Tricou family

[maksplaygroundsims2]

Just a tiny preview of something I’ve been waiting to post. I’ve had this house renovated in my hood for ages but, I wanted to wait for closer to Halloween for a speed build video on my Youtube channel for a “special” because I’ve recently hit 3k subscribers so I’m finally working on the video and getting pictures edited.  I furnished this house without much CC at all (a few items for magic stuff) and I’m super proud of it.  Can’t wait to show you guys!  It’s the House of Fallen Trees if you didn’t already recognize it lol.

can we talk about the tricou family? i have a theory that actually sort of matches what i found on MTS O:

Except mine is a tad different: link on MTS

Now if you see there, the death types and the timeline of the sims games and what era -

I'm a massive fan of interview with the vampire, and vampires in general. I've always assumed the Tricou family to be vampires despite them not being as such when resurrected [wth?]

I've always thought the Tricou to live in LA like Louis, Lestat + Claudia did, in The House of Fallen trees around the same time vampires "existed", for me it's 1792. So uh, Yea they've been dead for quite sometime. Agreeing with that first post there were no satellites [again, wth???] So like the OP I also set the death to fire since that was very much so a thing that also occurred in my book. (Forewarning, I must have read Anne Rice's books a billion times. My mom even took me to get them signed by her! So mostly everything I've got about the Tricou family despite their last name being Romanian in origin but is easily confused and considered to be French...which is most of LA; a lot of my theory is going to match that of Interview a bit.)

Like Louis + Lestat they had money, Jennicor and Jon. Jennicor obtained it about the same too. As for their offspring who were born (and turned their spouses) took on Jennicor's vampirism as opposed to being turned like Claudia was (and therefore bringing Armand and his "buddies" to attention...) applies to the 3rd generation, Fricorith + Gvaudoin.

Note: Jon's other children are not mentioned because the timeline to me doesn't add up from 1792 Louisianna to have children in modern day downtown in which they are roaming around somewhere with game generated names. They are basically irrelevant in my game.

Death: Now, Jennicor, Jon,  Gvaudoin, Fricorith, Jennail + Kvornan are away from the home leaving Nylissit + Kiernan there. My theory is they were found out about being vampires killing people off for feeding and the like, were burned.

Upon returning to the home they've perished entirely. What was left was brought to the cemetery near the house. As it stands:

Jennicor

Jon

Jennail

Kvornan

Gvaudoin

Fricorith

Nylissit - R.I.P/Fire

Kiernan - R.I.P/Fire

Over the years they became more careful, assuring the people they're not vampires and it was a freak accident, no one will hear from them anymore.

In effort to be more careful they had to share while the blood was still warm as cold can kill a vampire. This...caused some issues between Jennicor, Kvornan, Jennail and the kids naturally. Jennicor in all her efforts and love for her family (Jon was able to continue eating normally as he's mortal, he turned down the opportunity like Louis should have basically.)

Jennicor...eventually starved herself to death by giving her share of the blood to her Jennail, Kvornan + grandkids instead. She was moved to the same cemetery as Nylissit + Kiernan. The kids had decided it'd be easier to leave entirely instead of risking getting caught again since they were bound to be found out picking people off in effort to not be caught. They left in the middle of the night unnoticed and went their separate ways to avoid being traced back.

Distraught about losing their niece and son, Kvornan + Jennail efforts strong still were careful about picking off...until it was too difficult and tried to make for a new town but ended up starving on the way. They were found later by Jon who was out gathering supplies...they were transported to be with the rest of the family.

Score card:

Jennicor - RIP/Starvation

Jon

Jennail - RIP/Starvation

Kvornan - RIP/Starvation

Nylissit - RIP/Fire

Kiernan - RIP/Fire

Gvaudoin - MIA

Fricorith - MIA

About a decade goes by, Gvaudoin returns to check in on things as they left w/o warning. She discovers Jon, her grandfather, has passed away of old age in the time she and Fricorith had run away. But she didn't find him at the house, she only found out by asking everyone in town that could even recall his name. At least he was buried by Jennicor. Gvaudoin wrote a letter to Fricorith knowing he'd show up sooner or later, stating what had happened and hoping to hear back next time she's in town.

