Caliban Capp: Difference between revisions

{{Infobox Sim2

'''Caliban Capp''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|k|æ|l|ɨ|b|æ|n|_|k|æ|p}}) {{nee|Gale|male}} is a pre-made deceased [[Sim]] featured in ''[[The Sims 2]]''. He was the son of [[Prospero Gale]] and [[Sycorax Gale]], the husband of [[Cordelia Capp]], and the father of [[Tybalt Capp|Tybalt]], [[Juliette Capp|Juliette]], and [[Hermia Capp|Hermia]].

During his lifetime, Caliban resided in [[Veronaville]], one of [[neighborhood]]s that shipped with the game. His early life is unknown as he has no [[memories]]. He was a [[fortuneFortune]] Sim, but had much larger part of raising his children than his wife; he taught them both the walking and talking [[skill]]s. Caliban died in a [[fire]] along with his wife, possibly casualties in the feud between the [[Capp family|Capps]] and the [[Monty family|Montys]]. After his death, his three children were taken in by Caliban's mother and father-in-law, [[Consort Capp|Consort]] and [[Contessa Capp]]. He is buried at the [[Capp Manor]].

When Caliban is resurrected, his appearance will be randomized, but he won't have a corrupted face if he changes appearance. If he is aged up or down, he will have the 16th face template (with a slightly customized mouth) which is the one seen in his [[elder]] thumbnail. This can be fixed with [[Career rewards|Dr. Vu's Automated Cosmetic Surgeon]]. Even though his thumbnail shows him with brown eyes, his eyes are actually green.

Caliban has the same facial structure as [[Creon Nigmos]] from [[Strangetown]]. Like several other pre-made deceased Sims in Veronaville, heCaliban has no eyebrows. The reason for this is because he has a corrupted face. He has a second unused thumbnail hidden in his character file. It shows him as an elder with an unused hairstyle which is similar to one that [[Mortimer Goth]] has in ''[[The Sims]]''. This thumbnail also shows the face that he will get if he changes his appearance at a mirror. However this may not be the case if he is not aged to a different life stage, or Dr. Vu's Automated Cosmetic Surgeon has not been used to purge his facial structure.

It is possible that Caliban was meant to be playable, as he recognizes his [[Goneril Capp|sister-in-law]]'s children as family and vice-versa, which is impossible without editing, as he is a relative by [[marriage]]. Another hint towards this is his NID which shows that he was the 5th4th Sim created in Veronaville, along with his wife and the rest of his family (living Sims are usually created first, and their dead ancestors are created afterward). Caliban was 1 day from being an [[elder]] when he died by fire, according to [[Package editor#SimPE|SimPE]].
