Strangehood Genealogy and other anomalies
questar:
OK
I'm sure everyone has already read about this somewhere but I can't put it to rest. What is the deal with Strangetown family genealogy?
Simpe and EA data do not match up.
Curious family
Just odd or just impossible? Ok, it's odd that Jenny Curious married PT#9, the creature that inseminated her father. But it's impossible that she would marry the thing and then not know that she has two sisters by him. How creepy can you get? SimPe shows Glarn Curious as the dad of the four Curious children Jenny, Pascal, Vidcund, and Lazlo. In SimPE, he is also the "mother" of the two singles siblings Lola and Chloe. That makes six Sims who we should consider as two sets of related siblings. Somehow, though, they show up in the game as distinct, non-related, and worse - marriageable. I mean Pascal, Vidcund or Lazlo can marry either Lola or Chloe. There are lots of loose ends here. First of all, EA has injected false memories into the game that just cannot be true. Who was Glabe Curious and why do both Lola and Chloe Singles have memories of being potty trained and taught to talk by her? Was she really Lola and Chloe's mother? Was she Glarn Curious' sister? In that case, there would still be some family tie. Lola and Chloe would be cousins to the Curious siblings. But SimPe shows him as their father and not the uncle. So, I doubt that Glabe was their mother. The potty traiing memories remain a mystery. What about who raised the Single sisters? Neither one has any memory of either Glarn or Kitty Curious. If PT is the biological father of the Singles siblings, then who was their adoptive father? EA Games has included photos of Lola and Chloe as little girls in their photo album. A red headed woman is instructing them about a man who does NOT show up anywhere in the game. Is that supposed to be their father? If so, he does not show in SimPE. If PT is just their biological father, then why is he consciously aware of their existence like a real dad would be? He constantly shows wants and memories associated with Lola and Chloe. Is it possible that PT is really not the alien that inseminated Glarn Curious? If he didn't, then who did????? Glabe Curious is in the game, she is dead but resurrect-able. What stinks - EA games erases memories for dead Sims. So we really can't tell by checking Glarn Curious or whoever. His memory banks have been wiped. What we need here is info from the creator of the Strangetown - who made Strangetown?
An anonymous EA employee or...?
Specter family
Weird and horror meet
Possible story line. Patrick Jones leaves Olive Specter at the altar and it seems that she just can'tget over it. (Check Specter family photo album) She becomes bitter and cruel and begins to lure men (and others) to their death. She is first and foremost a black widow, who marries men and then somehow kills them. She marries Rigger Mortis, a rich, older Sim and then knocks him off. Early Demise, and Tim(e)ly Demise, Lou and Hugh Thanasia (get it?!? :P) and Rigger Mortis are all dead and buried in her back yard. To be fair, two of her victims were siblings of her husbands. Her last husband was Ichabod, who also died before her. Natch. Apparently she so blood thirsty that she makes some sort of pack with the devil (Grim Reaper). They do the wild thing (!) and poor Nervous is born. Alternatively, was he adopted? Secondly, Olive is a psycho mass murderer - many show up on her doorstep and disappear forever. So went the maid, the pizza delivery person, the mail carrier, the repairman and some gender-confused teenagers - Luc and Melissa Sims. Finally, she is quite a danger to her family. The authorities repossess her kid, and she is doing a way wack job of raising her niece. You have to wonder too, just how her younger sister and her husband died. Sure is a lot of death around Olive Specter, she's a real menace to the community. Genealogical question - is she the birth mother or the adoptive mother of Nervous? Why do they have such distinct skin colors? Did EA games deliberately choose to make him light skinned, knowing that he is supposed to be the one character who is tortured and abused? I mean it would be AWFUL to create a major game character who is supposed to be a victim, be abused, misused and tortured and then have him be dark skinned on top of all that. Some people might just take that badly. Could turn out to be pretty bad PR foor our buddies at EA. The social worker seizes him and he is given to the Beakers (Circe and Loki). Somehow, he grew up in the house. He has two or three memories of "growing up badly" after moving into their household. That means that he arrived there either as a tiny baby or as a toddler. Funny thing is, the Beakers did not adopt him, so how did he get there? Erin singles, who also grew up in that household, does not have any memories of Nervous. So I assume he moved in after she had already moved out. SimPe reveals two character files for Nervous Subject N002_User00004 and Nervous Subject N002_User00016. I am guessing that one Nervous, #16 who is dead in the game, was actually tortured to death by Circe and Loki who both have ZERO nice in their personalities. Then EA has created another Nervous ' #4. This Nervous is still alive when we get the game. Did EA game clone him? Anyway, what is the psychology behind all this? I used to love the game's fluffy irony and lightweight social commentary. But this is just weird. What are we laughing at here? Should Nervous be a joke, when there are real children going through foster care nightmares out there? I guess I wish that the game showed more sympathy for Nervous. For the Specter household - the bottom line is - what is this doing to the black population in Strangehood? :P By the time we get there, only Olive and poor Ophelia are left! More efficient then the Klux Klan! :o
That's all for now. Your comments appreciated.

I'm not the only one wondering about this stuff.

About Chloe and Lola Singles:
This is what I see in the Enhanser:
Glarn was captured by aliens, and PT is the father of the twins Chloe and Lola. Glab was not their mother, but could potty train them for sure. I don't know why she has blank memory - perhaps she is like Bella.
questar:
So Enhancer also shows Glarn as the dad. I think that is proof positive that there are six related siblings.

The characters have no real storyline behind them unless you attach one to them. Maxis attached a weak one to the characters to get a storyline going, but I don't think they thought to elaborate b/c I don't think they figured the players would really pay that much attention..that or they just didn't care.
I think it has also been noted that the characters developed as the game did so who knows went on to mess up family trees, relationships ect.
I've saw the whole curious/singles/smith mess but just ignored it..that is one messed up family lol But if you just figure they're all related and keep them from breeding you're set.
The Specter thing appears to be someone's twisted humor...assuming that they never *could* actually reproduce with the actual grim reaper and spawn a memory of doing so, CAS and debug mode was all they need to create a sim known as the grim reaper and hook him up with Olive. And from the looks of it they created a very strange looking sim to be the grim reaper. If you actually use any mods to get a sim pregnant with the grim reapers child, they look nothing like nervous and are usually quite good looking.
I too have always wondered though how Nervous got with the Beakers. I guess they are supposed to be the evil scary scientists that live there or something but of course upon entering the house you see that it's a normal house, Nervous is well taken care of, and the reason he is running around puking on other lots is b/c he has food poisoning.
I don't try to figure out Maxis storylines. They really aren't entertaining to me. I've used a few of them to feul my own storylines when starting out in Maxis made hoods but they are really of no value. I mean look what they did...they had idiots running around screaming WHERE'S BELLA and thinking something would magically happen if they reunited her with her family for months lol
Sandilou:
I played Strangetown when I first got the game. I swear that there were no family markers on the thumbnails for Johnny Smith and Lola Singles when I first started playing them. They were best friends and I wanted them to be an alien couple. However, even though they'd reached full points on the friendship scale, I couldn't get them to flirt. When I doublechecked again, the family markers were in place for Johnny, Lola and Chloe. That's when I started looking at the alien family tree. During those early hedonistic days I used to transfer families across neighbourhoods. As I was using a telescope hack I had loads of alien families in the three Maxis neighbourhoods so I decided to move them all into Strangetown. When I checked each alien family tree I found out that one PT was fertilising all the neighbourhoods so all my aliens were related; it didn't matter whether they were in Pleasantview, Strangetown or Veronaville. Soon after my game blew up. :)
