      i say it in all the videos. The only thing the sims 4 is at this point in time. Is a platform for the sjw devs to cram more of their militant leftist millineal dogshit down your throat. In new and obnoxious ways. As proven by every expansion up to and including the upcoming one. Good writing and genuine creativity is completely fucking impossible for modern leftists. The only thing they know how to do is scream propaganda at people,and infect everything you enjoy like the fucking parasites they are.

    My theory is that The Tricous might be a family of Vampire Hunter who's life is all about Vampire Hunting. They build their house above Vampire Burial Grounds, where the last 2 Vampires were kept imprisoned and guarded from roaming Downtown by the Tricous. They were rich because people paid them for Vampire Hunting, but as there's no Vampire left to hunt, the Tricou's fortune depleted and their descendants were living in Poverty, which is why most of them died of Starvation. The scion of the Tricou fortune were the two Teenage grandchildren who's tragically killed by a falling satelite that destroyed the Tricou Estate, leaving it Bare and Ugly, because it's gutted by the fire caused by the falling satelite, killing the two Grandchildrens, from satelite and from fire respectively. Rainelle is the new owner of the house, as historic lover, she bought the ruins of the former Tricou Eastate and do a renovation, to restore it to it's former glory. As she restored parts of the house, she discovered a secret door leading down to the two mysterious coffin deep underground. As they say, curiosity killed the cat, and Rainelle's curiosity lead to her opening the Coffin, unleashing the Vampires once more. finally free of the Tricou's imprisonment. She died frightened of these Vampires, and now we have Count and Contessa vampire roaming Downtown, once again free with a mission to quench a thirst of not drinking blood for centuries.

      Will Wright and Maxis Studios created the Sims. He sold out to EA games. This explains the not so detailed Sims 3 and the alternative universe of Sims 4, which is devoid of any good stuff from the other Sims games. Will Wright also created other games like Sim City and helped create Second Life.

    I remember when I was playing a family and I was saving up to get that house and at the time I had no idea the house had 3 ghosts already haunting the place😂 So when I eventually did move the family in I checked the backyard and saw the graves, but I didn’t delete them because that can cause corruption to the game and I didn’t bother moving them to the cemetery because I thought they would be ok they won’t do any harm, but I guess I was wrong because 1 member of the family got scared to death and I was pretty annoyed by it😂 I always thought that the lights mostly being dim and switching off was a glitch with the game, but as I got older and replayed the sims 2 I realised that’s just how the house is meant to be like. I also wish that they had pre-made families in the downtown neighbourhood just like with Bluewater village and have a sort of mini story. Maybe even having all members of the Tricou family alive would be pretty interesting, but at least they can be resurrected.

    I wish it was talked about in this video that Rainelle (who moved into the house after) had an affair with Kiernen(Nyllisit's husband) and she caught him cheating... shortly after the Tricou's died and then Rainelle died in the house from fright (I presume it's because of being haunted by Kiernen's daughter) or the both of the teens that were there as ghosts.
    Also, most of the Tricous really don't like Kiernen, Gauvdoin doesn't like her grandma and I believe doesn't really like her aunt either. Nyllisit and her husband aren't close, her and her sister and her mother aren't close either. She also grew up badly all throughout her life and same with her daughter, even though she was taught all her skills and was taught to study..Quite a few of them also had turn ons for vampires...
    It's a very mysterious family that I wish would have been dived into more! As well as I wish EA had written bios for them to explain further what happened but I guess they leave the players to sort of make that story up for them.

    One time I played at resurrecting the Tricou family. John Smith resurrected the two teens first, then one of them resurrected Kiernan. Kiernan in turn resurrected Jennicor. Now normally, sims that are resurrected well are very happy about being brought back and will get a rather high friendship with that sim. Jennicor took that one step further by almost immediately falling in love with Kiernan! I had not expected that. The feeling turned out to be mutual so I wound up moving them in together. Guess marriage in the sims really is 'till death do you part!

