-- Tree of all families --

Hi, I’m AliceFromCrazyLand!

I’ve 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 it’s time to share some of my Sims’ stories with you.

Right now, I’m 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 I’m just building on the amazing foundation they created.

In my save, 63 years have passed since the very beginning, and I’ll be posting short introductions about each family and their ancestry before diving into the more dramatic parts (and trust me, there’s plenty of that xD).

My game is in Polish, so some names might sound a little funny in English, but I’ll 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. She’s 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-fiancé 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 Eric’s 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 Katarina’s 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. He’s bold, ambitious and dreams of becoming the city’s mayor someday, but for now, family comes first.

Paul (baby) – son of Katarina and Eric, still a baby. Not much to say yet, except that he’s adorable and looks a lot like his grandma Megan.

Patricia (teen with brown hair) – daughter of Brigitte and girlfriend of Darren (Law family). She doesn’t know her father and never really cared. She’s super sporty, I imagine her practicing martial arts or boxing every day. As a Romance Sim she’s 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)– 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. She’s also written two cookbooks about Ciemnogród cuisine.

She doesn’t 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)– wife of Andrew and mother of Eric and Madeline (Sweetbun family). She’s 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 brother’s wedding was disrespectful that’s why she never told Madeline about her father’s illness.

Maria (in Megan's lap) – daughter of Katarina and Eric. Still a toddler, but she’s already a daddy’s girl and loves spending time with the family cats.

Pets (from left):

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. Violetta’s 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 Sven’s 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 what’s 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 didn’t 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 Aart’s fire accident, Violetta finally claimed her freedom.

She was never a caring mother, leaving most of the parenting to Aart’s parents, Finn and Zofia, who raised Sven and Katarina. Later, Katarina cut ties with her completely after catching her with Katarina’s ex-fiancé, Julian (String family). After Sophia’s 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 isn’t always kind. She worries when other kids notice her birthmark but finds comfort in her mother’s 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) – 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.

Thank you so much for reading, I'm excited to share more 😁

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 -- Tree of all families --

Hello, today I present you with last part of families Introduction. This time we will concetrate on Creamcake Family, they also live in Tumidaj. They are closely related to Baguette Family, Severin and Agnes were half siblings from father's side.

Creamcake Family

From the top left:

Barbara (white dress) - wife of Przemysław, mother of Blaze and Andrew. Aka Celeste Midlock. Barbara met Przemysław while clubbing, at first, she didn’t pay him much attention. After all, she was quite popular back then. But Przemysław slowly opened her heart… through his exquisite cooking. They both love food, so building a relationship over dinners in fancy restaurants felt natural.

She currently works in business as a manager, but her real passion is baking desserts, if she could keep financiall stability, she’d trade her office for an bakery without hesitation. She was Przemysław’s backbone after everything that happened to him, staying by his side and helping him rebuild his life and home. She still remembers how lost he looked after the fire, and promised herself never to let him face darkness alone again. When the twins were born, they brought much-needed energy and hope for a better tomorrow.

Barbara trains the family’s Great Danes to protect their homestead. She loves both her sons, but Blaze was always the easier, warmer one - her favorite, though she’d never say it aloud. Andrew, on the other hand, often feels like a stranger to her. Sometimes she even catches herself wondering half-joking, half-serious, if he really came from the same hospital that night.

Przemyslaw (glasses) - son of Severyn and Adela Creamcake, brother of Aleksandra, husband of Barbara, father of Blaze and Andrew. Przemyslaw grew up in a good, wealthy house, always filled with family, whether it was his sister Alina or his grandfather Wlodzimierz (from the Baguette family). He and his sister had everything they ever wanted, often bullying other kids and feeling superior. He spent his teenage and early college years clubbing and dating random girls, Barbara was just another one at first.

Everything changed after one night, a call from the police that turned his world upside down. His family home was nearly destroyed, and the tragedy that followed left scars he never speaks about. The official report called it an accident, but something in him has never believed that.

Returning from college, Przemyslaw fell into deep depression and anxiety, living with his father in the only part of the house that survived, the garage. He watched his father slowly lose his grip on reality, haunted by things he claimed to see. Przemyslaw never talks about it, but sometimes, even now, when he closes his eyes, he feels the same chill.

Barbara stayed by his side, helping him through those years with her support and patience, he wouldn’t have managed without her. After years of hard work, they finally rebuilt the house, making it look just as it did before the fire.

Przemyslaw now works as head chef at Vidokowa Restaurant, a very high-grade place in Tumidaj. His dream is to write ten restaurant guides. He loves both of his sons but sees Blaze as the next culinary virtuoso. Still, sometimes, in the quiet of the night, he wonders if peace is something he’ll ever truly have or if the past is only sleeping.

