TS2 to TS3 - Goth Family  

Hi again! Today I finally finished my TS2 versions of the Goth family & home!
I hope you guys like them, they were so much fun to make & I can't wait to drop them into my legacy neighborhood to see what kind of trouble they get into :)

(don't forget to check out The Pleasants!)

The Goth Family


- Bella, Mortimer, Cassandra & Alexander Goth -


Goth Manor
If you go back & look at the manor from TS2 you will see I made a few changes, mainly the fact I hated the windows they used so I instead choose to use new ones which I think look much better. I also used a more ~epic door & put stone on the main part of the house. But other than that it's a copy of the TS2 version! :)




*gravestones are just debug items*


Lot Size: 30x30

Requirements:
Ambitions + Generations
OMSP with shifting
(you should already have this anyway! It's the only omsp you need in game)


Mort! One of the best sims EVER in a sims game, & his TS2 child self was near perfection & required hardly any editing at all. Just a little fix for his eyes & making his head a bit smaller :P Other than that this is simply the child Mortimer you find in your own game.

  • Ambitious
  • He has a lot to live up to in life!
  • Artistic
  • He always seems to have this trait, I bet if he didn't have such a scientific interest he would be one of those guys in black that goes to coffee shops & reads gothic poetry or something :P
  • Friendly
  • I was actually surprised to read he was an outgoing guy, I dunno why it surprised me, guess I tend to cling to the dark & gloomy version of the Goth persona -lol!
  • Genius
  • GOD DO U SEE MY TYPO UP THERE!? GOD I need to stop doing this stuff at 3 in the morning!!!!! *bangs head on desk* ANYWAY -duh, Mort is a smarty pants!
  • Grumpy
  • I remember, the first time I tried to get him to marry one of my sims in TS3, how freaking HARD it was to get this guy in a decent mood b/c of this trait! Yet it has become an odd favorite of mine :)



Oh, Bella, you may not have been 'officially' in the Goth family during TS2, but how could I leave you out!!?? She is a very heavily edited version of the TS3 Bella who is HORRID! I mean really now, EA, how on earth could you make this iconic sims character so goddang freaking ugly!? Well, now she isn't! SO THERE!

  • Artistic
  • Can't you just see her & Mort having big talks about art together? SO CUTE!
  • Brave
  • She had this trait as a child & I think, to live in Goth Manor, you really do need to have this trait -ha!
  • Friendly
  • She & Mort share 2 traits <3 So cute!
  • Good
  • I believe she had this in TS3 as a child as well, I guess this fits with her being a lovely socialite who probably spends all her time raising money for charities <3
  • Lucky
  • Did I give her this trait? Did the game? Geesh it's been days since I made her so I cannot recall... & have absolutely no explanation for why she has this trait -lol!



ISN'T SHE ADORABLE! Ohmygod I just got so excited by her looks when I was fixing her up! She is as thin as you can get in game & has hardly no boobs -heehee! Gosh, I love Cassie so much, one of my all time fav sims & probably the one I played the most in TS3! Though I always made sure she got left at the alter by Don b/c I loved her little mental breakdown :x
(Anyone else miss the awesomely hilarious breakdowns? I DO!)

  • Bookworm
  • She looks the cliche of a bookworm -but psh still love that trait for her
  • Family-Oriented
  • She was a family sim in TS2 so therefore she must have this trait!
  • Genius
  • Cute & can explain physics to you? Why yes, she is perfection!
  • Neurotic
  • Lulz, I couldn't help but give this to her, it's one of my favorite traits & I guess just remembering her mental breakdown in TS2 makes this a must trait for her!
  • Shy
  • DAW! Cassandra makes me gush with love so therefore she needs a DAW worthy trait.



Did anyone else name any male child Mort & Bella had in TS1 Alexander? I DID! So when I saw that WAS their kids name in TS2 I kinda had a super excited moment -ha. In TS2, after Mort married Dina & died I always had ~awkward~ Alex have an affair & sometimes marry Dina for the scandal of it all! So he would end up being the step-dad & brother to any kid Dina & Mort had :x

  • Ambitious
  • I always tended to play him super ambitious & goal oriented to the point he never even looked around at other girls/guys his age... which, ahem, is why he always ended up with Dina!
  • Genius
  • Seems to be a Goth MUST trait!
  • Neurotic
  • I almost didn't give him this trait since Cassie has it, but in the end I did it anyway -maybe growing up in the same house with ghosts all over made them this way!



BONUS SIM! Michael Bachelor, aka Bella's older brother! Don't remember him? He was in TS1 & was a ghost in TS2 since he was the previous husband of gold digger Dina Caliente! Which, if you think about it, seems like it was Dina's IN with Mortimer since she was married to his brother-in-law :O Anyway, I just had to add him in & hope to marry him off to Dina once I make her!

  • Information about Michael:
  • I forgot to copy his traits & things down, but he is an Astronaut!

Where is Agnes?
I love Agnes in TS3 & who can forget her in previous games!? But I just didn't like anything I was coming up with in CAS for her previous game looking self -sigh. But I still may tackle her later on :)


please read
Where do the house/family files go?
- Place them in your Sims 3 directory under the Library folder. (example: MyDocuments/ElectronicArts/TheSims3/Library)

Where do the sim files go?
- In your Saved Sims folder(example: MyDocuments/ElectronicArts/TheSims3/SavedSims)

You WILL need sliders for these sims to appear correctly!
- I use Awesomemod & its slider mod (check out my awesomemod information link on the left side of my journal). Other mods work yet, to me, not as well as Awesomemod. Find all sliders with this custom search Lazy? Don't want to hunt up sliders? That is okay, TAKE MY ENTIRE SLIDER FOLDER RIGHT HERE!

