Strangetown (Las Rarezas) if the inhabitants were Latin Americans Hispanic

Latin Americans is crossed out because I initially included Brazil here, but decided this post would be for Hispanic Heritage Month. Spain is not included for the same reason LOL. I included Brazil anyway but it will be in italics. I know that Brazil is not a Hispanic country, I'm just lazy to change it

EDIT: I DID NOT INCLUDE AJAY, I FORGOT ABOUT HIM LMFAAOOOO now yes sorry Ajay

OKAY here we go

The Curious Brothers and Jenny Smith: Argentine-Bolivians, they would specifically come from the province of Salta lmfoej, I only maintain this because I saw an illustration of a guy similar to Pascal drinking mate. Kitty would be Argentine and Glarn would be Bolivian 🧉

Johnny and Jill Smith: Argentinian, yas queen

Pol. Smith: Pol was not born on earth, but during his years of adaptation on earth he lived in Mexico, that is why he would say that he is Mexican, only that he was born in Veracruz JEODHEOEKR

(*) The Muenda family (Olive and Ophelia's family): I like to think that they are of Brazilian origin or from some Lusitano speaking country. Olive and Willow come from Porto Alegre, but Ophelia was born in São Paulo

Ichabod Specter: Puerto Rican, Afro-Latino king ❤️‍🩹 he comes from San Juan... He loves mofongo

Nervous Subject: Chilean-Brazilian, was born in Arica, Chile, while Olive was fleeing justice... accused of murder AH... 😔

Circe Beaker: Circe would be from Bolivia, specifically from the department of Beni... Although she would hate caporales omg she's so fake booooo, love her anyway

Loki and Erin Beaker: Swedish-Uruguayan, their parents are Swedish but they were born in Río Negro. Loki and Pascal hate each other 😝 /j

The Grunts: Chileans, Buzz was born in Santiago and that's why I hate him... His children were born in Calama... Tank reminds me of my cousin 🧠

Kristen Loste: Costa Rican, IDK WHYY She just gives me the vibe that she was born in some small town on the outskirts of San José (too specific idc)

Lola and Chloe Singles: Bolivians, they were born in Bolivia when Glarn still lived in his native country and as a good Hispanic father he abandoned them. Glabe is Paraguayan 🫶

Ajay Loner: Since I forgot to include Ajay, he would be Paraguayan because he would be like his country, he doesn't exist (BROMA, LOS AMO MUCHO PARAGUAYOS USTEDES Y NOSOTROS NOS ENTENDEMOS BIEN PQ NINGUNO DE NOSOTROS HABLA BIEN ESPAÑOL OK 🇨🇱🤝🇵🇾)

Bella Brand: Blackfyre 002

Published: 11-7-2023 | Updated: N/A SUMMARY “Inspired by the wealth of Bella Goth lore from the Sims/SimCity franchises (aka the “simsverse”), the Bella Brand Series includes more than a dozen sets and 230+ new business-themed items. Lore suggests that the wealth/influence of the Gilman, Crumplebottom, Bachelor, and Goth families increases considerably under Mortimer and Bella Goth, especially the latter. So, this series imagines what a prestigious Bella-based brand might look like…” Blackyre 002 takes inspiration from bold, infamous beauties who turned nightmares into new opportunities, from Lady Ravendancer to Olive Muenda-Thanasia-Mortis-Specter, to Bella Goth. The set includes functional apparel and cosmetics – enjoy! DETAILS Requires ALL EPs/SPs. You need Mesh Set 001 (Simmons, 2023) and the Display Counter (BellasSecret_Counter_Somedaythesun)from the TS2 Maxis Match Lingerie Store Set (SomedayTheSun, 2023) – these items are required for all textures to display in-game. The counter uses recolors from the Bosenklavier Model B grand piano (Bon Voyage EP). Find recolors for the counter interior in the Bella Brand: Retail Floor Set (Simmons, 2023).

Recolors may include swatches for items in other Bella Brand sets such as signs, packages, cosmetics, etc. Objects in Sims 2 are limited to two recolorable parts, so not all items are recolorable in the same way. Find additional recolors for Bella Brand sets on this site under #ts2recolors, #co2recolors, and #co2bellabrand.