Blaze (blue shirt) - son of Barbara and Przemysław, older twin brother of Andrew. Blaze is almost a perfect copy of his parents, in both looks and personality. He loves cooking and has already started helping in the kitchen, proudly baking muffins and trying to recreate his father’s recipes.

He doesn’t get along well with Andrew and always saw him as someone trying to steal their parents’ attention. Blaze enjoys order, praise, and the comfort of being “the good son.” He often invites his unlikely friend Roman (from the Sweetbun family), who seems to be the only person he can relax around. When no one’s watching, Blaze secretly keeps a notebook of his own scribbled recipes, determined to prove that one day, he’ll outshine even his father.

Andrew (colorfull hoodie) - son of Barbara and Przemysław, younger twin brother of Blaze. Andrew is a whirlwind of energy, always running, climbing trees, and testing how far his legs can take him. He loves bright colors, superheroes, and spending time with the family’s dogs and cat, he could probably live in their doghouse and be perfectly happy.

He likes his brother, but wishes Blaze weren’t so pushy and obsessed with their parents’ approval. Sometimes he feels invisible at home, and even though he doesn’t say it out loud, he’s learned to find warmth in small things, a wagging tail, a sunny morning, a kind word from his dad. When Barbara looks at him with that strange, uncertain smile, Andrew just laughs it off… though deep down, he knows she doesn’t understand him at all.

This would be it, thank you for reading. If you just came here, you can find ealier bios in the beginning of the post.

What I'm planning next is sharing the stories concetrated on one or two particular sims, what happened in their past (with pictures 😁) I hope those will be a little easier on the eye.

Especially because the first bios look a little short compared to the last three posts - sorry I never wrote anything for others.

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 -- Tree of all families --

Hello again, another part of my Sims introduction.

This time, we’ll take a look at the Rozijin and Law families, two seemingly ordinary homes. Because even Ciemnogród needs a few “normal” families… right?

Technically they live in subhood downtown called Tumidaj, a neighborhood I built from scratch, pics below.

Rozijin Family

Ancestors of Lars and Victoria Rozijin, they live in the

From the top left:

Sergius (sitting male) - husband of Martha, father of Simon. In his younger years Sergius was very handsome, the kind of guy everyone liked. Now he’s totally rocking his dad bod and claims he’s just “gained some wisdom” He works as a biology teacher and used to be an active member of the Garden Club. Of course, his real passion is gardening, he says it’s the only place where everything makes sense. Recently he found a stray dog in the park and, obviously, couldn’t resist adopting her. Doma quickly became his best friend and constant garden companion next to other doggo, Ebony. Lately, though, Sergius noticed a few strange plants growing in one corner of the garden, ones he’s sure he never planted. He removes them whenever they appear, but somehow, they always grow back. Doma and Ebony sometimes act strangely around that part of the garden, as if they’re afraid to go near it.

Sergius has a soft, kind heart. When he found out Martha was pregnant, he immediately bought a ring and proposed, no hesitation, just pure love and excitement. He was a bit nervous about what his father-in-law Lars would say, but his mother-in-law Victoria, adored him from the start. She loved gardening too, and that helped them connect right away.

He’s proud of having such a sporty and gorgeous wife and loves spending time with their son, whether they’re playing games together or grilling in his beloved garden. Deep inside, though, Sergius sometimes worries if Martha still finds him attractive now that he’s older. He even considers hitting the gym again, not because she asked, but because he wants to deserve her. Everyone says they’re the perfect couple… and Sergius believes it. After all, he can’t imagine a world where she doesn’t love him back.

Martha (sitting famale) - wife of Sergius, mother of Simon. Martha always thought about herself as hot and attractive, often using her looks to get what she wanted, and honestly, it always worked. She had many romances, even with married men like Braian (from Sweetbun family), but she never took any of it seriously. That is, until she got pregnant. She was surprisingly calm about it and actually wanted to become a single mother, freedom, independence, no man telling her what to do. But Sergius proposed, and she thought, why not give it a try? He was nice, stable, the kind of man who would never leave. She said yes, and for a while, everything looked perfect.

Martha is proud of her marriage or at least of how it looks from the outside. Her husband adores her, her career is booming, and she’s still the hottest mom at the volleyball court. She works as a professional volleyball player and has several big wins (and bonuses) to prove it. Just like her father Lars, she’s strong, competitive and hates losing.

Family-wise, she remembers growing up in a small house where her parents often argued about money and other things. So she’s genuinely happy that she doesn’t have to worry about that anymore, she’s finally “made it.” She’s related to the Cheesecake family, but the only person she keeps close contact with is Katarina (from the Doughnut family). Martha is technically her aunt, but since they were born close to each other, they grew up together and stayed close or at least that’s how it used to be.

