WELCOME TO PLEASANTOWN

PART 1 part 2!!! this took much more thinking than the previous one but i hope it turned out just as engaging :) i'll likely make another post with more details also big thanks to al-pomegranate-seeds for the ideas you sent me earlier, it really helped! the descriptions are below 🔽

GRUNT = DREAMER Professor Buzz Grunt is a respected researcher in his field, as well as an aspiring history novel author. However, after the unfortunate fire accident and the loss of his wife it became harder to provide proper education to his sons. Can his golden child Tank prove his worth to this demanding dad? Is he really ready to make a commitment to the new Specter heiress for the sake of the family?

SMITH = PLEASANT

Jenny always knew that there will be difficulties with cross-cultural relationships, but between juggling family and career problems, her way too secretive husband is just too much to keep track of. What is he hiding? Will Johnny be able to fit in and reconcile with his little sister? SPECTER = GOTH

When the head of Specter Industries was about to retire and pass the business to her son, he disappeared without a trace. Is there a possibility that this is the doing of someone with eyes set on her fortune? Can Olive really entrust the inheritance to her niece Ophelia?

CURIOUS = BROKE

Economy is tough and passion for science is expensive, so the Curious brothers have to share the living space to get by. After the birth of Tycho things have become especially challenging. While Lazlo is invested in dubious hacking activity, and with Vidcund eager to fund another one of his “secret science projects”, can Pascal cope with his new role as a cosmic parent? And what about the rumor that the Specter heir was last seen scaling the deck of their house?

SINGLES = CALIENTE

Lola and Chloe arrived to Pleasantown to reconnect with their roots, or so they claim. Have they really been missing the fatherly affection, or do they have ulterior, fiscal motives?

LOSTE = LOTHARIO

Kristen doesn’t particularly care for Pleasantown, but she has to admit that people here are quite the attraction. She is committed to her dream of becoming a world famous sports champion. Is her commitment to Erin Beaker just as genuine?

BEAKER = BURB

After graduating from college, Erin moved in with her brother and his wife while she’s trying to adjust to adult life. While Loki is being hospitable, Circe is growing tired of tarot readings and psychic seances. Can Erin’s newfound love help out before Circe turns her into a makeup testing animal?

💬 i hope there is enough drama to make this work hahaha i'm also planning to post a couple of other characters and notable townies swapped separately

my take on the strangetown premades!

base temp by @/mageofpanic

this took a lot longer than expected + some of these guys look a little more rough than desired but I'm pretty happy anyways!

keep in mind that these are *my* interpretations of the characters that i've curated over the many years ive been fixated on this game :,-)

some design notes below the cut since i put an ungodly amount of effort into the thought procress (its a lot of text, warning you now) ⬇️

- following the ts3 + ts2 genetics, my curious-smith family are darker skinned with less racially ambiguous features, fuller lips, larger noses, etc. (although not every person of that ethnicity is the same of course! these were purely observational looking at their family line). they are afro mestizo in my headcanon, with glarn being afro latino & kitty being mestizo.

- vidcund still has his mullet thing going on but it is a loc mullet!

- my curiouses are generally chubby. i don't have any exact reason for this. i know a lot of people headcanon pascal as being chubby but i think it could be cool if they all were. it also adds visual interest with different body types.

- erin & loki are scandinavian (like me!) so they're already very pale but i wanted to excaberbate that even further by making them albino. this isn't an accurate depiction of albinism as in real life, people with that condition often have health issues alongside that. (if i were to give that any thought, i like to think that loki initially became interested in inventing to benefit his own health issues but then his ambition took him down a darker, more mad sciencetist path). for erin as well, i just think it's cute considering her whole psychic thing, lookin a bit fairy-like + contrasts nicely with her pink colour scheme.

- nervous is darker skinned, exactly the same as his ma since grim doesn't have dna really. (some people have their own school of thought regarding why nerv being super pale, but this is my own). he has burn scars as electrocution causes scarring on skin + organ tissue, which he has gone through, a lot. he has various stitches, scars, and vitiligo marks across his face and body. the vitiligo on his face looks like a skull. this was originally going to be on the left side of his face, where theres no burns, but i figured it made symbolic sense + was a lot less cluttered if the burns covered up the skull vitiligo markings on his face.

- johnny, ripp, tank all have acne / acne scars - typical of teenagers.

- chloe + lola are of different skintones for storytelling purposes. in my little world, chloe and lola are very deeply close but also very affected by the abscence of their dad (him abandoning them), and being the only aliens they really knew of - basically being raised in isolation for most of their life. This is your typical cain & abel tale. Lola always felt inferior compared to Chloe, who had personality and charisma. She was always jealous of that, feeling like she’s always the awkward one + always will be in her sister’s shadow because of this. She tries her best to compensate for this through pouring herself into her work, in hopes that when she gets money, she’ll finally be accepted. This extends into their assimilation to humanness as well. Chloe is able to assimilate better whereas Lola feels like she cannot.

