UPDATE:The unknown Sim can finally come home to Sunset Valley (or wherever else you may want to place him), all thanks to JoAnne65. Download him here:Deanhttps://nl.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=9261844=====Hello Fellow Simmers! This is more or less a chit-chat type of thread based on something I saw. So, I was on the wikia the other day when I noticed something strange or, shall I say someone strange. The banner picture that's shown for the Sims 3 page shows some of the original townies for Sunset Valley except for one Sim. There is a muscular male Sim, dressed in a beige outfit, wearing glasses and tennis shoes, who I cannot place. Maybe he was to be a townie in the game when it was developed, but they changed their minds? Maybe he represents the (unknown) Sims that we make and introduce to the world. Or, maybe he is an earlier design of another Sim (I'm thinking Christopher Steel, based on the stance). Or maybe he's from an earlier game (Sims 1 or 2).Here's why I suggest Christopher Steel. I've long believed that Christopher Steel is based off of the duality of Superman. 'Man of Steel' played by 'Christopher Reeves'. Plus, banner-guy is young, clearly muscular, has a heroic stance and wearing glasses (like Clark Kent) with a full head of hair. Meanwhile, in-game Christopher Steel is the exact opposite. He's young but looks older, his hair is receding, he's not muscular and he doesn't wear glasses. He's the perfect opposite Clark Kent/Superman. Also, banner guy is positioned between Vita Alto (evil) and Geoffry Landgraab (good).So, Who do you think banner-guy is? The Sims Wikihttp://sims.wikia.com/wiki/The_Sims_3

I would Say it could be Marty Keaton as well :-)

Or, maybe a differently designed Stiles McGraw (going by the hair) and the fact Tamara is standing by him. Marty is a good guess as well since he is athletic and does wear khaki colored clothing.

Just looked at the picture.https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/sims/images/2/2e/The_Sims_3_Installation.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/670?cb=20130719065509He’s indeed unknown (to me). It could be George Dean with a different hair style? George Dean is a muscular Riverview townie who is a police man and lives in Riverview. The sim reminds me of him.

Is that Justine Keaton standing next to him? If so it could be an early version of Marty Keaton. Could be the creator's sim self. :)

@JoAnne65 - Since all of the other Sims in this shot are in Sunset Valley, I imagine he would be (or would have been, if they removed him) too. There are definite design changes in this render (Thank you for posting it, btw) such as Geoffrey Landgraab doesn't look nearly this nice in-game, nor is VJ that slim and Vita definitely doesn't have a soft smooth face :D!@cwaddell - That's Tamara Donner standing besides him. It's possible he could be the rendered Simself of the person who created this render. Or, someone involved on the team. Whoever he is, they have him standing in the front row.

Yes, but it is possible of course they created characters for both worlds (since Riverview was available right away they must have been working on both worlds simultaneously) and then maybe last minute decided to move George to his firehouse in Riverview? Like the Kent household, that was featured in a promotional video before Sims 3’s release (Kim Kent, Piper Hipp and Liam O'Dourke). This household was not included in the final product (though they were available for download) and then Liam showed up as a townie for Hidden Springs years later.

@JoAnne65 - Yep, it is entirely possible he could have been a temporary resident in Sunset Valley. I didn't get to this party until 2012, so I missed the launch of this game. I knew Riverview was offered as an incentive but, I had no idea if it was available upon release or came shortly thereafter. So, yeah, he could currently be a resident of another world. Whoever he is, I think he's very cute and would like to re-create him and add him to my Sunset Valley game. I think I would create him as a Metro Journalist (keeping with the Clark Kent idea) ;).

I believe it became available a few days in..? I joined in December 2009 and discovered I could download an extra world a few weeks later, so I don’t know from experience either, but I believe pretty right from the start. It would have been nice if they’d done the same for this sim as they did for the Kent household sims, have them available for download. We could use this topic to try and recreate him!

As far as I can recall Riverview was available during the first week - I had to wait a few days for my pre-ordered copy of Sims 3 to be available to collect but I'm pretty sure Riverview was there when I first looked for it in June 2009 after registering my game.

I couldn't resist and tried to recreate him for you :)

He's in my Studio if you like him.

(ignore his name and all, I took George Dean as a starting point but you can do with him as you like obviously)
