[Updated!] Timeline Challenge | Mercutio Monty's Comeback!
What I did those days? I've started adding several challenges to my personal legacy, including intertwining different timelines from the others Sims games into my save. The kingdom of Ondarion was missing a member of the Monty dynasty, and since in the previous games I created drama between rival families and a secret child, I chose to bring them back here thirty years later.
So, welcome back, Mercutio Monty... and welcome to Helios Monty!
Mercutio is non-committal, shady, and confident. I tried to keep that "bad boy" vibe he had, while still loyal to his dynasty traditions. It's gotten older, but he still has his red flags!
Additional traits: active, gourmet.
Bonus traits: player, dastardly, essence of flavour, unhappy infant, irresponsible, great kisser, high confidence.
Helios is extroverted and materialistic. It’s unclear why he is so attached to his family inheritance, or why he has such magnetic eyes. His father surely knows something about that!
Bonus traits: happy infant, happy toddler, high confidence, creatively gifted.
UPDATE: I finally share them on the Gallery and started their lore!
From the household bio: "Mercutio was left alone with a child, born from a love he once believed would last forever. However, he has never stopped looking for her and hopes to find her in front of the statue of Bellacorde where they shared their first kiss. Helios has never met his mother, he doesn't even know what she looks like... or rather, he remembers she had his same eyes and blonde hair. He hopes to be able to meet her one day, even though he is aware that nothing would ever be the same again."
Our story begins back in The Sims 2: a romantic rivalry that evolved into a strong bond. Who would have said, however, that that same feeling would lead this "mysterious love" to leave Mercutio and Helios behind? Despite everything, he managed to lay the foundations for his son's future... even though he wants everything, right away.

Leaving Monte Vista wasn’t easy, but by moving to the kingdom of Ondarion, he hopes to finally see Helios growing up and become a gourmet chef like he wanted. Helios, however, doesn’t even know how to cook an egg. He much prefers getting into mischief and playing his favorite guitar. Mercutio had never thought he would have to live with a copy of himself from when he was a teen, those same memories that he lived and relived endlessly every day.
Who knows where his old love was... was she somewhere in Ondarion?
Maybe his brother Romeo knew something about her.
To be continued...
