My official headcanon for Twinbrook since the game came out is that they made all the houses purposefully super fugly so we can fix them with the Architectural Design career. The sims look EXTRA super fug in Twinbrook too so... fashion career 🤣🤣🤣

The Pidgin family it's supposed to be inspired on The Beale family from Grey Gardens, which is a true story about two socialites which slowly became riches to rags due to her father's going bankrupt. Their house on The Hamptons it's also very iconic since it's a gilded age cottage which ended up very run-down. Little Eddie it's a queen and a fashion icon.

The last guy in the untitled house is said to have lost his house in a fire so he moved into the barn. There is a dead sim who has his surname and she is buried in a junk yard with his name in the title. So I think it’s implied she was married to him and burnt in the fire. There is also a dead sim identical to her with the exact same face and who also died by fire but has the surname of another sim living in the world. They don’t have any relationship links (I think the creators forgot it or couldn’t be bothered to add it in just like they did with Isla Paradiso) I read on forums years ago that these were two twin sisters who died in a fire caused by the one sister’s husband (the guy in the untitled house) I love the ugliness and weirdness of these houses. Sometimes I like to play with the premade sims in the town and I like seeing how their strange personalities match their even stranger houses

Another theory is that instead of twin sisters they were clones of each other, hence the lack of relationship. the husbands are both into inventing as far as I can remember which helps this theory. one of the husbands made a clone of his wife, for the other guy, is the way the theory goes - then the fire happened

I like the exterior of Subdivision Model B. The exterior is very clearly based on Mary-Alice Young’s house from Desperate Housewives, which was also the Leave It To Beaver house nearly 50 years beforehand (it didn’t have the dormers back then). Both TV shows were filmed on the same backlot in Hollywood. The mom in the family that lives in this house is dressed like the Leave It To Beaver mom, too! So when the lot description mentions “sitcom” they’re referencing Leave It To Beaver!

There's definitely too many hints of the EA design bureau to be certain on this, but I'm pretty sure a lot of Twinbrook was purposefully made ugly and interesting. It's based off of the Bayous and the Swanee, where pellegra makes you scrawny, and the jasmine and the tear gas smell just fine. I kind of like it.

All that seating in the Portico Model 1 is supposed to like a sales area, to sell the cars (I have not played in Sims 3 for a while, but I do not know how functional it truly is), like a waiting area. However, it is not enough to pull it all off. Sadly, Sims 3 Ambitions just really only gave active careers, not cohesive businesses, like in Sims 2's OFB. There was so much more potential, but EA missed the mark. You definitely need more dlc to come even close to what OFB offered at its launch.

I have to say those bathrooms with the same tile on the walls and floor would drive me crazy. Put the loud color on the floor or the wall and let the other one be plain. I can't imagine walking into some of those bathrooms in real life. Oooo, windows! That last house was interesting and, yes, the "bathroom" where the tub is looks like it used to be a stall.

I have a purple and green kitchen in my actual apartment in real life. The only thing is: purple is used with grey (they are the major colours), and green is just in accents like the towel, the water jug etc. This is a one-room apartment, and I also have purple curtains, light green walls and light beige desk, wardrobe and floor. And I can assure you that this colour combination is really good. Everything depends on tones and... I have an impression like everything looks way better in reality, even the weirdest colour combinations. But not the baby-poo colour matched with orange, of course.😄
@Rekowcski Жыл бұрын
Don't worry I trust you, most simmers are better at colours than EA. I think purple is the only colour that can "rescue" green, they go very well together. I like bachelor apartments you can get really creative. I would probably choose a golden yellow that compliments the purple, but honestly both are a little strong so it might be too much.
