When townies attack

The first rule of Fight Club.

Is it neighborhood brawl day? That's a holiday that randomly spawns on the calendar. I think it's awesome, but if you don't you can just delete it like you would any other holiday.

EDIT: Never mind, there's the answer:

IL has unique things too, like neighbours bringing you food or putting out fires. StrangerVille has the infected sims and SIBs (Sims in Black).

I like these details because it adds a little uniqueness to the sims in the world, in addition as to the uniqueness of architecture, terrain and weather.

EL has special roles added to premades which you can add to any sim via cheats (or get added to randoms if that sim dies). Bess's investment scams opportunities, Knox's green crusade etc.

Oh, that's awesome! I knew about the infected sims in StrangerVille, but I've yet to see the SIBs. I built a rental house in StrangerVille and one of the families I originally created for TS2 and recreated for TS4 lives in another house I built there, but I don't actively play that family in my current game.

I've been playing in Windenburg exclusively for the past year or so, and my current story involves three main, multigenerational families who each "own" a district in Windenburg - one family has the entire island, one has Old Town, and one has the countryside. (I emptied the entire town, bulldozed all the premade houses, built a bunch of new houses, and populated Windenburg with these three families.)

My main household lives on the island in Windenburg. I check on my other families from time to time but don't actively play those households, so I had no idea the Windenburg "Brawlers" were a thing! That's hilarious! :D

Also amusing (to me) is the fact that I unknowingly put the "normal" family in Old Town where all the nutty stuff happens (and Gen 1 of the "normal" family lives in a house I built to replace the original Proprietor's Square lot, and that's where the random mailbox brawl happened in my game!) Ha! :D

I'd love to learn more about the different quirks/NPC roles in different neighborhoods/worlds. Is there info online about it? I Googled it but didn't have much luck finding anything. Any suggestions on where I could go to learn more? I kinda want more brawlers! :D

Bess was found face down in a pool fully surrounded by a high fence in my sim world. A police spokesman said the case went cold when they couldn't narrow the pool of suspects down any further than "literally everybody in the solar system."

Last night I started and completed both Deviance aspirations (Public Enemy, Chief of Mischief) with "help" from the Windenburg Brawlers.

Passed on these in the past, but when everyone despises you these aspirations become so much easier.

In my case it was one of my own Sims (a kid) who attacked my hero in a viscious way, so the kid was not a brawler. But is was in connection to the life sized chessgame with livwe pieces near the library

My Sim got attacked/chased around by a dog (the lot I was playing was a dog hangout so that strays just come in whenever they like).

It was hysterical.

Whaaaat? This is the second post I've read this week that is moving this pack from don't want to almost gotta have. Now I'm wondering which of my sims could become a Master Brawler ;)

I’ve had the pack since the beginning too, and never noticed fighting. Maybe I have too many packs, and too many of my own people in the game.
