Sims Life Stories: Bitville - lots and sims rebuilt for Sims 3

The Aires Family

Bitville -- the perfect lair for Sasha to set her traps and live comfortably off the gullible and wealthy male. Sasha's rather impressive manipulation of the male gender dates back to the tender age of eight when she convinced her father to buy her an expensive pony despite the fact that they lived in an apartment. Will her scheming ever get her what she wants? There was a time when she dreamed of becoming a mother and raising a family. But are there any men smart enough to make it worthwhile?

Sasha is a classic gold digger, even more blunt about it than Samantha. Still, shes a lot nicer a person. She's introduced to Vincent via internet dating thanks to Greg, and its not long before Vincent realises shes more interested in his wallet than him. Fortunately, his friend Maximillion arrives, a fellow rich man, but one who is known for lavishly spending his money, and notably single. So he leaves Sasha with Max, and they hit it off and the date switches hands. Whether they continue to date is left up to the player.

Like the other women so far, she has a part-time job to avoid being chucked into random poorly-fitting jobs, and she has some skills, unlike the original.

Gender pref:
Male +10
Female -10

A nice normal car for Sasha, not too flashy, not too poor. All those kids going to school in the background are the townie teens and children from Bitville :p

A surprisingly normal home for Sasha, it has three bedrooms, likely another inherited home.

The Moore Family

Vincent's uncle got him a kite when he was six. Vincent attached three bottle rockets, a flying disc and a funnel to the kite and had his first satellite. At age ten he met Greg Chomsky and tried to attach Greg, and they've been friends ever since. Nine years later Vincent moved to Bitville and started Jigantor Computing Networks.

NOTE: EA censors the official bio, due to somehow finding the first word of his company offensive. Use the wiki to find the real name and replace the censoring ingame (EDIT: Huh, they stopped censoring Jigantor, at least on the forums.)

Download the messy version of the Moore family here

The messy version is almost exactly how it is when the game begins; Vincent comes home to a house thats full of trash and grime, as his BFF is a slob. The trash piles did not save with the home, sadly, so mods will have to create it for players recreating the story

https://i.imgur.com/suWzW7C.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/azkTPoM.jpg
Vincent is the founder and owner of JCN Corporation, and is constantly working. This leaves him no time to devote to his social life. Can Vincent juggle both love and labor?

Vincent Moore is the richest sim in the entire Sims series; he starts with a massive §2,829,078 that you will never be able to spend, and hes earned all that in his early twenties! He also starts with a level 10 Business career, as he did in Sims LS.

Official gender preference:
0 Male
0 Female
Yes, he wasn't even given a preference, despite starting the game as a the girlfriend of Samantha, and the entire game demonstrating hes definitely into the ladies.

His prebuilt relationships, both implied in game, and through game files, are that Greg is his Best Friend Forever, Sherman is his Best Friend, Johnny is his enemy, Samantha is his girlfriend (not for long!), Maximillion is his friend, and that he at least knows Don Calamari.

https://i.imgur.com/RbdHy3K.jpg
He has a pretty good car, as you'd expect from someone so rich. I did also give him a speedboat, since Bitville has a river thats often seen with boats in it, but for some reason they keep going missing, and don't save in the inventories. These creations predate Veronaville, so I had not yet developed my newer tendency to name people's cars, so that you can tell which cars in lots are real cars, and which ones are randomly generated trash.

JCN Mansion, remake of 1 JCN Circle

Vincent's house is...quite odd. I had to make some changes in places due to differences in the games, like adding a proper shower in the big bathroom, due to the public showers no longer being in the game (The store version makes people shower in swimwear, so there is one in the house for the pool and guests, but ive added a small area for a real shower.)

https://i.imgur.com/GzyiGYL.jpg
The house starts off with the bathrooms and kitchen absolutely filthy, and some of Greg's unfinished meals lying spoiled. This is all pristine in the clean version of the house...or it should be!

https://i.imgur.com/RaRRyct.jpg
The little side room is like a prfect little chillout pad. Greg somehow destroyed the computer here in the story, but he gives you a ridiculous new one soon enough.

The Hunt Family

Naomi has never been very lucky, but she hopes her luck will change here in Bitville. Maybe the right man to change her life is just around the corner...

