RE: Ending the Family feud
I wasn't too impressed on your character Dr. Prometheus Hyde's methods of ending the family feud. I felt that there were better solutions available. However this could be just because I have different opinions on how to end Sim family feuds. -- —Preceding unsigned comment added by C.Syde65 (talk • contribs) - Please sign your comments with ~

I think I understand a bit more to why you ended the family feud. I think I was blinded by the other options I had in my own Sims stories myself.C.Syde65 (talk) 21:07, December 21, 2013 (UTC)

Kent Capp and Nervous Subject
Yeah Kent Capp and Nervous Subject are very different. They probably don't have all much in common besides what you said about them. I think I was just inspired by what you said in Strangetown Monty 1.09 Saved about comparing Loki, Circe and Nervous with Cornwall, Regan and Kent respectively.C.Syde65 (talk) 20:58, December 21, 2013 (UTC)

About Aspects
I think your stories have a greyer aspect then mine because I illustrate and write them more or less in a similar style to the developers. Whereas your show doesn't seem to inherit any of the original style from the game developers. Also I don't do machinima which is one of the many explanations to not having more grey aspects.

Battles
When you say that you treat Pleasantview Sims like Mortimer's current family, what is that supposed to mean? C.Syde65 (talk) 22:24, December 30, 2013 (UTC)

I got into Pleasantview, almost immediately. Veronaville took me maybe one or two days. It took me a few months to get fully into Strangetown. These days I visit all three neighbourhoods frequently. But my set order from favourite to least (out of the base game neighbourhoods) is based on how long it took me to get the hang of the pre-set storylines. All three neighbourhoods are the best ones in the Sims 2, although Belladonna Cove was good for a change.

I think Pleasantview should still be the most popular out of the three base game neighbourhoods, but I agree that the popularity of the three neighbourhoods should be more balanced. C.Syde65 (talk) 04:49, December 31, 2013 (UTC)

Pleasantview is the heart of the Sims 2 I think. Veronaville and Strangetown aren't necessarily there as an added bonus. But it is obvious why Pleasantview comes out on top. C.Syde65 (talk) 21:57, January 10, 2014 (UTC)

I guess Strangetown and Veronaville did start off as added bonuses, but now they seem a little more than that. C.Syde65 (talk) 01:55, January 13, 2014 (UTC)

Voices
Why does Pascal Curious have two different voices in season two episode Nursery? C.Syde65 (talk) 09:00, January 14, 2014 (UTC)

Except that at some point in Nursery, Pascal gets his default voice back. Even though you changed the pitch of his voice making it deeper, when he got his default voice back (which is naturally deeper) I knew immediately that that was the voice he originally had and not the voice he had in Mediator.

RE:Strangetown and Veronaville in Fischer fanon
The Strangetown, Veronaville and Pleasantview storyline of the Fischer family are indirectly linked to the original Fischer family in the downtown of Desiderata Valley. Beside the fact they're all family in some way, I won't mix up the storylines. So, the Sims of Strangetown will never met the Sims of Desiderata Valley, etc. (Only Strangetown and Pleasantview are an exception) Loki Beaker's Time Machine is only a major topic in Strangetown. However, Bonnie Lothario ( a far descendant of the Fischers) who lived in Pleasantview disappeared and she or a clone of her came out of the Time Machine in Strangetown...

Grey World?
I think I sort of misunderstood what you meant by a "grey world". I thought it may have meant "less bright".

My own gameplay story is probably less ambiguous and therefore it is probably more "black" or more "white". Most of my gameplay stories do end to a lighter extent than the beginning which is probably more grey. I do have some neutral characters and some that are considered to be bad but not evil. I consider characters like Albany to be bad because of the number of Sims he is feuding with and for a bad reason.

I consider characters like General Buzz Grunt to be quite ambiguous in terms of good and evil. Even though he is prejudiced against aliens, he seems to think of them as "bad" which is understandable because who knows what to expect of aliens. Overall I consider him to be neutral even though he is clearly shown to be an antagonist.

Obviously, I sometimes have trouble sorting bad characters from the neutral ones or the neutral ones from the good ones.

Normally I tend to accept more grey worldviews, provided that I understand them and / or they are well written / shown.

I certainly do pull the strings of my Sims, especially for storytelling / writing purposes, and after I figured out how to type cheats in correctly. C.Syde65 (talk) 06:09, March 19, 2014 (UTC)
