Forgotten Hollow lore

Is it just me who really needs more lore about Forgotten Hollow? After seeing the level of lore the team create on packs like Werewolves and Enchanted by Nature i'm feeling very sad that Vampires didn't get much with its pack.

There's so many doubts we need answer about Forgotten Hollow and its characters (in-game or not): Did Vampires created Forgotten Hollow or did it existed before them? Who's Forgotten Lady? She's really a queen? Of vampires or other thing? Who really is Vasmer Balke despite of the writer of the Vampiric Encyclopedia? How does he looks? Was he a vampire, a normal human or a hunter? And who's Von Flavius? How does he looks? Where's his imporium? Where's Vladislaus' Hardware (coffin shop)? How do the gallery Vampires work? Where they come from? Whats their background? Are they supposed to work as families or clubs? The Nobles are just rich or do they rule anything? Does they relate to Vladislaus? How? And what about the trailer humans and vampires that didn't got into the game? Where d they fit in the world/story?

  • Good questions.

    I had fun creating my own lore. Not dealing with all those names you posted, but I'll stick to my version even if EA comes up with a more detailed lore in the future. I think it would be difficult adding a lore this many years after the relesase, because it would conflict wityh what simmersa created by their own. Perhaps we could share ideas instead?

    About canon lore i can only see them adding it through households and builds on their gallery, which would still make it optional.

    But, i'd love to read other simmers headcanons. I love creating my own based on them too. It's really fun when we don't have much canon information to deal with. 

  • Yeah as fun as some lore is I am not fond of necrolore cause it feels like stab in the back after spending all that time coming up with my own conspiracy theories and trying to guess what they were going for with these sims and coming up with my own ideas about their lore and trying to really dig into their personality as I know it just to be told its all wrong afterwards 😅

    like gee thanks for telling me its incorrect I'll be weird by myself then playing with my incorrect townie headcanons :<

    like for example my idea is that Vlad is meant to be into Judith Ward because she walks with her head held high exposing her lovely neck wherever she goes and also because vampires and celebs have always been tied together in past sims games

    if they suddenly did something like said Vlad only likes sims with red hair or whatever cause he is vampire it would totally destroy that interpretation I had of his character :<

    like I just dislike whenever that happens :/ no matter how small a change it is

    I understand what you're saying. Maybe they should stick to the unexistent sims like Forgotten Lady, Mr. Balke and Von Flavius. 

    And OMG, i really like your idea of Vlad and Judith. The most influent and hated sims together would be fire!!

    I also like to connect Vampires with Get Famous (and City Living). I like to think that Forgotten Hollow was taken by vampires (idk if totally or partially) and the premade vampires with creative aspirations are living on Del Sol Valley (others on San Myshuno) trying to expand the vampire empire. That's how i justify them not being present on Forgotten Hollow.
