https://i.imgur.com/cXuZHBY.pngMy fourth completed town recreation (Technically I finished Bitville before Veronaville), something far more well known that the Stories and Tutorial worlds, this time ive completed the town of Veronaville, known for its extensive family trees and family feuds, with a town divided into an eastern english side, and a western italian side. This time I have added content from a few other sources, all of which fits perfectly in the town. Veronaville in the original game was always difficult to play; all the playable sims were Capps, Montys, or the extra 'weird' family, the Summerdreams. Thankfully the very first expansion pack for Sims 2 added a university tailor made to match Veronaville; Académie Le Tour. This university featured a whole bunch of playable students who would move home to Veronaville after graduating, and having them in the town really added some needed variety. I have thus included all of these students who are living in various versions of the premade homes. I have also made the Monty family lot from Sims 2 PS2; in this game, Patrizio and Isabella ran a bed and breakfast up on a cliff, overlooking a small town, and they had a butler with them by the name of Don Treadwell. I consider this depiction canon and happening before the Sims 2 events, as the duo are much happier and you can assume that Claudio is alive and well still, with the feud yet to be reignited. As such, I have made a recreation of this PS2 lot and character.You will need Master Controller from nraas to fully utilise these families, as family ties are not preserved between files. I have used store content in places, but only when it was generally needed to recreate a specific look, or when an item from Sims 2 reappeared in 3 as store content (Notably the morrocan stuff)The Monty, Capp and Summerdream families with the exception of Bianca Monty, all come with graves on the lot, these are the various ancestors and are required for a complete family tree. The family ties to the playable sims MAY break upon placing these lots, but the ghosts themselves keep all their ties to each other. If the ancestors do not show up on the family tree after placing the lots, relink them with Master Controller. I built a custom graveyard to contain these ancestors, it has more than enough room for all the gravestones.Like with the Four Corners thread, I will post the families and lots one by one, with commentary, lists of necessary changes, and any required maintenance via MC to get the family working as much as possible like it does in Sims 2All my builds and sims are completely CC-free, official content only.Other Sims 2 town lots and sims rebuilt for Sims 3: Tutorial World - Fully Complete!

The Summerdream FamilyThe Summerdreams' kindly nature and zest for life have cast a romantic spell over Veronaville's youth. But will there be any magic left for Puck?Download the fairy version here Download the non-fairy version here https://i.imgur.com/O9L1Vpm.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/Rsvhl2H.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/8vBNGOT.jpgTrying to master the art of home video editing, Oberon has been neglecting his lovely long-time companion Titania. Is it too late for him to recapture their love?Oberon is a reconstruction of the official Oberon EA townie from Moonlight Falls, aged up to Adult and dressed appropriately. I had to use some makeup from Into the Future's registration rewards I think it was, to mimic the look of his superhero mask from TS2. Since a home video editor isnt a career in the game, he works as a Book Club Moderator, which fits his original Knowledge aspiration. His Moonlight Falls traits barely fit his TS2 incarnation, so they have been mostly replaced; people can and do change considerably over time afterall.Official gender preference from TS2 game files:Male: 0Female: +10Relationship settings:>To be filled in later, as the default game is a mess of unmatched relationshipshttps://i.imgur.com/XKlQ0tS.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/cjsH2bH.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/x7EtQR0.jpgThough devoted to her adopted children Puck and Bottom, Titania is feeling restless. Can she again find the peace, love, and happiness she used to share with Oberon or will she look for attention elsewhere?Titania is also taken from Moonlight Falls and aged up to Adult. Her traits were reconfigured as well, and she has a career as a Shopping Music DJ, the closest equivalent to her DJ career from TS2. I miss the Slacker career. She can actually use those DJ skills outside her career too, thanks to Showtime. Titania is also one of the few premade playable bisexual sims, but its rather difficult to keep in play, due to her romance with Oberon.Official gender preference from TS2 game files:Male: +10Female: +10Relationship settings:>To be filled in later, as the default game is a mess of unmatched relationshipshttps://i.imgur.com/pM9flsp.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/hhR6OXk.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Q1HhfO3.jpgPuck has been blessed with two loving parents—and a bratty kid sister—but sometimes he still finds himself lonely. Can he find a companion in Hermia?Puck comes out looking much better, due to the lack of his horribly gaudy makeup in Sims 2. His pants are the fairy pants, which are amusingly, the only pants in the game that come close to his long shorts from TS2.

