I've decided instead of doing a full uberhood, I'm gonna focus on the hoods I have more head canons for/fits my gameplay so I am combining Pleaantview, Bluewater Village, Downtown, Belladonna Cove + Arbordale, a hood made up of the uni sims and their families (SSU and LFT sims by @spookierswamp and ALT + the neighbourhood by @spookymuffinsims. Thank you both so much!). I'm starting my rotation (oddly) with the oldest uni sims and speedrunning them to get to where they canonically start so, introducing Jane Stacks and Gunnar Roque!

Does anyone else have a sim or two who is pretty minor to the series, doesn't have a ton of backstory, doesn't appear in any other titles, but you still love them full-heartedly? Because mine is Jane lol. I just think she's absolutely lovely 🥰 (please let me know yours in the notes!)

Neat freak, ghost geek, trinket store connoisseur. Jane’s a physics student with a thing for the paranormal, but don’t bring aliens into it, she’ll roll her eyes mid-seance. Caught somewhere between science and spooky, she’s just trying to keep the archive in order and the spirits in check. 🧤📚👻

Originally from Belladonna Cove where she lives with her mums Matilda and Sylvia-Ruth and her puppo Flapjack, with her love for the paranormal, the environment and weather, my personal goal for her is for her to earn a wishing well 😌

Loud music, louder opinions, suspiciously vintage jacket. Gunnar’s a history major with a soft spot for drama—on stage and off. He’s more eyeliner than essay, but somehow still scrapes a pass. Don’t ask how, he’s not telling. 🎸📜🖤

A 'Downtown Degenerate' as he likes to call himself, he's swapped their mean streets (where he lives with his annoyingly wholesome and supportive dads, Christian and Gosta, 'way to ruin my street cred, dads...') for LFT. My plan for him is to see if living off tips from playing instruments on community lots is sustainable. I veered v far away from the nu-metal vibe of his original outfit but I am v happy with this little lookbook I made him lol

Monica Bratford has perfected her body skill, yet they do little to ease her interactions with the sharp-tongued gym girls. Fortunately, she has loyal companions: her lovely cat, Bonkers, and Erin Beaker, a mystical maiden with the ability to perceive truths through her heart. Watching how much fun Erin is having with her friend in a cafe, Circe feels a little jealous — she wishes she could just as easily and casually ingratiate herself with the sims around!

As night descends, Monica undergoes a remarkable transformation. Casino guests are captivated by the enigmatic allure of a masked lady whose cunning rivals that of the Unsavoury Charlatan! Perhaps Erin's magical advice was not spared here... By morning, Monica returns home and once again becomes a modest girl who adores her cat and has nothing to do with the dangerous world of crime.

The front entrance opened, and a woman walked in.

“Great. Another one,” Annie muttered to herself. The customer walked to one of the last empty tables available and sat herself down. She looked young. Maybe too young. Annie strolled over to the table, sporting her most convincing smile and preparing to memorize yet another order.

“Hi there!” Annie said with a small wave. “Name’s Annie. I’ll be takin’ care of you tonight. What’s your name, darlin’?”

“Ophelia.”
