Pollination Tech 9 Smith

Pollination Tech#9 Smith (also known as Mister Smith or Pollination Technician 9 Smith) is an alien character in both The Sims 2 and The Sims 2 for PSP.

Life leading up to The Sims 2
Though technically a strange extraterrestrial, Pollination Technician 9 is the patriarch of Strangetown, and father of four of its citizens. Although he seems to have had a very strange occupation in his adulthood, Pollination Technician 9 always wanted to just have a regular family.

Retiring after his ascent into elder-hood, he adopted the last name "Smith" and started a new family in the heart of Strangetown, becoming a well-known community leader who is respected and admired by most of his neighbors, excluding his resentful neighbor - and enemy - General Buzz Grunt, with whom he is feuding.

He is married to Jenny Smith and is the father to Johnny Smith and Jill Smith through Jenny. He had an important part taking care of his and Jenny's children. He taught all toddler skills to Johnny and two toddler skills to Jill, while Jenny only taught her how to walk. This is probably because he is a huge family Sim. He is also the father to the twins Lola Singles and Chloe Singles through the alien abduction of Glarn Curious. Note that, although the family description states that the Sim planet is his favorite, he has only carried out a single pollination there, according to his family tree.

He seems to be one of the very few aliens to have hair, most have the same gaunt face and features, but are bald.

Unlike most aliens, who have black hair genetics, he has red hair genetics; his daughter, Chloe, has red hair and her human father, Glarn, has black hair (shown in pictures and in Lazlo, Pascal, and Lola's hair). If he has more children with Jenny while she's still an adult, there's a 50% chance of red hair.

There is a poster from The Sims 2: University called Surfing the Universe, which depicts an alien named #RT66 who is described as Pollination Technician #9's cousin. Despite this, the family tree does not show #RT66.

Even though he won a fight with General Buzz, their number of body skills are inconsistent. This can be reconciled if it is assumed that they had the fight before Buzz had maximized the body skill, or if Buzz was simply unlucky.

He and General Buzz have a relatively positive lifetime relationship with one another. Players have used this as a way of dissolving Buzz's prejudice against aliens.

Life leading up to The Sims 2 (PSP version)
Pollination Technician 9 is even older and lives with his wife and daughter. The player has to free his son Johnny in a mini game. After a worried Jenny sends the player to discover what Pollination Technician 9 has been doing outside during the night, finding him by the wreckage of a flying saucer Pollination Technician 9 reveals to the player that he was married with a family back on his home planet. He instructs the player to retrieve a photo album of his alien family. He wears an outfit similar to a Pollination Technician in one mini-game. He lives in Division 47. His facial structure is different from the PC version. In the game he speaks slowly and with no facility, possibly because he is just learning to speak Simlish.

PT9's secrets in The Sims 2 (PSP):
 * 1) (Personal): Pollination Tech #9 really thinks his "human disguise" is working.
 * 2) (Intimate): A traditional alien first date includes a trip around the moon and a swift kick in the pants.
 * 3) (Dark): His favorite thing about living on earth?... Free chlorofluorocarbons!
 * 4) (Special Delivery): The crashed UFO was here to deliver a personal item to Mister Smith.

Onomatology
Pollination Tech 9 is a reference to his previous occupation, as he comes from a long line of alien pollination technicians.

Smith is a common surname originating in England. Since Pollination Technicians don't have last names, it is presumed Pollination Tech 9 used the name "Smith" to make his extraordinary family sound normal.