ITEMS Blackfyre Bone n’ Body Lotion (498 poly) Blackfyre Moonlight Moisturizer Potion (345 poly) Blackfyre Magic Skin Masque (710 poly) Blackfyre Midnight Mist (462 poly) Blackfyre Quickshower Potion (584 poly) Blackfyre: The Ravendancer (932 poly) Hanging Ravendancer (980 poly) DOWNLOAD (choose one) from SFS | from MEGA

Functional Apparel Objects Apparel objects are debug items and show up as “clothing pile” in the catalog (Misc > Dressers). They must be placed on one of the DEBUG displays/shelves or they’ll float. Once purchased, take them out of the sim’s inventory and choose from one of the following: Purchase Clothing. Select an outfit (or several) of any type. Each apparel object is worth §100 towards the TOTAL cost. Sims save more money (and your businesses make more money) if they use one apparel object per new outfit. Sell. Recycle the object for §100 simoleons.  If you exit the Buy Clothing window without adding anything to your shopping cart, §100 will be added to the sim’s household funds instead. Apparel objects are worth §100 regardless of how much sims pay for them on OFB/community lots. Pricing an item below this amount can function like a discount sale (i.e., pay $75 in-store and §100 towards the purchase or a 25% “discount/rebate.” You can decide whether this counts as cheating). Pricing it above this amount is not recommended since sims will end up losing extra money. Debug objects have slots which “catch” fellow clones if you place them too close. To prevent this when trying to clutter them close together, turn “snap objects to grid” OFF and “move objects” OFF. Functional Cosmetic/Hygiene Products Items can be used from any surface or a sim’s inventory and will boost hygiene/comfort. After several uses (12 by default), the product will need to be replaced. When using cosmetics from a sim’s inventory, wait until the sims finishes using the first item BEFORE selecting the second one. Otherwise, the second object will be removed from the inventory. Both the object and plug-in files are needed for each item to work properly in-game. Number of uses and motive gain are tuneable in simPE (BCONS: 0x00 = number of uses, 0x002 = hygiene, 0x03 = comfort).

current concepts for the cursed swap au (VERY bare bones and badly explained bear with me)

basically, the curious brothers switch with nervous + the beakers and then the smiths, grunts and specters all kinda cycle

(are there really only five families in this town?? holy shit)

Here are some simple outlines of their new dynamics (all of these are still wips)(also the idea of a swap au is being stretched to its limit, the only things the stories have in common at this point is vibes 💀)

The Curious Brothers: After Tycho was taken by the government, Pascal kinda went insane. Whether it's the aliens or the military, he's always convinced that something is coming to get him. His brothers have been trying to figure out a way to fix everything, but because they're math science nerds and not brain science nerds, they don't really know what they're doing.

Neville (Nervous) and the Beakers: After a long, rough childhood of being fucked up and strange, Neville Muenda has settled down in Strangetown, in the hopes of finding people just as weird as he is. He's been studying magic for years, in an attempt to Velveteen Rabbit/Pinocchio his way into creating a son from a sack of flour (as well adjusted and healthy individuals do). His relationship with his housemates (the Beakers) is distant but cooperative, a sort of mutual gain. The gadgets and taxidermied animals all over the place ensure that Neville isn't disturbed by any visitors while working, and the Beakers get to microdose being involved in necromancy. Y'know, as a little treat.

The Smiths: Jenny's disappearance marked the end of PT9's entire world. Everything on the planet reminds him of her, and everything seems hollow without her. The landscapes and stars he once yearned to call home are now nothing more than backdrops without a subject. As soon as he gets the chance, he's taking the kids back to Sixam, in the hopes that they can escape her crushing, overwhelming absence. Who knows, maybe they'll even blend in better there than in Strangetown. But I don't think he's taking into account how all of this affects the kids. I mean, after all, why make connections when it's only a matter of time before you're whisked away into space?

