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

The Monty Family (Antonio)
NOTE: Due to EA forum automatic censoring, this post will refer to Antonio's son as Benedict, as his real name is censored)

Recently widowed, Antonio must either give up his job at the family restaurant and use his savings to raise his twins Beatrice and Benedict, or hire help and keep the job he loves. What will be his role in the family feud that may have cost him his wife?

Committed to his children, Antonio is determined to get to the bottom of his wife Hero's death. And what will be his role in the family feud that may have cost him his one true love?

This is how Monte Vista's toddler Antonio looks when all grown up. His hair is store content, but its the only hair in the game that resembles his TS2 hair. Like the original ,he comes with a very high level in the Culinary career, but he will be fighting to keep it until he raises his skills. His family bio has never made much sense; he never has the money to give up his job and raise his kids, as he has to buy a cheap home in the Capp side of town, furnish the house, and then work to pay the bills. I tend to believe he used to live in the house at 267 Avon Avenue, as it has plenty of room for him, his wife, and his kids, and that his wife's death forced him to move out and find a cheaper home.

The more outgoing of Antonio's twins, Beatrice is quite the firecracker. But can she be as sweet as she is sassy?

Beatrice was practically impossible to perfectly recreate; there isnt really much hairstyle variety in Sims 3, and clothing is lacking too. In TS2 she has a denim dress, which doesn't exist in TS3, so I made do with the most similar items I could find. Beatrice had a hidden Family token in her files in TS2, so ive given her the Family-Oriented trait to reflect that

Benedict is the gentler half of Antonio's twins. Sensitive and kind, he may some day be essential to solving the question of his mother's death.

'Benedict' is a twin to Beatrice with mostly identical facial structure. Like her, I used the Sims 2 version's adult look as a basis, then aged the result down to Child. He looks a little closer to his TS2 appearance than Beatrice does. Like Beatrice, Benedict had a hidden Family aspiration token in Sims 2, so ive reflected that in his traits.

Hero Monty has sadly never been more than a thumbnail in the game files; she has no official bio, skill points, anything at all. Thus her Sims 3 appearance is built off extremely limited information. She is included with the family alongside her parents and grandparents. Since her death type is unknown, I set her to death to 'Blunt Force Trauma' as it sounds about right, with this family feud going on.

Instead of living in the same type of house as Bianca, which would be a bit boring, I used the Tiny Tudor from the Sims 2 Lot Bin with some edits. The house comes with a Generations treehouse, appropriately named Castle Monty, and has Hero's grave out back.

Nothing too fancy, but Antonio and the kids can live comfortably here. The only thing the house really lacks is a second shower, expect to see at least one of the family smelly a lot as you balance three people around one low-budget shower.

While this isnt quite Sims 2 furniture, there was so little space for two kids rooms that I had to utilise bunk beds. I also had to expand one of the bedrooms by shrinking the adjacent room, so that Benedict and Beatrice have an equalish amount of space. Beatrice still gets a little extra, as the elder twin.

Like the Bianca household, this comes in a family bin and pre-made home option. The family bin version comes with the standard 20k, with Hero and her ancestors in Antonio's inventory, while the regular version has the graves on the ground and ready for moving to a graveyard.