As suspected Fricorith does come back...and he stays...Gvaudoin..however did not make it out of town that night. She wasn't up to times on what had happened since she'd originally left. People were more paranoid and quick to kill on site...She got hungry...had to eat and tried to pick off royalty so she could travel farther...ended up burned to death and buried in the backyard at The House of Fallen Trees.

Jennicor - RIP/Starvation, Gothier Greens

Jon - RIP/Old age, Gothier Greens

Jennail - RIP/Starvation, Gothier Greens

Kvornan - RIP/Starvation, Gothier Greens

Nylissit - RIP/Fire, Gothier Greens

Kiernan - RIP/Fire, Gothier Greens

Gvaudoin - RIP/Fire, House of Fallen Trees

Fricorith - MIA

He sold all the furniture he could to get whatever money under a different name so no one would suspect him as the vampire he is...sharing the Tricou name. He had to get out alive and get far far far away. 

Decades and decades pass..., its 2005 and young (technically old as fuck) Fricorith had made peace for himself after fighting the possibility of being caught and burned. He now resides in the busy suburb of Moonlight Falls. Where he lived with a pretty young girl and a dog. No kids and plenty of food...He mostly took the elderly and terminally ill. His partner worked in a hospital and would scout for him and let him in after hours to feed. She didn't really know much of him, he changed his last name to Smith...forgetting the Tricou bit entirely.

She got curious...a bit too curious and did some research while he was away from home. Thinking to herself, "Fricorith is quite a strange name." Asked around, spent hours at the libraries and researching names, origins...even towns...

Fricorith returned to his home to spend time with her...to find she'd gone...packed all her things and took the dog. There was a note, "I know what you are monster. Don't come looking." And with that, the house went ablaze with him inside! He went peacefully...thinking to himself and being thankful to have gotten this far, met her and not angrily or bitterly...missed his family but they'd be reunited soon.

She found everything. "Tricou family are MONSTERS!" "Tricou in for the kill, watch your chickens!" "Tricou children are suspicious" "Tricou family burned and buried!" She was mortified...she KNEW what he was but was told the tales of his family as scare stories around Halloween! The trust was gone...his name wasn't Fricorith Smith...for in fact it is Fricorith Tricou!

Jennicor - RIP/Starvation, Gothier Greens

Jon - RIP/Old age, Gothier Greens

Jennail - RIP/Starvation, Gothier Greens

Kvornan - RIP/Starvation, Gothier Greens

Nylissit - RIP/Fire, Gothier Greens

Kiernan - RIP/Fire, Gothier Greens

Gvaudoin - RIP/Fire, House of Fallen Trees

Fricorith - RIP/Fire, Moonlight Falls

He said his last goodbyes whether or not the townsfolk could hear him over the flames. It was over...

After he'd passed and the blaze faded...there was a historical fan in the crowd that night...he'd plead his case to the coroner demanding "This Tricou child must be reunited with his family in Louisiana at once! He must not be buried in Moonlight Falls at all costs!" Plead and plead and plead til the coroner and had enough he angrily made arrangements because transportation of this sort was expensive and time consuming but he wanted this obsessed historian to quit pestering him.

Fricorith Tricou was further buried next to his cousin at The House of Fallen Trees (because I'm a TS2 player and that is where I resurrected him from).

Jennicor - RIP/Starvation, Gothier Greens

Jon - RIP/Old age, Gothier Greens

Jennail - RIP/Starvation, Gothier Greens

Kvornan - RIP/Starvation, Gothier Greens

Nylissit - RIP/Fire, Gothier Greens

Kiernan - RIP/Fire, Gothier Greens

Gvaudoin - RIP/Fire, House of Fallen Trees

Fricorith - RIP/Fire, House of Fallen Trees

That's my stupid theory because I look a good backstory and vampires. The Tricou family as soon as I resurrected them turned them in to vampires as they should have already been.