Ophelia and Olive: The resident weirdos of Strangetown, there are dozens of different rumors going around about these two. While Olive has somewhat made peace with her odd lifestyle, Ophelia finds herself torn between the worlds of the living and the dead. Part of her wants nothing more than to be a normal girl, but she can't ignore the call of the darkness in her bones forever. Who really was her mysterious uncle, anyway? And what is that "family business" Aunt Olive keeps talking about?

The Grunts: The perfect nuclear family that's been portrayed time and time again by sitcoms and movies alike. A General, serving his country; a wife, who tends the house and takes care of the kids; and three boys who have somehow gotten tangled up as the main suspects in a string of disappearances. Will the ghosts of their pasts haunt the Grunts forever, or will they find a way to convince the world of their innocence?

If y'all have any ideas/thoughts please please lemme hear em 👂👂

Strangetown 30 Years in the past CC free

Hello and Sul Sul

I made a version of Strangetown set 30 Years in the Past! So you can Play Characters like Vidcun Curious or Olive Specter in they Child and Teenhood. All the important Families, even the once you can't play in the originals like the Vandermorgans and the Nigmos are here.

Get PreStrangeown on MediaFire ore SFS

How was it made?

Characters like the Curious Siblings have been extracted from the original game, imported into Body Shop and aged down there, so they all should grow up to look like they Strangetown Counterparts.  Characters you can only find in the Family tree have been build in Body shop to look as close as possible, since many of them have broken Templates in the original.

All Child and Teen Characters have dominant and recessive Genes matching they parent. So Vidcund could get a Child with black hair ore Pascal could get one with blond hair

The Families included are:

The Nigmos

The Muenda

The Curious

The Grunts

The Beakers

The Salamis

The Vandermorgans

The Lostes

There are also a pool of Original Townies, wich include all of Olives later Victims, so you can play out how they ended in her Backyard

Strangetown has 4 Community Lots. One Library with all the Hobby Items, a Swimming Pool, the local Waterhole and a big Mall that has everything from a Fashion Store, a Pet Store, a Restaurant and much more.

All Sims have a Family bio and a personal one, giving you possible Gameplay Ideas!

This World is CC free, checked by the Hood Checker and (almost) unplayed. The only thing I did was move everybody in. Everything else was done in SimPe. All Universal NPCs are untouched and unchanged. So there should be no hood corruption, or absolutely no danger for other Hoods. There is a Grim Reaper Townie, but it's just a normal Human Townie in a costume! Nothing that affects the true Grim Reaper

Beside the Townies I created there are no other ones, no Pleasentview defaults and no strays! If you want to keep it that way, you will possibly need a mod like notownieregen.

The Sims in the Screenshots have this Skin default, it's not needed, I just find it adds a nice Variety

I also apologize for any spelling mistakes, since English isn't my first language.

If you play my neighborhood, I would love to see screenshots ore hear stories about what happened in your game!

[tank-grunt]

my, uh, strangetown sim ethnicity headcanons (using real world location names and not the sims world equivalents)

the beakers and halfdanarsons are white. specifically the beakers were swedish, while leif was danish and ingibjorg was icelandic. the salamis were greek with arabic ancestry. the mcgorks were irish, moira was white while gwrtheyrn was black.

the muendas were meru kenyans who immigrated to simerica and the specter family is moroccan. since i prefer the name "ophelia specter" i like to reinterpret the nigmos family as specters and ichabod's family, making them also moroccan.

the grunts are latine - rock and wanda were mestizo colombians. family name was originally guerra, changed to grunt when they immigrated to america. mary melons was white and descended from french immigrants, but had no personal ties to france.

mike steel was a white latino mexican american. he had a white dad and a mexican mom. that ones based on me thinking donnovan steel and marisol loera were his parents until i realized they were contemporary with darren dreamer, lol! oopsies!

the curious & wheloff families are black americans - they don't really have any known ties to any other location besides the simericas - and hamm hogleg was a moapa native american, while his wife annie was white (hence 2 of their 4 grandkids being white passing in a vanilla game)

glarn's ex-wife glabe, on the other hand, was filipina.

the loners and frehndlys being indian is just canon. i dont have headcanons that elaborate on this further, though.

the loste family were originally from seychelles, or the sims equivalent, thus creole with largely east african and indian heritage. the simnitch family were slavic diaspora americans.

crystal vu is vietnamese american. bleaches her hair blonde but naturally has black hair. and dr. vu is her dad and also vietnamese.

blair mace is mixed race japanese american. dad (larry mace) is white american, and his mom (mystery) was japanese american.

