-I had to create empty hood, and am using TwoJeffs' visitor controller, which limits who can visit the neighborhood. Only the mailman and other assorted NPC's are allowed into it.

 It's been fun playing and downloading specific things for this hood. I wonder that I never tried this before!

What does default Sims mean? :P
They are all dead, DEAD I say!!! Empty neighbourhoods for my Sims and only Sims I like to live and prosper in there. Well, I don't know whether they will truly prosper since they can't hold their hands off their neighbours' significant others, but at least they have all the time and space to decide what it will be, peace or war? 

My default sims got an instant upgrade due the the default skins ,etc I have in game.

Brandi so far is remarried and rich and her son is in private school.

Don just married Cassandra even though half the women in town love him.  Amazingly he so far is on a 24/7 honeymoon. He simply adores her--total shock to me.  I guess I'm waiting for the shoe to drop.

Oh and the Oldies I aged them down to slightly younger than elder and Coral is pregnant not sure with how many. Coral loves Herb but boy does she have a wandering eye!  That's it so far ;).

I hope that shoe is filled with iron and lands on his head. ;D

you're referring to dropping the satellite on him, aren't you? what has don done to deserve that from you, paden?

I just hate womanizers, I guess. And I know he had something to do with Mort's wife going missing... :D

You killed her (Mort's wife) didn't you :P

The false one from Strangetown, which was packaged as the original. What can I say, I'm a purist... :D

I delete all the maxis sims and the houses they live in after I first install my game. All my townies, downtownies, npcs, including my young adults are in the process of being replaced with  any number of my Warlokk ( and poppeboys fit chick ) body shapes using SimPE surgery, then I spawn them one of my already made Warlokk custom bodied Sims lot and use the Insimenator to make them selectable, change there face and makeup, and finally I use Pescados Clothing tool to have them change outfits. That way no one looks the same and everyone has different clothing, and I get rid of all my ugly maxoid people. It takes a lot of time to do all this, of course. Oh, and I leave Mrs. Crumplebottom just as she is so I can have my Sims kick her butt using Squinge's fight Mrs. Crumplebottom.

You can start your game with an empty template for any of the neighborhoods, and have no townies or other assorted extra people in it with the help of an "empty template" from MATY.
Keeping them out of the game can be achieved with TwoJeffs' visitor controller from Simbology.

Right now, between the two of those, I have only 85 character files in my hood. I hate it when the neighborhood comes with at least 100 extra characters that you do not want and never interact with.

Right now, it's Veronaville's turn, again.

The Capp kids living with Consort all went to college, so I resurrected Contessa. She and Consort had been having a great time until I introduced the Fugly character (and genetic test I downloaded, from here I think) Horrida Fugly; and Consort just couldn't take his hands off her. He asked her to move in, with Contessa there of course. I had so much trouble keeping them from beating each other up. Finally I introduced a servo, Justin, to be Contessa's honey (she's a romance sim). So Horrida had 2 children with Consort (viejo verde) and is currently pregnant, but Consort just died last night, and she's stranded at the old house with Contessa as her roomie. I have to hand it to Contessa though, she loves the little tikes, Twiggy and Zatara (girl and boy). On the genetic test though, Twiggy has just aged to a child but the features are all Horrida, poor girl. Zatara is a toddler but somehow his face is not so bad as his older sister. I'll see how the third one comes out, but with the Capp features, things could get really interesting...

Well, Don married Cassandra because I want babbies. ;D Hes having, like, 27 affairs though. Shes so smitten by him though, I doubt she cares. He has, uh, 4 children by other women and a set of twins with Cassy. Er, The son of Morty-whos name I forget- Turns out to be fruity in my game.xD Hes going out with the neighbour boy, Rex Penicook. The Penicooks are stinkin' rich and Rexxy is so incredibly cute~<3 Dina married Mort, had one of his kids, then ran off with some townie. Nina married the first townie the match-maker set her up with. He had that ugly version of the chinese face, which wad ewey, but w/e. She has two girls, Areba and Maria. Evidentally fuglies  genes work well with Ninis, 'cause their both hotties. And Mithc, or Fugly, has a cute alien baby. : D Dirk Dreamer was crushed by Cassandra marrying Don, slapped the crap outta' her than stormed off crying. He was turned off from women forever. XD Now hes married to this one cute exterminator named Robi, and they have a kid named Drake. Insim=<3. The Brandi Broke had twins, two boys. Shes still single. Dustin married Angela blah-blah. They dont have kids yet. Daniel left Marry-Sue for some cute CAS sim, they have triplets. <3 <3