NOTE: EA never gave Naomi an official bio, as you never get to see her house in Neighbourhood view in a normal game. My bio is unofficial and something I wrote up to match the style of the others.

Download the Hunt family here

https://i.imgur.com/fT9ywjF.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/CZXiWHR.jpg
Naomi Hunt is the only other sim in the original town that had any skill points; this was because she was the secondary character and is destined to be the lover of Vincent...unless he makes a terrible mistake in the ending. She worked as a barista at Baliwood Star Lanes, and eventually moves in with Vincent at the very end of the story; however before the night is out, she gets killed in a freak accident, by Vincent's space satellite that was launched at the onset of the story. From there you have the choice of two endings, and the game ends and switches to Freeplay Mode. Due to this, players never get to see her furnished home, or her bio.

Her official gender pref is:
Male +10
Female -10
No surprises there!

https://i.imgur.com/ZQBEUaM.jpg
A perfect match?

https://i.imgur.com/BJir0W0.jpg
Using Nrass' Register mod, you can assign her to work at the Baliwood Star Lanes coffee/cake stand. This only works if your not playing as her though, but still, its perfect for recreating the story. Hopefully the barista outfit is still saved in her outfits in the download. When not set to work at the coffee stand, she works at the Bookstore, as a part-time job. Its mostly to protect her from the game systems trying to add new co-workers to careers that need more members, as it goes after Unemployed and Retired sims (Rude!) before generating new sims.

https://i.imgur.com/fw7WU3x.jpg
She has a simple family wagon to traffic all those kids she will probably make with Vincent, assuming he makes the right choice..

Hunt's Home, remake of 27 Second Street

This home is something of a minor holy grail; no matter what, Naomi always moves out and sells the entire home's items by the end of the story, leaving 27 Second Street entirely empty, even without lights and bathroom fixtures. Fortunately, by replacing the lot file with an untouched copy from when the game was first installed, you can restore all the furniture and see what she lived in. My remake is entirely based on this 'lost' home layout.

I did need to change the back of the home though, due to the way hot tubs work. With no raised tub, I had to use a frieze to raise a sunken tub up a level, otherwise the tub sags into the lower level and creates all sorts of issues. I have this same problem in Pleasantview with Don Lothario and the Caliente sisters; expect big changes there.

https://i.imgur.com/SjqUFZn.jpg
Quite a big home with three bedrooms, yet she lives alone. Maybe she inherited the home from her unknown family members?

https://i.imgur.com/d5Yi5ob.jpg
The upstairs room is the TV/music hangout spot.

The Hayden Family

Samantha is loving Bitville so far. New in town, and she already has the richest guy in town around her finger! Her new man is away on a business trip right now, but she has QUITE the surprise in store for him when he returns..

NOTE: Samantha has an official bio that differs from this one, but her bio is from the perspective of the story's conclusion, not its beginning. I gave her a new one that's more friendly with a story that has yet to begin, so that players can recreate the Bitville story from scratch.

Download the Hayden family here

https://i.imgur.com/N6xtRVk.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/qC6HD7d.jpg
Samantha Hayden is basically the antagonist of Vincent's story; She goes completely psycho after Vincent freaks out over a marriage proposal just three weeks after they started dating; with him being gone on a business trip for two of them. He breaks up with her and she proceeds to personally ruin almost everything he does afterwards, including setting his house on fire and almost getting him killed from an electric shock, as well as ruining all his dates. She also hooks up with his most bitter business rival, which doesn't go too well.

Despite her allergy to hard work, she has a part-time job, to protect her from randomly being shoved into, say, the military, by the game's employment systems. She also now has a selection of skill points, including the ability to Club Dance.

Gender pref:
Male +10
Female -10
No surprises there.

As a party girl that leaps from wealthy man to wealthy man, makes sense that she has a car to match her lifestyle.

Retro Bungalow, remake of 19 Second Street

Samantha's home is just a home from the Life Stories lot bin; albeit with a couple of extra items placed. She starts with no furniture except a mirror and a phone I believe. Its as if shes been living entirely with Vincent and then Johnny, only moving to an empty house with the last of her money when she had no options left.

This home's Lot Bin version is in my studio, albeit a bugged version with an accidental texture misplaced.

