So yeah, project recreating Sunset Valley sims- 14/14 complete. Can you tell who’s who? (Seriously… I’m not sure I could identify even half!)

Sam Sekemoto, Yumi Sekemoto, Leighton Sekemoto

Zelda MaeQueenie Landgraab?, Geoffrey Landgraab, Malcolm Landgraab, Nancy Landgraab

Thornton Wolff, Morgana Wolff, Jamie Jolina

Jared Frio, Claire Ursine?, Connor Frio, Erin Kennedy?

12/14 correct! The blonde in the blue is actually Nancy and the other one is Agnes Crumplebottom. Wow, you’re good at spotting Sims!

Right?!

Also, can I just point out how fricking great it is that you made this look so historical? I don’t believe it gets any more realistic and “correct” than this.

…

Well, I suppose the only way would be if we’d take a look at the “actual” years in which the Sims games came out… The original TS1 game came out in 2000 (if I recall correctly); then TS2 came out and it was said in the game itself (so in the “story”) that the events took place 25 years after the events of the original game (so that would mean TS2 takes place in 2025).

Then in TS3, with Bella Bachelor and Mortimer Goth as children and the Crumplebottoms and whatnot, the game/storyline took place 25 years before the original game, which would mean Sunset Valley, in fact, took place in… 1975.

I don’t think 1975 was what you were aiming for with these pictures, but nevertheless, I still stand behind what I said earlier: it is absolutely great that you actually made these Sims look like they’re from a different time era than the Sims in 1, 2 and 4. It only makes sense that the Sims in “earlier” towns like Sunset Valley don’t look as modern as their descendants in TS1 and TS2 do, y’know?

Hmm, now I’m just thinking how wonderful it would be if someone were to make a futuristic Pleasantview/Strangetown/Veronaville and a 1975 Sunset Valley… I so want this now!

EDIT: Actually, now that I’m thinking about it, could a 2025 Pleasantview be like post-apocalyptic in any way? Just imagine how amazing that would be… I’m really no good at this though…

Woooow. You put a lot more thought into this than I did! To be honest I just thought it might be nice to put some Sims in Edwardian clothes (saw whattheskells awesome clothes) and it kind of made sense to me that it would be the Sims 3 sims (the timeline is sooo wonky so- why not- and I always wanted to make some Sims 3 sims myself. )I actually can’t quite put my finger on timing in the Sims series- are there such things as 50′s, 70′s etc or are there just ‘basic’ times like ‘medieval’ (Dragon Valley, Sims 3, sort of Veronaville, Sims 2), ‘old timey’ (the Sims 3 town with the rollercoaster?), ‘retro’ (I can’t help it but Strangetown really reminds me of a retro desert town, with the Smiths and all), ‘modern’ and ‘future’ (Into the future)? How do Sim epochs work? Especially with more modern electronics in the past than future (Sims 2/Sims 3).

But now that you say it… a dystopian sims neighborhood would be awesome! And your ideas on timing in the Sims franchise are really interesting to read!