Will she grow up to be more respectful and responsible?Sadly this is where I run into two problems Sims 3 has, at once. Sims 3 children tend to all look very samey, and any attempt to customise them messes up how they will look as adults, Thus for Bottom, I aged her up to adult in Sims 2, then used her adult appearance as a basis for this iteration. So, when this Bottom ages up to Young Adult, she should looks similar to her TS2 appearance. The second issue, is that Sims 3 is very very stingy on braids and dreadlocks, especially for children, so Bottom's hair wasnt even available. At least she has the outfit, somewhat? In Sims 2, she had a Charisma skill point, but as that skill cant be legitimately learned by kids in TS3, you wont see her skill point in it till teenage years.Official gender preference from TS2 game files:Male: +10Female: 0Relationship settings:>To be filled in later, as the default game is a mess of unmatched relationshipshttps://i.imgur.com/xEu8vuA.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/i8DoAEv.jpgA rather odd house in comparison to the other main families. Very few doors, an open house that anyone could walk into, an odd place for the front doors, and the huge party spot out back. Given the Summerdreams arent exactly normal sims though, it kinda checks out.https://i.imgur.com/mIUiKv2.jpgI added the graves of Titania's parents and maternal grandparents (ie the actual Summerdream line) around this pond, I feel it looks better this way, monuments to the previous kings and queens of the fae. There is also a fairy castle nearby. https://i.imgur.com/mU9skGU.jpgThe kitchen has an alchemy shelf with a huge amount of pollen punch, the secret elixir that you cannot learn or make. Its basically the stuff in the fairy homes, but in portable form, and everyone can drink them. I have it set up so that all four Summerdreams know the recipe for pollen punch, but they still cant make it; the creation of it is a lost art that only the old Summerdreams knew. As such the stock here is the last supply of it. There is also some fairy elixirs in the shelf contents, to convert people into faeries (or regain the fairy powers if playing the non-fairy version, but doing so will result in random wings)https://i.imgur.com/10IXxhM.jpgThere is now an alchemy table on the lower level, and several decorative plants have been replaced with functional gardening planters with alchemy plants and herbs in them. Oberon's mother's urn is also placed here, in place of a decorative urn. https://i.imgur.com/2EbzIb0.jpgThe top level also has gardening planters, and has Oberon's father's urn. I recall having to do something different with the staircases here due ti engine differences.https://i.imgur.com/mVjvOGi.jpgBottom and Oberon's rooms. Oberon doesn't actually use the bed, as he prefers to sleep with his girlfriend Titania, but I have placed home video items from Generations here to tie into his Sims 2 career and his official TS2 bio. https://i.imgur.com/oKPXnOb.jpgTitania and Puck's rooms. Titania's room even has a cup of coffee randomly lying around like it does in TS2. I originally wanted Puck's room to have flowers from Hermia on his table, but the link was severed with the upload, so its just random flowers now. He has a backpack in his room, but its only for show; unless hes a non-fairy, he cant actually use it.

Devalaous, this is an incredible amount of work, and done so well - ??????. Thank you for all your hard work, and for sharing it with us. This is a fantastic build.

The Monty FamilyPatrizio 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?Download the Monty family herehttps://i.imgur.com/AD1IIg0.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/NcqUwTJ.jpgThrough 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.

