-- Tree of all families --
Hi, Iām AliceFromCrazyLand!
Iāve been playing The Sims 2 for over 17 years, and storytelling has always been my favorite part of the game. After taking a two year break, I finally decided itās time to share some of my Simsā stories with you.
Right now, Iām playing in Ciemnogród, a beautiful custom-made Polish neighborhood created by Otoczeniarnia. It has such rich lore and atmosphere that it completely pulled me in and inspired me to continue the stories in my own way. All credit for the world itself goes entirely to Otoczeniarnia Iām just building on the amazing foundation they created.
In my save, 63 years have passed since the very beginning, and Iāll be posting short introductions about each family and their ancestry before diving into the more dramatic parts (and trust me, thereās plenty of that xD).
My game is in Polish, so some names might sound a little funny in English, but Iāll do my best to keep the meaning behind them.
Let's start with Doughnuts and Cheesecake family. I wrote their connenctions with other families, It will link them together after posting everyone :D
Doughnut Family
Ancestors of Bozydar and Blueberry, former bakery (now Deli) owners.
From the top left:
Katarina (black hair) - daughter of Violetta and sister of Sven (Cheesecake family), wife of Eric, and mother of Paul and Maria. Sheās had a really unfortunate life (due to my poor storytelling) and lots of drama followed her.
She cut all contact with her mother after catching her with her ex-fiancĆ© Julian (String family). She never got along well with Sven, especially after finding out he used to heavily bully her husband. She also despises her sister in law after what she did during her and Ericās wedding. She is an artist and does pottery as a hobby, and all I want for her now is a peaceful, happy life with Eric and their kids.
Eric (readhead) - son of Andrew and Megan, brother of Madeline, husband of Katarina, and father of Paul and Maria. He stole Katarinaās heart despite being younger. He used to fight constantly with his little sister and was actually glad when she got kicked out after getting pregnant as a teen. He absolutely hates her and her husband Leshek (from Sweetbun family) for proposing during his own wedding. Sven, his brother-in-law, is his lifelong arch-enemy. Heās bold, ambitious and dreams of becoming the cityās mayor someday, but for now, family comes first.
Paul (baby) ā son of Katarina and Eric, still a baby. Not much to say yet, except that heās adorable and looks a lot like his grandma Megan.
Patricia (teen with brown hair) ā daughter of Brigitte and girlfriend of Darren (Law family). She doesnāt know her father and never really cared. Sheās super sporty, I imagine her practicing martial arts or boxing every day. As a Romance Sim sheās had a few dates, but decided Darren is the one, since they both love sports and sparring. Darren's ex Rosalie is freaking her out.
Brigitte (leopard dress)ā sister of Andrew and mother of Patricia. The ultimate village boss babe/femme fatale. She romanced half the neighborhood and one day decided she wanted a baby... so she had one. She owns the family business, the Brigitte's Deli, where she cooks and sells homemade meals. Sheās also written two cookbooks about Ciemnogród cuisine.
She doesnāt need a man in her life (especially after her awful relationship with her father, Bozydar) and has broken many hearts, even turning down an engagement with Jacob (Dumpling family) when she was younger. Sometimes she still wishes her mom Blueberry was around.
Megan (sitting)ā wife of Andrew and mother of Eric and Madeline (Sweetbun family). Sheās still mourning the loss of her teenage sweetheart, Andrew, they were together their whole lives. She works as the second cook in the family Deli, which she loves. These days she spends most of her time caring for her grandkids, who bring her a lot of joy.
She regrets how she and Andrew treated Madeline when she got pregnant and wants to fix their relationship, though she still thinks the engagement during her brotherās wedding was disrespectful thatās why she never told Madeline about her fatherās illness.
Maria (in Megan's lap) ā daughter of Katarina and Eric. Still a toddler, but sheās already a daddyās girl and loves spending time with the family cats.

Nighty, Felicia, Filemon, like most cats in whole neighborhood are ancestors of ZbiGNIEW the cat. ( You can find their tree here ;D)
Cheesecake Family
Ancestors of Sophia and Finn Cheesecake, as well as Karen Sweetbun and Paul Breadroll, owners of a beauty salon.
From the top left:
Sven (Iron Maiden shirt) - son of Violetta and Aart Cheesecake, brother of Katarina, husband of Eliza, father of Femke and Adela. The only memory he has of his father is his funeral. He grew up angry... angry that his father died too soon and angry that his mother never paid him enough attention. Violettaās coldness taught him early that emotions make you weak, which led him to bully Matthias(Presbytery) and Eric (Doughnut) during their school years. Eric made it worse by falling for Svenās sister, Katarina.
As an adult, Sven channels that rage into creativity, he writes thriller stories set in fictional Ciemnogród, inspired by a thirty year old murder mystery. (Origin of the neighborhood story). He wants his daughters to grow up strong and independent and will not let any loser near them. He still loves Eliza in his own complicated way, but after having children, his attention often drifts elsewhere, creating quiet tension between them. He also thinks Katarina is overly dramatic for cutting ties with Violetta, even if Violetta was far from a warm mother.
Eliza (adult readhead) - wife of Sven, mother of Femke and Adela. She is a celebrity attorney who works closely with Bad Liquor band and wishes her client Claudia (String Family) were easier to talk to. Eliza adores her daughters and wants whatās best for them, particularly worrying about Femke being bullied for her birthmark. She sometimes wonders if Sven still sees her as he did before they had children and wishes he were more romantic. (Eliza was a dormie and Sven's father had romance with her, but I erased her memory and treated as different Sim)
Violetta (elder) - daughter of Karen Sweetbun and Paul Breadroll, half-sister of Braian (Sweetbun Family), mother of Sven and Katarina. (One of the oldest Sims in the save, Violetta has lived through every kind of drama) She had an extremely rough childhood, growing up in a trailer where her mother took in clients. She despised her mother, her younger brother, and her situation, and often ran away. She eventually met two boys: Aart Cheesecake and a town boy. After one wild party, she discovered she was pregnant and didnāt know the father. Aart never found out, and with help from his parents, they married as teens. Their marriage was full of fights and cheating, and after Aartās fire accident, Violetta finally claimed her freedom.
She was never a caring mother, leaving most of the parenting to Aartās parents, Finn and Zofia, who raised Sven and Katarina. Later, Katarina cut ties with her completely after catching her with Katarinaās ex-fiancĆ©, Julian (String family). After Sophiaās death and big inheritance, Violetta opened a beauty salon Viola's Beauty and embraced the luxurious life she had always wanted.
Femke (toddler) - daughter of Sven and Eliza, sister of Adela. A toddler, already learning that the world isnāt always kind. She worries when other kids notice her birthmark but finds comfort in her motherās arms and her playful sister, Adela. Her parents try to shield her, but little Femke is already curious and strong. Sometimes, she notices strange shadows near Adela... but she is never afraid and always manages to chase them away.
Adela (blond child) ā daughter of Sven and Eliza, sister of Femke. Adela has always been full of laughter and warmth, like a sun in the sky. She is incredibly friendly and social with everyone she meets, even her cold father is charmed by her. She loves playing with the family cats and her beautiful younger sister. Adela wants to grow strong to protect Femke from harm.
Yet there is something unsettling about her... sometimes shadows linger just beyond sight when she moves, and she often has nightmares of a long-redhaired woman reaching for her, pulling her into darkness... Even in daylight, a strange weight and quiet unease follow her wherever she goes.
