🏜️ Nighthowl Saloon 🥃

This is my version of the Nighthowl Saloon from The Sims 2 PSP. I'm not going for a strict recreation, so I've changed a few things to suit my taste.

Thanks to @chrisnewbie, who recreated the PSP Strangetown as a playable hood. I'm also (slowly) redecorating all the other lots and sims in my (non-Maxis match) style.

Annie Howell - The Sims 2 (PSP)

I finally got around to play this dorky obscure game and LORD I’m in love. It also got me out of my bi-monthly art block, which is neat.

I aced my state exams by the way!

As a (temporary) conclusion to my Watcher-adjacent art era (that is, until someone does something that puts me right back on my bullshit), I find it funny that PSP's storyline is so reliant on implications, standing on he-said-she-said stilts and running on rumor mill power.

By the end, except for the events you've witnessed with your own two eyes, you still can't really be objective about who's responsible for which piece of nonsense you had to sort out. Which ones were Doc, pushing and prodding at every boundary he could find? Which ones were the Watcher before you, cultivating some classic Watcher-style neighborhood drama? I could start making cases for either. I have bones to pick with both. No car and the messiest second-hand save.

How much of the info you've extracted from these people is genuine, who's fed you a nothingburger, and who's straight-up lied? You certainly know more about Nervous's predicament than Emily does. "I blacked out" is such a universal excuse. Annie doesn't even share her dark secret, she just stands there looking scary. And I respect her for that, because damn, they all yap.

In other words, I just appreciate that we can attach any headcanon and backstory to this narrative machine and it'll still give us a smooth run. May Dominic's growing ship record be evidence for that.

Not in a single version of himself he gets to be happy

I did this for my art project, if you'd like to see each Nervling separately in more quality and without the special effects I'll gladly upload them!

The order of the Nerves in the drawing is this:

1- Playable Nervous (TS2)

2- Nyon Specter (TS4)

3- EA Recreation (TS4)

4- Hidden Nervous (TS2)

5- Ghost Nervous (TS2 PSP)

6- Kid Nervous (TS3)

“Hey, don’t cry. You’re gonna mess up your cool eyeliner,” Ripp said.

Ophelia laughed and wiped her cheek with the back of her hand.

“I can’t believe it’s really you,” Ripp continued. “For a second I thought I hallucinated you. I’m still considering the possibility.”

Ophelia smiled at him and replied, “No, it’s me. It’s really me.”

“Dude, where the hell have you been?! I was crazy-worried about you.”

“Things got bad at home with Olive. Like, really bad. Like, I’m-gonna-die bad. I’m so sorry, Ripp. I had to disappear,” she explained.

“As bad as it sounds, I’m relieved to hear that. I was scared that maybe they got you too.”

“What? Who?”

“Division 47. You know, the military. For being involved with Johnny or something. Kinda like what happened to Jenny?”

“What?”

Ripp squinted his eyes at her, realizing that the two of them had a lot of catching up to do. “Hm…yeah. I guess all of that happened after you went poof.”

“What are you talking about? Ripp, do you know where Johnny is?” Ophelia asked.

“All right, O. We should sit down.”

The Sims 2 PSP Cut Content: Part 1

I had been looking for the best way to implement this info on the Sims Wiki (but these are cut Sims, so there's not really a place for them? Or maybe someone else can do it). I've also been working on some videos talking about them. (I love watching these types of videos and prefer that visual format) but at this rate who knows when I'll finish it. So here we go! If you love Strangetown and crave any ounce of lore that you can get like me, here's a few townies. They even have their own secrets! Please read p6tgel's post to get all the info about the cut character TA7, everything I know about him is over there, so I don't have anything to add here. All I'm going to say is... I remember wanting to find out so badly who Mister Smith's friend was after playing The Sims 2 PSP for the first time. I'm so glad they actually did add more to the story. Learning more about the alien society and getting another title (like Pollination Technicians) just makes me want a Sixam neighborhood even more lol go read about it!!

Missing Kine Society Cult Members

Tunak Tun

Tunak is the only cut character that I could find photo evidence of in an old screenshot. He is a cut Kine Leader (like Sara Starr), as seen in his brown robe talking to Bull Dratch. The schedule file for the Kine Dairy indicates that Tunak would have spawned only during the day.

Unfortunately, it's a view of his back, but his character file confirms this appearance. (just want to say... the details on the Kine robes are actually beautiful. The crunched down quality we got in the final release makes them look like rags) Gender: 0 = female, 1 = male. The eye color is only specified if they're not the default brown. (I'll be using the Sims 2 PC to recreate them, as it shares a lot of assets with the PSP version)

Tunak Tun's Details

Bio: "A member of the Kine Society." social = 7, intimidation = 1, personality = 1, His social and intimidation scores are on the lower end for Deadtree locals, so social games aren't as difficult. He has the Air personality type. His topic sets (interests) are cow, cow milk, cow bell, cow beast, full moon, and crystal ball. A visual of these:

Tunak Tun's Secrets

 (Personal): "Has been known to sneak in a burger or two on the sly."

 (Intimate): "Likes to wear loose robes for that 'fresh and ventilated' feeling."

 (Dark): "He actually just made up his other two Secrets. He's a pathological liar."

According to the game code, Tunak Tun would also count towards the goal to "Earn the Trust of a Kine Leader [Relationship 4]", just like Sara Starr and Sinjin Balani.

Zen Mu

Zen Mu is regular Kine Society member that wears a white robe. The schedule file for the Kine Dairy indicates that Zen would have spawned only during the night.

I went through every face template available in the Sims 2 PSP CAS and I can't find Zen Mu's (might be hidden like some hairs/clothes are) and I don't see the stubble hair in the PC version.

Zen Mu's Details

Bio: "A member of the Kine Society." social = 7, intimidation = 1, personality = 2, Their social and intimidation scores are on the lower end for Deadtree locals, so social games aren't as difficult. They have the Water personality type. Their topic sets (interests) are cow, cow milk, cow bell, and cow beast. A visual of these:

Zen Mu's Secrets

 (Personal): "Severe lactose intolerance has made her unpopular in the Kine Society."

 (Intimate): "She is deathly afraid of cows, but don't let the cows find out … they thrive on fear."

 (Dark): "When she meditates, her power animal is a horse … the highest form of Kine blasphemy."

Interestingly, Zen Mu's gender and character model is male, but all 3 of Zen's secrets uses she/her pronouns. Small fun fact - Personal Kine robe for the player: It looks like we would have received our own kine robe at one point, probably after passing inspection, according to the item list file (item 72). Now, we can just go to a wardrobe and buy a robe ourselves.

Extra fun fact that I randomly like to talk about on my twitch streams, but I don't remember if I've said it over here? These two award winning cows were actually given names by the devs in the Kine Dairy level spawning file. Bessie and Gertie! <3