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.Official gender preference from TS2 game files:Male: 0Female: +10Relationship settings:>To be filled in later, as the default game is a mess of unmatched relationshipshttps://i.imgur.com/TDSdFzY.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/l8tMspV.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/utLPDIM.jpgGood-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.Official gender preference from TS2 game files:Male: 0Female: +10Relationship settings:>To be filled in later, as the default game is a mess of unmatched relationshipshttps://i.imgur.com/LmLca5G.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/Bu28Pi1.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/LIFBVrZ.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/cW5NDf9.jpgNaturally 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.Official gender preference from TS2 game files:Male: -10Female: +10Relationship settings:>To be filled in later, as the default game is a mess of unmatched relationshipshttps://i.imgur.com/ifvBNzI.jpgClaudio'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.https://i.imgur.com/goesr0N.jpgWhile 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.https://i.imgur.com/1YZ3Ffn.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/ocDRp9d.jpgThe 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.https://i.imgur.com/YEAytgj.jpgDue 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. https://i.imgur.com/MDc9Jiv.jpgThe 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.https://i.imgur.com/Cpz7ayg.jpgThis 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..)https://i.imgur.com/AoenLbh.jpgThe 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.https://i.imgur.com/iQaKjiH.jpgThe 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;https://i.imgur.com/RS3vwF6.jpgPatrizio and Isabella's PS2 outfits, with Don Treadwell.

The Capp FamilyJuliette Capp has fallen for Romeo, golden child of the rival Monty clan.

What led to the end of their relationship, and can it now be salvaged?Consort is straight from Roaring Heights, and aged up and dressed the part, he looks just like his Sims 2 counterpart, only a little less exaggerated. Like Patrizio, Consort has changed in the years since Roaring Heights, and his traits are adjusted. No longer is he a coward or athletic (which didn't fit him at ALL), he is now Grumpy and Family-Oriented, with a sixth Mean-Spirited trait brought on by the family feud and the death of his beloved daughter.

Will his pride and hatred of the Montys ruin his sister Juliette's chance for happiness with Romeo?Tybalt Capp is probably the only one of the younger generation truly interested in the feud, and it would not surprise me if hes responsible for some of the stuff keeping the flames burning; teens are very reactionary and impulsive. Tybalt has earned his driver's license, since hes close to aging up to YA, and for those that cant stand his silly facepaint, he has an Everyday 2 without it. In the original game, he had it on every outfit, except for when he was bathing, but ive done a sanity check and applied it only to his Everyday 1. In Sims 2 he had facial hair, showing his general age compared to the other teens as the oldest teen in town, but Sims 3 has really bad options for teens when it comes to facial hair. Once hes a young adult, he should have light stubble around his chin to be accurate to his Sims 2 look.Since private school is no longer a thing, he simply goes to regular school with the Monty brothers, and likely makes every day hell for them.

Can she make her family proud and make herself happy as well?Juliette was a bit problematic, as theres no skirt like her original one. I still think she looks close enough to be instantly recognisable though. Unlike Tybalt, Juliette and Hermia have to use bikes, until they are taught to drive by Consort. She still owns a car thats waiting for that day though.

She often wonders what rock her brother Tybalt crawled out from under.Hermia was definitely troublesome. Her unique look was almost entirely impossible to recreate, due to a lot of missing assets. So she has a slight redesign. She also ended up using some store content, as the rebellious outfits in Sims 3, most of them tend to be from the store, especially for the teens. Since Sims 3 dumbs down the relationship panel in a lot of ways, you cant set her to be crushing on both Mercutio and Puck without affecting her romance reputation, she'll be considered cheating if both end up as Love Interests. Probably best to just hook her up with Puck, as the Summerdream family scripting encourages.

