What happened to Mila Munch's children's father?

Tbh I haven’t given him much thought. Always just assumed he died.

So...funny story about this..

I have Mila's younger son, Lucas, as a playable Sim-he married the oldest daughter of one of my households. They actually met as kids when her father joined the garden club. I never pay much attention to the pre-mades, so I assumed that Lucas must have been the son of Bjorn, the garden club's leader. (I mean, why else would this little kid be in a gardening club when kids in TS4 can't garden!) So, I wrote him that way. I had this whole thing about how Bjorn thought Daisy (my Sim who he eventually married) was a bad influence because she gave Lucas VoidCritter cards, and she would invite him over so they could watch the show in secret...and then when they were teenagers I noticed the last names.

So, I had to come up with a different backstory (very, very quickly) to explain the fact that I'd had Lucas refer to Bjorn as his father on several different occasions. I ultimately decided that Lucas's father had never been around, but when Lucas was very young Mila had a relationship with Bjorn to the point where Lucas saw him as a father figure...until she discovered Bjorn had a wife and daughter of his own.

Lesson learned-always make sure you know which pre-made house is which if you're bringing someone in!

LOL...in the beginning it's easy to confuse Sims in Windenburg - too many blonde Sims! ?

I always thought he was Jacques... In one of my saves she married Don Lothario though. ?

I love this speculation. It raises the question, who was her wife? Is this family he had a second family of him?

I think Mila is also the mother to Jacques kids. Hugo has an especially strong resemblence to her. Maybe she had an affair with Bjorn that resulted in Lucas. Jacques got angry and they divorced. He got custody of 3 kids and she has the other 3? Maybe thats why Wolfgang is so rebellious. He misses his dad or sees his rebelliousness as way attract his father's attention.

Random theory: she baked him into a pie

This has always been my theory. Mila MUNCH? C’mon, the clue’s right in the name. She ate him.

I love that theory about baking pies, lol. Personally I think he couldn't take all the kids and responsibility involved and took off with a bimbo that hangs around the Orchid A Go Go, I think that's the name. :p

My back story was that the dad divorced her for another woman and then died. I didn't put two and two together that Mila could be behind it.

I just played her out as a frumpy old mother while her sons grew up. Gunther's daughter, Greta, bears some resemblance so I definitely say they are her biological kids. She was friends with Clara Bjergsen, both of whom were left by their husbands and liked being independent mothers.

You all have me beat with the pies and the affairs. I did not put that much thought into her.

Could add a sad element to the Upper Crusts, too. Like it's the only time she gets to actually see Hugo. And maybe Wolfgang and Luna could be twins? So he rebels not just because he's frustrated at his family being split apart, but also because he feels his twin abandoned him to join the Paragons, and being a Renegade is his way of going, "Well FINE, I don't need you!"

Lucas and Max appear to be around the same age, I wonder if they have different mothers as well? (So they're not actually siblings at all - Lucas's parents are Mila and Bjorn, Max's are Jacques and someone else. Maybe Max's mother was going to reveal all these affairs going on and that's why she 'disappeared'? :open_mouth: )

Edit: Okay, how's this for drama?

Gunther is eldest. Parents are Mila and an unknown Mr Munch. Something happens to him - dies, runs off, something like that, when Gunther is little. Depressed, Mila turns to Jacques and has twins Wolfgang and Luna, and later Hugo with him. Wolfgang is only a few years older than the twins (say, he's 19, the twins are 17, and Hugo is 15) and isn't aware of his mother's relationship with Jacques.

Jacques, however, is a pretty terrible parent and partner, and is frequently out of the picture. Mila has an affair with Bjorn, resulting in Lucas. Around the same time, knowing that his relationship with Mila is ending, Jacques gets some other woman pregnant, resulting in Max. This other woman is going to spill the beans on all these secret affairs and relationships going on, and Jacques, er, removes her from the picture soon after Max is born. At this point, Gunther is 9, the twins are 7, and Hugo is 5. They're not quite sure about the relationships going on, but Gunther and Wolfgang ARE old enough to know that Hugo and Luna are going to live with their father and they're not to talk about it or bad things might happen.

Wolfgang is angry and frustrated. He joins the Renegades partially out of rebellion, partially to reject Luna for her perceived abandonment, and partially to keep an eye on Max, who he now knows is his younger half-brother. Max doesn't know that Wolfgang is his half-brother, or that Luna and Hugo are only his half-siblings. Lucas sort of suspects that he, Wolfgang, and Gunther all have different fathers because they all look very dissimilar, but doesn't know the details. And hopefully he doesn't get any crushes on Elsa, his half-sister...

In my game he is dead. Mila has remarried and is much happier. Gunther has finally moved out and married as well.