I had to change the pool outdoors to a have a curved section, as diagonal pools are oddly not a thing.

https://i.imgur.com/fsDsZ2N.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/O1O5Zse.jpg
Ive improved her home by giving her just enough basic furniture. Due to the way Sims 3 works with its open world, she needs a home to rest and return to when needs fall too low, and thus she needed some basics. Now, instead of living with her boyfriends, she has a basic home she owns but neglects; there are packing crates in the child's bedroom because she just doesn't need all that space, and doesn't need to furnish her home when she can just cozy up in a rich lover's arms.

https://i.imgur.com/BXeN779.jpg
The bedroom is disconnected, and has quite the bathroom. Two regular showers, as the store showers don't really work here. I even added the mirror she has in her original bare home!

The Chomsky Family

The best friend of Bitville. Everybody loves Greg, and everybody SMELLS Greg. The guy hasn't got his hygiene together, but what's to be expected from the lowest paid male in Bitville? He doesn't worry about his status because he keeps sight of the important things -- fun and friendship. It's been a while since Greg's last date. Can a big heart make up for a big mess?

Download the Chomsky family here

https://i.imgur.com/cYaro8P.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/EpwznGZ.jpg
Greg is the long-time BFF of Vincent, firm friends since childhood, despite the giant gap in wealth that eventually grew, as well as social standing. Vincent even trusts him to look after his house instead of Samantha, when he goes away on a two-week business trip, even though Greg trashes the house and breaks his computer. Throughout the story Greg constantly helps and hangs out with Vincent, and even gets him a dating profile on a new computer he buys to replace the one he broke, all to get Vincent out of the slump Samantha puts him in. By the end of the story hes starting to date Alexa Starr, and how things end up there is left up to the player

As he is said to be the lowest paid male in the town, I gave him a level 1 career in Culinary, which matches his LTW in the original. He also now has several skill points in several areas.

Gender pref:
Male: -10
Female: +10
Again, no surprise, as the game shows hes into Alexa and Naomi.

https://i.imgur.com/FEShmmr.jpg
Maybe this is how that computer got wrecked; playing games in a public park is asking for trouble.

https://i.imgur.com/mJH3tZC.jpg
As the lowest paid male in Bitville, its only fitting he has the cheapest ride. But he takes pride in his car and customised it a bit!

The Chillout Pad, remake of 102 Mountain View
Greg's home is actually pretty well-looked after and well decorated for his pay-level. Perfect for inviting his best buds Vincent and Sherman over after they stress themselves with work.

https://i.imgur.com/USP0NbO.jpg
The home does quickly get messy whenever he cooks or showers though, due to his absolute lack of Neat points in TS2, and his Slob trait in TS3.

https://i.imgur.com/GcscWRI.jpg
Upstairs he has an exercise machine, he must be trying to improve his image to get the attentions of Bitville's ladies (Maybe he should try deodorant..)

The Boggle Family

A geek's geek in a high tech town, Sherman loves Bitville. He knows the fastest route from any point to another, and he has the high score on both pinball machines at Baliwood Star Lanes.

Sherman is a lot of player's favourite character in Life Stories, since he's the ultimate geek and regularly confounds his friends with his latin and large vocabulary. He's enough of a bro to play pool and bowling with his friends though. Throughout the story he acts as the 'third friend' and also a coworker of Vincent's who updates him on the satellite's progress and other events going on. He lives next door to Greg, so he quickly became friends with him as well.

Life Stories shipped with a game development career, but noone in the game was even in it by default! With University Life adding it to the game, ive given Sherman a spot in the programmer branch of this career. Since the workplace is the Business spot, aka JCN, this works well. Both Sherman and Vincent thus work in the same building.

Gender pref:
Male -10
Female +10
Yup, despite his dorkiness, he does like the girls.

https://i.imgur.com/ps71xrJ.jpg
With a better pay than Greg, he has quite a better car, but still not too amazing. But hey, Sherman likes it.