Please do not claim my sims as you own even if you edit them a little.
- But feel free to use them in your legacies -just be sure & let me know so I can read & enjoy!

Love your re-dos of TS2 characters. They were pretty much the reason I went back to TS2 from time to time while playing TS3. And I absolutely adore the Goths, and your version of Pleasants.
And it seems we played our games with those characters pretty similarly... xD
Nicole[info]tiptoehappiness on January 7th, 2012 12:19 pm (UTC)
It was the reason I loaded TS2 onto my laptop as well! But I just can't go from TS3 to TS2 b/c of graphics & gameplay being so lacking in TS2 :/ So it was the reason I had to bring back all these iconic characters -woot! So so so glad you like & hope you enjoy them!

Ah, all your remakes are awesome! It's cool to be able to see their TS3 versions, as I'm playing the sims 2 game a lot at the moment <3
They look so scary, but are all too cute!!
Nicole[info]tiptoehappiness on January 7th, 2012 12:19 pm (UTC)
TY! LOL, yeah I hurriedly tried to make them look a bit gothic in their picture -though it was rushed since I just wanted to get the upload out :P LOL! But ty!
Kaitlyn[info]velvetbox on January 6th, 2012 07:34 pm (UTC)
omggg i just love them so much!! my favorite sims family everrr lolol and that house is also perfection!

Nicole[info]tiptoehappiness on January 7th, 2012 12:20 pm (UTC)
LOL I think they are the only family I NEVER had cheat at any point :O Usually I really enjoy ruining a sims life -ha!

Thank you SOOOOO much for doing this!
And thank you for fixing up Bella! I was so dissapointed with the sims 3 version of her- thanks for bringing her sexy back.
Nicole[info]tiptoehappiness on January 7th, 2012 12:21 pm (UTC)
Whee, so so glad you are glad! & HOLYCRAP dude, ikr I couldn't BELIEVE how ugly Bella was when I saw her in TS3!! It was part of the reason I always snagged Mort up when he was a teen/YA to get with one of my own sims to save the poor guy from such a horrid future wife -ha!

Your sims are near from perfection, I absolutly love how they look, you havn't simply reproduced them, but you added them more personnality than they had. Sonia is absolutly stuning, I love her, like the rest of the family.

Seriously, I rarely download sims from other people, but I absolutly love them, so I will not hesitate :p

Just a quick question... it is possible to know where you downloaded some clothes or accessoiries you used ? I love all their outfits, Sonia's necklace and Cassandra's earings.
Nicole[info]tiptoehappiness on January 7th, 2012 12:28 pm (UTC)
Oh wow -thank you so much! *dances around*

& um... well I can try by looking at the pictures to recall where I got some things, I really hate how, if a creator does not make a custom logo for their thumbnails, we never know who made what in CAS :/ It makes sharing where we got things so annoying -sigh.

I think Cassandra's dress is from Rusty Nail & I know Bella's necklace is from Natalie @ TSR but I can't remember where Bella's hair is from. Though I do think her dress is by someone at TSR. & I /think/ Cassandra's earrings are by Natalie as well!
Sarah[info]uselaforce on January 6th, 2012 11:30 pm (UTC)
I was just about to snag your remakes of the Pleasants and then BAM– I see you've done my absolute favorite TS2 family! Both families are so wonderfully done, thank you for sharing them! I'm definitely gonna plunk them in a legacy neighborhood or two if that's alright with you~ (:
Nicole[info]tiptoehappiness on January 7th, 2012 12:29 pm (UTC)
Whee, so glad you like them! I can't wait to see them running around your legacy <3

You're a sim-creating MASTER xO *pops confetti*

Hmmm, I'd like to see what the Monty's and the Capp's look like ;)

Great job! ^_^
Nicole[info]tiptoehappiness on January 7th, 2012 12:33 pm (UTC)
HA -I wish I was! & you are talking about Veronaville -right? You know, I actually rarely ever played that 'hood at all. I loved the layout though & used to clean out the place to use to create my own personal neighborhood -lol! But I do want to tackle them all as well -I loved their houses!

I think I may tackle Veronaville before Strangetown actually, simply b/c I know EA is planning on releasing an Alien themed hood very soon & I am kinda hoping they may add some goodness to the game .... maybe.... I hope!

ABOUT CC
Do you have a CC list for the sims, or a link to were we can get your remake versions? ;~; there just so damn bootiful.
Nicole[info]tiptoehappiness on January 7th, 2012 12:36 pm (UTC)
Re: ABOUT CC
Ah, thank you so much! And actually I do not have any kind of list, but I find all my downloads off of http://mysims3blog.blogspot.com/ Which is a lifesavor for keeping up with CC!

But then there is the pay TSR stuff (stupid tsr sigh why do those bastards have such great stuff?) that is actually what is mostly on Bella up there I believe. Rusty Nail is where I got Cassandra's dress though! http://blog.naver.com/jinhee_a/

Hi people,
Bella's dress is from Harmonia09 @TSR.
It calls xmas metallic stretch maxi dress.
Does anybody know where her hair's from?
Amy Parkison[info]Amy Parkison on April 9th, 2012 06:39 am (UTC)
The hair is a Peggy hairdo - it's Peggy 830. I got it from Anubis. Hope this helps!
