The battle of Veronaville! Monty family VS Capp family


https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/sims/images/f/fb/Veronaville_story.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20090501192049

A couple of premade Sims neighborhoods have come with 2 families not getting along with eachother. The grandest example of this trope in the Sims franchise has to be the Monty-Capp feud in Veronaville: not only referencing Romeo and Juliet, but also putting in hints of other Shakespearian plays, such as Much Ado About Nothing, King Lear, The Tempest and The Taming of the Shrew.

The question now is: which of these families do you root for? The Monty's or the Capps?

  • The poll seems to be closed, but I would side with the Montys :) While I love Juliette and Hermia, I think the Montys are more well-intentioned than the Capps.
  • Monty for sure. The Capps have always been cold business career types, and the feud started with Consort breaking a promise. The Montys are pretty much italian cooks with a passion for food, the Sims 3 representation of their earlier years also shows them as much more..normal., than the Capps.

    Gameplay wise, both of them are frustrating if played default; Goneril has a family too big for any of the started homes she can afford, and the Montys in the bin have to live in the Capp side of town due to thier low funds; I always make them move into the respective sides in homes they can actually live in.

    Im currently recreating Sims 2 characters and lots in Sims 3, and im dreading all of Veronaville; the family tree is so vast, i'll be making dead ancestors for days!
  • My favourite of the two is actually the Capp family, because I like its varieties and its many "evil" sims. :D Which is why I voted for the Montys. They seem like better people in general. :P