Because there’s one thing Martha would never admit out loud, she used to sleep with Julian (from String Family), Katarina’s fiancé. Oh, but Julian was such a piece of cake… charming, handsome, a little arrogant, exactly her type. And it’s not like she stole him, they broke up later anyway, right? Right. Martha doesn’t lose sleep over her affairs. She tells herself it’s harmless, that she just enjoys attention. She doesn’t feel guilty, not until someone finds out. Because when someone starts whispering next ot her... that’s when her heart skips a beat. Not from guilt, but from fear.

For now, she smiles, plays, wins, and keeps her secrets buried under layers of perfume and perfect hair. Because as long as no one sees the cracks, her world stays flawless.

Simon (teen) -son of Martha and Sergius. Simon is as outgoing and easygoing as his mother, except that he uses his extroversion to actually talk to people, not to charm them. Even as a little kid he loved hanging out in the kitchen, always eager to help. When he grew older, he started experimenting with colorful drinks like the ones he saw bartenders make during family vacations. He dreams about getting a job as a barman, after all, you can meet so many interesting people while mixing flaming drinks and fancy cocktails.

Simon doesn’t talk about it, but sometimes he feels something strange in the air at home, moments of silence that shouldn’t be there, phone calls that stop when he enters the room. He loves his parents, but somewhere deep down he knows there’s something they’re not telling him. For now, he pretends not to notice. Instead, he keeps smiling and perfecting his drink-mixing skills. Maybe because bright, sweet colors are easier to understand than the grey secrets hiding behind them.

Pets from left side: Doma, Ebony

Law Family

The only family I created, ancestors of Gregory and Kristen Law, they basically live above prison and work as prison guards/police

From the top left:

Damian (policeman) - husband of Rebecca, father of Darren and Sylvia. The neighborhood’s protector of peace and quiet, a strong and successful policeman (but also “works” as a prison guard, as someone has to). He always wanted to follow in his father’s footsteps as a law protector. He’s very serious, even about petty crimes, constantly keeping an eye out for shady Sims in the area. He believes in law and order… though after arresting Braian (from Sweetbun family), he’s started wondering if all laws deserve to be 100% followed.

He met Rebecca during college and was charmed by her, she was older, responsible, and grounded. Back then, he also studied with Claudia (from the String family) and Brigitte (from the Doughnut family), so he saw plenty of immature girls. He’s still friends with Claudia, though, and secretly owns every Bad Liquor album.

Damian is strict with his children and insists they focus on proper education first. He hopes one of them will follow his path into law enforcement he’s certain it will be Darren, since he’s such an active basketball player. His daughter Sylvia reminds him of himself in many ways, though he wishes she were a bit tougher. Sometimes, when he can’t sleep, he goes up to the prison roof and watches the stars for hours.

Rebecca (standing female) - wife of Damian, mother of Darren and Sylvia. Aka Trista Phelps. She often works closely with her husband on cases, as she's involved in intelligence. She worries her line of work could one day put her family at risk, so she keeps a low profile as a simple police detective. In truth, she’s spent the last few years solving major, dangerous cases.

Rebecca met Damian when he was in college. He was very mature, handsome and sporty gentleman, so she decided to give him a chance. She loves her children deeply but wishes Darren would take life a bit more seriously and focus on his future. Sylvia is still her sweet little girl who used to dress up as a princess, Rebecca secretly fears some bad boy will break her shy and delicate heart. At times she catches herself treating every family dinner like an interrogation.

In her free time, she enjoys cooking and training their family’s police dogs. Sometimes, she still finds herself thinking back to that one unsolved case, the Creamcake House. The fire destroyed almost everything, yet she can’t shake the feeling that something… or someone… was left behind.

Darren (baseball cap) - son of Damian and Rebecca, older brother of Sylvia. The hood's handsome jock, Darren spends most of his afternoons on the basketball court, the only time his parents stop nagging him about being lazy. He loves his dad, but sometimes he dreams of missing a single shot in the game just to prove he doesn’t have to be perfect.

He used to date Rosalie (from the Baguette family), but she changed her mind. Darren always thought she was a little odd, even before her “change.” One day at the gym, he met a cool girl named Patricia (from the Doughnut family) and instantly fell for her, especially after she completely beat him in a friendly sparring match. During their dates, he can’t stop thinking what a firebomb she is.

Darren is slowly getting ready for college but still hasn’t decided whether to pursue a sports career or become a policeman… just to get his dad off his back. He pretends Sylvia annoys him, but he always walks her home from school.

Sylvia (next to pets) - daughter of Damian and Rebecca, younger sister of Darren. She recently became a teen, but her love for dressing up hasn’t faded. Sylvia is very passionate about clothes and has started making her own, first for her dolls, but she dreams of creating bigger designs one day. The shyest in the family, she’s often seen sneaking Leo the cat into her room to cuddle, after all, she’s his favorite human.

Beside her hobby, Sylvia wishes to find real love, just like in the princess books she adores. She loves listening to her parents’ police stories at night, even when they think she’s asleep, and occasionally tries on her mom’s badge in front of the mirror, wondering what it feels like to be feared.

