Tricou family: Difference between revisions

The '''Tricou family''' lived in [[Downtown]], the [[sub-neighborhood]] that comes with the ''[[Nightlife]]'' expansion pack. All eight members have died by the time the player enters the lot; [[Gvaudoin Tricou|Gvaudoin]] and [[Fricorith Tricou]] haunt the [[House of Fallen Trees]] (where the entire family once lived), while [[Jon Smith Tricou|Jon Smith]], [[Jennicor Tricou|Jennicor]], [[Kiernan Tricou|Kiernan]], [[Nylissit Tricou|Nylissit]], [[Jennail Tricou|Jennail]] and [[Kvornan Tricou|Kvornan]] haunt Gothier Green Lawns, the cemetery in Downtown. Also buried at the house is a young woman named [[Rainelle Neengia]], who seems to have moved into the house after the family's death. After seeing the ghosts of the two teens, Gvaudoin and Fricorith, she died of fright. The little furniture Rainelle had is still in the house. This family is very unique, as they are one of the [[matrilineal families]] in the game, as in, the husband takes the wife's last name. Judging by the house they lived in, the Tricous were quite rich, at least at one time.

There seems to be a slight mixup between Gvaudoin and Fricorith. Fricorith has blond hair, but neither of his parents appear to have that hair color. Jennail has black hair, and Kvornan has brown hair. Gvaudoin doesn't appear to be noticeable, as she has black hair like her father Kiernan. However she doesn't bear any resemblance to her mother Nylissit. Instead she and her aunt Jennail both use a slightly modified version of a custom face already in CAS. So, Fricorith may have been meant to be Nylissit's son, while Gvaudoin may have been intended to be Jennail's daughter. But this may have just been a mistake by the developers.

Needed items to resurrect the family are the [[Tombstone of Life and Death|Tombstone of L & D]] (acquired through the boolprop [[testingcheatsenabled]] cheat) and a [[Resurrect-O-Nomitron]]. Make sure the selected Sim has no actions in their queue, and pause the game. The player must click the Tombstone and cycle through the Add Neighbor to Family... option until finding the name of one of the Tricou family members. Then, the player needs to click the name. Next, resume and pause quickly by pressing the 'P' key on keyboard twice. If this is done correctly, the Sim will stay on the screen without turning into a ghost. Then, with the game still paused, have 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, the newly resurrected Sim can be used to bring back their family members.

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

Step four: Get the Resurrect-O-Nomitron. If it has not been earned as a career reward, shift+click on the newspaper, then select Career Rewards under Paranormal.

Done.

# 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 aspirants, 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.

# Make the teen playable. If you have the University expansion pack, the player can 'send them to college' to make them playable. Or if the player has ''[[FreeTime]]'' installed, have them make friends with a teen PC, and age them up with the chosen Sim to make them playable. The player can always make them drop out of college if you don't want to play their university life.

A variation of this involves the [[Laganaphyllis Simnovorii]]. The player has access to both a Laganaphyllis Simnovorii and a Resurrect-o-nomitron. 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.

''Apartment Life'' is required to resurrect the Tricous using this method. This method can be done without any cheats.

3. Go to the Gothier Green Lawns. You need an adult for the next step.

7. Resurrect all the other Tricous (this step, you can either resurrect them all perfectly, or make them all zombies.)

For those who do not have ''University'' or ''Apartment Life'', there is a fifth way to resurrect the Tricous: using the Genie Lamp. The Genie Lamp can be used to resurrect a dead sim, but only if your sim knows them. This is where boolprop should be utilized.

#Now that the cheat has been activated, scroll the cursor over one of your sims. Shift + Click on the sim.

#The players should see an option that says "Spawn..." Click on that and first choose "Tombstone of L and D." Shift + Click and choose "Spawn..." again. This time, choose "Sim Modder." These two cheat items take the form of a tombstone and baby, respectively. The third and final item you will need to spawn is the Genie Lamp. Click "More" until you see it.