Will she let go of her anger at the Montys and do her daughter Cordelia's memory justice by allowing Juliette to pursue her true love?Contessa is the same Contessa from Roaring Heights, aged to Elder. I didnt give her a sixth trait like the other three elders, as I didn't see the point in it, given that she starts dead. She did live to see Cordelia and Caliban die though, and her death seems to be the most recent thing in Veronaville when the game starts. She didn't have any skill points in either Sims 2 or Sims 3, so ive given her some appropriate ones, just incase someone revives her or makes her a zombie or so forth.She also left her classic car from her Roaring Heights days for an heir to inherit; you'll find it in the family inventory. I thought this would be a neat thing. https://i.imgur.com/vmAiCZ3.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/vIUTdMn.jpgCordelia and Caliban, the parents of the Capp teens, both were very buggy in Sims 2, Caliban especially. Cordelia was born ingame to Contessa and Consort in Roaring Heights, similar to Kent, but I had to edit her face to 'un-Cappify' it, as she inherited the gaunt Capp face. She doesnt look like that in Sims 2, so I needed to give some quick plastic surgery..Caliban has always been probably the greatest throwaway ancestor in the game; he wasn't given a full set of ancestors, only the two parents, his ghost was the most broken of the ones on the Capp lot, and his grave was kept out on the lawn, while Consort had his wife and daughter stored in his bedroom.https://i.imgur.com/nGZJBHH.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/QpYlQ0F.jpgThe Capp Manor, ancestral home of the Capp family. I needed to add some little fences around the central pathway, as unlike Sims 2, everyone decided to walk on the grass AROUND the steps as it was faster, while in Sims 2, they used the path like the civilised family they were. Now there is small flower beds restricting access to the grounds on the sides, ensuring they use the pathway as intended. The Capp ancestral graveyard isnt big enough to hold all of Consort's ancestors comfortably, so they will need to be moved to the Veronaville Graveyard. https://i.imgur.com/fHAlvmv.jpgConsort's room downstairs has flowers from Contessa by his bed now. Presumably the last gift he ever received from her. It would be ideal to buy them a bookcase for that entryway room where they sit by the fire. I wanted to add one myself, but I don't like deviating too much, because if I start, then I'll revamp the WHOLE house. I would rather have other players customise these homes to their individual liking.https://i.imgur.com/wgpV7rt.jpgThe kitchen area. Like all kitchens (unless I forget outright) it now has a recycling bin added.https://i.imgur.com/wgpV7rt.jpgThe largest upstairs bedroom ive always considered to be Juliette's room, Tybalt may be the eldest, and a dude like him would definitely warrant his own space and bathroom, but Juliette is repeatedly called the heir of the Capp family, so she gets special priority treatment it seems.https://i.imgur.com/sVc8RxT.jpgHermia and Tybalt's bedrooms.

Bianca Monty is aged up from her child appearance in Monte Vista. While TS2 implies shes just starting her life, her overall story generally places her at Adult stage in this game, as her younger brothers both have had time to raise thier own families. I'm guessing she lived with her parents most of her life, and looked after the home while they were off doing the B&B thing from PS2. I also switched the age of Bianca and Antonio; in Sims 2 he was older than her, and we all know that Antonio is actually the middle child of the Monty family.

Maybe one day she'll have a kid herself and convert that room to a kid's room. ___________________The family bin upload is just like the TS2 version, all packed up and ready to be placed into a house of the player's choosing. The other version is a pre-placed house already furnished, so the whole town can be occupied quickly, and of course, for those that don't want to specifically play as her but have her in the background. The family bin version also respects TS2's choice of starting her unemployed, while the normal version has her already employed in the family businesss, the Culinary career. I always found it strange that only Antonio was employed, when all the other family bin families in Veronaville had clear intended careers and the skill points required for them. Must have been a development error.

The Sharpe Family
Nothing is worse than having a dorky brother, except maybe having a dorky brother live with you! Roxie is tolerant of her brother, but hes putting a huge strain on her new relationship. Edwin likes having family nearby, but cant help but wonder if life would be better on his own, and away from Jonah's aggression. Can they find a way to all get along?

Download the Sharpe family here

The Sharpe family was originally the Sharpe household from Sims 2 University. Here, I have split them up into two families, as its not too realistic to expect Roxie and Jonah to keep Edwin around back home in Veronaville; Jonah would kick the nerd out right away! Note that I keep the Sims 2 personal bios the same, its more a stylistic choice there to reflect where they came from. The personal bios are rarely viewed to start with :p

https://i.imgur.com/zxt2f8o.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/5PXFIci.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/lArkqLv.jpg
Roxie is doing fairly well at school and is highly tolerant of her brother Edwin -- or so she says. She likes to shop.

Roxie uses a lot of store content, but this was the only way to have her look remotely like she does in Sims 2 Uni. She specialises in playing bass, as shown in the household thumbnail in TS2, and could potentially start a band with Jonah and two other musicians. She is in the music career at level 1. She originally had a Psychology degree in TS2, in this version she would generally go for Fine Arts. Since she had progressed far enough in university to have 5 want slots in the original game, here she starts off with a sixth trait, as she has reached Rebel level 8. Similarly, she is one day older than her brother, to reflect how Sims 2 University spans four years, with Roxie started off in her second year of university.

https://i.imgur.com/5YNzkpQ.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/6OZDR2P.jpg
Edwin hates living with his sister and her boyfriend but can't find anyone else to move in with. Life would probably be better back in the dorms.

