Line 12:
They layout of Lucky Palms lends itself wonderfully to a recreation of Strangetown. A large dual carriageway runs straight across the map, with the science and military establishments closeby. This empty freeway is, of course, the Road To Nowhere.
[[File:
In the various descriptions of the lots and households, it is hinted that some residents of Lucky Palms are already down on their luck. The area north of the freeway is populated with small, cheap housing, and abandoned commercial buildings now doubling as homes: the theatre, the pharmacy, the garage, and the motel. The lake has run dry, the businesses have died a death, and the population of this little section of the community may soon move on to greener pastures, or else leave their children to clean up the mess of this failed gamblers' paradise.
Line 52:
* [[Pansy Northrop]] & [[Ezekiel Reid]]
[[File:Pansy.jpg|thumb|360px|Pansy in her motel room with baby Rock.]]Pansy and Ezekiel have a difficult friendship when the story begins. Pansy decides that the best way to cement this relationship will be to seduce her roommate and win him over with some romance. But the plan backfires when Pansy falls pregnant just as Ezekiel's career as a singer is starting to take off. The pair go their separate ways, with Ezekiel launching a successful career under his stage name, EZ Kool Rock, and Pansy moving to the motel across the street. She doesn't want to admit to having had a romance with a rock star, and so, when asked to give the name of the baby's father, Pansy merely grunts. Thus, her son begins his life named, in a roundabout way, after his dad: [[Rock Grunt]].
* [[Addison Ross]] & [[Hanson Gilbert]]
Baby Addison grows up, dates, and has a child with her childhood friend, Hanson. She still lives with her parents, who help her raise baby Milony as Addison continues at high school. Brittlebrush Academy draws the attention of the education authorities following reports of an unusual rate of teen pregnancies.
Line 61:
* [[Ethan Tanner]] & [[Ezekiel Reid]]
[[File:Ethan.jpg|thumb|360px|Ethan reads to little Bhu.]]Having always grown up with a big family, Ethan Tanner can't bear the thought of winding up alone in a big empty house. And, while Ezekiel's career is thriving, this eternally childish superstar is starting to feel the need for a family of his own - at least as an excuse to hold onto all the toy they've kept around the house. The pair adopt a new baby son, [[Bhu Frehndly]], from an orphanage in India, although Ezekiel still plays with the
* [[Cricket Irwin]] & [[Tabbi Claremont]]
Cricket grows up into something of a hippie. She enjoys painting and does yoga in the back garden. She and girlfriend Tabbi move into the Tanner household and set up a hippie commune, much to the shock of the conservative desert community. The same agency in India that helped place Bhu also appeals to Cricket to house another child, Jeevika. Cricket accepts, and Ethan builds an extension into the garage.
Line 72:
The Curiouses couldn't bear to leave old friends [[Rich Whelohff]] and [[Rosy Whelohff]] behind, so they persuaded them to move, too. Rich and Rosy live just across the way in 'The Claw', a super-swish high tech mansion. Daughter Zo (soon to be [[Zo Curious]]) is growing up nicely.
* The [[Morel Family]]
I was running out of sims in Lucky Palms, so I widened my search to France. In [[Champs Les Sims]], locals [[Edith Morel]] and [[Gérard Morel]] have a daughter named Mary. As she grows older, her love of gardening (and her hourglass shape) earn her the nickname [[Mary Melons]].
* The [[Salas family]]
The similarity to 'Salamis' was close enough, and as I had [[Midnight Hollow]] all set up, [[Jay Salas]] and [[Tatiana Salas]] were the perfect residents for the spooky haunted castle that now sits on the outskirts of Lucky Palms. Tatiana is already expecting a baby, and she and Jay are doing everything they can to ensure their third child escapes their ghostly fate. Researching cures, harvesting [[life fruit]], and scouring the graveyard for [[deathfish]], the Salas family work night and day to ensure their new child will be flesh and blood, rather than a mere apparition. Their baby son is born, and named 'Andros', meaning 'man', a fitting title for their first human child.

{{Info|Notes:|I've had some difficulty finding parents for all the Strangetown founders. My original plan was for one of the Loner/Frehndly ancestors to be the descendent of the [[King Family (Lucky Palms)]], only they emigrated and vanished before I was able to get to grips with my cheat system. As such, both Bhu and Jeevika are adopted, and their Indian descent is carried through from their birth parents.}}