I know I said the this post will be shorter but it didin't work 😂 Which character are you most curious about? Drop your thoughts or questions in the comments I would love to hear your opinion 😉

Here you can see a small snapshot of Tumidaj, but made ingame so the quality is.. questionable.

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 5 Part 6 -- Tree of all families --

Hello again, today I'm presenting you with another two of my familes, and they both have a special place at my heart as metalhead myself. Welcome String and Tune families, warning, this post will be long :)

My game is in Polish, so some names might sound a little funny in English, but I’ll do my best to keep the meaning behind them. I wrote their connenctions with other families, It will link them together after posting everyone.

String Family

Ancestors of Jack and Berry String

From the top left:

Julian (glasses) - son of Jack and Berry, younger brother of Gregory (Tune family) and Claudia, father of Danielle. Our neighborhood artist and photographer (he made every picture you can see in these posts :D), and also a backup synth player in his sister’s band. Julian spent all his younger years romancing every beautiful woman he met (Brigitte Doughnut, Martha Rozijin), even while being engaged to Katarina (from Doughnut family). She not only found out that he was cheating on her with some girl, but also that he had painted every woman he ever slept with.

It wasn’t his last meeting with Katarina, oh no. They met again during Sven’s wedding (from Cheescake family, Katarina's brother), where Julian was the photographer. How surprised Katarina was when she found her ex-fiancé hiding in a room with HER OWN MOTHER, Violetta, during the wedding party.

He is currently living in a renovated basement, next to his art room that nobody besides him can enter. His look at life changed after one of his “nightstand girls” left a baby in front of his door. He absolutely got enchanted by Danielle and now wants to be the best father ever., his whole outlook at life changed. He’s deeply sad that his mother, Berry, wasn’t able to meet his daughter as Danielle is basically her grandma’s clone. He’s super regretful about cheating on Katarina and thinks he never deserved her. He still hopes she’s happy.

Lately, he’s been spending more and more time with Brigitte again. She’s also raising her teenage daughter Patricia alone, and Julian sometimes wonders if maybe they should finally make things serious create a little patchwork family together. Unfortunately, he got into some financial trouble (–30k) at work, so he will probably still live in the basement for a while.

Danielle (toddler) - daughter of Julian, little sweetheart. She sometimes wonders where her mommy is, but who needs a mommy when you have two such cool aunts? Danielle loves to look at the stars she has on her ceiling and often dreams about touching the moon. She’s the absolute apple of her family’s eye her aunts and uncles adore her and spoil her every chance they get. Everyone says she’s almost a copy of her late grandma Berry, not only in looks but also in her cherfull personality and the way she loves cats.

Bart (teen) - adopted son of Yvone and Claudia. Dog lover and biggest fan of his mom Claudia. He thinks he’s super lucky to live in such a talented family. He also has a natural talent for music and already started learning drums. He wishes his mother Yvone could be a bit nicer and more open with him. He sings lullabies for Danielle and treats her like his little sister.

Bart is curious and adventurous, he loves exploring the neighborhood and meeting new people. Sometimes, while wandering near the woods, he thinks he glimpses a strange figure: a woman with long red hair, moving silently among the trees. He never gets a good look at her and quickly forgets, thinking it was just the shadows or his imagination. Despite being young, he already has a sharp sense of humor and often makes the adults laugh with his witty remarks. He’s fiercely loyal to his family and would do anything to protect them, especially Danielle. He often “motherizes” his little dogs, making sure they’re happy and cared for, and regularly calls his cousin Joanna (from Tune family) to ask how Rubi (sister of Opal, daughter of Amethyst) is doing.

Yvone (green hair) - wife of Claudia, mother of Bart, aka Ivy Butler. Drummer and co-owner of Bad Liquor, her and Claudia’s successful punk band. Yvone is also doing some illegal business on the side, but nobody knows about it. She agreed to adopt Bart but can’t really find a common language with him. In general, she’s antisocial besides her niece and wife, she prefers spending time with the family dogs.

Yvone also had a long-standing conflict with Claudia’s brother, Gregory. For years, they literally couldn’t stand each other, but after many years of arguing and fighting, they finally stopped beating each other up and things are much calmer now. She might end up in prison one day for a small mistake in her “work”, but she just can’t stop living without a bit of adrenaline. Often takes part in illegal motorcycle rides. Yvone often misses the days when she could perform freely, the adrenaline of concerts, the screaming fans, the energy of Bad Liquor. She hopes that they can come back to touring after Bart and Danielle grow up.

Claudia (red mohawk) - daughter of Jack and Berry, sister of Gregory (Tune family) and Julian, wife of Yvone, mother of Bart.

My favorite Sim. Frontwoman, guitarist, and vocalist of Bad Liquor, the band she created back in her Uni days. I imagine they add a little bit of synth to their punk music. She was super talented and musical from her toddler years, and her father started teaching her further. She remembers her musician parents always struggling with money, so when her gigs and first album started to be successful, she gave all the money back to her parents.

