A small update, with some older material. Currently working on Olive's graveyard ghosts, so her lot is properly haunted, but progress is slow, lots of other things in life taking up my time.

Nervous and his father, this is the same Nervous from Midnight Hollow, just aged up.

Hugh and Lou Thanasia, Hugh is from Midnight Hollow and properly humanised, along with his outfits matching his Sims 2 counterpart. Lou had his character data deleted in Sims 2, so all I had to go on was his mugshot. His grave is now present in her graveyard, in the same spot as the development photo of Olive's graveyard a simguru posted. Knut Futa is also present.

I edited one of the aliens in the town into Sims 2's Pollination Technician. Due to the nature of Sims 3, he is best added by replacing the body of an exisiting alien in the neighbourhood; Mods seem unable to assign sims to the hidden alien household that governs all the abductions and alien visitors. He will be used to father Tycho Curious once I finish Pascal :p

Chloe Curious and Erin Beaker chatting outside the Curious home. Erin is her Aurora Skies official appearance, aged up. I only need to make Kristen Loste's family tree and edit the half-alien twins faces a bit, then Singles family is done

And here is Ajay Loner. His family tree is also in need of construction.
The Curious family has a full family tree now, and all that needs to be done is tweaking the Curios bro's faces and making baby Tycho. Since Tycho is the canon name, and he is born very quickly after the family is first played, not the mention the nightmare of packaging pregnant sims at proper times and so on, im going to include him as a newborn, premade with a blend of Pascal and the Pollination Technician's DNA, with 50% alien DNA (Sims 3's alien babies are 100% alien DNA and seem to not take DNA from the sim that births them)
The Smith family is in the final stages of completion
The Beaker family needs the most work; Circe does not exist yet, the house needs to be finished and furnished, and the family trees of Loki and Circe need to be made (Fortunately, Gundrun and Bjorn exist in Sims 3, so im partway done already)
The Spectre family is only needing the finished graveyard, as the home, Olive and Ophelia are pretty much perfectly done. Zog and Hecate Nigmos, the parents of Creon Nigmos, did not have tombstones in Olive's garden in Sims 2 at any point of sims 2 development, so I will not place their graves there; they will be in a chest placed on the lot for players to place as they see fit. Also, Lyla Grunt will not be in the graveyard, due to family tree reasons with the Grunt family, but her grave WILL be present with a lightning tomb to identify where it is, if players place both the Grunt and Spectre family in the same world, they can place her grave in the correct spot.
The Grunt family I have yet to even touch, as not a single member of their family ever existed in Sims 3 as a starting point; their home IS done however. Its going to be strange making them, as the top Military rank is an...astronaut?, and Tank cannot get a military job in this one till hes a young adult.

And now a small look at my University work, which differs by being less accurate due to everything having to be adapted to fit into Sims University, on the premise of all the students transferring to a new university.

Here are all 5 student bin sims from Sim State University, they are finished and uploaded to my gallery in multiple forms.

The big dorm from SSU is present and adapted to fit Sims University's style. It now has a carpark and the bottom floor is adapted to convert the extra dorm rooms into activity rooms for the various groups. Since there is a hard cap of 8 residents in a dorm, extra rooms beyond 8 were wasted visual fluff. now the top floor has 8 dorm rooms, and the ninth is the laundry room.

A small look at the everyday life of the dorms when in Sims 3's engine, with familiar characters. I quite enjoy how much richer the world feels, and seeing the inactive Sims 2 Uni sims wandering about the world.

Delilah O'Feefe looks much less dorky in Sims 3. Her small home now has a driveway and a small building out back for her art, and she of course, has a nice yellow car to drive now.