I'm working on giving Pleasantview a next generation. I'm almost done, haha. I haven't worked on it in a while, though.
-Bella and Mortimer died happily together.
-Don Lothario was abducted by aliens and never came back because of Bella. (Part of my neigborhood story XD) He tried to hit on her.
-Angela and Dustin are happily married with kids. Angela has a job as a Vet and Dustin is a Rock star XD
-Lillith and Dirk are happily married, too. Lillith is preggers. Dirk has a job as a ninja and Lillith is unemployed.
- Nina and Dina Drowned in a pool because I hate them both.
-Dustin's mom (I forgot the name XD) married this super hot dude that I mae. They're now multi millionares XD
-Cassandra and Derren are married with twins. They're very happy.
-Angela and Lillith's parents (Forgot their names again XD) broke up and are now enemies. That one maid who's name starts with a K was pushed into a fire by Cassie and Sue (Remeber the name now, haha)
-Sue lives in a giant mansion with her new husband who is FINE, i must add.
-Sue's Ex-husband is in a small trailer barely paying rent.

Strangetown...
I killed everyone off and put my own people in with aliens, pixies, drows and much much more

Veronaville...
I don't play with Veronaville anymore. too boring.

I've never done anything much with the default sims, since I'd rather make my own sims and wreck havoc on their lives instead :'D

Let's see, I've really only played the Veronaville Sims, soo; Juliette realized that she was too good for Romeo, and instead, ran off with another sim teen of mine (a much cuter one, teehee). I don't have pictures though, they made gorgeous red headed kids :c

A rich sim of mine was interested in the Broke family, but they made enemies instead for some reason.

The Summerdream family, I had my fun with; they were very hostile to the Sims I made (rather than, oh, say, the townies), I took revenge and burnt them all in a horrible, fire-related accident :D My Sims no longer live in a neighborhood full of mean thespians and can now go around making friends \o/ YAY

Great topic.  Its fun to see how everyone plays.  I stick to Pleasantview.  So here it goes:

The Pleasants (This is the family I play the most)
-Daniel was caught with Kaylynn after Mary Sue came home after being fired and quickly moved out.  He moved into a small house Downtown where he has romanced many passersby, even into his elder years.  The closest thing to a real relationship is the VERY open relationship he has with Heather Huffington

-Mary Sue divorced Daniel on day one and currently hasn't taken up with a new beau, let alone remarried.  I moved the Oldies in with her, but really only to get them out of the bin.

-Angela has only been with one man: Dustin Broke (despite his beady eyes).  She got pregnant with twin girls, Charlotte (in college, currently living with Max Flexor) and Emily (who had twins with Orlando Centowski), during her second semester at college the first time either had woohooed.  They later added a third girl, Virginia, and she is currently pregnant with their fourth.

-Lilith spent most of her college years woohooing as a member of the Tri-Var Sorority.  So much so that she achieved her lifetime want of woohooing 20 before she graduated.  In her senior year, she changed her ways and entered a committed relationship with a Created Sim, whom she later married, has had four children with (Two Boys: Alex and Jacob, and Two Girls: Karina and Grace) and never once cheated (neither has her husband).  Her husband has reached the top job in the Entertainment Career and she is near the top (maybe #9) in the Artist Career.

The Goths
-Mortimer quickly married Dina (no ceremony) and got her pregnant their first night as a married couple.

-Cassandra married Don and is currently carrying his child.

-Alexander is still a child.  I'm thinking of maybe pairing him up with Lilith Pleasant's daughter Karina, when they're of age of course.

The Calientes
-Nina has her eye on Malcolm Landgraab's fortune.

-Dina married Mortimer for his money, but is secretly having an affair with Don Lothario.  It's not too hard, seeing as how they both live with the Goths.

The Brokes
-Dustin is the only one I have played extensively.  I sent him to college and had to assemble a shotgun wedding when he got Angela pregnant on the first shot.  He's a CEO, and has had two affairs: once with Roxie Sharpe, just once, at Lilith's wedding, and with Heather Huffington, of whom he has kept up the affair without Angela knowing. 

