Default Tricou Gardens
Hi all, this is my new hood to play in and here is how it is set up.

Tricou Gardens.
Using clean Pleasantview and empty templates for the rest creating a hood and attaching one of the Uni. sud-hood (Sim State) to it and using the move teen to collage option I sent all 6 Tricou teens there putting them in a 6 room dorm.

Now there names may or will be different in your game but here they are in mine.
There names on the Wiki are as follows. http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Tricou_family
Orion.
Tiave.
Loren.
Patrick.
Swan.
Kestrel.

In the same order as the Wiki but renamed in my hood, yes I change there last name to Tricou.
Rickey Tricou. (Yes I had to remove the goth look.) 1st Pic.
Daryl Tricou. (No changes were made.) 2nd Pic.
Forrest Tricou. (No changes were made.) 3rd Pic.
Rickey Tricou. Yes same name as the first one. (No changes were made but his hair changed when he age up.) 4th Pic.
Brenda Tricou. (No changes were made.) 5th Pic.
Jessica Tricou. (No changes were made.) 6th Pic.


When they age up these are the clothes they got and I have not changed them. (I like to keep it as Maxis chooses.) The only CC I use is skintones made by Aquilegia over at GOS called "You Are What You Eat".
http://www.digitalperversion.net/ga...hp?topic=9469.0

Now what I will do is have them all graduate from college and use them as the founders of this new hood, each will have there own home that will grow around them as the money comes in.

The question is who will they marry.
Both Downtown and Sim State have all there normal Sims so it comes down to which Sim will be lucky to get one of the founders.

This is my dilemma I don't know who to chose so I will leave it up to you here at MTS to give me some suggestions.

Thank you all for your time and I hope you will enjoy this thread.

I will open a picture thread in "Sims 2 Pictures" forum and will add more pics there once they get married.

Since no-one else has responded yet, I'll see if I can kick things off. I don't have University (not sure if I want it) so I really don't know the university Sims, but I do of course have the Downtownies. All the Tricou kids are involved in my game, but as yet only two are playable. I'll give their names so it's easier to refer to them.

In the Wiki order my Tricous are:
BJ Shaikh (Orion)
Don Ng (Tiave)
Weldon Roennigke (Loren)
Ravi Bertino (Patrick)
Lauren Cox (Swan)
Noelle Howe (Kestrel)

They all have the names the game gave them; I assume they've all taken their mothers' surnames. BJ and Ravi are the two playables, and they are both in relationships. Ravi is in an open gay relationship with Jack Gill, a CAS teen, so that's not much help to you. BJ is going steady with Kendra McCarthy and they seem to be getting on well. I'm glad he likes her because some of my teens can't stand her. Just let's say she can be hard to get on with. Unfortunately Kendra's a Veronaville townie, not a Downtownie, so again not of much use to you. Recently all the Tricous had a reunion at BJ's house, and Gavin Newson happened to be there because he had come home from work (in the medical career) with BJ. The boys organising the reunion (Ravi and BJ) thought it a good idea to put Gavin with Lauren and Noelle to see if he got on with either of them. In the event he sat a long time on the sofa with Noelle, but no one knows yet if anything will come of it. The story is on my Simblr. I know you have the Newsons in your game, because you gave them to me, but I don't know if they're in this 'hood. But, if you do have them, I suppose it's an idea. Don Ng is on the fringes of downtown Veronaville's promiscuous gay set, and has changed his hairstyle to fit in better. Mine are all still teens and, as far as I know, none are even thinking of marriage yet, It's highly unlikely that Ravi or Don will ever marry or have children.

Those are all the actual relationships involving my Tricous to date. If I think of any Downtownies that I think might make good matches, I'll post again. Now the rest of you, who actually know the university Sims, who would you suggest?

All Sims are beautiful -- even the ugly ones.

Sims' lives matter!
The Veronaville kids are alright.

Maxis chooses clothes terribly. At least change the one where the top doesn't meet the pants and the soccer uniform (also, those pink jeans don't go with that cowboy shirt). XD

I'm going to wait till after they move back to the main hood and then post more pics of the clothes they change into.

@AndrewGloria I used clean and empty templates so I do not have the bin sims in this hood or the Pleasantview townies.

The only eligible Sims are from Uni. Sims State and Downtownies.


@Charity Brenda needs a new hair do plus a dif. shirt and Jessica will get a full make over from head to toe and that hat has got to go. (This will happen as soon as they get back to the main hood.)

I will post before and after pics for you all to see.

I renamed almost all of the Tricou teens to have the first names from Sim Wiki. I mean, I love my name mod, but I just could not leave Orion as Damanjeet Fish But Swan is Rayya in my game because the game gave her that name and I liked it for her.

I'm really liking a few of the relationships they've found themselves in, but I don't think it will help you since they're with playables from hoods. Orion is dating Mercutio Monty, and they're adorable together! I have a mod that allows male-male or female-female sims to have babies together, so I expect they'll have some biological children when they graduate university. Kestrel is dating Ripp Grunt, and they're kind of a match made in heaven- both fun and just wanting to have a good time! The rest haven't found love yet.

In terms of who to marry, I don't know the downtownies/dormies well enough to choose. I'd say have them greet all walkby sims and see how they interact/who the Tricous roll wants about. That's how I like to decide who my sims will marry.

I guess if I'm picking from Sim State playables (if you still have them, I'm not sure, since you said you use empty templates) then I could possibly see Swan as a good match with Ashley Pitts, since they're both kind of mean. Maybe they'd get along. Swan/Rayya in my game is very rough around the edges, it could be interesting to pair that with someone who's supposed to be "popular" like Ashley (but who's really bad at it because he alienates others with his meanness). Plus romance/pleasure sims often get along well.

After thinking about it over night it will be very hard for all of you to chose who they will hook up with.

This is what I have decided to do, while at school they will scoop room and talk to any that light up then I will have them talk to those that were marked and have 2 or more bolts until they get a relationship of at least 80 on at least 3 (min of 2) then invite them over and the one they chose to flirt with will be the one they will marry.

If by chance they do not find at least 2 bolts on any sim at collage then after moving back to the main hood I will use the gypsy matchmaker to do the matching.

ADD: Ok the first Tricou has made his choice by flirting all on his own with Robin Reeves.

2nd Tricou has chosen and again flirting all on her own Jessica chose JJ Tylor.

ADD again.
3rd has been chosen by being flirted with interducing Lakshmi Pratt. In the nick of time to for he will go to finales in less than 1 hour from the time of the pic.

Default Rickey Tricou (Orion)
Ok Rickey found the love of his life, made it through collage, bought his first house and got his girlfriend to move in with him.

1st is what he grew up in.
2nd pic is what I change him to .
3rd pic is what his girlfriend grew up in and will be changed over time.

All of the first houses that they will move into will be the cheapest Maxis house with a little remodel for some more room.

I will change up the color for the houses and maybe do small changes to each house but no more pics of this house will be uploaded.

After they make some money they will get better houses.
