Tricou family

Based On A True Family
'''The Tricou Family and house is actually based on a real home in New Orleans. The house has a huge, narrow and dangerous staircase that the grand-daughter, Penelope, of the home owner fell down. Penelope died, and now supposedly haunts the house. Other strange things happen in this house: a scary man with razor teeth haunts the balcony; a statue that moves and has red lip marks on its behind. (Not joking). The house became a restaurant and popular attraction with the hauntings, but closed in 2005. '''

'''The House of Fallen Leaves doesn't actually LOOK like the one in New Orleans, but it does have a statue, and ghosts everywhere! '''

Resurrecting the Tricou Family
Method One: The Tombstone of Life and Death

I have found a way to resurrect the Tricou family. Needed items are the Tombstone of L &amp; D (acquired through the boolprop testingcheatsenabled cheat) and a Resurrect-O-Nomitron. Make sure your selected Sim has no actions in their queue, and pause the game. Click the Tombstone and cycle through the Add Neighbour to Family... option until you find the name of one of the Tricou family members. Click the name. Now resume and pause quickly by pressing the 'P' key on your keyboard twice. If you did it right, the Sim will stay on the screen without turning into a ghost. Then, still paused, use the "deceased" Sim to Call the Grim Reaper on the Resurrect-O-Nomitron. They will resurrect one of their family members, and then become a ghost. Then, use the newly resurrected Sim to bring back their family members.

Method Two: The Mailbox

The easiest way to resurrect the Tricous could be this. You need to have your "boolprop testingcheatsenabled true" activated.

Step one: Select your playable Sim.

Step two: Shift+click on the mailbox.

Step three: Click on the button which says "Make Me Know Everyone". This cheat will make your selected Sim knows everyone, even those who passed away.

Step four: Get the Resurrect O-Nomitron. Just shift+click on the newspaper, then select Career Rewards under Paranormal.

Step five: Resurrect all the Tricous.

Done.

Method Three: Jon Smith Tricou's Descendants (no cheats method)

There are several downtown teen townies that are descended from Jon Smith Tricou. If you can make them playable, they can resurrect him with the Resurrect-o-Nomitron.


 * 1) Identify a teen descendant of Jon Smith Tricou. They have random names with every game/version of Downtown, but they always have the same appearance. There are several ways to identify them. They are all Pleasure aspiration, and several of them have hairstyles/hats that were introduced with Nightlife. The most easy to identify is a blond male who wears white face makeup and black lipstick. There is also a female who has the "chopsticks bun". There are about 6 in total. You will see Jon Smith Tricou in their family tree once they are playable.
 * 2) Make the teen playable. If you have the University expansion pack, you can 'send them to college' to make them playable. Or if you have FreeTime, and you make friends with them with a teen PC, you can age them with you to make them playable. You can always make them drop out of college if you don't want to play their university life.
 * 3) Get the now-adult descendant a Resurrect-o-Nomitron via the Paranormal career track.
 * 4) Have the now-adult descendant resurrect Jon Smith Tricou.
 * 5) Jon Smith Tricou can resurrect the rest of the Tricous.

A variation of this involve the Laganaphyllis Simnovorii. If you have access to both a Laganaphyllis Simnovorii and a Resurrect-o-nomitron. your teen Sims can bring home one of the Tricou teens and have them get eaten by the Laganaphyllis Simnovorii. The teen Sim can resurrect the dead Tricou.

Method Four: Witch Spell

You can use the evil witch's spell to turn one of the Tricous into a zombie. From there, the zombie can resurrect the rest of the family members. This requires Apartment Life, but no cheats are necessary.
