ToEA: Meet the Characters

Pevensie

In the interest of making my Sim-world as Tales of Ever After-like as possible, I've turned TS4's Willow Creek neighborhood into my A/U Narnia. At least, Narnia's the only country currently represented there. And of course, any savvy Simmer can't just have empty neighborhoods! That's no fun. =( We need Simmies to fill them! Enter my A/U Tales of Ever After cast, beginning where it should, where it all did, in fact - with the Pevensies. Most of these faces have been modeled (well or poorly, depending upon your interpretation) upon real celebrity faces, because these are the actors we've chosen to represent our characters within our writing group. As such, they double not only as the particular characters they're intended to be, but as Sim-versions of particular actors, too. 

Peter Pevensie

Meet Peter. He likes long walks on the beach outside Cair Paravel, red velvet cake, and sharing a pint with friends. His Aspiration is Soulmate, which means that he "wants to find and live a rewarding life with 'the One.'" Other traits include: 

Alluring: Alluring Sims are more successful at romance than others.

Active: These Sims tend to be Energized, can Pump Up other Sims, and may become upset if they don't exercise for a period of time. 

Ambitious: These Sims gain powerful Moodlets from career success, gain negative Moodlets from career failure, and may become upset if not promoted. 

Bro: These Sims can Bro Hug other Bros, gain confidence around other Bros, and become Energized from Watching Sports.

Meet Susan. She likes archery, fashion, and curling up with a good book on a rainy day. Her Aspiration is also Soulmate, which gives her the booster trait of also being Alluring. As C.S. Lewis took care to note that Susan Pevensie was considered especially beautiful not only by all Narnians but abroad, this trait seems fitting. Other traits include:

Outgoing: These Sims gain powerful Moodlets from Friendly socialization, have their Social Need decay quickly, and gain more negative Moodlets when their Social Need is low.

Romantic: These Sims tend to be Flirty and may become Sad if they don't have any Romantic social interactions for a period of time.

Cheerful: These Sims tend to be Happier than other Sims.

Meet Edmund. He likes playing chess, going sailing, and eating - just about any food except Turkish Delight. His Aspiration is Renaissance Sim, which means that he "wants to be good at many things at once!" The booster trait for Renaissance Sim is Quick Learner, which means that Edmund builds skills just a little bit faster than other Sims. Other traits include:

Romantic.

Music Lover: These Sims gain powerful Moodlets and boost their Fun Need when Listening to Music and become Happy when playing instruments.

Glutton: These Sims have a greater negative reaction to Hunger, always enjoy eating (no matter the food's quality), can eat Spoiled Food, and can Rummage for Food in garbage. (Not that a King would need to do that...but hey, it would still be grossly hilarious to watch.)

Meet Lucy. She likes painting, knife-throwing, and baking when life stresses her out. Her Aspiration is Successful Lineage, which means that Lucy "wants to have a family that succeeds in life!" The booster trait for Successful Lineage is Domestic, which means that she will see her familial relationships grow stronger, faster than most other Sims. Other traits include:

Cheerful.

Good: These Sims become Happy around Sims with positive Moodlets, can Donate to Charity, become Sad when interacting with Evil Sims, and can Discuss World Peace.

Creative: These Sims tend to be Inspired, can Share Creative Ideas with other Sims, and may become upset if they're not creative for a period of time.

My bonus "family" (even though it consists right now of a singular Sim) is another Pevensie, simply because she wouldn't have a surname if not for becoming Edmund's wife - which has happened within the writing group, but not the PC game! 

So, meet Seraia. She's an OC, a slave from Calormen who was freed from the entourage of Prince Rabadash by a plot she cooked up with Edmund that saved her life. She was a dancer within the Calormene court, hence her style of dress. Seraia likes dragons, mediums of art such as painting and sketching, and of course, dancing. Her Aspiration is Big Happy Family which, suffice it to say, means that she wants to "build a large, loving household!" The booster trait for Big Happy Family, just as with Successful Lineage, is also Domestic - probably because both of these Aspirations have to do with family. Other traits include:

Creative.

Art Lover: These Sims gain powerful Moodlets from Viewing works of art and can Admire Art and discuss art in unique ways.

Dance Machine: These Sims can't wait to get down, boogie, and party all night! When at venues like Bars, Nightclubs, and Lounges, these Sims can get a burst of energy with the Party Time interaction. Dance Machines also receive a happy Moodlet when arriving at social venues.
