The Capp Family (Goneril & Albany)
Goneril's husband Albany wanted a big family, and he got it. Will their offspring carry on the Capp traditions, or smash the establishment to smithereens?

While Goneril wanted children, it certainly wasn't her idea to have this many kids. And why does she feel like Albany perhaps married her more for her money than for her love?
Goneril is the child from Roaring Heights, aged to an adult and dressed appropriately, with a minor edit to make her eye colour accurate. Its amazing how accurate she looks; whoever was building the final store worlds actually cared about the little details in these cameos. She has a career in Business in the main download, at level 5, while she is jobless in the family bin version, to preserve accuracy with the original game.

Albany loves his children. Too bad they don't love each other. Can Albany convince them that family is important? And can he convince Goneril as well?
Sadly Albany's fabulous moustache had to be toned down for a Sims 3 appearance. He has a career as a corporate drone in the Capp family business in the normal version, and starts jobless in the family bin version, to reflect Sims 2. He has a sailboat in his inventory with a pirate flag on it, so that he and Hal can play pretend in the waters of Veronaville, hunting down the imaginary Montyville pirates.

Miranda's cynical and rebellious—and wants out of her parents' crowded house. Could that explain her sudden interest in Mercutio?
Miranda was one of the harder challenges. Despite being the youngest of all the Veronaville teens, she has a lot of hard edges to hr and looks a lot older than she is, with those typical Capp features. She also has that special custom hair, and a very unique outfit. I believe I did a good job at translating her look.

Though he seems abrasive, little Hal is actually a very thoughtful boy. Will he mature into a healthy Sim despite his siblings' torment?
Hal was a tough one; his facial data is broken in sims 2, and his adult face doesn't match his child face. I didnt have a fixed save file on hand that links his face template to the right one, so I was forced to base his adult appearance off his original Sims 2 adult look. Which is still EA-accurate in a way. His pirate outfit is set to Everyday 2, so that he doesn't wander town in a costume

Desdemona wants to be just like her older sister Miranda. Will she be able to carve her own path in such a large family?
Desdemona, like Hal, uses an Everyday 2 for her original fairy costume, which is store content. Now she wont stick out like a sore thumb at every lot she visits, as she'll wear a normal outfit most days.

The youngest in a large family, Ariel just hopes she won't get lost in the shuffle. Can she get enough attention from her parents with all her siblings around?
Ariel's sole notable trait in the original game was that she starts the game with gender preferences set to make her bisexual; while this wont come into play until shes a teenager, it does give players something interesting to keep in mind, she could very easily be the first in the town to have a same-sex relationship, especially during that awkward experimental teenage phase.

Goneril's family in TS2 always had a critical flaw; they had too many family members and not enough money to buy one of the few homes in town large enough to support them. There was only two homes in the eastern side feasible for them, and one still had space shortages despite that, so ive moved them into the only viable lot for them: 80 Bard Boulevard, which I have named the 'Bard's Estate'
The yard has some small additions; bike racks for the kids bikes, a picnic basket on the hill by the tree, Castle Capp to counter the Monty kid's treehouse, and a soccer net for Albany to play with his kids and keep himself in shape.

The front door archway needed to be replaced with a glass door, as otherwise the game thinks the ack door is the front of the lot; leading to flipped thumbnails and everyone coming home from work or school going AROUND the building.
The lounge is nicely decorated, cant have the subplot of 'Did Albany marry me for my money?' if they arent well-off.

The dining room and kitchen, with the bathroom having some small upgrades, with space left over for laundry, because this house would definitely need it.

Ariel and the kid's bedrooms. Since there isnt enough space for Ariel, Hal and Desdemona to all have their own rooms, I divided this room with a halfwall, so that Hal and Desdemona can have some privacy. Later Ariel can move into Desdemona's room and Hal can have the bigger room, as the upcoming man of the house, he'll definitely need his own space.

this side of the house originally had one giant room. Miranda needed her own space, so I carved up that room into a room for the parents, a room for Miranda, and a small connecting room.

The family bin version has a key difference to the Sims 2 version: I increased the amount of money they start off with to around 60k, this way they should be able to buy this house or the other large lot. They really cant live in any of the starter tudor homes comfortably, ive tried many times :p It just doesnt work out.