The horribly nerdy brother of Roxie, hes almost the total opposite of her. He had a math degree in the original, as one would expect. This would roughly translate to Science and Medicine, if he goes to university again in this game. He has enough nerd points to be able to do all the nerd activities up to level 6, and starts off as a Video Game Developer at level 1, truly a job for a nerd. He will likely go through the programmer track.

https://i.imgur.com/AbGIBSx.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/kUUnbjI.jpg
Very similar to the Friends household in the last post, they live in one of the three Twin Tudor homes, specifically 'Twin Tudor A', the home on 50 Poet Place. I was originally going to keep Roxie and Jonah together and kick Edwin out to a side house in the bigger 'Divided Tudor' lot, but it just didn't fit a small 'barely out of high school' family.

Roxie's side of the house has a small herb garden and spot to chill out with Jonah when he comes over, while Edwin, who barely goes outdoors, will occasionally manage to convince his sister to play chess with him, or more likely, invite his crush Delilah O'Feefe over and play a game with her.

https://i.imgur.com/GPFPmEy.jpg
Roxie's side of the house is generally decorated more to match her and Jonah, Edwin is rarely welcome over here and definitely gets shooed out when Jonah is over. Edwin's skeleton class object is stored over here however due to lack of space. Sometimes the three will eat dinner together, as evidenced by the three chairs in the kitchen, but its likely a tense dinner each time.

https://i.imgur.com/9BFFoci.jpg
Roxie's upstair's section has a place for her to jam with Jonah (who is a drummer), and she has a rather sizeable bedroom, even has her own mini fridge :D

Edwin has a very small basic kitchen downstairs so he can feed himself and keep up his gaming sprees, with a second beanbag for those two-player games when a friend is over.

His small nerdcave up top, with the bathroom rearranged a little to make room for laundry. I can imagine a small deal going down that she wont hassle him too much in exchange for borrowing a small bit of his side for laundry, due to the lack of overall house space.

The Powers Family
Jonah is the town's bad boy, wooing ladies left and right. Currently he's with Roxie Sharpe, but he just cant stand her dorky brother. Can they all learn to get along?

Download Jonah Powers here

Jonah is the girlfriend of Roxie Sharpe and is part of her household in Sims 2 University. Here, he is seperate, as they are living in thier home town, rather than in a rental home at university. I had to fix a bug in the upload, delete the original, then reuplaod with a different filename, hopefully it works better this time (Remove the 'bugfix' from the family name after use, unless you like seeing that in the family name :p)

https://i.imgur.com/BN4AmEm.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/8BWuxIa.jpg
Everyone seems to want to be with Jonah, the bad boy on campus but his main concern is getting his girlfriend's annoying brother out of the house as soon as possible.

Jonah actually has real tattoos now that are persistent with all of his outfits; due to the way Sims 2 works, all those tattoos only existed in his normal everyday outfit, as if they were stickers. A terrible thought..

Due to his second year student status in TS2, here he has a bonus sixth trait to mimic the extra want slot reward, and he has the Irresistible trait in it, like his bio implies. You'll have a tough time keeping him only in Roxie's hands! In the original game he had a really weird face with big puffy lips, I kind of managed to incorporate those features without making him look too strange. His original major was Philosophy, but due to the severe simplification in degrees in Sims 3, he'll basically be in Fine Arts this time. He starts off with a career in Music, at level 1, aiming to be a Rock Star (Although he is a drummer as shown by his family image in TS2, so he'll need to learn guitar skills too)

He also has his own motorbike in his inventory, as its truly the vehicle for him.