Nerd's Den, remake of 104 Mountain View
right next door to Greg's house, I expected Sherman to have a nerd's paradise inside. Quite wrong actually. Whoever designed his house seems to have ignored his character entirely, as the only piece of tech in it, was his TV! Not even a single game console!?

https://i.imgur.com/iyavaEv.jpg
I get the feeling he inherited his family home, as it has so little character to it that relates to him at all.

https://i.imgur.com/sjYNtI3.jpg
I did give him a game console though. There is also a dissected PC in one of the bedrooms, tucked away for another day.

https://i.imgur.com/k2ujnCT.jpg
The upper floor is two regular bedrooms and bathrooms

https://i.imgur.com/hwxcfOr.jpg
I gave Sherman an upgrade and decked his room out with some nerdy things. The other bedroom is simply unused, till he needs more space and sells that old furniture off.

The Blaise Family

Kendra Blaise is a firefighter. A hot female firefighter. A dangerous female firefighter. A psych evaluation failed to detect that her love of fires bordered on pyromania!

https://i.imgur.com/KKcOF8H.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/CaY0XFW.jpg
Kendra is the greatest throwaway character in the four main Stories. She appears a single time in the story to ruin Vincent's first date with Naomi, then vanishes and never appears again; she cant even be contacted via the phone, despite not being a Family Bin sim, and having a phone. They could have accomplished this with a simple Townie. Shes said to be a firefighter, but as that isn't a career in Sims 2, shes merely unemployed like all sims except Vincent. In my remade version, she can indeed become a Firefighter! However, something about the career causes her to constantly quit it and become unemployed; maybe sims can only hold that career while playable? Still, she has the career at the time of upload, skill points related to it, and also has the Pyromaniac trait.

Only fitting that she has a civilian version of the pre-Ambitions firetruck.

Hot Property, remake of 18 First Street
This home had a hilarious problem in the original; the front door is locked, so Kendra cant get out. Maybe this explains why she never appeared again? Got locked in her own home xD. My version does not have the front door locked, as tempting as it was to reproduce. I didn't want to irritate people downloading the lot without knowing the joke.

https://i.imgur.com/rVr8CWm.jpg
The living room is quite well stocked with nerdy material; Kendra is a Knowledge sim afterall.

Kendra's room. Pretty bare of decoration, and hardly fitting her personality.

The Starr Family

The model of elegance of Bitville - the men just don't stand a chance. Alexa is fueled by an unlimited supply of coffee and a clear sense of what she wants. In her ongoing pursuit of lost chivalry, Alexa can't help but turn the heads of modern moguls in Bitville.

Download the Starr family here

https://i.imgur.com/YVkTEAJ.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/Xn5gCZ5.jpg
Alexa is the second blind date Vincent goes out with, and is a very talkative woman near-permanently buzzed with a coffee addiction; she is infact actually hardcoded to ALWAYS have the coffee jitters in TSLS. She's a poor listener however, and Vincent doesn't even get to introduce himself for the entire date, due to how much she talks. Unfortunately, Samantha sneaks in and bribes a chef to drug Alexa's food and causes her to pass out in her food; shes so embarrassed she leaves the restaurant right away, leaving a confused Vincent to wonder what on earth just happened. Later Vincent invites her over due to Greg's insistence, as he wants to ask her on a date.

Alexa is unemployed like all the rest in the original, but here shes in the Culinary career, matching her original LTW, and also ending up in the same career as Greg. She has all the various coffee beans in her inventory, as a joke :p

I gave Alexa a set of planters on her rear deck to grow coffee beans in; shes got all 5 variants there from the start.

https://i.imgur.com/ABPL7Xl.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/Z27uSYZ.jpg
Alexa has at least two bedrooms, like most sims in town. I gave her a coffee machine since she actually didn't have one in the original

https://i.imgur.com/qTR5iyG.jpg
Upstairs is the pool table and stereo, had to use moveobjects to get it in here, as tables in Sims 3 take up a lot more space. It still functions fine though, at least for one or two people.

https://i.imgur.com/s8OAsnl.jpg
The top level, basically just a rooftop hangout and a bathroom.

The Cullen Family

Johnathan Cullen is the founder of BitTech, and the greatest rival of JCN and its founder, Vincent Moore. Hes been engaged in a personal feud with Vincent ever since JCN relegated BitTech to second place, and is always looking for ways to get ahead, fair or not. He's come to Vincent's home town on business, and is determined to mess up JCN any way he can while he's here.

NOTE: Unofficial bio. The Cullen family is one of four that never had an official one.

