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 Isla Paradiso named Fallingwater Three, which he designed along with his smaller previous 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.
Appearance
Anthony's physical traits balances between the Asian traits of his mother and the European traits of his father. While he seems to acquire most of his facial features from his mother, he acquired his father's skin and nose. This is untrue for his character's traits from The Sims 4 where he also appears as a separate lead role and in which he slightly looks more Filipino than he looks like in this game where he looks more like a stereotypical Asian teenager. He has brown eyes and black hair, with light skin that makes him look a little more Chinese.
He wears varying sorts of eyeglasses for his Outerwear, Everyday and Formal outfits. He has a second set of outfits for these three that are specifically made for the future. When he first visited Oasis Landing, he found his outfit and technology kind of awkward for this futuristic age. This is why he prepared himself for the next time he visits there so he can blend well with his descendants. These changes range from the outfits he uses to the furniture he has inside his house.
Just like in the other games, he wore different kinds of clothes. However, comparing his present incarnations in The Sims 3 and The Sims 4, he never wore sleeveless shirts outside the house. This time his clothes are also more diverse since he keeps on changing his clothes every 2 Sim days. No one recognizes that he uses the same type of clothes but with different designs thanks to maximizing the capabilities of the Create a Style feature, lessening the effort required to change a certain type of clothes.
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.
Story
Throughout the three different incarnations of Anthony in The Sims 3, Anthony has a well-lived life
Early life
Anthony was born in an island that looks similar to Sunlit Tides while he lived much of his days as a Toddler and Child in real-life Germany. His family then decided to move to Appaloosa Plains late in his childhood. They settled in the Trotter Cottage house. He studied in Crestview School and Stadium during his Elementary and High School years. He graduated with honors, finishing with an "A" grade. Nothing else significant happened during this life stage.
According to the Sims surrounding their family, Anthony is regarded as a kind Sim despite not having the Good trait. There might be some conflicts between him and his parents regarding school work and responsibilities, but he was still relatively close to them. He is also seen as shy as he is today, since he almost never gets out of the house out of personal choice. This did not help him to get rid of enemies though.
Settling in Sunset Valley
After graduating from high school, a teen Anthony agreed to move out of his household and settled in Sunset Valley which became his home for several years. He started this lot with a small one-bedroom house until later in his college years.
