So, I got slightly bored, and was trying to work on a personal headshot... that's when I wondered how would sims look ran through an AI program? So that's what I did! I ran all of the TS1 console sims through a photo editor, and here are the results! These are all of the sims from Play the Sims mode. Bonus: Fran Foofaraw from Get a Life!

Sure, Brandi’s life isn’t going in the direction she thought it would; she’s a highschool dropout, her husband left her right after her second pregnancy, her oldest son is doing everything in his power to fuck up his and her life, she recently lost her house and had to grovel to stay at her parents place, and her ex-husband just moved back into town, rubbing his carefree life in her face. Sure, her life isn’t going how she wanted, but it could be worse…. she could be pregnant!

Betty never approved of Brandi’s more extravenous life choices, and that included everything with Skip Broke. With her daughter recently losing her home and having to move back in with her children, can Betty bite her tongue and try to be understanding like her husband?

Betty Newbie

[eurosimmer]

Rose: I love your costumes! We can make a coven!

Ollie: A very sexy coven with you in it!

..........

Betty: Was that a flirty interaction with Ollie?

Rose: It was an autonomous one but I'm just going where the gameplay takes me.

Tried to make the elder versions of the Newbies, Burbs, and Pleasants. I've always wondered what other people's personal canons were on them, since they've all passed away in TS2.

I've always imagined Bob and Betty went on to live in a retirement home after selling their house in SimLane, because Bob's health rather deteriorated and Betty was just stressed out. Her relationship with Brandi was always challenging because her own mother was tough on her, and she was concerned about Brandi marrying Skip as much as they liked him. Bob died first, and later on, Dustin was born around the same time as Betty's death of a stroke. Shame they never got to meet their grandkids.

For the Burbs, Brad always seemed older and he died after John and Jennifer got engaged. I'm happy to see that Tiffany lived to meet Lucy, as I imagine she'd be pretty old by then. I imagine her as a chainsmoking and sharp-tongued grandma. I like the Early Pleasantview canon of her, moving to the city again and all that.

Jeff and Diane Pleasant, too, apparently lived to see Angela and Lilith. But I imagine they'd be kind of distant to the grandkids. Jeff seemed to be tanner, so I guess they retired in a warmer climate. They died around the same time, but I dunno who'd go first--probably Jeff from his disappointment of not being able to go to Mars.

Round 6 - Newbies

Picture-perfect family

To celebrate Betty's promotion further down the Politician ladder, the family organised a small dinner between closest households: them, Goths and Roomies. Later the same evening, Mortimer quietly revealed to the new City Council that the timelessness influence is expanding, and soon several other regions in this world are going to be affected. And although Betty was initially supporting the idea of eternal life, she changed her opinion and started to agree with her husband and Mortimer.

Bob had this idea of spending their weekend in the forest camp near the sites where he has been working all this time as a ranger. He thought this experience would be very good for the kids. As soon as cabins and entertainment spots were prepared, he proposed going there. Betty accepted, but only with the condition that they were going to sleep somewhere warn and under the roof, with working showers and such.

They also burned their breakfast, distracted by this talk and their rekindling romance.

Children took their lessons about the great outdoors to hearts, it seems. Everybody had a great time, played games and explored around.

-Wow, mom! I didn't know you could use bows! - Brandon was very impressed when he saw Betty shooting away at targets. - I didn't know, either! - Betty replied. - But feels like I do enjoy unusual activities once in a while.

Playing around with genetics to make genetically correct Tutorial Joe and Tutorial Jane sims to add to @thedudewiththedragontattoos‘s genetically correct Pleasantview, since Joe is technically a Newbie.

Pleasantview Ages: Calculations on the Broke Family AKA “Thanks EAxis, I hate it!”

I love trying to make sense of nonsense. I’ve also gotten attached to the 1 day = 1 year system when trying to calculate age.

Ages don’t make a lot of sense. For this purpose I’ve chosen to calculate the teen stage as actually being 7 days, and young adult stage as being 8 days. This way, we can use a 1 day = 1 year system that somewhat works.

Broke family

This means Brandi Broke is 37 and Dustin Broke is 18. This would mean Brandi gave birth to him at 19. This is very early, even in Sims terms, because it means she was still in the teen life stage when giving birth to him.

Skip Broke is a baffling case, because he is only 7 years younger than Brandi’s mother and father. Further complicated by the fact that we don’t know how long ago Riverview was.

