Backstory


It's Rarely Sunny in Midnight Hollow!

Hello there friend,


 * Are you sick of feeling out of place?
 * Sick of feeling bad that there's no one around like you?
 * Sick of those smiling neighbors telling you to enjoy the "sunset" in the "valley?"

Then come to Midnight Hollow where it's good to be one of a kind!

Life is hard and people will always have something to say about you. "All of her husbands die mysteriously and suddenly" or "I think her son was fathered by the Grim Reaper" or "I'm pretty sure she's a murderer" ...Where do they come up with this stuff??

I moved here to get away from the "normal" life to find a life that's normal for me. Let them have their  "Starlight" and "shores," I'll take my century-old Victorian mansion, eerie landscape and interesting neighbors every time.

Here's hoping you're next! - I meant being my new neighbor; not the whole murder thing FYI.

See you at Midnight Hollow!

-- Olive Specter

New Families

 * Ainsley family 41 Breach Bend
 * §4,000
 * Difficulty: 1
 * Eliza Ainsley
 * Eliza lives alone with solitude as her best friend. She doesn't like neighbors or visitors or the outdoors or children. All she likes is reading books and being alone. To be honest, no one in town really knows what Eliza looks like let alone how she's fairing and that's the way she likes it. 


 * Bledsoe family 125 Poffald Place
 * §12,000
 * Difficulty: 1
 * Phineas Bledsoe
 * Phineas is at the height of fashion and the height of poetry (if there ever was one). He can tell in an instant if a piece of writing or clothing will be a hit or a gauche rerun to be quickly forgotten by the masses. It's best to get and stay on his good side if you want near the "it" list.


 * Carter family 80 True Terrace
 * §3,000
 * Difficulty: 1
 * Kara Carter
 * Kara Carter is a leading chef in town with an eccentric sense of fashion. She grabs inspiration where she can find it, whether it's the modern Vivienne Simwood, or Marie Simtoinette of the past. She may be described as "Shabby Chic" but her Goopy Carbonara is to DIE FOR.


 * Doe family 25 Swallow Street
 * §30,000
 * Difficulty: 5
 * John Doe, Jane Doe, Joseph Doe, Jennifer Doe, James Doe
 * Jane is the perfect housewife, from her neat hairstyle to her fashionable yet conservative dress. She's neat, nurturing, loves her kids, and can make a mean pot roast! Meanwhile, John is rising in the ranks at his corporate job. He feels successful in life and supported by his family. He works hard but comes home in enough time to teach his kids a lesson or two about life and talk to his wife about her day. Nothing mysterious seems to be happening here, but didn't their house used to have a basement? 


 * Entrepreneurs household 30 Swallow Street
 * §5,000
 * Difficulty: 2
 * Todd Landgraab, Karl Simon, Seema Sielen
 * Seema has the charm, Karl has the smarts, and Todd has the money. They're pressured by friends, family, and society to make something of themselves and they have a plan! Entrepreneurship is a real thing...right?


 * Finley family 87 True Terrace
 * §3,000
 * Difficulty: 1
 * Conrad Finley
 * Conrad was born for the evening news. He has the wit, the brains, and the nose for news. The only things he's lacking in the world is melanin. But he doesn't miss it and he's not letting it hold him back. He'll be the anchor on the evening news in the next 5 years or his name isn't Conrad Finley.


 * Flynn family 121 Poffald Place
 * §2,000
 * Difficulty: 4
 * Edmund Flynn, Maggie Flynn, Mitchell Flynn, Cora Flynn
 * When Jackson Bishop received a letter from the Flynn estate lawyer detailing the poor, rich orphans who were coming to live with their long lost Uncle they've never met, he decided this was his chance to improve his standing and become guardians of the children for their fortune. Good old Edmund Flynn passed in a tragic accident and the kids *did* need a guardian after all. He's just being charitable!...right.


 * Hyde family 75 Breach Bend
 * §10,000
 * Difficulty: 1
 * Lucien Hyde
 * Lucien is a tortured artist whose only torturer is himself. He enjoys being sad and the better he is, the sadder he gets. It's his thing. 


 * Lau family 123 Poffald Place
 * §8,000
 * Difficulty: 2
 * Mai Lau, Annie Lau, Lucy Lau
 * The Lau triplets were the foremost scientists in the field of optimizing the human body to better the earth.

Each sister took on a new career that would employ their newfound physical prowess.


 * Limb family 45 Breach Bend
 * §3,000
 * Difficulty: 1
 * Jack Limb
 * Jack is the resident toy collector. New in Box, Vintage, First Edition, are all phrases in his vocabulary and he keeps his collection pristine.

 * Nguyen family 26 Swallow Street
 * §3,000
 * Difficulty: 1
 * Samantha Nguyen
 * Samantha has a number of tattoos on her body and each one tells a story of something she's loved, places she's been, and where she hopes to be. Also they just look really great on her. Midnight Hollow is just one stop on her grand adventure of bringing affordable medicine to the world and who knows where she's headed next.


 * Pham family 103 Shearin Stroll
 * §7,000
 * Difficulty: 1
 * Trang Pham
 * Trang is an artistic savant. She paints some of the most brilliant paintings in the world and is renowned for her unqiue avant garde style. It's really too bad that she can't stand art. At all. 


