Fanon:Anthony Nagel/TS3


 * This article is about Anthony's incarnation in The Sims 3. For the character that is shown in The Sims 4, see Anthony Nagel.

Anthony Nagel (rhymes with "haggle", born November 9, 1996) is a fanon Sim in The Sims series. He first appeared in the Facebook game The Sims Social. Afterwards, he appears as a minor character for The Sims: Vacation and The Sims 2, making him the Author Avatar of the user Gourd Roger. He then appears as a standalone character in The Sims 3 and The Sims 4, with two separate incarnations for each game. His name is meant to be a pun on the real name of the author as he sarcastically represents Simmers who tend to try to look like themselves.

For his Sims 3 incarnation, he first lived in Appaloosa Plains. He currently works in the Architecture career after having worked in the Business, Military and Music careers to achieve his lifetime wish. He is currently dating Sapphira Julienne which he met during a Rebel meet in The Grotto. He currently lives in a three-storey house in Sunset Valley named Fallingwater Two.

Personality
Anthony's personality was designed to be as human-like as possible, having pairs of traits that seem to conflict each other but in the end creates a more complementing personality aspects that somehow makes it more colorful.

Assessment of personality traits
Anthony's two easily noticeable traits are Adventurous and Clumsy. They somehow conflict with each other at first impression although he realized he can actually use this two traits to his advantage since he can act dumb to provide. This also mixes well with his Genius trait as these two traits make him a curious Sim. These two traits also go with his Loner trait, as real-life introverts would generally go clumsy in social settings although their act of being reclused is not an excuse to become explorers of various aspects of life.

Another possible combination of two traits is him being a technophile, or anybody who loves technology to an extent that he's fanatical of it. This comes from his Computer Whiz and Genius traits going well together. It is also a result of the aforementioned Curious trait above. When he was visited by a time traveler from Oasis Landing, he was shocked by the amount of technology and knowledge the future has offered him. He also saw the progress of his lifetime of hardwork, as his descendants live as a major family in Oasis Landing.

He also represents his secondary social group well. Despite not being an Avant-Garde or a Rebellious Sim, he can cope up with the Rebels with slight distinction due to a combination of his Adventurous and Loner trait and his love of Street Art. This makes him quite the silent rebel type that does not recognize some of the rules. This was first shown when he vandalized B's Bowlarama.

Other notable observations
Due to being a socially awkward person from the combination of Clumsy and Loner trait, he finds socialization the second most difficult thing in his life next to living itself. He managed to overcome this difficulty and became one of the central charismatic figures in Sims University, effectively bringing the Nerds and the Rebels together against the Jocks who seem to be threats to their peaceful living. He also formed a band along with a bunch of these Nerds and Rebels and made them eventually reached level 1 celebrity status. This event stopped him from being the stereotype of being shy from the Loner trait.

He seems to be also kind of successful when it comes to dating. He managed to have a sizeable amount of admirers on his online dating profile and mostly coming from other majors. He then decided to ditch every single one of them when he met Sapphira during a Rebel meet.

Story as a The Sims Social character
Back in 2011, Anthony was one of the two Sims Gourd Roger created for The Sims Social, the other being Renzi Stevens. Both were created using two separate Facebook profiles and they never met each other until The Sims 4. Like most players of the game, he settled in the suburban district Littlehaven first. Nothing significant happened after that, aside from owning a house worth 100,000 Simoleons.
