hi can u plz provide explanation of ur strangetown family tree I am intrigued (and saw your tag mufufu)

okay, lets go through it but under the cut bc ill probably be long winded lmaooo

We’ll start with Veronica’s side as it’s much smaller, I haven’t played them as much (and probably won’t now as the legacy now has the story progression mod so I don’t actually have to keep up with them), and we saw most of it through her teen years.

It all starts with Corey, the teenage witch, who was my catalyst as I often played in downtown when I first got Sims 2 Deluxe as a kid and ran into the Tricou ghost teens when I cheated my way into the House of Fallen Trees. The Tricou family always lived in my head since then and when I did further research on Jon Smith, I found the teens of downtown, and sparked the idea of the legacy. Obviously, Corey/Orion being the gothic teen boy in a dark trenchcoat, I had to use him to ressurect the family and reunite them. In the story, Corey ran away not to long after being adopted as he had spent years researching his real father and being the eldest of all his half siblings, he felt more “independent.” In actuality, he didn’t even know the spell to summon a spectral cat so he just adopted one. As for why the Downtown is in Strangetown... come on. I had the idea of a warlock teen reviving his vampire family, it fit perfectly into it. 

I haven’t done much with the Tricou’s themselves, just giving their house a remodel and them all a makeover. But who knows... maybe future generations will get to know their maternal extended family 🤭

But now let’s talk to what the Curious side has been up to...

Starting with daddy Vidcund, he actually had two children. You may have spotted Celeste in the back of some shots with Leo. You might actually notice too they look similar! Vidcund got lucky and got the same PT, so they are full siblings. Leo very much does like his sister and often has her over now to catch up now that she is in college. Of course though, he still calls dear old dad to catch him up on the grandkids so he doesn’t feel so alone in his observatory.

Going down the line of guests at the party, Lazlo did get married to Crystal, in a full Vegas Style wedding (if you don’t know, my downtown is based on Vegas, hence my banner image on mobile.) Honestly, I didn’t do much with them after they got married but they do live downtown just chillin’.

His other uncles though I put a bit more time into. Obviously, Tycho went with them too and eventually, they adopted one child together, Halley. Tycho and Leo are very good friends though being very close in age and growing up a good part together. Also with Tycho, I took the fire powers it said Jill has and gave it too him, which is why his hair is dyed the way it is.

Speaking of Jill, the Smiths are a bit more interesting. After Johnny went to college and Jenny aged up, life went back to peace for them. Jill aged up soon after and started seeing Buck more. Then one day, I decided to read the bio for PT9 and it said "When he is not spending time with his children, he enjoys clipping coupons and staring up at the sky." I decided since he was getting up in age, I would send him to look at the stars while everyone else in the house rested... THEN SUDDENLY TIME STARTED FAST FORWARDING AND I WAS LIKE WUT I STILL HAVE A SIM AWAKE AND GO AND CHECK PT TO FIND A SMOKING SATELITE. Poor PT never got to meet his grandkids or anything and it took me a while to get Jenny out of the red aspiration level. It took adopting a kitten that I named Petey in memory of him. Buck was bullied at the Grunt home until he ran away but I welcomed him into the Smith home and once him and Jill aged up, they had Jackie, then eventually twins Joel and Jolene.

Finally, in the last row, we have one of the biggest families I’ve ever played all by myself, the Smith-Nigmos-Grunt-Hogan’s.... I sent Ripp, Johnny, and Ophelia to college together fully intending them just to be a tri-polycule then met Tamara Hogan and made this full family. Together each couple has one child, Oliver Nigmos-Smith, Teddie Nigmos-Grunt, Xandra Hogan-Grunt, and Oryan Hogan-Smith. I spent a lot of time with this family and honestly had so much fun but they’re so much and I’m glad story progression mod will handle where they go now ❤

Honestly I could go on more about the various other families but I’m very tired so TL;DR, Buzz Grunt got fired due to chance card and Tank ended up dying due to a cold he got from work, leaving his military wife behind. And the Beakers, Circe girlbossed to close to the sun and got Mysterious Disease on the Biotech table and died in quarantine. Oh yeah, and Kristen Loste was taken to be their new test subject after Nervous escaped and then got eaten by the Cowplant only to be revived by Loki as a zombie and now she works as a DJ. OH YEAH AND THE TWINS DO EXIST.