[harmonyckrs]

Some Specter Family Headcanons (mainly Olive bc she's one of my faves)

The Muenda family was an upper class household, and Olive was supposed to be the heir to the family due to being the older one. Her parents considered giving the title of heir to Willow instead due to Willow being more sociable, but Olive found out and got them killed for it

Everyone in the family is really tall. Ophelia is the shortest out of them all, but is still tall compared to other people in Strangetown

Willow was never aware that Olive was behind their parents' murder until Olive was trying to kill her and Creon. Due to Willow not updating her will in time, Olive got custody of Ophelia

Olive sets up her house in a way that makes almost everything a hazard that could lead to death. This is how she was able to get away with murder, as most people viewed her as a scatterbrained woman who's accident-prone and lucky

Olive has attempted to kill Ophelia a couple of times but Ophelia is usually smart/observant enough to notice the traps Olive sets up and is able to avoid them. Once she turned eighteen she immediately moved in with Johnny and never looked back

Olive's motives for killing people involves wanting to see the Grim Reaper as well as having a very twisted sense of justice. Each person in the garden has "wronged her" in some way, with the exception of Ichabod who died normally

The service workers usually made some kind of quip that Olive interpreted as an insult or were slightly rude towards her due other circumstances, like them being tired

Olive met all of her previous lovers through the parties she attended. She became jaded after Earl E. DeMise but started getting over it once she got to Ichabod

Olive never cared for Hugh Thanasia or Rigger Mortis and mainly just married them for the sake of having a husband and so she could eventually sacrifice them to see the Grim Reaper

On Halloween, Olive turns off all of her lights and leaves a bowl of candy in front of her gate. Nervous also does this during the period of time when he lived alone

There's various trinkets buried in the garden that is associated with different victims. Olive also makes everyone's tombstones herself and has a special talent in making sculptures

Nervous has a random assortment of skills/knowledge and secretly has dark powers as a result of being the son of the Grim

Olive and Nervous aren't really close as Olive doesn't approve of anyone that Nervous chooses to date and usually makes passive aggressive remarks towards them, which is noticeable by both Nervous and whoever his partner is

Didn't feel like making a Mii for Ophelia lol sorry. I don't have any particuarly strong headcanons for her at all. I think she's either straight or bi

[beikonsims]

The boys threw a little house party and invited a few people over. Despite her advanced pregnancy, Kaylynn also showed up to see Blake's new place and make sure he's alright in the city. He was just intrigued by the concept of life.

Blake: How do I grow my own like that?

Olive: Are you two the ones occupying the Espiritu Estate? I will have you know this was once one of the plots owned by the Muenda family and I don't appreciate stragglers around the premises.

Faith: Woman, that house was empty and dusty when I bought it fair and square for like a 1,000§ and a pack of gums.

Lazlo: Wasn't the place like haunted, too? I remember seeing the Dame in Red in the window a few times back in the day.

Faith: Yeah, we're cleansing the place from bad spirits or whatever.

[ladylauviah-blog]

25th round...

...has finally ended. I have too many of everything, so recap:

Families: 71 Asylum: 1 Sims in college: 8 Sims in general (with townies and pets): 602 - round has ended with a few pregnancies...

Pleasantview: All sims that should be born - were born. Beginning of Pleasantview oficially has ended - now sims like Alexander Goth are starting their own families.

Strangetown: 2nd generation is slowly starting to start their own families, some well known sims were born, for example: Buzz Grunt or Beaker siblings. Also, Olive Muenda-someday-to-be-Specter grew up to be a teen ;)

Veronaville: 2nd generation - greatgrandparents of Juliette and Romeo are teens now. Random gender preference also trolled me hard in this hood, so there will be something else haha.

[jawusa]

What do you think the deal is with Noela and Planchette? How are they related to Olive?

Hi there, I'm so sorry for the late reply! I was busy with university and didn't see this.