As a teenager, Claudia was super rebellious, trying to figure herself out. She often got in trouble, escaped in the middle of the night for parties, metal gigs and often was caught by the police for dangerous and unmature things she did with Yvone. Her parents were very worried about her future, thinking she will end in bad place. Claudia has tendency to give her all, either in her music, her shows or her family, she was always overly fixated on thigs she does. She also often quarrels with her lawyer, Eliza (from Cheescake family), but despite her fiery personality and strong opinions, Claudia is incredibly liked in the village.

She has kinda unusual, long-lasting friendship with Agnes (from Bagguete family), somehow the girls always found common language and Claudia helped Agnes to come put of her shell. On the other hand, Claudia always HATED Brigitte (from Doughnut family), fighting with her for years, and absolutely cannot stand the fact that her brother Julian is even interested in such woman, gross.

Sometimes she doesn’t believe she ended up with her teenage sweetheart Yvone, especially since she had a super passionate romance with her band’s bassist Chris during her on-and-offs with Yvone.

Clauida deeply misses her parents every day, she is happy to have her brother Julian by her side and in general, keeps close contact with Gregory, Edith, Joanna and Lilian (from Dumpling family). Even after years in the spotlight and lots of shows and money earned, Claudia stays humble. Late at night, after making sure Danielle and Bart are taken care of, she locks herself in her basement studio, writing lyrics, listening to some old-school death metal (maybe Obituary) while smoking a cigarette, as she plans her biggest album and tour yet... She’s fiercely loyal, protective of her family, and still wears the same black leather jacket she bought as a teen, now patched and worn, but her personal lucky charm.

Pets (from left):

Cats: Bilon, Ferret Dogs: Amethyst, Opal

Tune Family

Ancestors of Ophelia and Raphael Tune, and of Jack and Berry String, owners of Mocha Mayhem, a metal music café. They live in subhood downtown, a neighborhood I built from scratch (more on that in the next post).

Jack String (father of Gregory, Claudia, and Julian) and Ophelia Tune (mother of Edith), had a band together for years. (they also played with Finn Cheescake) That’s why these 2 families are so closely connected, heavier music basically runs through their veins. ;D

From the top left:

Joanna (blonde) - daughter of Edith and Gregory, younger sister of Lilian (from Dumpling family), and the biggest tomboy in the whole neighborhood. Joanna grew up close friends with Rosalie and Max (from Bagguete family) since kindergarten. She always had a crush on Rosalie, but knew Rosalie didn’t feel the same way.

Feeling a little hopeless, she decided to give Max a chance. After all, they had been friends forever, and their relationship was sweet at first. But when Max wanted to move things along faster than Joanna was ready for, she freaked out and threw him out in the middle of the night.

The real shock came when Joanna visited the Bagguetes’ house to apologize and officially break up with Max only to find Rosalie, completely changed, running straight into her arms. Overjoyed and surprised, Joanna finally let out all her hidden feelings. Max, unfortunately, walked into the corridor right then, causing a huge fight between him, Rosalie, their parents, and Joanna trying to separate them. Joanna wishes she could have ended things with Max on friendly terms, but she doesn’t regret a thing, she is madly in love with Rosalie and can’t wait until they move in together.

Besides breaking hearts, Joanna is passionate about fixing cars, often helping her father with renovations. She loves dogs, and the feeling is mutual. One day, she plans on training guide or medical dogs. Joanna doesn’t fully understand why Rosalie changed so much, but she promises to always protect her and be by her side. And Joanna always keeps her promises...

Edith (black hair) - daughter of Ophelia and Raphael Tune, wife of Gregory, mother of Lilian and Joanna, and quite possibly the most beautiful woman in the neighborhood. Her facecard never declines.

Edith was a happy accident between her parents, who were just meeting for fun. Her father Raphael decided to move in after she was born and became the best dad, treating Edith like a little princess. He eventually married Ophelia while Edith was a teen.

She fondly remembers her mother, who often took her to the studio and to musical jams at the café next door. Edith had a natural ear for music and a gift for guitar and vocals, which eventually made her a highly successful studio musician. She also contributed to her sister-in-law Claudia’s music albums. After years of saving, and with a little bonus from Claudia, Edith finally bought the café her mother had once jammed in. She just wishes her parents could see it today.

Her relationship with Gregory began as a long childhood friendship. Neither could find someone who cared about them for more than their looks, so eventually, they decided to try being together and it was the best decision of their lives. They now live happily, understanding each other so well that they can communicate without words. Edith is close to both their daughters and her husband’s family. She sometimes wishes she had siblings. These days, she focuses on building their business, maybe one day she’ll open a music cafe in Ciemnogrod too?

