Kaylynn Langerak theories?

I think as they said they couldn't remember the stories and backgrounds so therefore they didn't give it a whole lot of thought.

They simply screwed up and that's all. They also screwed-up the Capp household (where is Cordelia?). Maybe because 'only 10% of the players care about lore, so we put zero effort into that'

The Sims 3 is supposed to be a prequel to Sims 2. A bit of a poor decision by EA, but they're known for that kind of thing. It's kind of ridiculous since TS2 is apparently supposed to be about 50 years after Sims 3, which would make Kaylynn somewhere around about ... 60+ if she were the real thing?

I do wish they had tried to keep to a much better timeline than what they did. But they seem to be of the idea that whatever they can't explain away, they just throw into an alternate timeline or universe and call everything good to go.

Fair point! How about... the secret plants of aunt Zelda's secret garden's scent was so strong it put her to sleep for 30 years when she tried to clean it; 30 years during which she dreamt of rainbows, unicorns, and unicorns galloping on rainbows o:)

Now E.A... Where is Cordelia? :/

Guys, did you even read theory 4? I said it was likely Maxis/EA didn't care (or screwed up as you worded it). But I also said thats not fun, even if it's likely the reality of things. I like the idea of putting a spin on it to make it seem not like a "mistake".

You also asked for our opinions. :mrgreen:

I think EA tried to bring in TS2 players who weren't happy with the looks and game play idea. So, that's my opinion.

I wish we got ALL the original premade TS2 families in Sims 3, we got all three from Veronaville, everyone but the Oldies from Pleasantview, and quite noticeably missed out on the Grunt family from Strangetown, along with the Smiths (understandable, we would have only gotten the Smiths if Seasons shipped with a world). The Loner, Loste and Salamis families from Strangetown were also entirely absent.

Noone from the extra three neighbourhoods or any of the subhoods showed up, aside from a single Tricou as an easter egg.

Would have also been interesting if the Sims 1 families that didnt show up in 2 showed up in 3, but I think EA entirely forgot all about Sims 1 by then :p (Although some people insist that Ruby Broke is Ruby Hatfield from the official extra downloadable sims for Sims 1)

Well, we could have gotten a young PT9 and Jenny with a child or toddler Johnny, in a 'eternal holiday' situation like with the Capps, Burbs and Pleasants, as part of a theoretical world designed to really go nuts with the seasonal lot markers. This world could also have had Glabe Curious and the Curious-Smith twins, for a good mix of full aliens and partial aliens.

The Loste and Loner families are blank slates, yes, but not every family in Sims 3 worlds are interesting. Wouldn't have been opposed to a child/toddler Kristen and Ajay with their parents somewhere, as there's no real information on their families. Afterall, Loki Beaker in Aurora Skies is just 'there', the focus was on his parents. Ideally Aurora skies would have had the Beaker, Salamis, Grunt and Curious families, as they all existed in one grassy non-desert town at one point. Weird that they all moved out to somewhere so remote, and found each other again, kicking up old rivalries. The Curious family in Twinbrook is just TOO far back to be the only Curious family rep in 3, would have liked to have seen Glarn alive and well, as hes quite a remarkable ancestor, with the highest child count in the series and a life full of drama, with his impregnation and divorce of Glabe. He also had the potential to introduce a brother or sister that explains where Sinjin Balani fits into the family tree; hes stated to directly be a cousin of Lazlo's, and this requires Glarn to have a sibling that we'd never heard about prior. I made an 'Eva Curious' (Pun!) to link Sinjin to the Curious siblings in my Sims 2 remakes recently, but it just doesnt feel right being 'fanon', I prefer official stuff only.

Generally I think we can agree though that the Oldies, Singles and Loner families were forgotten about due to being Family Bin content; EA remade all the Strangetown premades EXCEPT for the Singles and Loner family for Sims 4. Burbs got a pass, due to being from Sims 1, at least.

Why strange? Again if we consider the whole to be canon, then Don has been sent in the past, most likely by the same person who orchestrated Bella's abduction. This way, by sending Bella in the future, THAT person, (whose name starts with a D.), makes sure that both never meet, ensuring Don dies of old age BEFORE Bella reappears, and so nobody can confirm the other's testimony. This also makes them both out of reach of Mortimer, so her little secret is safe. We can suspect Alien tech as the time traveling factor, and the item, a time-traveling wormhole generator.

Of course, you're right for architecture (to which we can add they have the very same level of tech, baring Roaring heights and Lunar lakes), but then, if we take it into account, we can't have fun throwing wild conspiracy theories :)

I meant strange as in even more, well, weird than her just getting abducted and sent there is. And I was making a bad joke about her being in Strangetown lol.

That being said a lot of people don't believe thats the real Bella. I've read a whole lot of theories about it and I don't personally like any theory that assumes Strangetown Bella is the real Bella, mostly because they're kind of dull and not that imaginative.

As for Dina being responsible, she has the most motive for sure, and she is the most likely suspect but...

A lowkey and underappreciated theory I've read is that is it was Mortimers doing, as their marriage was failing because Bella is a Romance sim. Mortimer is a knowledge sim, and they always have wishes for people they know to meet aliens anyway, and as of Freetime they can even summon aliens. He wanted to get her out of the picture for a new younger woman who (hopefully) won't cheat on him. But he's got a big storm coming.

Mortimer probably isn't the type for this but it's certainly a spicy theory, lol.

Another interesting thing to add to the Don travelling back in time is that Alexander Goth wrote Murder in Pleasantview from the base game of The Sims 3. Which begs MANY questions of what happened after The Sims 2, lol, including if said book is non-fictional.

Ho ho Mortimer!

Here's one Non-Theory: Bella never really loved him, she married him for his money. The source being Ts2 PSP, a source I can confirm, as she revealed it in my most recent run on it.

And so, the fun fact would be, following your theory, that we would see Mortimer, in the family pictures, actually waiting for Aliens to come, not Bella to come back. That's so good! Missleading the audience like that, that would be genius!

Strangetown Bella has been confirmed by the devs to be the real one. We can't go past that one unfortunately :(

Alex: HOW could he write a book who has been sold like 30 years before he was even born?
So we can theorise that it is not the same person, and that his parents red the book as kids, and liked it enough to consider calling one of their kids the same.
OR, this could be a warning from the future, BUT, Alex would therefore jeopardize his own existence. Did things became so horrible he resorted to that?

Dina: Here's a little detail that always buged me for some reason. The little pink heart with Don. One thing we know about her is that she is a loyal spouse (bad memory of Michael's death), and also that she loves Mortimer (red hearts never lie). She probably also is very aware that her sister Loves Don... so why would she accept Don's flirts?
Well what if she was the one flirting with Don just enough so she can guarantee his cooperation?
Let's also take into consideration that those two (Dina and Don) had insider informations on the Goth household. Don through Cassandra, and Dina through Michael.
Also, the telescope used by Bella isn't the right one. So this is where knowing aliens comes into play, and asking them to target the lady in red using the wrong type of telescope on a precise lot, at a precise time.
Then she gets rid of Don who knows too much, and can finish Mortimer's days in his house, with all that money!

The only theory we can rule out is a co-conspiracy between Mortimer and Dina... or can we?
What if she brought the welcome wagon cake for OTHER neighbours to see her introduce herself, and misleading them to think Mortimer and her never ever met before?

That would be the finishing touch on a mastermind conspiracy, orchestrated by a tired husband and a money hungry widow!
