Wowww
And here I was thinking that she was such a sweet kid.

The Inseminator hack has the pregnancy mod which shows pregrancy stats. Sims pregnancies last 75 hours. So a little longer than three days.  But I have nooticed that the game's mechanism tries to schedule the pregancy for when the woman is in a bad istuation either spatially or physically or mentally.  So it might be 71 hours but her bladder is red - well, then the baby will come when her bladder is at full red rather than after she has gone to the bathroom.  The game prefers if she is in a tiny room (the bathroom) so that when everyone comes to see the baby there will be a traffic jam. Or if at 70 hours she is really depressed but ti sgoing to watch television then the baby will come before she cheers up on TV shows. I don't know why the game set it up this way but actual hours are secondary to creating some kind of risky or troubling or otherwise dramatic scenario!

So Enhancer also shows Glarn as the dad.  I think that is proof positive that there are six related siblings.

OK
I'm sure everyone has already read about this somewhere but I can't put it to rest.  What is the deal with Strangetown family genealogy? 

Simpe and EA data do not match up.
Curious family
Just odd or just impossible?  Ok, it's odd that Jenny Curious married PT#9, the creature that inseminated her father.  But it's impossible that she would marry the thing and then not know that she has two sisters by him.  How creepy can you get?  SimPe shows Glarn Curious as the dad of the four Curious children Jenny, Pascal, Vidcund, and Lazlo.  In SimPE, he is also the "mother" of the two singles siblings Lola and Chloe. That makes six Sims who we should consider as two sets of related  siblings.  Somehow, though, they show up in the game as distinct, non-related, and worse - marriageable.  I mean Pascal, Vidcund or Lazlo can marry either Lola or Chloe.  There are lots of loose ends here.  First of all, EA has injected false memories into the game that just cannot be true.  Who was Glabe Curious and why do both Lola and Chloe Singles have memories of being potty trained and taught to talk by her?  Was she really Lola and Chloe's mother?  Was she Glarn Curious' sister?  In that case, there would still be some family tie.  Lola and Chloe would be cousins to the Curious siblings. But SimPe shows him as their  father and not the uncle.  So, I doubt that Glabe was their mother.  The potty traiing memories remain a mystery.  What about who raised the Single sisters? Neither one has any memory of either Glarn or Kitty Curious.  If PT is the biological father of the Singles siblings, then who was their adoptive father?    EA Games has included photos of Lola and Chloe as little girls in their photo album.  A red headed woman is instructing them about a man who does NOT show up anywhere in the game.  Is that supposed to be their father?  If so, he does not show in SimPE.  If PT is just their biological father, then why is he consciously aware of their existence like a real dad would be?  He constantly shows wants and memories associated with Lola and Chloe.  Is it possible that PT is really not the alien that inseminated Glarn Curious?  If he didn't, then who did?Huh?   Glabe Curious is in the game, she is dead but resurrect-able.  What stinks - EA games erases memories for dead Sims.  So we really can't tell by checking Glarn Curious or whoever.  His memory banks have been wiped.  What we need here is info from the creator of the Strangetown - who made Strangetown?
An anonymous EA employee or...?
Specter family
Weird and horror meet
Possible story line.  Patrick Jones leaves Olive Specter at the altar and it seems that she just can'tget over it.  (Check Specter family photo album) She becomes bitter and cruel and begins to lure men (and others) to their death.  She is first and foremost a black widow, who marries men and then somehow kills them.  She marries Rigger Mortis, a rich, older Sim and then knocks him off.  Early Demise, and Tim(e)ly Demise, Lou and Hugh Thanasia (get it?!? Tongue) and Rigger Mortis are all dead and buried in her back yard.  To be fair, two of her victims were siblings of her husbands.  Her last husband was Ichabod, who also died before her. Natch.   Apparently she so blood thirsty that she makes some sort of pack with the devil (Grim Reaper).  They do the wild thing (!) and poor Nervous is born.  Alternatively, was he adopted?  Secondly, Olive is a psycho mass murderer - many show up on her doorstep and disappear forever.  So went the maid, the pizza delivery person, the mail carrier, the repairman and some gender-confused teenagers - Luc and Melissa Sims.  Finally, she is quite a danger to her family.  The authorities repossess her kid, and she is doing a way wack job of raising her niece.  You have to wonder too, just how her younger sister and her husband died.  Sure is a lot of death around Olive Specter, she's a real menace to the community.  Genealogical question - is she the birth mother or the adoptive mother of Nervous?  Why do they have such distinct skin colors?  Did EA games deliberately choose to make him light skinned, knowing that he is supposed  to be the one character who is tortured and abused?   I mean it would be AWFUL to create a major game character who is supposed to be a victim, be abused, misused and tortured and then have him be dark skinned on top of all that.  Some people might just take that badly.  Could turn out to be pretty bad PR foor our buddies at EA.  The social worker seizes him and he is given to the Beakers (Circe and Loki).  Somehow, he grew up in the house. He has two or three memories of "growing up badly" after moving into their household.  That means that he arrived there either as a tiny baby or as a toddler.   Funny thing is, the Beakers did not adopt him, so how did he get there?  Erin singles, who also grew up in that household, does not have any memories of Nervous.  So I assume he moved in after she had already moved out. SimPe reveals two character files for Nervous Subject N002_User00004 and Nervous Subject N002_User00016.  I am guessing that one Nervous, #16 who is dead in the game, was actually tortured to death by Circe and Loki who both have ZERO nice in their personalities.   Then EA  has created another Nervous ' #4.  This Nervous is still alive when we get the game. Did EA game clone him?  Anyway, what is the psychology behind all this?  I used to love the game's fluffy irony and lightweight social commentary.  But this is just weird.  What are we laughing at here?  Should Nervous be a joke, when there are real children going through foster care nightmares out there?  I guess I wish that the game showed more sympathy for Nervous.  For the Specter household - the bottom line is - what is this doing to the black population in Strangehood?  Tongue  By the time we get there, only Olive and poor Ophelia are left!  More efficient then the Klux Klan! Shocked

That's all for now.  Your comments appreciated.