Download the Cullen family here

https://i.imgur.com/RVNf7Ky.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/FPS80yS.jpg
Johnny Cullen is introduced as the business rival and enemy of Vincent, and also the new boyfriend of Samantha. As the plot progresses, she gets engaged to Johnny and pressures him into a quick marriage, while Vincent attempts to make sure shes actually doing it for happiness, and not to get under his skin (resulting in his house being set on fire and several items of his being destroyed). Johnny is later seen at the local shops and a brawl inevitably ensues between him, Vincent, Samantha and Naomi. Not too long after, his company goes under in a flash, as the success of Vincent's satellite causes all of BitTech's investors to pull out; ruined overnight, the ever-fickle gold digger Samantha breaks up with him on the spot. Poor guy, he doesn't actually do anything evil in the story, hes just a business rival. Afterwards, hes found in family bin, jobless and with only enough money to buy the cheapest house in town.

This version is meant to be a depiction of him before the story 'starts'; hes visiting town on business, staying in a rental home, and seeing what he can do to slow down JCN's constant progress that's putting his own company to shame. As such, he has a CEO position in the Business career, and the skills for the job.

As Johnny starts off with his sim file 'uninitialised', his interests and lifetime want are all randomised in Sims 2, giving me plenty of room to assign anything I needed.

Bitville Rental Home, remake of 22 2nd Street

The address of this home is an error, as the house is on the same street as Naomi, Sasha and Samantha, and Sasha lives at 22 Second Street; therefore this house is presumably actually 24 or 26 Second Street. The home is the only one that Johnny can afford, ignoring the remains of Naomi's home which she is likely to move back into if she survives the story.

https://i.imgur.com/TBcYZM0.jpg
Its a small little home, cozy for a vacation.

https://i.imgur.com/91Plev8.jpg
Upstairs has a single bedroom and bathroom.

The Oglethorpe Family

Dr. Oglethorpe's successful medical career has afforded him everything simoleons can buy, and he is well known around town for lavishly spending them. As he reaches his golden years, he wonders if maybe its time to find a partner to enjoy spending them with.

NOTE: Unofficial bio.

https://i.imgur.com/ZeFGFAD.jpg
Maximillion Oglethorpe is one of the three underdeveloped sims from the story without a bio, home, or any basic initialisation in his character files. Hes introduced in the story as a perfect way to get away from Sasha Aires on a blind date that's quickly getting too expensive; Maximillion is introduced as a friend and golfing buddy of Vincent's, and is referred to as a doctor, the only clue to his intended occupation. It is also said he loves to wildly spend his money on frivolous things and enjoys the finer things in life; a perfect match for the greedy Sasha. He is a Family sim however, instead of a Fortune sim, so its likely he'll have a family with Sasha if they hit it off...although his age makes a long relationship very unlikely without the more occult items in the game.

I gave him a level 10 Medical career to explain his funds and lifestyle, as well as Vincent calling him 'the good doctor Oglethorpe', the skills to match, and placed him in the home most likely for him to live in.

Contempo Cottage, remake of 108 Cliffside Drive

An exact copy of one of the TSLS-exclusive homes in the Lot Bin, I edited the home to give it paths and closed the rear pool to random visitors, aka paparazzi, since Max is likely to become a celebrity before he dies, given hes a World Renowned Surgeon. Also placed several trees around.

https://i.imgur.com/pzxykVa.jpg
As he enjoys golf, he has a spot here to play. Wanted to give Vincent one too, but he just didn't have room on that cramped lot.

https://i.imgur.com/AGWeohK.jpg
His house has been furnished by me using hints learned from the other homes; I decorated it to fit some of the Sims 2 aesthetics, while also showing off his wealth and habits of spending it on random things.

https://i.imgur.com/lk85EB0.jpg
The giant TV is definitely a giveaway.

https://i.imgur.com/433t1kB.jpg
His bedroom is simple enough, and unlike other homes, he doesn't have spare bedrooms.

https://i.imgur.com/GIdS8st.jpg
Instead he uses one of the rooms for science and medical things (In Sims LS, this is where I placed the Medicine career reward), and the other for piano music for when hes in the mood for classical. I had to change the structure of the stairs here too; in the original setup, snow somehow got through the roof and covered that central hallway.

https://i.imgur.com/Ul5Yzk1.jpg
The roof is dedicated to gaudy parties with all the party-friends he can buy.