-Brandi had the baby.  Don't remember the name and hasn't progressed past infant. 

The Dreamers
-The Unlucky in Love Dreamers... sigh.  Cassandra Goth spurned all of Darren's advances and went on to marry the womanizing Don.  Dirk went to college but lost touch with his high school love Lilith after she installed a revolving door to her bedroom.  He's still currently in college.  Haven't decided which way I'm going to send him.

UNI

Heather Huffington has made Lilith Pleasant look like a nun, nearly doubling her "score".  She currently runs a home business where she... "entertains" male guests.

Tiffany Sampson had a relationship with Castor Nova, but they were headed in different directions.  She met Mitch Indie and the both fell head over heels.  They got married shortly after they graduated.

Brittany Upsnott graduated and is living with Joshua Ruben.

Roxie Sharpe joined the Tri-Var Sorority and is still there, mostly in order to keep the house open.

Well this is what I have done in Pleasantview so far...al the stories I read on here so awesome so i hope mines is just as awesome...

Goth: Well Morty married Dina, much to Alexander's dismay. He pretty much ignored her when she moved in until he went off to college, although Dina made petty attempts to befriend him. Morty got Dina pregnant with twins, Maxwell and Madeline, who believe it or not look very cute. Morty died shortly after the twins became toddlers. After Alexander came back from college with his new fiance Crystal *she was a college student* he took over the Goth fortune and kicked Dina and the twins out of the house, but Dina took 500 thousand simoleons with her on the way to the taxi. Dina moved to the colonial looking house next door to the Goth mansion, so that the twins will always know where their "real house" was....Cassandra married Don and actually invited Darren to the wedding *how crazy!* after the ceremony, Don and Darren got into a real fist fight, Don won, embarrassing Darren to no end. He wrote Cassandra off and left the wedding. After the marriage, Cassandra and Don moved to a sprawling ranch house with lots of trees. After settling in, Don took a "business trip" to Twikki Island, where he chased down every hula girl he could find. He got caught woohooing one of the hula girls by his main hula girl and now she comes over his house every night to steal the newspaper and knock over the trashcan. Cassandra is totally oblivious to all of it because she is too busy trying to be the best scientist in the world for her late father. Don and Cassandra has two boys so far, Corey and Frasier. Corey is school age and is very nice looking..don't know how Frasier is going to turn out. Don is currently planning on taking another "business trip" to Twikki Island.

Broke: Brandi was getting too depressed in her lil trailer because Dustin just wouldn't act right. Dustin got hauled off to my self made prison after getting caught robbing the Londoste restaurant Downtown with Russ the burglar. He never went to college, which Brandi expected. Dustin's friend Russ is still in prison serving two life sentences for murdering townies with cow plants. Brandi decided to take on a new gardening hobby, and soon found the love her life Peter Sims after successfully joining the garden club. They quickly got married and had a ok looking daughter named Tabitha. Before she got married to Peter however, her third child from her late husband Skip were actually twin boys, who look exactly alike and are total mirror's of Brandi...she named them Ross and Chandler from her favourite TV show *lol* they have black hair and blue eyes just like her *they are so cute* but total terrors..she fears they will grow up like Dustin. Dustin moved into his own trailer in another town i made named Tamlyn and is now waiting for Angela to graduate college so they can live a cool life together..will keep you updated on that. Beau is currently working on his political career and will soon be going off to college with the help of his mother. Peter knocked down the old trailer and built a slightly bigger one so that they could all breathe lol.
Caliente: Well since Dina married Morty, Nina was getting lonely in her little bungalow, so i changed her aspiration to Family and she snagged a hotty from college named Randy Wendland, who was a surfer dude to the core. After getting engaged for awhile  Randy decided to drop out of college for her and she moved him into the bungalow and he remodelled the whole house tikki style. They married and have two kids a boy named Keanu and a girl named leilani. they are so beautiful! She is currently expecting child number 3. She decided after a long thought to have 6 kids and Randy agreed, saying that as long as all of the kids can have hawaiian names he's on board. Nina got a job as a Pop n Lock Dancer and is currently working her way up the ladder. After Don came over and ruined her dinner party, she wrote him off as scum and never talked to him again.

