One of these things just doesn't belong here...

 Four of these things belong together. Four of these things are kind of the same. Can you guess which one of these doesn't belong here? Now it's time to play our game. It's time to play our game!

This is the same sim at different ages. Can you spot the inconsistency?

Also, can anyone explain this? Is it a flaw in the template design? That's what I'm guessing.

 
 
Bonus question: Which premade sims are the parents?

Yeah, true. Doing all the ages and getting them all to be consistent would be awful. :)

I dislike mixing in the different games in the Wiki, too. I think the worst of this is the Landgraab family tree. Guys, it's not the same sims. Let it go.

Haha, what's your theory, again? I know some people believe she might be Glarn's sister, but she's not in the family tree, so that's why I thought ex-wife seemed more likely, given that she has the same last name and she appears to possibly have slept in the same bed as him in the first story pic (I disregard the fact that he's still pregnant in that shot - probably a quirk of an early game version). The memories are only Lola and Chloe remembering them breaking up, so you can just delete those.

I just wanted to give the Tricous SOME memories, because they only had some very crappy ones of each other dying, if I recall correctly. The story roughly goes that the dude (romance sim) who's married to the blonde sister cheats on her with Rainelle Whatever, and then she catches them and kills them both, then the whole family and herself. Makes a good ghost story. The lot is probably built on top of an old indian burial ground, too.

I didn't really add too much of my own stuff, in case I made it sound like I just made up a whole lot of shit and stuck it in there. :P It's mostly just very small things here and there, and mostly in sims that have little or no memory from before, like the college sims - now they remember growing up from child, for example, and a couple of them have a 'grew up badly' in there.

What I MOSTLY did is fixing a lot of things that were wrong, and by that I mean... the order of the memories, for example. Have you looked at the memories of anyone in Veronaville? Important things are missing, and what's there is all screwed up. Cordelia is somehow the youngest sister, according to Consort's memories, even though she's clearly the oldest (the heiress) and has the oldest children. Antonio doesn't remember woohooing his wife, even though he's got two kids with her. The Montys seem very confused about exactly how many children and grandchildren they have, and when they had them. And so on. And examples from other 'hoods: Brandi remembering Skip dying before Beau was born, which is impossible, unless she's got some sort of sperm-retaining special abilities. Promotions being linked to the sim instead of the correct career. Dina kissing Michael Bachelor while still a teen. Missing events, like sims not ever making out with their spouses ever, or remembering their first woohoo. There's like a billion things and I can't remember half of it.

I fixed it because I just wanted everything to be right, it wouldn't feel "clean" to me otherwise. I tried to make them as close as possible to what actual gameplay would give you.
