Maxis Sim Makeover: Goth Family 2022
Added 2022-06-02 13:11:10 +0000 UTCThis will mark the third and hopefully last time I overhaul this Maxis family. I had started doing some overhauls to my versions of Bella and Cassandra about half a year ago, but mostly left them to stew rather than prioritize completing them. But now, with the maxis rework of the base game family having been released, it seemed appropriate to finalize my own changes.
The big change I made here, and started back when I began overhauling my Cassandra, was undoing my previous characterization of her and reverting her more towards her vanilla portrayal. Specifically here intended to be as a college student, who'd probably study some scientific subject judging by her career in Sims 2.
Mortimer is much as he used to be in my previous versions, drawing mostly from Sims 2 and his story there which revovled around having an affair with Dina Caliente while being married to Bella Goth, who seemingly married him for money. He's got several high skills reflecting his earlier careers of a scientist and writer, but is currently a stockbroker in the business career. He's got a biology degree from UBrite and has the Sugar Daddy custom trait by Ksuihuh.
Bella here is characterized by her enduring popularity as a sims character and her characterization as being a this beautiful gold-digger, at least part of the time when she isn't kidnapped by aliens or whatever it was that happened. Hence she is a level 2 celebrity, has the Unique Appearance, Beguiling and Great Kisser reward traits and now also the Pretty Girl custom trait. Having married Mortimer for his money, she's got the Sugar Saby as well as the Lavish custom traits and doesn't work.
While Bella is set up as Alexander's mom, she is not set as Cassandra's mom. In this version of the family I have constructed, Bella isn't that much older than Cassandra (30 vs 18) to be her biological mom. Cassandra then would be Mortimer's daughter from some previous unspecified relationship.

Alternatively, you could ( & this would not necessarily be a perfect set up mind you) use the MCCC mod to copy and paste a Sim from the Tray complete w/ personality. Granted your mileage may vary on use of MCCC utilities.

2022-06-02 15:47:35 +0000 UTCThat would add them, but you'd still need to set up relationships and such again. It'd essentially just be like adding any new household to a save file, how much they will be integrated into the save in terms of relationships and all that is up to you.