Pleasants: I just couldn't see Danny and Mary-Sue divorcing, so despite his nature he decided not to sleep with kaylynn...at least not until it was safe for her to come over *hahaha* Daniel decided to keep Mary-Sue for the sake of appearances, and invites kaylynn over at night when Mary-Sue is asleep. Kaylynn is getting sick and tired of the games and she told Daniel to either divorce Mary-Sue and marry her, or leave her alone. Daniel is thinking about hiring Dustin to whack mary sue so he can have at it with kaylynn, but he's not so sure. Mary-Sue and Daniel are now elders, and are proud of their daughters for going to college. Lilith and Angela and Dirk all go to college together. Lilith becomes an evil witch and his currently working on her journalism degree. Dirk doesn't like the idea of Lilith being a witch, but seeing that it makes her happy to banish people out of nowhere and make people throw up at will, he lives with it. Angela became a vegetarian hippie and is also working on her journalism degree, and is excited about marrying Dustin. They are currently picking out the panelling for their new trailer, even though Daniel protests about his daughter living in a flea bag trailer with a flea bag like Dustin.

Dreamer: Darren gets over the fact that Cassandra married Don, and plans on inviting both of them over so he can feed them to his new cow-plants, Audrey and Audrey 2 *lol* After becoming a successful artist, Darren winds up marrying a pretty townie named Barbara, who is obssessed with ballet and pottery. After she moved in, she gave the house a total makeover, and being the respectful person she is, planted new flowers on Darren's late wife's grave. They are currently expecting a child. Barbara is BFF with Dirk which is also cool.

Oldie: Not so sure what to do with them yet, but i think i might have Mr. Oldie and Don take a "business trip" together so they can chase down hula girls lol

Burb: Havent played them yet but i am planning something for them : D

I like this topic, so I'll update with some new happenings:

-Heather Huffington has had two kids, a girl, Summer, with Castor Nova, and a son, Bobby, with Ashley Pitts; both out of wedlock.  Both are surprisingly good-looking kids.  She's currently pregnant to her third with Dustin Broke, who is married to Angela Broke.  I don't have high hopes for this child, as Dustin is prone to having hideous children.  Heather's daughter went to Sim State and just pledged the sorority and Bobby just grew up into a teen.  He's got his eye on Samantha Indie, the daughter of Mitch and Tiffany Sampson. 

-Castor is currently engaged to a townie (after he had Summer with Heather).  He is in the Intelligence career path.

-Lilith has had four kids (Alex, Jacob, Karina, and Grace) with a CAS and is currently pregnant with twins.  She was caught cheating with Castor Nova at Bobby Huffington's birthday party when Castor Nova made out with her in front of her husband and her daughter.  Not too smooth.  She made it to the top of her career as a Visionary Artist.

-Darren Dreamer married Brandi Broke and she is currently pregnant with their first child.  Dirk is still in college.  I'll probably set him up with Tessa Ramirez, who is currently going to college too.

-Kevin Beare is still in college.  He's engaged to Stella Terrano, the alien YA.
   

The Pleasants
Patched up the relationship of the family as a whole. Daniel & Mary Sue now have a loving relationship...namely after I game Mary Sue a SERIOUS makeover. They now have 3 bolt chemistry and are usually all over each other. Kinda' disturbing actually...lol. Daniel's still got the same look and job, but Mary Sue, following getting canned, I ended up making her a go start her own business, which is a posh, 5 star restaurant. Angela & Lilith are both adults now. Sent them both to college where I worked them into being best friends. Angela married Dustin Broke right after college, and they now live in a nice lil' home in Bluewater Village where Angie's a stay at home wife and expecting. Lilith is dating Dirk Dreamer again after they had a falling out when Dirk was a bad boy in their Sophomore year. They live in an apartment in Downtown together. Lilith is at level 8 of the art career path.

The Goths
1st order of business was bringing Bella back from the dead. Managed to do it successfully, and Mortimer ended up find a "fountain of youth" (gotta love aging mods) and turned back the clock to a later life adult. Rekindled their romance and they've been happy ever since. Mortimer had a career change, going into the medical field, where he's chief of staff and raking in the do. Bella just lives off of Morty's massive wealth. Cassandra kicked Don's ass to the curb, and ended up moving out on her own to Bluewater Village. Gave her a total makeover and changed her career to business, where she's doing pretty well for herself. She's presently dating a CAS I made Marlon Landry (Who's available for DL, look in my sig.) Alexander is now a Teen, and an evil, head banging prankster.