- Ripp is very different to canon.. I don't have a lot of an explanation for this but I just wanted to give him scene hair (also longer hair because I headcanon her as being a trans girl, but a very closeted one so she's in that awkward phase of growing out her hair but pretending like it's just shaggy + pulls it back into a low ponytail). The cleft lip is a bit of projection on my part, as I had a cleft palate when I was younger. Characters that I like will recieve some kind of disability that I have, for Nervous it's deafness + debilitating leg pain, for Ripp its this. I think it's also interesting narrative wise to compare how Buzz & the Beakers both handle disability. Buzz is a very 'tough it out' & 'you're just being sensitive' type whereas the Beakers uhh caused it, with their experimentation.

- I'm gonna be real, I hate Jill's design. It tells me nothing about her personality wise + I'm bummed out how human she looks. We need more weird little girl designs! Tried to find a middle ground.

- Buck has brown eyes like the corrupted version of Lyla. I chose to make him look like a carbon copy of Lyla (relatively speaking) for irony purposes. He has the least memories of her and yet looks exactly like her.

- Kristen is intended to look more like a typical masc lesbian because I am soo indulgent towards making the singles household just like a crazy lesbian situationship household (minus the curious sisters with eachother - of course).

"Every show has one" but it's the three base game neighborhoods from the Sims 2

Posted another version on the sims 2 subreddit and adjusted it accordingly according to some feedback I got on there so if you see a similar one there it's probably also from me

Sharing my headcanons for Strangetown sims heights.

What are your headcanons?

Pascal Curious - 174 cm (5' 8.5")

Vidcund Curious - 192 cm (6' 3.6")

Lazlo Curious - 176 cm (5' 9.3")

Crystal Vu - 179 cm (5' 10.5")

Nervous Subject - 211 cm (6' 11.1")

Loki Beaker - 190 cm (6' 2.8")

Circe Beaker - 172 cm (5' 7.7")

Erin Beaker - 164 cm (5' 4.6")

Chloe Curious - 178 cm (5' 10")

Lola Curious - 178 cm (5' 10")

Kristen Loste - 167 cm (5' 5.7")

Ajay Loner - 173 cm (5' 8.1")

Jenny Smith - 160 cm (5'3")

Pt9 Smith - 186 cm (6' 1.2")

Johnny Smith - 185 cm (6' 0.8")

Jill Smith - (as adult) 158 cm (5' 2.2")

Olive Specter - 162 cm (5' 3.8")

Ophelia Nigmos - 157 cm (5' 1.8")

Buzz Grunt - 188 cm (6' 2")

Tank Grunt - 188 cm (6' 2")

Ripp Grunt - 178 cm (5' 10.1")

Buck Grunt - (as adult) 184 cm (6' 04")

For the pictures I assume the default height is 180 cm in the sims 2, so I calculated the values for the stretchskeleton cheat based on that.

“You have got to stop antagonizing them, Chloe,” the black-haired woman said, shaking her head with disapproval. “That’s what got us locked in this stupid room in the first place.”

“Oh, shut up. They deserve it.” her sister replied.

Two years ago, the Curious twins were detained shortly after their father’s family. PT9 had fathered Chloe and Lola during his days as a pollination technician, and though he wasn’t able to be present during their early childhoods, they’d grown close after his spaceship crash made his visit to this planet permanent. When the military showed up on the Smith family’s doorstep, Johnny, their half-brother, sent them a quick text before his phone was destroyed. His message was clear: Get out of Strangetown NOW. But it was already too late.

Now they were stuck there.

Usually, like the Smiths, they had their own room, complete with beds as soft as rocks and fridges stocked full of food void of nutrients. But Chloe’s running mouth had sealed them in solitary confinement.

happy international women's day 💐

Ajay and Lola got married! Here's highlights from the wedding:

"That's such kismet that you are neighbors that just fell in love! I wish you all the best of luck in your futures, you two!"

"Oh no, all of that oil spill! Kristen, do you think if I wrote a strongly worded letter to our mayor, the oil will stop?" "Erin... What do you mean by... stop?" "Y'know, stop!" "... Sure. Go write that letter."

"Pfft... Please, Erin, I beg of you, let me see that letter!" "?"

Drawing every premade sim in Strangetown but the amount of effort I put in them is based on how much I enjoyed playing them

If you saw me post this before on my other account, no you did not

Bonus (ft. two of my OTPs and Crystal Vu):

I don't hate Crystal, I just headcanon her as evil and I don't think he has it in him to also be evil. Sorry Crystal/Lazlo shippers

[grimbunnies]

Kristen has come to Strangetown hoping to find herself. Will she be successful in her new home or will the odd things that always seem to happen here drive her away?

even more Strangetown shitposts, whoopee

I know a good chunk of people usually hc Nervous as gay (myself included) so just switch out "wife" for "husband" in your mind for that one if you want

ajay loner's biggest fear is to run into his neighbors and having to socialize with them. he very much prefers his solitude, thank you very much!
