Not popular npcs like mrs crumplebottom, but like the neighboorhood people. Apparently these are the Pleasantview townies now that ive looked it up. I usually only play my custom neighboorhoods so I thought they were the default.Did anyone's personality seem interesting to you?Goopy, benjamin, meadow, andrea etchttps://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/sims/images/5/5e/Goopy_GilsCarbo_%28Pleasantview%29.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/340?cb=20140524071723https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/sims/images/1/1e/Meadow_Thayer.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/340?cb=20090521035443https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/sims/images/a/ad/Andrea_Hogan.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/340?cb=20090522032628https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/sims/images/c/cf/Komei_Tellerman.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/340?cb=20090522184824Benjamin Long and Brandon Lillards are both nutjobs in my games, they always causing drama. Komei is boring so he or Joe Carr is usually my "punching bag" when I want to test out something evil. Meadow is a sweetheart and in one save I had her marry one of my fav sims, went to college and had a cute daughter named Doe. One other of my sims married Niel LeTourneau, he is a sweetheart. He is a firefighter and he stopped one of the fires she had started in her dorm kitchen fire at college. Ok this makes me want to play again :) I love all the storylines i had!

Hi :)Lol! I'm the opposite. :lol:I like Komei but dislike Benjamin and Goopy. I'm playing a Townie vs NPC Legacy. To see which ones do better. I think the NPCs will win. They'll have something to accomplish each generation (I haven't figured that out yet but I always seem to restart my neighborhoods when they get going well :( ). They'll have to win while I have to fulfill their wishes. That way I can't just do the same thing. I'm going to check out a lot of ROS (Random Occurrence Scenario) and put the good ones in a jar to randomly pull out each Generation/Week/Day, depending.

Goopy is famous enough that he features in Sims 2 PS2, Sims 3 Monte Vista, and has a exwife and daughter in Barnacle Bay. Kind of amazed he isnt in Sims 4 yet. Sims 2 PSP probably has the best townies; they all have the most bizarre backstories and quirks, truly fitting Strangetown. I need to create them in the PC version some day. One of them is, for example, dedicated to sabotaging everything Lazlo Curious does in life.I have never played the premade neighbourhoods long enough to get to know their townies, but im well aquainted with the Pleasantview townies (due to custom neighbourhood syndrome), Downtownies, and all the subhood townies.

I don't like to play with them because I don't have the control over them. I do remember that Benjamin Long was my husband the very first time I played the Sims 2 (my Sim self). We had lots of babies haha and I think I cried when they died of old age. So Benjamin has a special place in my heart.

This is one of the reasons why Goopy is so famous; he was EVERYWHERE in people's games, unless they played in Strangetown or Veronaville. And with that weird clothing of his, and that name, he stood out amongst all the other townies.He has a complex history now for a townie; he was born in Monte Vista, lived with his parents there for some time, later in life he lived in Tranquility Falls with Chantal Leer, Larry Liu and Candi Cupp, then switched aspirations from Knowledge to Romance and moved to Pleasantview and other towns, eventually marrying a woman named Alice and having a child, Celeste, with her, before divorcing (probably due to that Romance aspiration) and leaving for some other town. Maybe in Barnacle Bay's timeline hes still welcoming new residents to Pleasantview.

It was always easier for me to make friends with Benjamin than it was with Goopy. But Goopy makes a great manager for my Sims to hire and train but he can turn his back on a Sim and not want to talk and or be grumpy to them. I really dislike some of the female townies. Such as Marisa, Meadow, that teen that robs houses, can't think of her name, and any of them that find out later they are sort of lazy and sloppy and they do that slumping stance (a lot of the female townies do that because they are lazier not just sloppier) with slumped shoulders etc. Komi is easier to befriend. But yeah, Goopy, Benjamin and a few others get into fights in my game, lol, and I never know why. The base game generates these townies in all Maxis hoods. They are part of the program files (Character files) built into the base. Empty template hoods don't contain these base game townies, the game can't generate them. Every EP adds it's own Character file inside the program files to generate. With AL the base game townies sort of get replaced with the AL townies. I especially can't stand the AL townies and prefer the base game townies to show up in all the main Maxis hoods. But I also have them in some custom hoods if I'm not playing a particular era of time. You can see all the character files with the SimsPk2 cleaner thingy.

What did you do with your townies? Are there any you especially like or dislike?

I didn't know that about Goopy!

these are the custom neighborhood townies, I guess by default they are the plesantview ones, too.

I pretty much like the Aspir family. I give them them the second child they want and try to help the grandpa to fulfill their wants with help from the magical lamp on his attic. ? They're also friends with my sims.

I like the families from seasons too. Specially the plant family. I love Rose and Daisy. I also like the three old ladies that were friends and living with each other. I can't remember the name of the family. I usually make them take care of the grandson of their friend that passed away and make sure they sent him to collage. Oh, and the McGregor scottish farmer. I downloaded some cc and gave him a goat ? I'm currently trying to find him a wife. lol

Those are residents, not townies. Townies are the homeless non-playable people that walk by your house or populate the community lots.

Some others that are good marriage bait: Celeste Rossi - the mail lady, Christi Inada - in a brown suit, there's a blonde whose name changes depending on neighborhood/world played - not much to look at but a real sweetie in terms of personality. Something that's odd is that the townies in the oriental and south seas vacation worlds often have European looks and names, while townies in the home worlds often have oriental names and appearance. Very odd.

The last time I played I decided all the teens and kids in the town I was playing in would have to grow up with my Sim kids and teens. So, I did have several families with kids in them and when they reached their birthdays I aged up three at a time per household and per kid. I really love that feature and hadn't used it in a very long time since not many in the stories I had been playing contained that many kids to be able to age up townie kids/teens. I used to just use the Simmoder baby to do it as I saw fit, but this time I decided they all would grow up and I would sell them new outfits at my Sim store. lol

My Belladonna Cove Sims tend to have a little grudge with any townies and apartment social group townies with the last name Cleveland. I tend to picture the game generated Clevelands as this weird offshoot, just as problematic bunch, usually there's fights, more often than not, those townies get into fights with other townies (totally not influencing them to brawl.)

Most of the time though, I let the townies be, they don't really get involved in my neighbourhoods unless they're something more specific like a vampire or witch, though there's one downtownie with the blond hair and flat cap who often ends up moving in with one of the Sims in my neighbourhood.