The Brokes
Brandi gives birth to the unborn child of Skip, who I named Trip. Trip is now a child, Beau's a Teen, and Dustin's now an adult, with Brandi now in the tale end of the Adult stage, about 8 days removed from become an elder. (Not ready for her to grow old just yet.) Ended up doing for Skip what I did for Bella, bringing him back from the grave and overhauling his look. He's the chef at Mary Sue's restaurant, and they (Skip, Brandi, Beau & Trip) now live in a swank house in a custom Sub-Hood I made. Dustin married Angela as mentioned above, and their expecting their 1st child. Dustin's now a cop. (Who saw THAT coming?) :P

The Dreamers
Darren ended up find romance with a CAS I made Saleena, and they married and have 2 children, Dorian and Dianna, both now Teens. Dirk is now an early adult, and is dating Lilith again after they initially broke up in their Sophomore when Dirk shacked up a CAS YA I made. But old wounds healed, I patched up their relationship, and they share an apartment downtown. Dirk's at level 7 in the Athlete career path.

The Calientes
Dina went insane after getting dumped by Morty AND Don. Nina's still Nina. Haven't touched their lot in a long, loooooooooooooooooong time.

Don Lothario
Don's still Don. Wooing and Woohooing every female he can get his hands on. He's presently having an affair with his boss, Malcolm IV's wife. He also has a healthy dislike of Alex Goth because Alex has a real bad habit of kicking his trash can over. (Did I mention I made Alex an evil twerp?)

Biggs
The only UNI sim I actually have touched. Graduated her with my 1st class of sims. (Some of my CAS teens, The Pleasant Twins, Dirk & Dustin.) Marla's now a Doctor, lives in a fancy house, and is the object of quite a few of my male sim's desires. She's still a shy nerd at heart though. :P

Landgrabb
Malcolm IV is married to one of my CAS ladies Mili, who's sleeping around with Don Lothario. He's also got a crush another CAS of mines Christine Goodchild (Also available for DL here on insim) but doesn't have the nerve to make a move cuz he's already hitched. I think I'll have some fun with them next time I head into Bluewater. :D

Those are the only pre-mades I've done anything with.

Admin note: Edited due to LANGUAGE. Watch it, please. You've been told about it before and we thought that you had gotten the hint. Guess not.

Wow I love this thread!  ;D
Pleasants- Daniel divorced Mary Sue and married Kaylynn and they have two babies. Angela and Lillith went to college with their respective boyfriends, married them and are now both pregnant.
Goths-Mortimer married Dina, got her pregnant, then divorced her. Alexander went to college with Meadow Thayer and married her. Cassandra dumped Don, married Darren and had 15 children...They both died and I resurrected both. They bought a giant house and basically ran my neighborhood retirement home that had Mary Sue, the Oldies, Mortimer, Mortimer's mom, and Bella's brother. Recently, all the old people decided to die on the same day, and Cassandra's 6 oldest daughters moved back in after graduating. Cassandra's oldest son, Corbin, married my self sim (whose mother had had 16 children) and they had 13 children. See a pattern yet, lol...
Brokes- Brandi's son Dustin married Angela. Beau is still in college and the baby hasn't grown up yet. She's currently rooming with some random family.
Dreamers- Dirk is married to Lillith, I think they're expecting.
Calientes- Dina changed her mind and decided to marry Don, then had his baby. Nina married some random guy off the street and had two kids. They all live together in the Goth's old home.
Burbs, and all the other defaults- They all live in one house because I had to make room for all my other sims.
In the university, Allegra fell in love with one of the boys from the fraternity. Eric Swain fell in love with Cassandra's oldest daughter, but hasn't made any advances just yet ;)

Rome and Juliet got married and they're now both dead. on the upside, the family feud is over.

Cassandra Goth Married Daren Dreamer and they have two children

Don married my friend's self-sim

haha i know this is a little late, but i just couldn't help myself!

