Fixed Jessica Picaso was a breeding success!

I followed meetme2theriver 's directions for replacing the facial structure of the broken Maxis sims to give Jessica her fixed face, and then proceeded to breed up a family for the Picasos. Seems to have worked like a charm. Thanks, Meetme!

I've included a photo of my results, but be warned that it's a minor spoiler for the story. ;)

*Ponders* which is the "dead" family, then? I think they were connected to Nightlife and were brought back to life by some Megahoods to preserve ties - or something... EAxis liked to give us all these little easter eggs, didn't they? :D

You're thinking of the Tricous. They're deader than dead (or, well, just dead). I think they were included as a mystery to highlight the vampire element of Nightlife. Their property has a couple of caskets in the basement.

I'm a huge fan of the Easter Eggs. The game has so many things hidden in it.

If you don't use the clean or empty Nightlife template, the Tricous are an Easter Egg downtown. There are several downtownie sims who each know one or two of the family. By getting the correct teen townie sims to move into your family, thus making them playable (keeping in mind that NL was before we could grow them up using the FT birthday option) and if you get a resurrection phone, the various downtownie teens are the key to resurrecting the family.

I remember once seeing a tutorial on resurrecting all the Tricous. Might have been a link to an Exchange story, maybe? Either way, someone made a list of which teen to move in first, who they can resurrect, etc etc in order. Because not all the Tricous know one another. But if you move in the correct teens and if resurrect the dead sims in the correct order, you can resurrect the whole clan.

Or you can just use Mixreality's Downtown template and have them as a Downtown bin family :)

I've resurrected them before, and also Rainelle Neengia. It's a fascinating little mystery. There are six teen downtownies that are related to Jon Smith Tricou (in their family tree he's their lone parent), so they can be used to bring him back to life.

I like to speculate on how he's considered their "father". Factoring in the supernatural, I end up with more interesting theories. It's storytelling gold, I tell ya!
