Well then it might be a mistake. But I dont know how someone could make this up. ��

I checked the edit history of the person who wrote that Sara was abducted by aliens and it was... an experience.

Their edits to Cassandra Goth

Cornelia Goth

Sunset Valley

Darren Dreamer

Jocasta Bachelor

GOOPY GILSCARBO

Luckily this was back in 2009, so their edits have been removed since then. But it looks like the Sara Roth edit stayed, lol.

Well I'm not able to track it down now, but I know for example that Victor Aspir has a memory of Hannah Bell's parents being aducted by aliens. So maybe someone kinda unrelated to them has a memory about it...

I considered that possibility, but I’ve looked through the Riverblossom Hills sims’ memories and I can’t find anything about it. :( I don’t know if I missed something or if the wiki made things up again.

ive never heard this before??

It’s really strange. They claim it in her article, but I can’t recall ever seeing something in Riverblossom Hills that indicates it. No clue if they are just making shit up again or if I’ve missed something. :/

I clicked undo on his edit and it apparently made The Sims 3 not appear in italics. “Would you at least not remove the italics?” strikes me as an interesting statement.

Yes, she can be. But her page does not say so, so why should Jessica’s?

If Jessica can be called “mean-spirited” because of 3 nice points, do you know who else needs to be called mean-spirited in their articles?

Chloe Singles

Vidcund Curious

Mary-Sue Pleasant

etc.

I can’t comment that due to the limit though so  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I’ll just post it here so you can understand my motivation for wanting that part removed.

There is not a lot to say about Tiffany’s article. It’s a bunch of fanon, but it’s positive fanon in this case. Still fanon though, so it needs to be deleted.

Something I did find interesting though is that the article claims she is nicer than her roommates. This is false. While she has 5 more nice points than Brittany, Tiffany and Heather’s nice points are the same.

Poor Brittany Upsnott has to not only deal with insecurity issues, but also with wiki articles writing fan fiction about her as if it was canon.

It’s actually... It’s actually kind of funny. Just take a look at this.

“Brittany is described as being snobbish, arrogant and bossy”, Described by who? Where? Because all I’m seeing right now is this wiki article writer describing her as such.

“She is insecure” correct, but it was already stated earlier in the text, so it’s redundant. “Affect-lacking” What? Here is a wordreference page on the word “affect”.

“She shows this by ordering her roommates around”, nothing in her biography or household description says this. “Brittany likes the fact that she can be queen of the sorority” uh? “Though she’s seen as selfish and pompous” by who? And pompous of all terms?

pomp•ous (pom′pəs)

adj. 

characterized by an ostentatious display of dignity or importance: a pompous minor official.

ostentatiously lofty or high-flown: a pompous speech.

characterized by pomp, stately splendor, or magnificence.

“She is heartily disliked by Allegra Gorey”. It’s amazing how whoever wrote this loves to include Allegra in places where she is barely relevant. In fact, if you check her relationships page, it seems like she has a better relationship with Allegra than with her sorority sisters.

“She likes to party whilst being so bossy”. The word bossy has already been mentioned in the text, so even if it was true, it’s excessive.

Here are the cold hard facts: Brittany is not a nice girl in the sense that she only has 1 nice point. But being grouchy is not the same thing as being snobbish, arrogant, bossy, affect-lacking, commanding, selfish, and pompous. And yes, all of these adjectives were used to describe her.

Now let’s compare, canon Brittany

Is the queen bee of sorority

May not be particularly well-liked (her biography says no one wants to hang out with her)

Is insecure

Wants to be liked

Simswiki Brittany

Is described as being snobbish, arrogant and bossy

Is affect-lacking

Orders her roommates around

Is spoiled

Likes the fact that she can be the queen of the sorority

Is seen as selfish and pompous

Is heartily disliked by Allegra Gorey (because that is relevant apparently)

Likes to party whilst being so bossy

Lord give me strength to deal with these...
