Lilith Pleasant/theories

While the reason is never given, it is quite obvious that Lilith Pleasant's parents overwhelmingly favored Angela. Why is unknown. Place your theories here.

Theories

 * Heres an idea. Maybe Mary-Sue loved both the twins but she was too busy with work to teach Lillith her toddler skills or socialise with her. That explains their low relationship. So Mary-Sue asked Daniel to teach Lillith her skills but he wasnt bothered and just watched T.V while Mary-Sue was gone. When she came back he might have pretended Angela was Lillith so she would think that Lillith could use the toilet, walk and talk. And he was too busy doing stuff with Kaylynn to pay attention to Lillith which explains their low relationship. So thats my theory.
 * I think Daniel and Mary-Sue only wanted one child. It does appear to be that Angela was born first, since she always grew up before Lilith and (According to Daniel and Mary-Sue's memories) was born first, so maybe the parents were content with Angela but wasn't happy when they found out they had another child, and therefore probably didn't treat her with as much affection. I don't think they abused her though, since the Pleasants are over-confident and stuck-up perfectionists, they probably wanted to maintain that appearance, so Lilith wasn't abused, but she wasn't loved either. That's just my opinion.
 * The theory above is good, more I think only that Lilith is the rebel type of child just like Dustin Broke.
 * I also agree with the first one but mabey the Lilith was put up for adoption but was never taken because of her rebelous nature and so hoping that she would be taken they never taught her toddler skills?
 * I think that the Pleasants were expecting only 1 child, and that was Angela. i think that the doctor gave them the wrong info.i think that they had another name just in case and that name was Lilith.thats the only way to me that it would make scence. from, bvbfan1
 * I'm convinced that Angela and Lilith were Daniel's "clones" just as Brandi's unborn son is her "clone". Otherwise they would have black hair and brown eyes.
 * I agree with lots of people here that Daniel && Mary-Sue only wanted one child. Maybe this forced Lilith to be abnoxious etc., because she didn't feel loved.
 * Probably, acording to the first one, they wanted only one child, and then surprisingly had two, and they did, however, keep loving Angela and throwing Lilith away, but they did take care of her only because, if the social worker did get knowing about it, it would take Lilith and Angela, so to don't have Angela been taken away along with Lilith, they did actually take care about Lilith, and obviously, didn't take the opportunity of having Lilith taken away when they aged Angela to teen. (sorry about crappy english, i'm brazillian)
 * i think that they were expecting only 1 child, which was Angela. they probably had Lillth over surprise. they probably just thought up a name, which was the name of lillth. from, bvbfan1
 * Probably Lillith was poor and unwanted so everyone turned against her she was proberly born mean and nasty but I think she's jealous about Angela being an Overachiver.BTW she so deserves that Dreamer kid.
 * I think Lilith was just different than her sister, and her parents couldn't appreciate it. Maybe when they fought, Angela tattled on Lilith's faults, and when Angela was mean to Lilith, she was to shy to tell her parents, so slowly they began to favor Angela.
 * In my opinion the first one is probably a good reason, but another theory could be that Angela was secretly spoiled inside, and whenever she did any bad things she pushed it off, lied to her parents, and put the blame finger on Lilith.
 * Maybe Pleasants don't love Lilith because she is different. They are kinda perfect and stuck-up, and Lilith just isn't like that. Angela was born first, sho she was probably determined to take care of the surname, and since Lilith was second, they thought she isn't so important. Also, Daniel hates Dustin Broke, because he don't want want bad-boy for his daughter, so he protects Angela and don't have time for Lilith. And Mary-Sue is preoccupied with her job so she don't care for her either. And maybe Lilith is more inteligence than Angela and is objective, so she see there are some problems in family (Kaylynn Langerak), and she fights with Angela because she thinks everything is ok.-Anchy1991
 * Hello!I agree with the first theory.But it still isn't right of her parents! BTW,how can Lilith can walk,talk and use the toliet if she never was taught her toddler skills?Peace out!196.25.255.250 18:27, January 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree with the first theory suggested, in that Daniel and Mary-Sue were not expecting twins when Angela and Lilith were born. However, they may have attemped to love Lilith as much as they did Angela, yet as Angela has always seemed to be cruel to her sister, it may be that she corrupted her parents against Lilith, like always blaming Lilith whenever she did anything bad, and as such, Daniel and Mary Sue automatically began to trust their little Angela more. This, which is fairly obvious, is what caused Lilith to simply act the way her parents belive her to act on a regular basis, and dress all gothic. Elliot Goth 17:06, February 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * I thought that perhaps it was the parents' careers. Teaching toddler skills takes time and both Daniel and Mary-Sue are in quite high-powered, difficult jobs. Also, the twins are identical. They may have thought that they were teaching toddler skills as best they could with both of their twins, and didn't realise that they only completed any of them with one of their girls. In terms of childhood and teenage, it seems like maybe Angela bought into the idea that appearances really do matter a lots, whereas Lilith didn't. Over time, that's morphed into Lilith actively rejecting her family's stated values, while Angela tries so hard to be perfect that she's heading for a nervous breakdown - Timbo
 * I think Lillith is not loved by her parents because maybe Daniel and Mary-Sue (parents) only wanted 1 child. It says in their memory that they had Angela first so they were happy but when they got Lillith they gave all the attention to Angela. In their memory niether one of them potty trained or taught to talk Lillith. Therefore she felt left out and started doing bad things.
 * I don't think it's because they only wanted one child. I think it's because they are just not that great of parents. Angela has a positive relationship with her parents but its 20/20 for both. Its not like they are even friends. Lilith has a negative relationship. I think Mary-Sue was just too focused on her works to be boggled down with kids, and Daniel is a romance sim, he didn't want to become married and have kids. He is more worried about his career as a athlete and his romances. So I don't think they gave either one of them a lot of attention. Also twins have different personality. One twin style is preppy and the other one is goth and there is nothing wrong with that. Lilith is just different.
 * I think Lilith could be misunderstood. Angela looks like a well behaved preppy girl but she could be evil and spoiled deep deep inside - she could be double faced. and maybe she is lieing to her parents and blaming Lilith for all the bad things she does. how do you know? but it could be the opposite too, i guess.
 * I think that The Pleasants were only expecting one child (Angela) But were suprised that they had twins. But Daniel and Mary-Sue parents only had time for one child each. Mary-Sue took Angela and Daniel took Lilith. Mary-Sue taught Angela to Walk and Talk but Daniel mistook Angela for Lilith and assumed Mary-Sue had taught Lilith to walk and talk so he taught Angela who he though was Lilith to use the toilet. Lilith was forgotten by Daniel and was never taught her Toddler Skills. Lilith assumed that her Parents didn't love her and became who she is at the start of the game.