Bob and Betty Newbie

In Riverview for The Sims 3, Bob and Betty are both teenagers, 13 days away from being young adults. In The Sims 3, that is only one day into the teen stage.

If applying 1 day = 1 year to The Sims 3 the way I do with The Sims 2, then this would mean they are 18 years old and Skip Broke is 11.

If we instead try to adjust each life stage so they’d match up with Sims 2 - meaning that, since the toddler stage in Sims 3 is 7 days and it’s 4 days in Sims 2, a sim’s age would be number of days in Sims 3 multiplied by 0,57 in order to translate their age - the result is instead that Bob and Betty are 15,9 years old and Skip is 7,9 years old.

In order to calculate all of this, we also need to know: How old were Bob and Betty when they passed away?

Age data in SimPe?

Age data in SimPe shows Betty had 15 days left in the elder stage when she died, and Bob had 33 days left. This doesn’t make a lot of sense with the elder stage in The Sims 2 as it’s always 9-30 days long. We have two ways of explaining this

Elixir of Life

Bob actually was in the adult stage but he’s counted as an elder anyway

Several possibilities here. If we assume that they had the longest possible age stage, that would mean the max age in The Sims 2 is 89 years old, which matches fairly well with The Sims 3′s life span which is 90 years old.

Based off that assumption we can say Bob died at 57 years old and Betty died at 74- which would be 20 years of difference and thus not possible with the time frame described in Brandi’s memories. Let’s take a look at those:

Memories

Now, memories in Sims 2 aren’t that reliable, given the whole thing with Brandi being impregnated by Skip post-mortem. We also know now that Brandi was impregnated in the teen stage, so the memories of when she grew up aren’t reliable. So again, these calculations are not 100% sure.

According to Brandi’s memories

Now, with the previous context, we know that 19 in The Sims is actually a teenager, which means her marriage memories don’t make sense. But 19 year olds can marry in several countries, so if we suspend the in-game system for a while and look at it in a real-life context, this does work.

This means Bob and Betty died after Brandi fell in love with Skip but before Dustin was born. The ability to fall in love in-game only occurs once a sim hits the teen stage, which is at age 15. So Bob died and Betty died during the course of 4 days/years.

This also begs the question of when Brandi was born. In The Sims, which is 25 years prior to Sims 2, there is no sign of Brandi, despite her being 37 years old, and Bob and Betty weren’t married yet. The only plausible explanation I can think of is her being sent to “military school” in The Sims, or possibly Brandi not being their biological child and instead being adopted by them later on.

What we can say for certain:

Brandi was 12 years old in The Sims.

Bob and Betty were at least 22+ years old in The Sims (the young adult stage).

In The Sims 3, Bob and Betty are either 18 or 16 years old depending on how you calculate it, and Brandi clearly wasn’t born yet. Skip was 11 or 8 depending on how you calculate it.

Since Brandi clearly isn’t born yet, that means they must’ve had Brandi at earliest by age 19 since a sim pregnancy takes 3 days/years.

This means that Skip is at least 11 years older than Brandi, and bear in mind, this is if we take the earliest possibility. With the other calculation it would mean Bob and Betty at earliest had her at 21, at which point Skip was 14.

Bob and Betty died as elders, meaning they were at least 59 when dying, and we know they died somewhere in between Brandi being 15 and 19, so the youngest possible age they could’ve been when they had Brandi is 40.

Conclusion: Bob and Betty Newbie were at least 40 years old when they had Brandi. This means Riverview takes place 22-24 years before The Sims 2 and, with Skip being 7-8 years younger than them, it means Skip Broke is 32-33 years older than Brandi, if we are being generous.

HOWEVER,

This means Skip was at least 51-52 when Dustin was born. Skip did not die as an elder. Brandi’s memories show Skip dying before Dustin became a teen and Beau was born. This means Skip died somewhere between 5 and 11 years ago- again, not possible for Brandi to be pregnant with his child, so I don’t know how one solves that if trying to play by the rules here.

For Skip to die before becoming an elder he would’ve needed to die 6-7 years ago, which, again, means 1) Brandi’s current pregnancy is impossible and I wholeheartedly support @potentialfate-sims​ take on the Brandi pregnancy, 2) The age difference between Brandi and Skip is still massive.

Right after graduating high school, Brandi and Skip had their first bundle of joy.

Betty and Bob decided to stay and help out with baby Dustin.