Jonah lives in the house at 26 Via Veronaville, the 'Sturdy Tudor A'. Due to his grunge rebel sorta lifestyle, cant see him decorating it much. Hes got a bonfire out back, and a smaller firepit for at least three.

https://i.imgur.com/NEZN1AF.jpg
Hes got some interesting decor in his home, contrasting the rest of the ALT students, with drums as a bookcase, an arcade cabinet, and a large professional bar, plus all the record rugs all over the house, to show his love for music.

https://i.imgur.com/I3CDXXn.jpg
Upstairs he has a whole room to practice his music with Roxie, a bar to exercise on to keep his muscles, and a rather nice leopard-print bed for...romantic endeavours.

The O'Feefe Family

Delilah couldn't stand the hustle and bustle of the eastern side of town, so she moved out to the quieter side with her inheritance to focus on her artistic side. She aims to paint the town yellow.

Download Delilah here

The crush of Edwin Sharpe, Delilah lived in a rental home at ALT and was very much an anti-people person.

https://i.imgur.com/QW75AR6.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/lZpswY6.jpg
Delilah is aloof and sticks to her own "kind." She prefers paintings to people and loves the color yellow.

Shes slightly less dorky looking here than she is in Sims 2. She had an Art major, which perfectly lines up with the Fine Art degree in TS3. I gave her a yellow car and lots of yellow items, since she really likes yellow. One of the few times I don't have to make up a favourite colour for a Sims 2 character! She is employed as an art appraiser, but might be better suited to a self-employed artist or sculptor. At least keep her in the career long enough for the art training opportunities :p

https://i.imgur.com/2xqHBuB.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/QjCuDZw.jpg
Her home is a lot bin building, the Helluva Hacienda, with some small additions like palm trees and dirt patches. I wanted at least one other person living on the 'western side' since its pretty sparse and lonely over there. EA really should have added some smaller italian style homes.

Her living here is also a reference to ALT's version of the same lot, a rental home that is way too expensive to actually use.

https://i.imgur.com/GgZqAtA.jpg
I had trouble filling out all the space with one single person living here. I made the opening room a socalisation area, with a small bar to make casual drinks for guests, and the big open room by the kitchen I made an art station, for painting, sculpting and sketching.

https://i.imgur.com/XMhtgPF.jpg
Then theres the TV and book room, the spare bathroom, and spare bedroom.

https://i.imgur.com/Z6FB1sj.jpg
Upstairs she has her bedroom, with lots of yellow, and a second art room, likely comes in handy in cold weather and rainy dismal days.

https://i.imgur.com/4EPVxxa.jpg
She is all ready to go to university and get that Fine Arts degree!

The Biggs Family

Quiet and unassuming, Marla finds it easy to get lost in the background. She wonders if dormitory life at university will help her break out of her shell.

Download Marla Biggs here

Marla was one of the family bin sims from ALT, to be played in one of the dormitories.

https://i.imgur.com/WC8OxdD.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/I2MsRRM.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/yU9Klaj.jpg
Marla may have some big glasses, but they're a reflection of her big heart. She is searching for her identity in a new place.

I couldn't get Marla to look exactly like shes does in TS2, especially since in Sims 2, shes meant to be fat, and that affects sims a LOT more in Sims 3. She still looks dorky and shy though, definitely a 'background' kind of person that most wouldn't notice in a crowd. She had a bilogy major in TS2, and her original programmed lifetime wish was to reach the top of the medical career, so she would benefit from the Science and Medicine degree. As such, she has a level 2 medical career (skipping Organ Donor, the worst entry level career ever)

https://i.imgur.com/RT75Jwt.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/HrTO3SM.jpg
Like Bianca Monty, she lives in one of the three Tudor Starter homes, specifically model C, located at 46 Bard Boulevard. There is a couple of sciencey items outside, like pots to plant things in, a telescope, and a chess table.

https://i.imgur.com/kWOohbH.jpg
The interior is well decorated for a single sim with little money, she will live comfortably here, but will likely want to get some carpet later on.

https://i.imgur.com/kiYREeO.jpg
Upstairs is her bedroom and a nerd's haven, full of science gear.

The Freshe Family

Tom has a simple dream; to become filthy rich as quickly as possible. He aims to get a degree in Business someday soon to get ahead of the game.