In Pleasantview:
I don't bother with the Pleasants, the bother me  :p

The Goth's are one of my favorite families. Cassandra unfortunately gets left at the alter by Don, and is depressed and sad for a long time. Alexander gets a makeover, and eventually marries his high school sweetheart, Leah LaTrova.  Leah and Cassandra become best friends, and Leah gives Cassandra a makeover, making her a sex icon downtown ;) Leah and Alexander have twin boys together, and Mortimer ultimately dies after drowing in the pool.  Since Cassandra is gorgouse now, she gets a lot of attention from the boys, and gets knocked up by a very attractive npc (which i never thought i would find  1rofl) I haven't gotten any farther yet, because i've been working on my movies.

The Broke's have an interesting story too.  Brandi goes back to college and becomes a successful OB nurse.  They move to a huge house, and take in the Randova family, who just happen to have a hot daughter, Natelie. Natelie and her parents eventually become very sick, and Natelie's parents die. Dustin takes care of Natelie, and eventually falls in love with her. But Dustin and Natelie aren't careful with their relationship, and she gets pregnant. Brandi allows them to stay, and when it came time for Natelie to have their son, she didn't know she was in labor, and Brandi had to deliver the baby on the hallway floor :)

Cyd Roseland always becomes a successful doctor, with a beautiful home.  He marries his beautiful wife Rebecca, adn they have four kids together, twos boys and two girls.


Strangetown is pretty much my teen pregnancy town lol, Johnny always gets married and becomes an athlete. 
General Grunt marries a beautiful lady, who has a teenaged daughter around Ripp's age.  General and his wife have a baby girl, and soon after Ripp and his girlfriend have a baby boy. Tank becomes a hardass, and never marries, eventually commiting suicide.

The curious is another one of my favorite families. Pascal always has his baby, he has a girl and he names her luna.  Vidcund gets married to a wonderful girl, and they move out and live next to the Grunts. When Luna becomes a teenager, she falls in love with the son of Olive Spector, and they have a son together.

The Spector family is fun, Opal goes into a severe mental breakdown after her and Johnny break up, and she eventually commits suicide.  Olive finds love in a young man, and they have a son together (how i do not know...) and he falls in love with Luna Curious.

Veronaville is glitched so i had to delete it, since i couldn't be in there for over two seconds without the game crashing.

Long story short, I deleted every single one that bugged the hell out of me. Nina and Dina are single and still living together, I've re-decorated their house and they both have jobs. Cassandra, Don, Mortimer {Well I killed Mortimer..} Derrick,and Dirk all died. Brandi is at home raising her current kids,while I aged and eventually deleted Dustin. Angela and Lillith Pleasant are still teenagers,and I haven't played them,but if I do, I plan on having them marry,bare children...while their parents most likely fight and get a divorce..

I don't play with pre-created sims any more. I only play the ones I create,haha...but even then,the game can get a little bit boring..:P

Did you delete them or kill them off? I ask because outright deleting sims is bad for your game and can cause corrupted memories and other nasty bad stuff.

I just don't play with the default sims. In fact, the only two neighbourhoods I have in my game are two I created.

I've learned my lesson about deleting lol my game's still screwed up. Most of the time I only play with neighborhoods I've created, too. When I first played back in 2004 or 2005, I had a blast. Everyone in Pleasantview got divorced and remarried and had each other's kids, etc... :)

Ooh! Thanks for the tip. I always delete them. Now I know not to.

I keep 'em around in case I suddenly decide I want to give them make overs or something. I used to delete them but then I'd have to re-install the game to get them back.

If I've helped prevent even one game from going all 'splody, then I've done my job! ;)

Usually, what I do with my default Sims is do a make over on them using SimPE's Sim Surgery feature. It's really easy to use and I can change over an entire neighborhood in an afternoon.

I'm able to even make my playable sims into NPCs in my game.

In one case I have a female Sim who works at the local bus station. Yes, the NPC is a duplicate of the female Sim character.
As you can see in this screenshot...
(http://s1.postimage.org/mpufe17s5/More_Bus_Station_2.jpg) (http://www.postimage.org/)

I recently discovered that I actually like to play with the Pleasantview families....After giving almost everyone a make over that is.  

Brandi and Dustin were shocked when they received the life insurance check for a quarter of a million simoleons in the mail.  It seems that even in death, Skip was determined to care for his family. They quickly moved into a new home in a new town where Brandi ran into Fenris Wolfe(Keith Westmorland by SimplicityFlower over at MTS), a family sim working his way up the Athletic career ladder.  Dustin was baffled when his mom's new man quickly moved in and Brandi became pregnant(Using the Blender I made Fenris the new baby-daddy!  I decided to work with Maxis' timeline screw up).  It turns out that Fenris had provided 'comfort' to Brandi the day after Skip's accident.  Dustin finally accepted Fenris to the family when he saw how well he treated Brandi, Beau, and himself, granting him his blessing to marry his mom.  The two quickly wed before baby Bryce was born.  They now have twins on the way!

