Johnny Smith

Johnny Smith is a pre-existing, playable Sim that comes with the The Sims 2. He is a teen and lives with his family - parents and younger sister - in Strangetown.

Life Leading Up to The Sims 2
Johnny is the son of Pollination Tech#9 Smith and Jenny Smith (née Curious). He has a younger sister, Jill Smith. He has two older half-sisters, the twins Lola Singles and Chloe Singles from his father's pollinating days; the girls were born to Johnny's grandfather Glarn Curious after an alien abduction, which means that Lola and Chloe are both his aunts and his half-sisters. Because of this weird family mix, his mother is also somewhat of a step-sister for him.

He desperately wants to be popular and fit in at his high school. He's going steady with Ophelia Nigmos and is enemies with Tank Grunt because of a feud between their families. He's not friends with Ripp Grunt, but the two are close to being friends.

While he is an alien-Sim hybrid, he appears much more Sim-like than his half-sisters. Aside from having green skin, he essentially looks like a normal Sim. When the Smith family is first played, the house has a birthday cake and a buffet, because it is Johnny's birthday. Specifically, it is around 10:00 am on his last day as a teen. He will have a want to have a great party. However, since the party has not yet started, there is still time to send him to college, if University is installed.

While the Curious brothers are, biologically speaking, his uncles, he does not recognize them as family members, and does not even know them.

He has a high Body skill (level 7) and 2 skill points in the Mechanical skill.

Life Leading Up to The Sims 2 PSP Version
In the PSP version, Johnny is living with his family and the Grunt family at Division 47. Apparently, General Buzz Grunt's paranoia with the Smith family has escalated so much, he has transferred their family, and his family (with the exception of Buck Grunt) to Divison 47, much to Johnny's disapproval. Johnny hated this situation so much he requested that the player helps him to leave the hostage situation and live on his own in Deadtree. The player will have to create him a fake ID so he can be old enough to leave, and loop the security feeds. When Johnny leaves Division 47, he can be found in the Nighthowl Saloon. His relationship with Ophelia is unknown.

Johnny's secrets in The Sims 2 (PSP):
 * 1) (Personal): Johnny knows that green skin is just like red hair... a great reason to bully a smaller kid.
 * 2) (Intimate): Whenever Johnny gets really excited, he starts to smell like fish.
 * 3) (Dark): When Johnny was born, he looked like a squid. It's all been downhill from there.

Life Leading Up to The Sims 2 GBA
He and Tank Grunt are the only characters from Strangetown to make an appearance in the GBA version of The Sims 2. In the GBA version, he is a store clerk.

Life Leading Up to The Sims 2 DS Version
In The Sims 2 DS, Johnny is a salesman in Strangetown grocery store. He collects spaceship parts, probably to build his own ship and visit his relatives. Tank and he are the only characters from the PC version to appear in the The Sims 2 Nintendo DS version.

Onomatology
Johnny is a nickname for John, which means "Graced by Yahweh".

Smith is a a common surname of English origin. This name may have been chosen by his father, giving his extraordinary family a normal-sounding last name.

Trivia

 * When the game is first played, the Smith household is preparing for Johnny's birthday. Once he becomes an adult, he will only be best friends with Ophelia Nigmos, and they will no longer be going steady. However, he will continue to dream about her - with pink hearts bursting around her face - even if he falls in love with another Sim.
 * Johnny is the only green-skinned Alien-Sim hybrid to appear in the portable versions of the games. Notably, instead of having green eyes, he has black eyes, like his father. Any aliens a player makes, in The Sims 2 PSP, will always have black eyes. However, if their skin colour is changed to any others, the eye colour of the Sim will always be green.
