I've always been curious as to where Jacques Villareal's wife is and if she's dead. I've read lots of crazy theories, one of which is that Mila Munch is actually Jacques' wife! I personally believe Jacques killed her, or his actions got her killed, which made his son, Max, evil. Max resents his father and hides behind his bad boy act to appear tough against his father and everyone else. I thought I'd create a fun little poll to see how many Simmers believe certain theories.

I have two sims for that role, Sandra (my own invention) and Portia (from the GT trailers)SandraShe left Jacques when Max was a baby. They had gotten into arguments before, but Sandra was reluctant to leave, knowing a divorce would be hard for the twins. But when Max was born both parents agreed that Sandra should leave before he could bond to her. Despite their differences in world view Jacques and Sandra parted on surprisingly good terms, but then she disappeared. The children believe she got killed by rival criminals. The truth about Sandra's disappearance varies from save to save, sometimes she's a secret agent, sometimes the Landgraab mob killed her and sometimes Jacques ordered her death. But he never killed her with his own hands. PortiaShe's just noncommittal, but otherwise as much a criminal as Jacques. Depending on how I set up things she is the mother of all three Villareal kids as well as Brandon (also from the trailers) or of only a few of them. In saves where Portia exists I tend to re-unite the family, but I also love Jacques with Mila.

Some people say that the backstory is actually a reference to Bella's disappearance in The Sims 2. His wife was most likely quite younger than him and like Mortimer, he also has an older daughter and younger son. Both Mortimer and Jacques' wives disappeared under "mysterious circumstances".

I personally think that Max is a bad egg that, due to some unfortunate genetics combined with the way he was raised, made him a sociopath.I think he is an evil genius that killed his mom and managed to get away with it. I'm not sure about the details though, maybe someone that's better at story telling than me can think it up.

In my game she was Bella Goth's sister who was killed by Victor Feng and Nancy Landgraab to take control of Windenburg. Max was traumatized, Jacques went insane.

I just looked up Jacques’ traits and yup, I’d say he killed her. Seeing your other post as well...what if took care of her and Mila Munches husband as well cause she’s “good” and she didn’t want to go through with it

What happened to Jacques Villareal's wife?

I think he killed his wife...
However, I also think that Bella Goth is having some relationship with him...at least in my game, they were.

After the death of Mortimer, Bella was being widowed and living with her children in her house. One day when I switched their household into unplay and played with Alexander's household (he was living apart). Suddenly Bella called her son and asked if she should be a mother again. I (Alexander) said no, but she said she will go home and try for baby (I think most of you may know this kind of scenario)
Because of this reason, a baby girl was born. NO! Mortimer has already died, who is the dad of that baby?
I checked with her family tree and found out that the baby's father was Jacques.

Although I have installed MCCC (with story mode closed) and WickedWhims, I don't know why they're having such kind of relationship...they didn't even met in my game before. However, Jacques started to call Bella everyday after the birth of that baby girl...

I always thought Jacques was meant to have killed her.

Yes me too. However, since he's "erratic", I suspect that she disappeared either by leaving him, or died by accident.
(Remember, for a mystery, jumping to the most obvious conclusion is hardly ever the right one. ;) )
I've played it that way. Made his wife. Drowned to death. She is a ghost now.

They hate each-other (-friendship), but are still madly in love (+romance), heh heh! :D

I read the game's description of the family as subtext that indicated Jacques did the horrible deed as part of his madness and that's why his kids are various flavors of unhinged. Hugo dissociated, Luna regressed, and Max internalized all that pain and rage.

But I like your mentioning an intrigue between Jacques and Mila...I shipped them in one game just to see, and it was very strange. They got together as an arrangement of two landed gentry lacking a spouse/parent each, for mutual benefit. It was weird. Especially because Wolfgang had a thing for Luna. But before their respective parents sealed the deal officially, he and Luna got in trouble, and Jacques was ready to disappear Wolf with his bare hands, when he thought of something far better: make Wolf an offer he couldn't refuse, and train him in Jacques' organization, make him part of the family in all ways, and therefore keep him under Jacques' thumb, as well as make sure he did right by Luna. Instead of losing the family honor, he gained an underling and future son-in-law. Mila and he had to call off their own wedding, however. Mila being delighted to have a grandchild coming, and not being in any way in love with Jacques, saw the benefits of joining their families in what she supposed was the far more romantic way.

I forgot to add to the poll that some theorize that Bella Goth is actually his wife.

Yeah, that was my immediate conclusion, too!

Yep, also that basement in their house is very dodgy...