Dustin's own love life did not go as smoothly, disgusted with how awful Angela was to her sister, he broke it off with her and concentrated on his studies and work.  Now that he didn't have to worry about supporting his family he began pursuing his dream of becoming a star athlete. With Fenris as his mentor, he soon reached Mascot and got into a good college, receiving multiple scholarships....I haven't gotten around to playing in my Uni neighborhoods yet.

Beau grew up well with the love and support of his big brother and mom.  He is bff's with Fenris and adores his little brother Bryce, he wants to be a great big brother just like Dustin was for him. It turns out that Beau is a musical genius and he is hoping that his talent will take him to the top of the music ladder...That is, of course, if Layla Lothario(Don and Nina's daughter) doesn't distract him from it.

Bryce seems to love the great outdoors and has a really big crush on Daisy Greenman(I play in the Uber-Megahood)

Don leaves Casandra at the alter when he finds out that Nina is pregnant with his child.  In the back of his mind Nina had always been the one for him.  He changed his ways and became a devoted husband and father.  It seems that his wandering was genetic though and karma has it bad for Donny...He now has three daughters with Nina, Layla, Jessie,and Kyla... and all of them are romance sims.  

Poor Dan...Sue caught him cheating and kicked him out of the house, Kaylynn isn't talking to him anymore for some reason, Angela blames him for Dustin breaking up with her, and Lilith has decided she "isn't into labels".  What else could possibly go wrong?  Ah yes...the blonde hottie in the powersuit just blew him off to go make out with his ex-wife.  

I am slowly getting around to playing the rest of the families...I have to give them makeovers first and do a little home remolding and renovation as well as the occasional attitude adjustment.....I mean really...It is most definitely a game unto itself as Skaarjy said.

That was great Ghostwrytr, you've inspired me to check in on my old families.

I love playing with the Strangetown (I changed the name to Strangeville) families. PT9 has had so many children it isn't even funny. Luckily I turned off jealousy long ago. Vidcund (renamed Victor) is happily married to his life partner Ajay (random sim I found walking down town) while raising his first child Ozma. They have adopted a daughter (one of PT9's illegitimate kids) and named her Naomi. Ozma is going to be heading off to college any day now and Naomi just turned into a child. Ajay can't wait to adopt again.

Lola and Chloe are both happily married with two or three kids each. They have slowly been building a relationship with their father and half siblings. I am in sort of a time crunch with them because PT9 is very near death. He and his wife need to go ahead and die so I can move the Smith story along.

Olivia Specter had a crisis of conscience when she neared the end of her golden age and worked very hard to re-connect with the son she gave up for adoption long ago. When she found out about the abuse he suffered she helped plot to kill his "father". Nervous (renamed Nathan) ended up moving in with Olivia bringing his child and baby-momma (Circe). After Olivia died Nathan made a few suggestions and Circe killed herself (Thank you suicide knife). Now Nathan lives in the Specter Mansion with his son Nathan Jr. and is slowly building up a relationship with his cousin(?) Ophelia. Ophelia married a Otthomas as is having kids left and right. She lives right across the road from the Specter mansion and may soon inherit the messy ghosts from Nathan. Even with a butler, maid, and Gardner that place stays a protoplasmic mess.

Both Lazlo and Paul(I can't remember his old name) have married and have kids. I am just getting to where I can age all the kids up and edge out the parents.

I recently started playing the Maxis Pleasantview which I had never done before, since I prefer to play my own custom hoods. anyway here's what has been happening in my game...

Don Lothario was caught in the hot tub with Dina Caliente while both Kaylynn and Casandra were in the house. So after this fiasco Don got together with Nina Caliente and moved Downtown to avoid the gossip and resentment of the enemies he made in Pleasantview. they now live in a nice little brownstone Downtown, though neither of the pair has chosen to take their relationship to the next level.

