The Monty Family

Patrizio Monty never forgot Consort Capp's broken promise. But now his grandson Romeo has fallen for the Capp heiress. Will the Elders live to see the two families united?

Through his hard work, Patrizio has become the don of llama ranching, but will his grudge against Consort Capp prevent him from enjoying his legacy?

Patrizio is the very same Patrizio from Monte Vista, aged to elder and dressed appropriately. I believe I added some slight changes to make him look grumpier though. due to the family feud and the deaths of his dearest son, and two of his son's wives (one of whom was pregnant), Patrizio is now a bitter grumpy old man, locked in his feud with Consort and most of the Capp family. This is shown in his traits; he has a sixth social trait, Mean-Spirited, to show his change. His career history shows his past career as a doctor (I have no idea why EA made him a doctor in Monte Vista, it didn't fit his history at ALL), and he is retired as a Five-Star Chef. He inherits his skill points from Sims 3 and from the PS2 version of Sims 2, and he has an Everyday 2 outfit that matches his PS2 incarnation.

Isabella's culinary talents have long been the cornerstone of the Monty clan, but will her secret recipe for the perfect baked Alaska heal old family wounds?

Isabella is also the very same official EA sim from Monte Vista, aged up. She had a lot more skills than Patrizio to inherit from Sims 3, so she starts off a lot better. She has developed the Grumpy social trait due to the feud. She too, has an Everyday 2 outfit that is based on her PS2 appearance.

Good-natured and warm, Mercutio is the joker of his family. Can his good humor smooth the feuding family's ruffled feathers?

Mercutio is made from scratch. He, like his brother, required quite a few store items, due to his rebel outfit. He comes with level 2 in Driving, so he wont take long to get to use car; I give every sim a car, even the teenagers, just to curb the game's tendency to buy new cars for inactives constantly. He and Romeo have jobs in the grocery store, as part-time careers are very different in Sims 3. I did make a custom career outfit for him that matched the Sims 2 one, but I believe it wont transfer over to a fresh placement, sorry.

Naturally charismatic and handsome, Romeo's on his way to becoming quite the heartbreaker. Will he meet his match in Juliette?

I had a bunch of problems trying to get Romeo looking right. He has a distinct look with sharp large eyebrows and a permanent smug look. Plus, his beanie and his beanieless look in TS2 I had to try to get right. His shirt is store content, but it might be one of the free packs, I dont remember. Wasn't many options there :p. His starting school grade is B, but all sims freshly placed in a wrold defualt to C, no matter the packaged settings, so you'll need to set a grade of B yourself, but it doesnt really matter all too much.

Claudio's determined to make his parents proud with his lovely wife and wonderful children. But will he be able to reconcile his son's romance with his family's sworn enemy?

Claudio is present on the lot in the right spot, and he is the same unborn sim from Monte Vista, a natural blend of Patrizio and Isabella's genetics, with his looks customised to resemble Sims 2 Claudio. He even has the same skills, and his official bio from Sims 2 that you'd never see, is used. Due to Sims 3 making all Starvation ghosts thin, his fatness from 2 is not present.

While Olivia loves her children and always wanted a big family, will her next birth push her over the edge?

Olivia Monty was infamous in Sims 2, as she mysteriously died of starvation alongside her husband, while pregnant. The pregnancy wasnt properly set, and its impossible to actually die of starvation while pregnant, but for storytelling reasons, this is what canonically happened. She is made from scratch, and her whole family tree is present. I plan to make a past version of the Dottore family to place in Monte Vista, so that baby Claudio can one day meet baby Olivia and make history. At least, up until their tragic end.

The Monty Ranch, mostly the same, but with Sims 3 having pretty much no cacti, I replaced the cactus beds with clovers. I also added an electrical box and a dirt path to the ranch's top floor. The garden is left empty intentionally, so that Patrizio and Isabella plant some fruits and vegetables there for their culinary creations.

Due to game engine differences, the chess table could no longer fit in the 3x3 room it was in, so ive moved it up here.
The staircase is visibly bugged here, its texture didn't load in; it isn't supposed to be white. I only noticed this after the screenshot.

The bedroom chamber of Patrizio and Isabella. Not much change here, but there is flowers gifted to each other, and end tables to hold them on.

This section of the ranch has the urns of Claudio and Olivia, now much better decorated, and also has the secondary bathroom. That 3x3 empty room is ideal for laundry. I originally set up a complex system where all the flowers around the urns were from the actual Monty family members, as if they were all mourning the loss of Claudio and Olivia, but the game did not keep track of the flower gifters after placing the lot down in a fresh world. Ah well, it was neat viewing the flowers and seeing 'a gift from Bianca! how nice!' (I even had flowers from Hero, who as we know, was the next to die..)

The kitchen is largely unchanged, but the chess table could not fit, so it became a regular 'reading table', I constantly see Patrizio and Isabella eating pancakes and reading books here, in their PJs.

The teen side of the ranch, I even added the trash piles that are present in their rooms at the game's start! I gave Romeo's bedroom an end table, so he can display the flowers he will inevitably receive from Juliette. Plus, it always irks me when a bed doesnt have an end table.

Finally, as a bonus picture;