Noela Specter and Planchette Specter are both recreated sims from TS3, Lunar Lakes and Oasis Landing, respectively... along Mathilde Goth, Ceres Beaker and Atom Beaker, who are also from TS3.

I personally think they are not that far... since Mathilde Goth is supposed to be the daughter of Bella Goth, and Ceres and Atom the children of Loki and Circe Beaker... so Noela and Planchette could technically be the children of Nervous Subject as well... but could also be the nephew or niece of Ichabod Specter, respectively.

I think they are just distant decendants of Ichabod Specter... since Olive is actually a Muenda.. so any distant cousins/descendants would have Muenda as their last name, right?... unless Nervous Subject found out about his family and decided to change his last name to be a Specter and later had descendants as well.. but much like in TS3, it's actually up to the player to decide which path. ;)

I've written a small story on how the two, along Mathilde Goth, came to Aileen Landing, as well as a few other storylines to introduce into the neighborhood lol. You can read it here. <3

[edmunderson]

i've been redoing the specter family manor as the muenda family manor. here's olive and willow's side of the home

[readingsims]

The Fire:  New House

*Gemma Charm came to visit the Muenda family. The Muenda family were highly known for witch craft over the years causing many members to die of being accused of witchcraft. Causing alot of members to be murdered and killed off even passed the witch trial era. They’re part of magical history because there family getting butchered for years caused the government law to change. It’s now illegal to kill another magic person on a trail of witch craft. This causing a whole new generation of witches to come out without fear. This causing them to be on of the richest family of the magic realm.* Gemma:  “Hi” Creon:    “Hi, do you live in the area” Gemma:  “Yeah.”              *Gemma lied* Creon:     “It’s nice meeting you we just moved into the area.” Gemma: “That’s great.”    *Gemma pretended to be excited, hoping to get closer to the family wealth some how*

*Gemma looks around the house realizing it’s not structed properly some rooms you can see inside of by accident.* Gemma:  *Thought to her self*    “There’s no way I can get any of the money with these insane elderly walking around naked.” *Being a Caster gives Gemma the ability to set anything on fire, she sets a small fire in front of the door where Mr. & Mrs. Muenda were settled in*

Ms. Muenda:    “The doors on fire, how could there be a fire? We just moved in.” *She said nervously hoping to get out* Ms. Muenda:      “Did you start this fire! I always knew staying with your senile ass would get be killed! I should of divorced you after you lost your memory!” *Mr. Muenda staying silent about the situation watching his wife panic*

*The fire starts to spread though out the house to the front blocking the entrance. Willow burned from the fire almost not being able to make it out. Olive grabs Ophelia pushing her out the window. Creon was outside already.*

*The rest of the family watches from a safe distance not able to stop the fire while waiting for the fire department* Creon:   “The fire department still isn’t here!”        *Said worried about his in laws* Olive:  “No but, the grim reaper is here. I hope the fire goes out so I can talk to him for a little while”                  *Olive said while thinking about the grim reaper*  Willow:   “Olive our parents are dying!”

*Ms. Muenda screams in horror as the fire spreads, eventually caughting to her sleeve. Mr. Muenda dying slowly from smoke inhalation passing out heading his head on the bathroom sink.* *Gemma listening to the sounds of her screams haunting her for the rest of the days. Death waiting for Ms. Muenda to die* Death:      “Holy Fucking Cow Plant! What type of sick fuck kills a sim this way!” “They didn’t even die slowly!” 

*Gemma rethinking her plan but, knowing after this there’s no going back. She’s getting that money one way or another. *

Guys, Nervous is a family sim and that makes my heart HURT here’s a (very young) version of his family in my sims 4 save file from when Tycho and Venus were toddlers

I’ll have to do something to include Andromeda in the family photos as well… when she gets here at least.

[grimbunnies]

Aaron: “It says you’re local to Sedona? My house is a bit messy, and, keeping up with twins, I haven’t had time to pick things up. It’s not too bad around here, but... That sounds like a fair rate.”

[gutosimmer]

OOF! I guess that casual WooHoo had results...

Welcome to the Neighborhood, Fredrick Specter!