Dina married Malcolm Landgraab and is happily living in Bluewater village after seeing the damage her affair with Don caused and is trying to reign in her amorous tendencies. Much to Malcolm's chagrin however Dina gave him a set of twin daughters named Gina, and Tina. Malcolm is now very worried that the Landgraab bloodline will be broken, and he is determined to have a male heir, so he is looking for a suitable woman to give him a male child and will keep Dina around for appearances sake.

Brandi Broke discovered she had gotten pregnant before Skip died and decided that the only way to keep her family from falling apart, was to pack up their things, sell the house and start over in Bluewater village. Dustin realized that Angela was pushing him to do things that were hurting his mother and decided that he should become the man his father would have wanted him to become, and so he dumped Angela, and began to focus on his school work in hopes of going to college.

Once in Bluewater village she met Cyd Roseland and found love again. Cyd moved her into a nice ranch style house and spent all his money on renovations to accommodate his growing family. Of course little did Brandi know that Cyd was the crime boss that Dustin had been working for and the two have vowed to keep that little secret from Brandi. Cyd also used his connections in the entertainment industry to get Porthos a job in the entertainment business. 

Angela continues to be the apple in her parent's eye while Lilith found a friend in Alexander Goth and though he is younger than her (he just turned into a teen and she's a few Sim days older than he is) their friendship seems to be headed towards something more. She has also become very close friends with Pleasantview's grand Vampiress, and the town's resident white witch as well. Mary sue lost her job, and her husband was there to console her, and she is blissfully unaware that he is carrying on an affair with their maid. of course Angela knows about the affair and uses that knowledge to keep Daddy wrapped around her little finger.

Lilith has been trying to make amends with her sister, but had a fling with Angela's boy-toy Dustin, and is afraid that the affair if discovered will break up her relationship with her sister, and with Alexander Goth who she really cares for.

Recently the Oldies returned to Pleasantview and purchased a little house which they renovated, and feeling lonely they adopted an old gog from the Simcity pound named Buffy. Once bitten by the adoption bug, and missing the sound of children's laughter in the house they decided to adopt a little girl named Greta. They invited their daughter Mary Sue and her family over to get reacquainted and shortly after that Herb became deathly ill from a flu, and at Daniel's urging Mary Sue has temporarily moved back in with her aging parents to care for her dying father, but once there she discovered that her mother was also coming down with this rather virulent cold, and she may have to care for Greta when her parents die.
 
Darren Dreamer got rid of those stupid sun glasses and got a nice pair of ray bans and as a result met Jill Smith (I think her name is) from the Garden club and they hit it off so well that they got married. Jill is now expecting their first child which has traumatized her because she never wanted or expected to have children. Of course Darren doesn't realize that his new wife has quite a reputation and has very loose morals.

Dirk Dreamer is getting ready to go to college and he's fallen in love with a local girl who worked at one of the shops in the Pleasantview strip mall. Dirk though outwardly seems to be a well adjusted young man however is tormented by the knowledge that his mother died in a fire that he caused and he has seen her ghost wiling in anger towards him. He has so far kept this a secret from everyone knowing that it would destroy his relationship with his father if this was discovered.

Cassandra Goth changed her hair style as a way to cope with the trauma of discovering her fiance cheating on her right before their wedding. In order to keep occupied she has decided to take care of her aging father, and her younger brother. Cassandra is currently trying to befriend the town's resident white witch, in the hopes of learning magic in the hopes of using the magical arts to find her mother. Mortimer has secretly begun drinking the elixer of youth in the hopes of living long enough to find Bella and has promised his children that he won't remarry.

Meanwhile in Bluewater village

Gilbert Jacquet married Florence Delarosa at the request of his mother who was afraid of what the neighbors would say if they discovered that Gilbert was having an affair with Remington Harris their maid. they have managed to keep this a secret from Florence who is too busy having been accepted into the Order of white witches. She has learned about the Goth's tragedy and has befriended Cassandra Goth. the two women have become unlikely friends and Florence has introduced Cassandra to the head of her Order hoping that the witch will allow Cassandra to be initiated into the Order.

Florence has also come across Lilith and is scared that the young girl's uncanny ability to attract the undead will lead her into the clutches of the Black Witches coven, and is trying her best to befriend the girl and steer her clear of the evil entities that she keeps coming into contact with, but so far Lilith has rejected the older woman who she considers to be a nosy busybody.