I'd love to hear thoughts and ideas on what you guys think happened! They're a mystery that's for sure but I love'em.

Rainelle-ification continues at my livejournal.

It will now continue successfully because I took it off private. Sorry.

Hi :) Do you have any thoughts on Gvaudoin Tricou? You thoughts on the premades seem so interesting!

Hi Anon. :3 Yup, I definitely have some thoughts on Gvaudoin! Her family has always intrigued me, especially because she (along with her cousin) isn’t buried with the rest of the Tricous. I’ve always believed that the rest of the family died first, which left Gvaudoin and Fricorith on their own. The two probably tried to raise themselves for as long as possible but unfortunately died in the house fire. :( Although that idea might not make sense based on the memories of the Tricou family (which would indicate the order they died), that’s my personal headcanon as to why the cousins are buried at the house while their family is buried somewhere else.

Also, because Fricorith shows up in Moonlight Falls, a town known for it’s magical, supernatural citizens, I don’t believe that Gvaudoin or the rest of the Tricous were plain humans. ;) Plus the fact that there are coffins in the basement of the house make me believe they may even be vampires. How any of them died is still a mystery, but I believe Gvaudoin and Fricorith’s death with the house fire had something to do with that Gray Lady of SimCity statue in the backyard. That statue always creeped me out. xD

Also, from reading whattheskell’s Fortune and Romance, I’ve become a fan of the idea that Gvaudoin knew and had a close relationship with Mary-Sue Pleasant. :)

So, those are my thoughts on Gvaudoin! I really wish there would have been more of a backstory or some information about her and her family because I find them to be really interesting! Anyway, thanks for the question. ^-^

All the Tricous together.

Resurrecting the Tricous

It’s now time to resurrect the only premade dead sim family that comes with the Sims 2 Nightlife! Of course I’m talking about the Tricou family. Today we’ll be taking a step-by-step look at how you can resurrect Jon Smith Tricou and the rest of his crazy family using his six descendants.

1) First, in order for the descendants to be made in the first place, you must add a Downtown Lot to the neighborhood. To do this, click the “add downtown” button located on the top of your screen. (If you already have a downtown lot, it should say “Downtown Chooser”).

2) Next, you need to find one of Jon Smith Tricous six descendants. (Or at least get the name of one of them so you can make them selectable using the Tombstone of L & D cheat). If you have University, the easiest way to find one of them is to scroll through their pictures under the cap button. If you don’t have University, then you’re just going to have to wait until you run into one of them on a community lot or one of your teenagers brings one of them home from school. Here is what the descendants look like:

Since I have University, it’s pretty easy to get the name of one of the descendants. Here’s one now:

3) Now that we have a name for one of Jon’s descendants, we can use the Tombstone of L & D to make her controllable. To do this, press CTRL + SHIFT + C and type “boolprop testingcheatsenabled true” into the cheat box. Next enter some random lot (I’ll use the Beaker lot in this case) shift + click on one of the Beakers and select Spawn …Tombstone of L & D.

4) A tombstone should appear next to the selected sim. Now, click on the tombstone and select “Add Neighbor to Family.”

5) Keep scrolling through the names until you find the name of the descendant, (which in this case is Cadence). Click their name, they should now appear fully controllable on the lot.

6) Next obtain a Grim Reaper phone by using the “unlockCareerRewards” cheat that is described in Resurrecting Random Premades Parts 1 & 2. Have the descendant call the Grim Reaper and resurrect Jon Smith. After Jon Smith is resurrected have him call Grim Reaper to resurrect the rest of his family members. Since only eight sims can live on a lot at a time you may have to more some of his family members off of the lot to successfully resurrect all the Tricous.

And there you have it, another collection of premade sims resurrected. Isn’t this fun?

Next time we’ll be heading to Bluewater Village to resurrect pre-deceased sims that come with the third Sims 2 expansion pack, Open For Business. Don’t miss it!