I'm not the only one wondering about this stuff.
5  TS2: Burnination / The Podium / Re: Adoption Problems on: 2006 January 09, 18:34:37
Hmmm
Have you thought about cleaning out your saved sims folder?  The source of your problem could be a bad download.  At one point my game was crashing  everytime I tried to create a family.  I discovered that the create-a-sims module loads all possible skins and saved sims into memory.  If anyone of those files are corrupt or defective, then the game will crash.  It's probably the same for adoption because the game is probably loading the same material necessary to generate a new Sim.  You may have a bad skin (or clothing or whatever) file loaded.   What I suggest is - try running Content Manager on your download folder.  I don't know if you have it already - if not,  it can be found on the EA site (under help, I think). It's the equivalent of Files Cop for the old sims I game.  People make the mistake of only running Sims2Pack Installer.  That tool is great for many things but it can't detect corrupt files.  CM is not the most sophisticated tool ever made, but by trial and error and a little elbow grease I think it could help you  solve your problem.  In my case, I had downloaded two dress files.  The files were tiny but they were crashing the game in Create -a-Family mode.  When I took these 2 files out, the game returned to fnormal. Let me know how it works out.

Barathon;
You piqued my interest when you mentioned the connection between the Grim Reaper and Nervous.  I took a look at the Grim Reaper - I'd never thought to do that before.  I discovered that it's a woman (how sexist can you get) fair, brunette and fairly normal looking.  But you say that Nervous is her clone and gender inverted.  I take it that you mean genetically but not phsyically? Physically, they  look nothing like each other. Olive specter has a memory of having woohoo'd with the Grim Reaper - but I'm not sure if that makes the Grim Reaper Nervous's "father".  Whewww... I'm going to start a thread on mixed up genealogy in Strange town.
7  TS2: Burnination / The Podium / Re: Had an accident, now he's dead? on: 2006 January 01, 19:27:08
I  know exactly what you mean! The game is big on killing people while you're not looking.  I have noticed that a Sim can get trapped between those new, stylish chairs.I went to use the resurrection tool that comes with the Inseminator and THEN discovered that somehow Crystal Vu from Strangetown had died.  I'd noticed that she was complaining about being trapped between two chairs, but it seemed so ridiculous, that I really didn't pay any attention.  It was during a wedding party, she got lost in the sauce, the next morning she was already dead from being trapped between those two chairs!  It's hard to know how to take these sort of EA induced disasters.  Did they do this by accident or is this part of some plan to spice up the game and/or weed out the Sims?

I like this hack.  It's really kinda fun.  But I do think that it goes a tad too far.  Truth is that a lot of people really do walk around naked - especially at when only they and their "significant other" is at home.   I really wonder tho', if so many little kids would be walking around nude.  Especially in front of their parents and strangers.  I have tried to change the setting but it seems that you have it set up as an "all  or nothing" sort of thing.  Could you fix it so that kids do not walk around nude in front of their parent and visa versa?
9  Awesomeware / The Armory / Re: No Baby Harassment on: 2006 January 01, 16:50:41
Not totally off the subject but -
Have you thought of using FBA?  When I start up a family on eof the first things I do 5with Testing CheatEnabled on° I enable FBA.  I understand tht there are two versions, FBA 1 and FBA 2, but I only know how to put FBA 1 on.  In any case FBA (Find Best Action)  stops nutso and destructo actions like burning food, taking a baby up to the third floor of the house to use the potty when there's a potty two Sim feet away, feeding the kids repeatedly or (for the Nanny) playing video games while the child starves to death. 
10  TS2: Burnination / Peasantry / Re: REPOST - Phedge's No Welcome Home on: 2006 January 01, 16:31:19
Wow... And here I was thinking that it was kinda nice that little kids love their parents enough to run and hug 'em.  Sure beats coming home and nobody cares, if you ask me.  Seems like it's one of the few humane things that EA/Maxis did put in the game... but that's just me.
11  TS2: Burnination / Peasantry / Re: NEW - Hedge: The Date Doctor on: 2006 January 01, 16:25:09
I think that JM Pescado might be offended by the message.  What's up here?  Am I missing something?
12  TS2: Burnination / The War Room / Re: Correcting the DNA of Strangetown premade characters on: 2006 January 01, 15:52:23
Olive Specter and Nervous Subject
I think that their DNA doesn't match because Olive adopted him.  If you check in Olive's memory banks, in between the memories of tons of people dieing (!), you'll find that she has the memory of having her adopted child taken away.  (And just how did all those people die on her property? Hmmmm) The game includes a photo of a couple wearing mohawks putting up a baby for adoption.  I assume  that that baby was Nervàous.  I'll open the game and check to see wherther Nervous has memories of beig adopted and of who raised him.

Also, I don't get why you say that Alien skin is dominant.  Why would that be the case?  If an Alien were to inseminate some unfortunate human, I would think that its genes would ALL be recessive since they are reproducing in a foreign, if not hostile environment and under artificial circumstances. I'm thinking that the alien genes would be at a disavantage, hence recessive.  If you know something about why alien skin is dominanat then tell on.