Download Tom Freshe here

Seems I have a minor typo in the uploaded version, oops. Tom Freshe was originally half of the Students household from ALT, a pair of serious students that lived together in a dorm of your choosing.

https://i.imgur.com/HVVT2Ey.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/uI8MyBo.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/WvhHGJc.jpg
Tom is looking to make big bucks as fast and he can and figures going to college will put him ahead of the game.

One of two business nuts in ALT, Tom is the one who's more into fast promotions, stacks of cash, and cutting corners. The kind of guy that the real world is sadly full of. Typically, he had a major in Economics, which translates directly to the business degree, and he starts at level 1 of the Business career. Amusingly, I have it set in the test game where I playtest these sims and lots, so that his boss is Consort Capp, and his coworkers are all the younger Capps. If he hopes to become a power broker one day, he has to first start off delivering coffee to Goneril, Albany and Regan and getting in their good graces.

https://i.imgur.com/GeY9pvT.jpg
Tom lives at 100 Via Veronaville, in the Classic Tudor A. I forgot to get a picture of the rear of the lot, but another sim coming up lives in the B variant, which is nearly identical. There isn't anything really placed on his lot outside anyway.

https://i.imgur.com/rCCjUVe.jpg
The downstairs bit is functionally decorated, a small dining room, and a living room that's mostly a reading place. When you live on your own, its difficult to fill a full house up.

https://i.imgur.com/Qp0KUUa.jpg
Upstairs is where its at. Tom's 'luxurious' bedroom, and the spare room that hes converted into a spot with games, computers, and even a chillout spot to chat with friends.

The Lee Family

Emily loves history, and came to Veronaville to learn it's past. Maybe she will earn a place in history herself one day as a history novelist, but that time is a long way away.

Download Emily Lee here

Emily is the second half of the Students household. Keeping her together with Tom really didn't make much sense, as nothing really implies they ever met each other prior to the start of ALT's first semester.

https://i.imgur.com/AoiUx6k.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/4RL80Oi.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/I6N0nC0.jpg
Emily's excited about starting school and very interested in learning the history behind the Academy.

Emily was a little frustrating to make, as she has a rather asian-esque look, and has two distinct looks; when she has her hat on, and when she doesnt. I tried to get both looks down, and while I think shes recognisable, someone else might have better luck getting the facial details just right. Getting asian eyes right in Sims 3 is a nightmare..

Emily had a history major, which aligned mostly with military and law enforcement, but it also DID benefit the Artist career. Since shes very artsy looking, I instead have her pegged for a Fine Arts degree. Although communications might be better for her, as I gave her a Journalism career at level 1, to give her a reason to develop her Writing skill.

https://i.imgur.com/4EDcDoi.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/JzAcfOf.jpg
Emily lives in the unique home at 45 Bard Boulevard, one of only two of the small tudor homes to not be duplicated. I named it the Bard's Abode. I fixed the front door by replacing the archway with a glass door, so that the game detected the front door of the lot properly (I forgot to do this on the empty version of the lot, so its thumbnail is backwards, oops.)

https://i.imgur.com/byOFenP.jpg
Her home is a little haphazard, with chairs mismatching in places, but hey, shes technically a uni student :p Shes got a lot of books on the lower level too.

https://i.imgur.com/eqdVvyF.jpg
Upstairs she has a bedroom with the TV and game console, as well as a piano, and the spare room is entirely taken up by art stuff.

The Furley Family

Phineaus "Fin" Furley is a loner that noone seems to want around, and few listen to what he has to say. Despite this, he aims to get into politics to change the world.

Download Phineaus Furley here

Phineaus was part of the First Year household, the third and final family bin household from ALT.

https://i.imgur.com/D4ewwFO.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/3NrH6Qu.jpg
Phineas "Fin" Furley is a loner. Nobody seems to want him around or cares about what he has to say, but he's almost too busy trying to change the world to worry about it.

