my versions of Strangetown characters' ages since i'm bored at work ⌛

THAT WAS HARD. REALLY HARD xD i'm still not sure about anything here, but well. why not to post it.

first of all: i personally find it meaningless to count ages through number of days in various lifestages. there are so many inconsistencies! if you count them like that - that's absolutely fine, though. i just personally find neighborhood pictures more indicative than just a number of days.

for example, Buzz is 15 days away from being an elder, and Lazlo is 28 days away from being an elder. he's even younger than Nervous (who is 27 days away from being an elder). and still, Buzz and Lazlo are here, on this neighborhood picture, both as teenagers.

and also, like, Jenny is here, also as a teenager, even though she is 5 days from being an elder.

these pictures should not be taken literally, though. it's very clear that Jenny, Lazlo and Buzz still have decent age difference. they are here as teenagers just for us to know that they are relatively in the same age group (teenagers of various ages in the same school) and knew each other when they were younger. it's like this picture, where fridges are placed like school lockers lol, even though we know damn well that those are fridges:

imo we should not always take game's features and mechanics literally as a starting point for our headcanons. and also various headcanons can differ. that's fine.

with that out of the way, let's talk about the ages :D

if i missed some important details about characters' ages/bios or something doesn't match up, please let me know! i did all the counting all the way back in August, but decided to sort it out just today.

General Buzz Grunt - ~40 y.o. (imo he was a high school bully while others were still in middle school. and he bullied kids much younger than him. what a loser) Ripp Grunt - 16 y.o. Tank Grunt - 18 y.o. Buck Grunt - 10 y.o.

Pascal Curious- 37 y.o. Lazlo Curious - ~30-31 y.o. Vidcund Curious - 36 y.o.

Loki Beaker - 33 y.o. but he could be 36 Circe Beaker - 32 y.o. but she could be 35 Nervous Subject - ~23 y.o., potentionally a bit younger/older their ages are totally messed up imo, but i did what i could xD also, to patch some plot holes, we can say that the Beakers (and Nervous, as their test subject) could change their age with Elixir of Life, since Loki is the creator of aspiration rewards.

when counting their ages, we should take into account that Circe as a teenager rejected Pascal's first kiss and dated both Loki and Vidcund; that means, they all are relatively the same age. let's say, she rejected Pascal when she was 16 and he was 18. she dated Loki and Vidcund when they were both 17. sound realistic enough for me.

also it kinda matches Nervous' age, since he aged up twice when he was already with the Beakers. let's say, he joined them when he was ~13-16, and they were ~24-27 (already trying the Elixir).

damn, that was hard. (i'm already the same age as the Beakers here, where is my personal test subject?)

Jill Smith - 12 y.o. Johnny Smith - 19 y.o. Jenny Smith - 48 y.o. Pollination Tech 9 Smith - ~60-65 y.o.

Olive Specter - ~75 y.o. (Nervous was born when she was 50+) Ophelia Specter - 18 y.o.

Erin Beaker is most likely 30 y.o., Kristen is ~28-29 y.o. Lola and Chloe... no idea, honestly, since they're a part of a complicated Curious family lore, and i need some time to sort it out xD

what I've done

The town of Veronaville is one built on little love and one big feud. For years, the Capp and Monty clans have been at each other’s throats; yet this hatred cannot stop the younger generation from crossing borders and falling for one another. Will their actions bring both feuding families to ruin, or spark reconciliation? Can their love truly heal such deep wounds?

Wouldn't you like see Veronaville in entirely different light? K-he.

WHAT’S NEW:

Added a massive storyline! The familiar Сapp, Monty and Summerdream families will be seen in a whole new light🌟

Added three brand new families with their own stories and secrets! 🌟

Added some new and special townies. At the end of the town album there will be a list of townspeople who have biographies and memories, so no need to add/resurrect literally everybody on your lot. 🌟

Added 20 new community lots + remade the old ones as well 🌟

DISCLAMER AND TRIGGER WARNINGS!!!

This hood is not a retelling of Shakespeare's plays, nor is it a mere makeover of the Maxis’ Veronaville. Think of this neighborhood as an alternate universe.

The Neighborhood contains themes of: fantasy, s*icide and self-harm, body horror, OC X CANON (?)

I may have (unintentionally) spoiled some of your favorite simmies… 

ISSUES THAT I AM AWARE OF:

Some townies’ memories could disappear. It happens even with the mod that forbids the townies from losing their memories. I don't know what the reason is so I recommend checking them before you play the game, namely, by going into the family and teleporting the townies to the resident lot. If the memories are already gone, then please re-download the hood.