  • @ayatonic
    @ayatonic Před 3 lety +9

    After watching this video I was really intrigued by this family and they have become my favorite! So I did lots of digging around the internet and in my own game, and have come up with a few theories. Well, they're more like personal beliefs lmao but it's fascinating enough that I want to share! Long post warning:
    The first of which being that I don't think all six of the members who died from starvation actually did die from starvation. It's possible that at least some of them did, but I've been starting to think it might not have been all of them because of the moving tombstones glitch that seems to happen when a tombstone is sent to the cemetery. In fact, there's a good deal of evidence the glitch happened to Jon Smith from this same family. His ghost is labeled as a starvation ghost, but some of the family members received an inheritance from him, which is only possible when a Sim dies of old age. I'm not really sure how the others would have gone, but nobody who is buried at the house was said to have died of starvation, so it makes me wonder! The other reason I question though is because no one really has consistent memories of the deaths. I noticed that they all seem to display a different order, which... would be strange for something like starvation when you consider that this family owned an 85,000 Simoleon mansion and probably was not poor. To me, it would seem that family members dying from the same thing would have been a mass event, but the memories aren't really in support of that since the children (who didn't die from starvation) are sort of mixed into the ordering too. It would just be one massive coincidence that everyone starved and burned to death at the same time. The other possibility would have been people getting memories from beyond the grave, but as it seems, most of them think they were the last to die.
    That was long, sorry! But now onto my other belief...which also might be long lol. I kind of don't think that Sims 3 Fricorith is... a canon appearance of his. Well, there are aspects about him that I don't find harm in going with because Maxis Made Him lmao, but I really think his appearance overall was meant to be an easter egg more than anything else. There's honestly way too much about him that doesn't really line up with the timeline in the Sims 2 (mostly based on the stuff I mentioned above). If Fricorith really did die somewhere other than the House of Fallen Trees, it would make more sense to have occurred as a tragedy that happened on a vacation or something. He is clearly not listed as the first to die in anybody's memories (since Jon Smith was lol), so it's unlikely the family simply lived somewhere else before. That, and his cause of death is different in the Sims 3, because satellite death didn't exist in that game. His appearance is also totally different too, so I just have a hard time fitting it in with the main timeline. I think that his personality is consistent though, and I agree with the idea that him being there at all would suggest the family died a long time ago! But ultimately, I think he's just a nod. (Oh, and a totally interesting but nitpicky sidenote: I moved a family into the mansion where Fricorith is buried... and when his ghost showed up he was PISSED! Something that I've been told would happen if a new family moved into the house where a ghost died lmao. I know that's nitpicky because Sims 2 came out before Sims 3 and they probably didn't plan for Fricorith to be making any cameos, but I wanted to mention it.)
    My absolute last theory that kind of stems from the starvation one is that, like many believe, the Tricous might not have all been human. I like to think they're at least vampire enthusiasts because of ... many factors honestly lol but I've been told Jennicor has pointed ears so it made me wonder!
    But uhhh, yeah. This is a ridiculously long comment that I will be surprised if anyone reads, but I welcome it because this family fascinates me and I wanna talk about them lol. If anyone Does make it this far, let me know what you think!! I could be a little too invested in a Sims family, but there's really no way I believe these guys weren't made to be studied ajshdkfjhg

    I thought my sim was marrying a random npc but turns out it was one of the “Swans Teens” that show as Jon Smith Tricou’s child but not in his family tree. I was first confused as to why she had siblings but never had a npc have siblings before. I randomly age teens into college.

    You gotta love the sims 2 lore, it's fantastic!
    I play with this family (well, actually with the teens, they are adults in my game at the moment). I play in spanish, so I know them by the family name "Lucero". When I resurrect everyone Galatea (her spanish name, the teen girl, haha) hated every single one of her family (except her grandfather and cousin)... her father and aunt had and affair (yikes), and she knew it, her grandmother was her enemy... Long story short, when she came back home (I used mods just for storytelling reasons) she took revenge on all her family!
    The two of them had their own family, I always love the goth ones, lol 😂😂

I noticed that she had 5 “foster siblings” and a foster father who had another family that was dead. I was so confused! So cool finding out the story! And it’s good to know my foster teens story also fits in with the lore! I gave Emily a new look as an adult with a black dress and updo and I absolutely love it.

  • @kathryncampbell4432

    Never knew all this about them when I ended up resurrecting 'em all: I had one of my teen sims befriend this blonde, gothic kid that accidentally ended up dying because I had an unfed cowplant on the lot (I also had resurrectonomitron).
    So, the full process for how I did this:
    Step 1: befriend a sim even gothier than the Goths.
    Step 2: invite them over.
    Step 3: have a cow plant with its cake out.
    Step 4: when sim inevitably goes for the cake and dies, have Ressurrectotron and plenty of simoleons ready.
    Step 5: have the sim who befriended them call up the Grim Reaper and resurrect them.
    Now you have that sim as part of your household, but wait, there’s more:
    Step 6: get confirmation by checking this sim’s family tree in the relationships panel (now, unusually, they’ll have a rather extensive family for being just a townie sim), this will tell you if you’ve got the right guy.
    Step 7: with money and Grim Reaper phone ready, have that sim call up the Grim Reaper to resurrect a relative (heck, if you’re lucky, you could even roll that as the sim’s wish).
    Congratulations, you just resurrected the entire family of the former owners of that mansion.
    I goofed step 5 because they actually ended up becoming a zombie.