Gregory (brown hair) - son of Jack and Berry String, brother of Julian and Claudia (String family), husband of Edith, father of Lilian and Joanna. Our amateur mechanic and technical music assistant.

Gregory remembers living in tiny room with his siblings while his parents struggled financially. He was bullied for wearing simple second-hand clothes, until one little girl with a black braid stood up for him. That’s how he met Edith, and they became friends for years.

Gregory was handsome, and after working as a teen, buying a leather jacket, and riding a motorcycle, he quickly caught the attention of many girls. But after meeting some of them, he realized they weren’t interested in his personality. He finally tried his luck with Edith, and it was the best choice of his life. He loves his wife and daughters dearly and taught them to be strong and independent.

Gregory has always been a car enthusiast, starting in his teens. He loves digging into old cars, and his proudest accomplishment is renovating a Pontiac GTO, which he almost treats like a family member (you can see it at the family picture). Gregory had a long feud with Yvone. After she got Claudia in trouble, he was convinced she was trouble itself, always into shady stuff, dabbling in substances and petty crime, the kind of person you’d call “born under a bad star.” He was extremely surprised when Claudia became successful in her music career and not only renovated her parents’ home but also helped buy the café Gregory and Edith had always wanted.

He is super proud of his younger sister and constantly brags about her being a star. His relationship with Yvone has improved somewhat, but he still doesn’t fully trust her. Gregory always thought his younger brother had problems with women, and while he is glad Julian has finally matured, he can’t help but think with a smirk, that it probably won’t last long.

THANK YOU IF YOU MADE IT THAT FAR! I might went a little too far with those 2 families but they are my favourite, next post will be shorter, enjoy! 😂

Part 1 Part 2 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6 -- Tree of all families --

Welcome back, another part of my Ciemnogród families introduction.

My game is in Polish, so some names might sound a little funny in English, but I’ll do my best to keep the meaning behind them.

Say hello to Bagguete and Dumpling family. As before, I wrote their connenctions with other families, It will link them together after posting everyone :D

Bagguete Family

Ancestors of Wlodzimierz and Tatiana Bagguete, not mayors of the village, but still important. They are raising police German Shepherds.

From the top left:

Max (standing readhead) - Son of Henric and Agnes, brother of Rosalie, currently at university. His heart was not only broken but also shattered after he found his dear sister Rosalie kissing HIS girlfriend Joanna (from Tune Family). He hates her and will never forgive Joanna for pretending to like him only to be close to Rosalie.

He has just started to get back on his feet and dreams about finally finding a proper woman, as his personality slightly changed after the betrayal. His lifelong best buddy is Dominic (from the Dumpling family). Max doesn’t care what people in the village think about him, Dominic was always there for him when everything went to hell. A future policeman who likes building airplane models and wants ONLY ONE child.

Rosalie (edgy teen) - Daughter of Henric and Agnes, sister of Max. Rosalie, Max, and Joanna were close childhood friends, always spending time together. Rosalie was dating Darren and was a typical popular, bubbly girl at school, with a particular interest in stars.

Everything changed one long night... her whole personality and behavior changed (I’m thinking if I should download the Insane trait just for her). She finally saw how Joanna was looking at her and suddenly felt the same.

Rosalie doesn’t care about school or grades anymore. She is deeply scared of the open night sky and doesn't leave the house then. Now she wants to spend her life with Joanna and tries to build some mechatronics to protect herself from anything that is coming soon.

Henric (sitting readhead) - Son of Aniela and Zachary, half-brother of Helena, husband of Agnes, and father of Max and Rosalie. Thanks to his hard work and expertise he became the head of the hospital. He is a well-known and trusted first contact doctor throughout Ciemnogród, though for some odd reason, he always keeps a very close eye on the hospital’s blood reserves.

Every now and then, his family visits in the middle of the night, saying it’s just “a tradition.” Agnes was his first and only love, and she is still mesmerized by him. He doesn’t know what really happened between his children and thinks he was too soft on Rosalie. He hopes Max can find an intelligent and proper wife.

Agnes (sitting in black dress)– Daughter of former mayors Wlodzimierz and Tatiana Bagguete, sister of nun Aniela and Severin (from family Creamcake) wife of Henric, and mother of Rosalie and Max. She fell in love with Henric at first sight and remains utterly captivated by him, still marveling at his family good genes. A biologist by profession, she loves gardening and training the family’s dogs.

Deeply caring and attentive, she is heartbroken to see her children hating each other after years of being inseparable. Agnes believes Rosalie may need professional help, but she respects her daughter’s silence. She admires Henric’s dedication and calm, almost mysterious nature, and is charmed by his strange little traditions, even when they take place in the middle of the night.

Outside her family, Agnes has a somewhat unusual but longstanding friendship with Claudia (from String Family), who brings a dash of chaos and fun into her otherwise orderly life.