 * Poirot family 77 Breach Bend
 * §3,000
 * Difficulty: 1
 * Julian Poirot
 * Julian has been a performer all of his life. He shined on the stages of Champs Les Sims and brought wonder and excitement to all those who viewed him. But those watching him didn't know that the light they saw on stage was not talent, but the light actually inside his heart. As time wore on and life got harder his light began to fade and performances became more and more sad. Can love bring Julian's light back? Or will he be the saddest clown?


 * Prince family 49 Breach Bend
 * §3,000
 * Difficulty: 3
 * Monty Prince, Clarice Prince, Cornell Evans, Cecelia Evans
 * Cecilia and Cornell have had enough. Instead of living the life of normal children their mother has forced them into a regimented existence that has stifled their creativity and freedom. Sure they know more skills in their early youth than most Sims would know in a lifetime, but at what cost? They've run away to live with their grandparents hoping to find out who they are and who they want to be before adulthood sets in.


 * Salas family 27 Swallow Street
 * §3,000
 * Difficulty: 4
 * Tatiana Salas, Jay Salas, Sandra Salas, Frieda Salas
 * Tatiana couldn't believe her luck at the ghost mixer when the attractive Jay walked her way and asked her name. Now years later she has the home she always dreamed of and the family she thought she'd missed out on. Science doesn't explain how it works, but she thinks their family is powered by Love.


 * Sombre household 90 True Terrace
 * §10,000
 * Difficulty: 3
 * Hyun-Moon Jun, Jin Sang Kim, Young Jae Sung, Nadia Cho
 * Nadia had a hard time convincing her bandmates that she should be taken seriously as the lead vocalist in their band, but one metal growl during an argument and they were sold. Don't let her size fool you, this girl can rock.


 * Stewart family 84 True Terrace
 * §3,000
 * Difficulty: 1
 * Katarina Stewart
 * Katarina's love for dolls came at a young age. She adored all of the fashion and possibilities. As she aged, her only dream was to be like her beloved doll. Now with pristine skin and an almost expressionless face she loves everything she sees in the mirror and doesn't want to be alone. She has her eyes set on collector Jack Limb because if anyone can appreciate perfect upkeep of a doll, it's him; but his feelings for that perfect Sarah Holden are standing in her way.


 * Synapse household 43 Breach Bend
 * §10,000
 * Difficulty: 2
 * Roderick Synapse, Sarah Holden
 * Dr. Synapse never meant to be an evil scientist. He loved science, he just didn't love Love. It was far too complicated. So he did what any scientist would do. He kidnapped the sweetest girl in his former town to dissect her brain and figure out just how Love works. You know, For Science!


 * Vasquez family 72 Breach Bend
 * §20,000
 * Difficulty: 2
 * Marina Rosa Vasquez, Fausto Alvarado Vasquez
 * Fausto has always been known for his good looks and his charming personality and he rode on those traits for most of his life. Now as he sees his youth fading and realizes he has no real talent or experience to speak of, he realizes he needs a new plan. He can love someone significantly older than him right? Or at least pretend to for awhile?


 * Watts family 44 Breach Bend
 * §700
 * Difficulty: 1
 * Nathan Watts
 * Nathan Watts is leading energy and technology. He's trying his new inventions around town, but his discoveries will revolutionize the way we use energy around the world. How does he get everything done? Sheer organization. He's naturally quite neat but everything has its place and everything needs to be in it or he can't concentrate. Whatever you do, don't start counting in 3's around him, once you start he won't be able to stop.


 * Wheeler family 107 Shearin Stroll
 * §30,000
 * Difficulty: 1
 * Jules Wheeler
 * Jules knows that the only way to keep money is by not spending it. An impoverished childhood didn't prepare him for the success that would find him in his later life. Now that he has a small fortune he intends to keep it. No point in wasting money on fancy furnishing or an expensive car. He will only buy the cheapest that money can buy, because he never wants to be poor again.


 * Winchester family 124 Poffald Place
 * §6,000
 * Difficulty: 2
 * Cedrick Winchester, Odessa Winchester
 * Odessa and Cedrick come from a long line of blue-blooded royals but had their throne usurped when the townsfolk felt that they were a bit too crazy to be rulers. They've found a town where they feel comfortable and they're trying their hand at Politics. Royalty here, Royalty there, what does it matter when you're royalty?


 * Yates family 11 Swallow Street
 * §3,000
 * Difficulty: 2
 * Viola Yates, Morgan Yates
 * Morgan loves his mother. More than anyone or anything. There's nothing creepy about this. They're just best friends and hang out alone together in their large quiet home. Visitors can hear her, and passersby can see her in the window, but no one has ever actually seen her face. 


 * Ziggfield family 110 Shearin Stroll
 * §13,000
 * Difficulty: 2
 * David Ziggfield, Alia Ziggfield

 * The Yates family are a spoof of Norman and Norma Bates from the Psycho franchise.
 * It is unknown yet if Minerva Goth is directly related to the infamous Goth family of The Sims franchise.
