Vidcund Curious

Vidcund Curious resides in Strangetown with his two brothers Pascal Curious and Lazlo Curious, and has another sister, Jenny Smith, who is married to the alien Pollination Technician 9 Smith. Vidcund is very close to Lazlo and they are best friends, even as brothers. He works in the Science career track as a Lab Assistant.

Vidcund is blonde with large green tinted glasses, and he enjoys stargazing and basically anything that has to do with study. As a teenager, he lost a fight to General Buzz Grunt and went steady with Circe Beaker, his childhood friend, who is now married to his bitter rival, Loki Beaker. He still has crush on Circe, but this feeling is not mutual as she only sees him as an acquaintance.

If the player follows the text-box prompts upon first loading the Curious household and directs Vidcund to use the telescope, the game is biased to give a 100% certainty that he will be abducted and return pregnant. Vidcund is known to be the shoving Sim when a Sim from another household stargazes with telescope during the day. This is because Vidcund is the first playable Sim created in Strangetown. If Vidcund stargazes through telescope, Olive Specter will be the shoving Sim instead, unless Bella Goth is made playable.

His biography has a very similar layout to Mortimer Goth in Pleasantview.

In The Sims 2 for PSP, Vidcund kidnapped Pascal's alien son, Tycho, for funding on a secret experiment.

Vidcund's secrets from The Sims 2 (PSP):
 * 1) (Personal): He was once a stand-up comic... When he told jokes, everyone would stand up to leave.
 * 2) (Intimate): Vidcund used to be a fire fighter, but got fired for being too hot-headed...
 * 3) (Dark): Vidcund sold Tycho to the Dudes in Black so they would fund his secret project.
 * 4) (Working with the Enemy): Lazlo claims that Vidcund has been working with the Dudes in Black.

Onomatology
The name Vidcund is made up. Vidkun is a Norwegian first name, which fell out of fashion as Vidkun Quisling became leader of the Nazi puppet government of Norway during World War II.

Curious refers to an individual who is interested in the world around them. Someone who is curious may have a thirst for knowledge, which refers to Vidcund's aspiration.