Pets (from the left): Dogs - Plutonowa, Walter, Oficerka, Cat - Ace

(All dogs are ancestors to Sierżant, you can see their tree here. Sorry but the names are in Polish as in English military ranks do not have gendered forms and all dogs are called by them)

Dumpling Family

Ancestors of Sophia, Finn Cheesecake, and Rector Thomas.

From the top left:

Lotte (blue dress) - Daughter of Sophia and Finn Cheesecake, sister of Aart, wife of Jacob, and mother of Dominic and Thomas. Lotte was always the shy and quiet sibling, which Aart often used to his advantage. Lotte dreamed of a knight in shining armor and grew up reading romance novels after seeing her parents’ love. Unfortunately, she fell for Andrew (from Doughnut family), who already had a girlfriend. That didn’t stop him from flirting, but he “ended things” before his first child was born.

Heartbroken, Lotte began writing her own romance novels. After Aart’s death, her relationship with her mother turned bitter, Sophia began calling her a “lonely useless loser.” Lotte found comfort in Jacob, a priest she met during confession. Their friendship blossomed into love, and they met in secret. When Finn passed away and Sophia discovered Lotte pregnant and unmarried, she lost control and threw her out. Jacob, tired of everything, left priesthood for good, promising Lotte she’d be loved and cherished forever. They had another son and got married in their 40s, finally being happy.

Jacob (deepblue shirt) - Adopted son of Rector Thomas and adopted brother of Rector Matthias (Presbytery). Orphan and a former priest. He never knew his biological parents and cannot forgive them for abandoning him. Rector Thomas always wanted Jacob to become a priest and take his place, for his own reasons.

Jacob started rebelling in his teens and met Brigitte (from Doughnut Family) his first love. Their relationship was passionate but full of arguments. Rector Thomas was furious and tried to drive Brigitte away like a fly. During that time, Sister Alina began talking to Jacob and supporting him in arguments, even though she used to avoid him before for some strange reason..

During university, Jacob was ready to give up everything and proposed to Brigitte, but she said no. Heartbroken, he became a priest, and hated it. Everything changed when he met Lotte, and started meeting with her in secret. He was overjoyed when he learned he would be a father.

After Rector Thomas’s death, with Sister Alina’s help and encouragement, he left priesthood for good, and the entire village began to hate him and his newly revealed family. Now a dedicated scientist, Jacob spends much of his time conducting experiments and pursuing research, finding solace and purpose in discovery. He is the best husband and father, turning his past struggles into love and understanding.

He can’t wait for his first grandchild. Sister Alina is now like a real mother to him, but he still wonders who his birth parents were.

Thomas (teen) - Son of Lotte and Jacob, brother of Dominic. Thomas (named after his adoptive grandfather) is a little different. He likes to keep to himself, is not interested romantically in anyone, and prefers digging into cars rather than talking with girls. He admires his priest uncle Matthias and wants to have the same discipline and self-improvement.

He is the only person in the family who is bothered by people judging them, and he believes his parents were immature when making decisions.

Lilian (red dress) - Daughter of Edith and Gregory, sister of Joanna (from the Tune family), girlfriend of Dominic. The second most beautiful Sim in the neighborhood, right after her mother.

Talented drummer, Lilian loves playing music while managing her parents’ café, where she has become the heart and soul of the place. Regulars come not just for the coffee, but for her cheerful presence and great music taste.

She met Dominic in high school and was charmed by how happy and easygoing he is. She recently moved into the Dumpling house, as Dominic’s parents are the nicest people in the world. Lilian regularly encourages Dominic to focus on his game dev career, often offering her help or creative input. Deep down, she hopes Dominic will propose soon and that they can travel somewhere exotic together.

Dominic (grey sweater) - Son of Lotte and Jacob, brother of Thomas, and boyfriend of Lilian. The funny, slightly chubby guy who always cracks jokes. He gathered all his courage to ask out the most beautiful girl in school - Lilian, after Max (from Bagguete family) dared him to. He still can’t believe she said yes, and now she’s even moved in!

Dominic has always loved gaming and now works in the video game career. He dreams of creating his own indie RPG one day. Lilian and his parents are his biggest supporters, and he considers himself extremely lucky. Sometimes he forgets social norms but tries really hard to be a good boyfriend, hoping he won’t miss anything important...

Thank you if you made it that far, hope you guys enjoy the Ciemnogród drama.

Another chapter in the introduction to my Sims world, you can find other parts here:

Part 1 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6 -- Tree of all families --

My game is in Polish, so some names might sound a little funny in English, but I’ll do my best to keep the meaning behind them.

It's time for Presbytery and Sweetbun family. As before, I wrote their connenctions with other families, It will link them together after posting everyone :D

Sweetbun Family

Ancestors of Karen Sweetbun and Raphael Tune.