Hoodchecker might show some minor errors connected to the wrong memory subjects. This was intentional so don't be alarmed! It doesn't affect your game in any negative way.

Don't try to resurrect Julien Cooke. Just forget about him.

Oberon originally had an overlay with a mechanical prosthetic. But for some reason in some testers’ games the overlay was affecting Oberon's complexion, turning his skintone white… So I removed the overlay entirely. You can add it back if you wish!

RECOMMENDED MODS AND PROGRAMS:

Cyber Parts by @themeasureofasim (optional, Oberon’s prosthetics)

Restore Default Names for Sims in Subhoods (if you intent to play a subhood version of it)

🐸DOWNLOAD MF - SFS

THE CONTENTS:

VD01 ENG is a main hood; contains some of my CCs.

VVBS CC is an archive with some custom content from me for the hood (consists of: some cosmetics, contacts (in the masks section) and one female haircut).

VVBS SUBHOOD is a subhood with two major differences from the main hood: it does not contain pictures from Storytelling folder (so the nhood is less heavy) + you can pick and choose whether you want it with or without my custom content.

EXTRA CONTENT folder is not necessary to download; it contains some extra stuff from my project. This file is locked, but you can gather the password in main hood itself through the storytelling pictures and a little game in the community lots (you can find the rules of this game in the description of 2 Pentameter Parkway lot). Think of it as a reward for your attentiveness!

If you find any errors or bugs, just let me know! THANK YOU!

idk what to put in here so that dads' ranking

P.S. Destroy this town with your crazy ideas. :))

Well, the English version of this interactive fanfic is finally OUT!

I have Pahleen (translation) and @f1shart (English editing) to thank for that! And I also want to thank the many wonderful testers and people who supported my project!🌹🌹

I will continue to post materials about this neighborhood on this blog, but I also have plans to expand this universe, so for that I created a blog @vv-bs so you can follow the development of the project!

Hello to the wonderful community of TS2 Simmers!

I have a question..

I see so many of you with your wonderful simblrs and posting progress and stories. I would LOVE to do that. My question is, how do I go about getting my screenshots in game, into my normal computer gallery?

Secondly, I would like to hear what inspires you to develop your story lines. Do you follow your sims wants and make the story based on that, or do y’all have a narrative already in your heads?

I appreciate any and all responses, much love to everyone💕

For a fan favorite character, Pascal sure gets done horrificially dirty a lot in fanon interpretations

Vidcund and Lazlo are allowed a variety of interpretations for both their personalities and their relationships with others, in spite of how simplistic some of those interpretations may be which results in them being demonized or dumbed down. Crystal Vu, who's specifically designed to be a woman that Lazlo has a crush on and who's also been antagonized by the fandom for being so, gets to be her own person and have different interpretations in regards to both her relationship with Lazlo and who she is as a person. Even Nervous, in spite of sometimes being reduced to "Pascal's boyfriend," gets to have other interpretations regarding his personality and his relationships with his family and the Beakers

All Pascal gets is either his relationship with Nervous or him being the father of an alien baby, whether still pregnant or after Tycho has already been born. You get some stuff regarding to his relationships with his siblings, but it's surface level stuff that usually revolves around the baby most of the time

And sure, there's the occasional Pascal/Buzz or Pascal/Cassandra, but it's crumbs compared to the variety of characterization that Buzz and Cassandra get with other people or by themselves. Both of them get to have different relationships (both platonic and romantic) with other people and other interpretations of their character. Cassandra is not defined by her relationship with either Don, Darren or Mary Sue (depending on your interpretations), and General Buzz, in spite of being portrayed as a massive piece of shit most of the time, gets to have a variety of interpretations regarding his dynamics with his family and other members in the neighborhood

Even Brandi, the other pregnant premade sim, gets to be her own person and have different interpretations. She gets relationships with different sims both in and out of Pleasantview, she's got her dysfunctional familial relationship with Dustin, her trying to avoid repeating the same thing happening with Beau, her relationship with her dead ex-husband Skip, and even people interpret her personality/morality in different ways with the information about her that the game provides us.

Why doesn't Pascal get that level of variety? He's one of the most beloved characters in the game (and arguably in the Sims franchise as well) yet he suffers the most from character simplification. Please give him more things to do that don't revolve around either Nervous or Tycho. He should be allowed to be his own person, just like everyone else
