Sims Life Stories: Four Corners - lots and sims rebuilt for Sims 3
https://i.imgur.com/HmbQw2C.png For the last few months, I have been remaking various odds and ends from Sims 2 and its spinoffs inside Sims 3 as a sort of personal challenge. Today I have complete...
Riley Harlow had been living in Sim City all her life, until she lost her job. Facing eviction, Riley turned to the one person she could count on, her aunt Sharon. Sharon had always been kind enough to help Riley out in a pinch, so Riley arranged to stay at her aunt's house in the suburb of Four Corners until she was back on her feet.
Her friends at college used to call her "Sharon the Librarian," so after making a killing in the stock market she decided to come to Four Corners to get out of her shell. She still loves a good book, though.

The main character of the story, Riley Harlow comes to live in Four Corners with her aunt Sharon Foss, and gets drawn into a plot to steal her aunt's riches by her ex-boyfriend from college, and also falls in love with the town's ladies man, eventually marrying him and having children with him. In the Freeplay version, her life is much darker, as her family is gone, her future husband no longer exists, and the villains of her story have mysteriously vanished from the town. She also starts the game with her aspiration bar in deep red, and wishes to be a cop, instead of wanting a job in the film industry. During the optional tutorial, which only occurs once on a fresh install, the game introduces Riley to a specific townie, Debbie Gonzaga, and says the two are friends, but the game doesn't actually set this up.
Official gender preference from game files: Male: +10 Female: -10
Official relationships with other residents, adapted to Sims 3's single relationship bar: Sharon: 100 Dylan: Ex-boyfriend, neutral relationship (Jumps to friend level after meeting him again) Debbie: Friend status

Technically Sharon owns the house, but due to the way the story works, you effectively own the house, while Sharon is actually a family bin sim present on the lot when the game loads. Later in the story when Sharon returns, she will be temporarily moved in as an unselectable NPC, during this time she counts as living with you. I've kept things exactly as the game does it, but feel free to merge the two. However, at the end of the story, Sharon moves out, giving Riley her house as a gift, and then moves into one of the empty homes in the nieghbourhood of the player's choosing. Sharon is a millionaire (The second richest official Sim in the whole series!), so having her start off with Riley as a playable sim, kinda ruins any and all gameplay, as Riley doesnt actually know her aunt is rich. She is not present in Freeplay, and her house is still present, completely untouched with no changes. Its as if she vanished off the face of the earth. She has no gender preference, but does have a date with an unknown sim at the end of the story, someone she met on the internet, so romance isnt out of the question.
Male: 0 Female: 0
Riley: 100

The mother of Jane Harlow, and the sister of Sharon Foss, Jane's whereabouts have been unknown to both for some time.
This is Jane Harlow, Riley's mother, and Sharon's sister. She isnt present in the original game, and I was unable to find the mention of her that the sims wiki insists is in there. This sim is completely my own creation, and is a blend of Riley and Sharon's DNA, existing to connect the two on the family tree, otherwise Riley will be able to flirt with her aunt D: She is not included in the lot files, but will be present in a custom graveyard, so that players can use Master Controller to connect the dots on the family tree, or to revive her as a townie if they choose.
10 Hyacinth Circle, the player's home base for the Four Corners story. Wasnt much of a hassle to convert, but some of the original wall patterns were a pain to emulate. Also, the broken door to Sharon's bedroom is naturally, a working door in this version :D
The Freeplay version is absolutely identical, even the aforementioned broken door is the same.