 * I agree with most theories that Mary-Sue and Daniel only wanted one child (which might have been too much for Daniel already, because of his Romance personality). But I want to add that in The Sims, you don't know anything about upcoming babies. Also note that when the twins were born, this was only a few years after The Sims - they're in their teens. There was very little known about babies. So when Angela was born (perhaps just before 7 PM) the parents were happy about it, and called her their angel - Angela. But then, unexpectedly, another one came - Lillith - which they didn't want at all. One was enough. They called her Lillith because she was born just after 7 PM, when it just got dark. So both parents always had a slight dislike for Lillith. Time skip to toddlerhood. Angela, the favorite, got her todder skills first, but this took up all of her toddlerhood, because Mary-Sue was very busy with work and Daniel with his romances. So, by the time it was Lillith's turn, it was their birthday already. So, Lillith grows up badly and Angela grows up fine. Time skip to childhood. By now, Mary-Sue and Daniel didn't want Lillith to feel neglected, so they bought her lots of expensive things. Lillith liked dark, so she got a dark room. But now it's the other way around: for Angela's room they were short on money. But they bought her a computer to make up for it. Now Angela had a computer while Lillith did not. She felt neglected, and grew up badly, while Angela grew up fine. All this time, Lillith felt bad, and went for darker colors and got worse grades at school. Angela thought all was fine and bright and got better grades. The good grades made Mary-Sue and Daniel love Angela even more, while Lillith got a dislike for her parents - for always letting Angela go first - and started to hate Angela. This, in turn made the others dislike Lillith. There's only one sidenote to the whole story: while Lillith became the 'bad girl', she attracted Dirk Dreamer. Being more able to stand on her own, they already were dating by Sims 2. Meanwhile, Angela was a little less able to do that, and only lately (perhaps one day before Sims 2) she started dating Dustin Broke. Angela might be attracted to him because of his humble origins: she might not have wanted to be spoiled. This explains her positive but not good relationship with her parents: they're spoiling her to make up for not being home often (again, Mary-Sue and her work and Daniel and his Romance), which she thinks is unfair. Mary-Sue has been worrying about this lately and has begun to notice Daniel, so she's doing badly at work. All of this combined, is the starting point for The Sims 2
 * I think that the Pleasants were only expecting one child and were very surprised and didn't really know how to cope when they had twins. They instantly bonded with Angela because she's a bit of a goody two shoes, but they didn't know how to relate to Lilith because she was always a bit rebellious from the start. This lead them to accidently neglect Lilith (but they didn't actually abuse her) Lilith was jealous of her sister, who always got good grades, nice stuff etc. She also felt unloved by her family and acted rebellious to get attention. Unfortunatel, this did nothing to improve her relationship with Mary-Sue and daniel. Angela felt sorry for her twin and thought that her parents were treating her unfairly (which explains why she has a positive but not great relationship with her mother).
