Sims 2: Strangetown - lots and sims rebuilt for Sims 3

The Beaker Family

What experiments are the highly secretive and less than neighborly Loki and Circe Beaker performing on poor Nervous Subject? Will this secrecy affect Circe's career ambitions?

One of the many interesting families of Strangetown, the Beakers have appeared in Sims 2, 3, 4 and the PSP offshoot. The rival science family to the Curious family, the Beakers are the 'bad' scientists, bordering on evil and mad science. Loki is an aged up version of his official Aurora Skies appearance, and his parents from that world are included as ghosts. Loki and Circe's complete family tree is included, as usual. Nervous Subject is directly lifted from Midnight Hollow and aged up.

As soon as he perfects his latest invention, Loki is sure to get the recognition he knows he deserves. In the meantime, he keeps himself busy by trying to assemble a nuclear reactor out of common household items.

Loki is generally who you think of when you think of 'Mad Sims Scientist'. His trademark facial hair isn't in Sims 2, so he has the facial hair his son from Into the Future has. It fits perfectly. He still has the 10 points of Writing from Aurora Skies, and his Cleaning skill points were converted to the Science skill from University. As he started out as an Inventor in Sims 2, he can pursue the Inventing skill in Sims 3.

Circe knows 238 different ways to make someone scream, and none of them are nice. She enjoys taxidermy and collecting coat hangers.
One of the most unpleasant sims from the Sims 2 saga as a whole, Circe is truly fitting as a wife for Loki. Easily a poster-child for the Mean-Spirited trait. Vidcund used to be her boyfriend, and Pascal tried the moves on her, and this is widely believed to be one of the reasons that Pascal and Vidcund are feuding with Loki. She has her outfit from Sims 2 PSP set as Everyday 2.

His hobbies include twitching and blinking a lot.
Alas, poor Nervous, the quintessential depiction of the Loser trait. We have never learned his first name, despite him appearing in four different games. As the sole living son of the Grim Reaper himself, you'd think he'd have had a more interesting an influential life, but instead it is a trainwreck from birth to death. Neglected by Olive, he was taken away, and found himself living with the Beakers, who used him as a science experiment until their experiments eventually kill him. His one source of happiness was Annie Howell, an ill-fated romance. By the time Sims 2 starts, his personality and psyche has been extremely damaged; he has 10 active points and no points in other areas, and you can see his original personality behind it. Thus this version has awful traits to reflect that.

Tesla Court - Inherited by Loki, this large desert home has enough room for all manners of secret scientific experimentation. Even includes a basement to watch test subjects!
I envision this home as Loki's inherited home, and the home they live in in Sims 2 PSP as Circe's inherited home. Recreating that outer stairway was a real pain! I replaced all the open air archways with glass doors, because Sims 2 and 3 are rife with burglaries and it also makes SENSE to seal off your home from the elements. Especially in the desert!

Nervous Subject's 'pit room', where his overlords watch over him and what he does from above. Was tempted to convert this to a true basement, but it just doesn't work as well for this application.

The 'Science Room' around Nervous's living space. LOTS of things needed to be replaced here. The SimVac is now a flying vacuum, the medical operation training dummy is an Inventing table, the medicine maker is a Science station, the energiser is now a potion maker, and the lie finder is now the brain scanner from Uni. Theres also a cabinet to hold bug specimens, and some gem/metal specimen holders. Nervous's experimental bike is also stored here.

The dining, kitchen and living areas. Not too many changes, outside of stuff like recycling bins.

...basically Nervous's bathroom. In both Sims 2 and 3, he regularly destroyed the area with his Slob trait

Clearly this was Erin's old room, before she left the house of madness.

Loki and Circe's bedroom area, with the sideroom. There should technically be a computer in there, but I didn't add one as the original lot doesn't have one.

The top floor empty room is now a laundry room.