From the top left not counting Policeman:

Braian (prison outfit) - Son of Karen Sweetbun and Raphael Tune, half-brother of Violetta Cheesecake, father of Emily and Leshek, husband of Margaret. Currently finishing his 10year prison probation for selling illegal goods, kindly released just for the family photos. (I actually like Braian because he’s not just a dumb or evil criminal, he’s always tried to do his best for his kids and still has a great relationship with them). He truly wants to change his life after leaving prison.

Margaret (blond lady with glasses)- Mother of Emily and Leshek, wife of Braian (also known as Lakshmi Byall or Joy Despret). She despises her husband for getting caught and leaving her with all the bills. She’s considering leaving him for a younger man (though I haven’t decided yet if she’ll actually do it). After Braian’s arrest, she turned his shed into an illegal poker room, as she’s great at gambling and finally wants some money for herself.

Roman (kiddo) - Son of Leshek and Madeline, their teenage “accident.” He has a really cute little face. He always talks about how cool and badass his dad is and how strong and sporty his mom is. Deep down, he wishes he could have his own room someday, since Grandma Margaret is often mean to him for no reason.

Leshek (camo trousers) – Son of Margaret and Braian, brother of Emily, husband of Madeline, and father of Roman. Leshek always loved his father and knew he would do anything for him and Emily. He was heartbroken when Braian was sentenced to prison probation. Things only got harder when he and Madeline got pregnant in high school. Madeline’s parents kicked her out, so Leshek stepped up, joined the military, and provided for their new family. Even without higher education, he’s really good at his job, and they finally have a stable income. He loves Madeline and Roman deeply and wouldn’t change his past, even though it was tough.

Madeline (brunette lady)– Daughter of Andrew and Megan, sister of Eric (from the Doughnut family), wife of Leshek, and mother of Roman. The jogging queen, always eating healthy and staying fit. I imagine she’d run marathons just for fun. She still works at Doughnut’s Deli as her aunt Brigitte and her niece Patricia still love her. She wasn’t told about her father’s illness and doesn’t know if she can ever forgive her mother, especially after being kicked out. She feels bad about causing a scene at her brother’s wedding, but she only did it because the whole family was already there...

Pets (from the left):

Lady, Sonia, and Rex

Presbytery

House for the Rector and the neighborhood orphanage. Owners of the Church and the charity kitchen.

From the top left:

Sister Emily (standing nun) – Daughter of Braian and Margaret, sister of Leshek (from the Sweetbun family). A young nun who escaped her family’s shady business. Her family always struggled financially, and her father eventually went to prison. She secretly has a romance with the priest, and little Peter is their son. Only they (and Alina) know the truth about the "orphan". Emily dreams of having more children (though she doesn’t seem to show much interest in Peter 😅) and wants to turn the Church’s charity kitchen into a flower shop. Despite her devotion, her love life has been complicated, Matthias has already cheated on her once, and before him, Eric (from the Doughnut family rejected) her. Leaving home and becoming a nun caused a rift with her mother, who was angry at her choice, and Emily often felt the sting of that rejection. Deep down, she longed for her mother’s forgiveness and approval, wishing that one day they could reconnect.

Rector Matthias (priest outfit) - Grew up as an orphan and was raised by Sister Alina and Rector Thomas, who treated him like a son. Adopted brother of Jacob (from Dumpling Family). Matthias never takes life too seriously and has always wanted to try some “funny business” on the side. He has a child with Emily but never truly committed to her, though he’s an okay dad. He once cheated on Emily, but never treated their relationship as seriously as he perhaps should have. He was severely bullied by Sven ( from Cheesecake family) for being an orphan but became close friends with Eric ( from Doughnut family), who always defended him. He’s unknowingly surrounded by people who share his lineage, though he has no idea about it. Lately, Alina has been getting on his nerves with her controlling nature, after all, HE IS the rector of the neighborhood church, not her.

Sister Alina (sitting nun) – Daughter of Wlodzimierz Baguette and Irena Creamcake, sister of Agnes Baguette and Severin Creamcake. The oldest living Sim in the entire neighborhood and definitely the wittiest one. She’s mastered all skills, collected a bunch of golden badges, and even built a robot. She runs the charity kitchen next to the church. Alina was close with everyone in her family and taught toddlers from the Baguette, Creamcake, and Dumpling families some skills. She despises Emily and feels deeply disappointed in Matthias, as she helped raise him with Rector Thomas. Alina is really happy that Jacob (from the Dumpling family) has chosen his own path in life, he left the priesthood behind and started a family he always wanted. She has a very close bond with him and his kids.

Alina is the only person who knows what happened to Severin's family and is too horrified to tell anyone. And yet, despite knowing so many secrets, she still wonders what happened to Sister Aniela… Throughout her long life, Alina has been hiding many life-changing secrets, some of which she’ll take to her grave...

Peter - The secret son of Emily and Matthias, a little boy who can’t understand why nobody seems to pay attention to him. (And neither do I as I forgot to add his bio, poor baby)
