I am playing the Downtown teenage children of Jonathan Tricou for the second time. Years ago I played them through university, set them all in the House of Fallen Trees, and wrote their story. The Skintone4 character was a family sim, and fell in love with a vampire. They had a torrid romance, and he persuaded her to turn him vampire too; but when their son was born she persuaded him to turn back, so he could look after the baby during the day. The story was going well - and then just as I was preparing to upload it, EA stopped supporting The Exchange, so it never was read.
This time, once more they have made it through university and are pursuing their careers in the House. My favourite is the blonde chap who wore black lipstick as a teenager. His hobby is Nature, he looks after the greenhouse and goes out rambling. Once the make-up is off, his face is homely and craggy, but likeable. So far I have not played up the spookiness of the house, have not resurrected anyone, and there are no vampires. To make the house cheerful I typed this: SetLotLightingFile clear. That was so I could see their faces when they sat round the table. The only weirdness is that the Nature sim got abducted one night, and now has a green baby.
