  • In this episode of The Sims 3 Lore & Stories, we're exploring the backwater bayou of Twinbrook (Ambitions) to meet the rumored "inbred" Bayless Family. But is this rumor true or is there another explanation for the linear family circle?
    I'll explore those theories, comment on southern stereotypes, and we'll get to know the family on their own terms - camouflage and all. What do you do with the Bayless Family of Twinbrook and what do you believe is the truth about their history?

    Honestly I can forgive the Sims for having stereotypical families and Sims because thats basically the whole game lol. It’s supposed to reflect the curent pop culture and trends and many of their Sims follow other stereotypes. That being said, I’m glad you cleared things up about the south in the US. Unfortunately, to many countries the only impression they get about other places is through the media, which exaggerates everything. I mean, the whole Alabama joke still exists, even though I doubt inbreeding is that common in Alabama lol.

      Countries that practices or previously had a history of inbreeding/anything that is uncommon is always gonna leave an impression to the world. No matter how much they had progressed from the past, it's a stigma that will linger forever. Similarly, if a country was previously known for cannibalism, ofc that is the first thing that comes to mind that people are gonna think about.

I’m a city kid, I grew up and was raised in the city right next to the rural areas some of my family lives in, but I know my family that lives out in “no man’s land”, as my moms always called it because they’re home is literally miles from everything and so is almost everyone else’s, call their area the glades or the pinelands (although now my cousins who grew up there call it ‘pine coast’).

I guess it's because if it's a sims family it makes it more than just a stereotype. In the older sims games you could make very good and fun to play sims whose personalities would show really well in the gameplay (*would show more than as just a pic with a text if you know what I mean👀), so the sims you're playing would feel like true individuals.

      Heck, even up north where I'm from! People changing their names to be more pronounceable, or because it sounds like an insult in English (Wackoff to Waykoff, for example). Or even get saddled with something worse, because the day their great grandparents came through Ellis Island, the guy taking names was a jerk. People trying to apply English spelling to an Italian or Polish pronunciation can come up with some WILD stuff.

    4:57 Talking about stereotypes, they don't really bother me but I'm from the North of England and a few years ago it was reported in the papers that British film/TV people (mostly the BBC if I remember) would for the most part only hire northerners as like the help or lower class, stuff like that in films and shows I guess because our accents would be considered common and working class, I just remembered thinking it sucks because I'd love to hear more Yorkshire accents on TV, might be a bit biased but I think we've got the best range of accents in the uk

    You are spot on about sloppy record keeping. When I looked into my mom's family, her grandfather - who came from Denmark - had 8 different spellings of his last name for him and his 10 siblings. And these were church records, done by the local village priest. Then he came over here, and changed his name completely. And of course, he spelled it differently every time he wrote it. As for inbreeding, one county here in Missouri consisted of prime farmland owned by a handful of families. Since they wanted to keep the farms in the same families, and not let "outsiders" horn in on their properties, they pretty much married each other - generation after generation. My one uncle came from one of the families, and you could definitely see the adverse affects - he was batcrap crazy. As for that "river land" stuff, we always called the area along I-40/64 the Gumbo Flats - because of the quicksand-like mud. (It's been renamed Chesterfield Valley by the Yuppies who live there now). And the bottoms along Hwy 70 in St. Louis County were always known as the Missouri Bottoms. Both areas border the Missouri River, and used to be prime farmland, but are now mostly covered in concrete and outlet malls. Great for when the levies break and the river floods. Like almost every Spring.

More people need to hear this, especially Northerners and the west coast.

Ive lived in Louisiana my entire life but dropped my accent as I got older because I moved to the more urban areas in/around New Orleans where southern accents are less common so I was insecure about it, but the accent still comes out sometimes if Im angry or around someone with it (or if I have too much to drink lol) and my fiancee loves it which has made me debate on picking it up again haha

    my family is also from the Ozarks and my mom does genealogy. She has tracked us down a dozen or so generations I think down her line and a little less down my dad's side. My mom was resigned that inbreeding would probably happen but it wasn't too bad for us.
    There was one time that she found I think it was records of a woman's cousin and husband with the same name and thought it was the same guy, but all the records contradicted each other (and I think their dads had the same name too??) until she finally found a second burial site and death certificate that confirmed that it was two separate men. EXTREMELY funny story to hear after seeing less fortunate instances in the family tree.

    I really liked this video, I love Twinbrook with all its swampy charm and its lovely unique families, so it was nice to have a look at one of them. I also appreciated the Southern history bit, it was really interesting. But calling Chase unfortunate looking is pretty harsh imo, she's charming in her own way (or maybe I'm biased because I look a little bit like her but way less pretty). That's what I actually like in a lot of Twinbrook's families, a lot of them have pretty unique features and even after few generations you can still look at sims and just see who they descend from based on their features.
    But anyway, I would love to hear more about other families of Twinbrook