Fin was easy enough to make. His clothing was simple, his facial details werent too crazy either. Sadly, he has a much lamer beard, as Sims 3 doesnt have any simple chin-only beards. He had a Political Science major in TS2, which translates to a Communications degree in TS3. He has a level 1 career in Politics, with the lifetime wish to become Leader of the Free World. He may be a loser that noone listens to, but he can overcome it with effort I think.

https://i.imgur.com/w0HIsMp.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/yWPRLFg.jpg
He lives in the Classic Tudor B, at 28 Bard Boulevard. Ironically, the original lot in Sims 2 starts off with not even a kitchen sink or a toilet, and less outdoor objects than its counterpart, but Fin's version is better decorated than Tom's version.

https://i.imgur.com/XY6nhnE.jpg
A similar floor plan to Tom's house, with more focus on actually using the downstairs spaces.

https://i.imgur.com/qCkwj2i.jpg
Like Tom, he has a spare bedroom thats used for other activities, with his school radio stored in there, and his computer. He also has a treadmill to keep himself in shape, as he prefers bicycles to cars; hes Eco-Friendly, as he wishes to change the world.

Ellen has never had time for parties, festivals and social pursuits. Now that shes out of high school with top grades, she aims to get a degree from university and jumpstart her career.

https://i.imgur.com/qgm0m6F.jpg
Ellen doesn't understand why some people need to party ALL the time. She just wants to graduate and get out of the crazy college life.

I spent far far too long trying to get her looks right and accepted this as her finalised look; I was spending too many hours in CAS, and the game wouldnt stay stable for much longer (It DID crash shortly after I gave in, taking her house with it). Ellen is the no-nonsense serious student whos at university purely for the degree, shes never been too fun to play in my games. Like Tom, shes all about business, but she does it the proper way through hard work. She starts of with level 2 of the business career.

https://i.imgur.com/wrrPOD7.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/ScJR2H1.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/JgRayCT.jpgShe lives in the Sturdy Tudor B, 35 Bard Boulevard, and this is one of the few duplicated homes with noticeable changes; the outside of the B variant has different tiling on the footpath, hilly terrain, many more landscaping plants, and even some different lights.

https://i.imgur.com/EkfIcuZ.jpg
I decorated her house twice, due to a crash. The second time through I may have forgotten some things, but ive generally gone with her personality, not too many silly items, mostly stuff tied to her career or things that will help her advance through the ranks, like the schmoozing with her superiors if they ever come over to her home. She has a video game system because even she needs to work off some stress once in a while. Plus, she has this one guy across town shes friends with who's always willing to battle in an online game..

https://i.imgur.com/e51p9cL.jpg
Upstairs is similarly focused on her career, with the spare room holding a whiteboard with charts and diagrams, and a spare work presentation briefcase (I wish you could stand those things up all the time as a permanent fixture)

Chaz really dislikes anyone he thinks is cooler than he is. He keeps looking for love in all the wrong places and wonders why he hasn't found it yet.

Chaz was always the problem guy of the First Year household. Pushy and rude, and always trying to flirt with the girls to no success, unable to see his own faults. He was also overweight and dressed terribly. He had a onesided crush on Ellen Frost, and he had a literature major, which translates to Communications and a career in Journalism, which he starts at level 1. He had an amusingly long pointy nose in TS2, which is rather toned down this time, had a LOT of trouble trying to replicate his look.

https://i.imgur.com/TWF2au3.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/LAo2REh.jpg
He lives in the Chorus Starter, one of the four starter homes in Veronaville, and the only starter home that didn't have a duplicate elsewhere in the neighbourhood. Its a terrible home, very small and cramped, but it works for a single sim like Chaz.

https://i.imgur.com/tpFM1QD.jpg
He has the place decorated simply and cheaply, like a proper lower class university student. Hes no rich boy like Tom or Phineaus.

https://i.imgur.com/ltUyyAY.jpg
His bedroom is a bit of a mess. He likely thinks that arcade cabinet he has at home makes him really cool :p The spare room is used to hold his communications degree radio, and his computer for when he internet stalks Ellen Frost. Oh uh, he probably doesn't actually do that...probably.

The Bard's Abode
A unique home down Bard Boulevard, this small home is quite cosy.

See the Lee family for pictures of this lot. Due to being forgetful, I forgot to replace the front archway with a glass door; this results in the game treating the back door as the front door, which is why the thumbnail in the download is backwards.
