I love that the sims in earlier games would autonomously do things associated with their interests and personalities. I also love the level of detail that used to be put into the lore and world. It is a painful reminder of what we've lost in Sims 4.

I’ve always thought the emphasis on inbreeding and inherent stupidity in pop culture is a way of avoiding more uncomfortable realities of poverty in the south.

I wonder if them repeating the phrase “River lands” to refer to that area was an attempt at giving it a regional name? I’m a city kid, I grew up and was raised in the city right next to the rural areas some of my family lives in, but I know my family that lives out in “no man’s land”, as my moms always called it because they’re home is literally miles from everything and so is almost everyone else’s, call their area the glades or the pinelands (although now my cousins who grew up there call it ‘pine coast’).

So far its going smoothly and due to Skeets surrounded by family LTW he wanted another baby (I'm honing in on wants based gameplay) and he got the little boy he wanted, named Davie. Still got two more to go and I'm thinking about naming them Griffin and Reid. Chase wants to get on the honour role and she has a part time job and works on fixing up the car that comes with Roaring Heights. Also her romantic interest (omg I forgot his name) is dating someone else I believe so I need to sort that out. Tay is living his best life baking and doing his homework like a good kid, and they're all doing good with their fishing :)

Oh I too love this family! I dunno, something about a sims family with stereotypical or super common features works with me. I guess it's because if it's a sims family it makes it more than just a stereotype. In the older sims games you could make very good and fun to play sims whose personalities would show really well in the gameplay (*would show more than as just a pic with a text if you know what I mean👀), so the sims you're playing would feel like true individuals. It's fun and has its charms

People trying to apply English spelling to an Italian or Polish pronunciation can come up with some WILD stuff.

There was one time that she found I think it was records of a woman's cousin and husband with the same name and thought it was the same guy, but all the records contradicted each other (and I think their dads had the same name too??) until she finally found a second burial site and death certificate that confirmed that it was two separate men.

I really liked this video, I love Twinbrook with all its swampy charm and its lovely unique families, so it was nice to have a look at one of them. I also appreciated the Southern history bit, it was really interesting. But calling Chase unfortunate looking is pretty harsh imo, she's charming in her own way (or maybe I'm biased because I look a little bit like her but way less pretty). That's what I actually like in a lot of Twinbrook's families, a lot of them have pretty unique features and even after few generations you can still look at sims and just see who they descend from based on their features. But anyway, I would love to hear more about other families of Twinbrook

You are spot on about sloppy record keeping. When I looked into my mom's family, her grandfather - who came from Denmark - had 8 different spellings of his last name for him and his 10 siblings. And these were church records, done by the local village priest. Then he came over here, and changed his name completely. And of course, he spelled it differently every time he wrote it. As for inbreeding, one county here in Missouri consisted of prime farmland owned by a handful of families. Since they wanted to keep the farms in the same families, and not let "outsiders" horn in on their properties, they pretty much married each other - generation after generation. My one uncle came from one of the families, and you could definitely see the adverse affects - he was batcrap crazy. As for that "river land" stuff, we always called the area along I-40/64 the Gumbo Flats - because of the quicksand-like mud. (It's been renamed Chesterfield Valley by the Yuppies who live there now). And the bottoms along Hwy 70 in St. Louis County were always known as the Missouri Bottoms. Both areas border the Missouri River, and used to be prime farmland, but are now mostly covered in concrete and outlet malls. Great for when the levies break and the river floods. Like almost every Spring.

I’m loving this new series Cindy! I hope you’re having as much fun teaching us about it as we are learning about it! You should do an in depth story on Bella. I’d love to hear your thoughts!

So nice to see these videos. Especially about Twinbrook. I feel like this neighborhood always gets pushed aside and dismissed but it's easily my favourite. The spot on commentary about southern families is an extra added bonus.

I love these Cindy! I can’t wait to see all the Lore from all the different worlds!

Thank you so much for educating people on our Southern culture. ❤️ Oh you're the best for this! And what's funny is that we can take jokes 😏

omg i had no idea about the inbred theory, i agree i think they were just bad at documenting!

loved the video! I've never actually played ts3 but this videos make me want to play it!!

This comment might be out of context but i just wanted to tell you that i really like your decision about sharing your story about your hair problem and i think that’s really cool that you feel comfortable with new hairstyle :) sorry if I sounded weird or something i just think you’re brave :)

I loved the inclusion of southern history. I'm the 1st generation born out of the South and I do make jokes about my family. I can, you can't kind of a thing! Even though I didn't grow up in the South we were always there & I was surrounded by people from there so I get a lot of questions about what my accent is lol.

Was falling asleep when my subscriptions updated and I saw a new video by Cindy I was like yeeeeeah 😂😍!! Loving the lore and that it's being explained in lots of depth. ☺ Love ❤

Thanks so much! So happy you like it!

I’m loving these lore videos ! I never paid much attention to the sims in sims 3 and I’ve really enjoyed learning about them

I really adore your videos, they are just so unique. I think these types of videos are def my favorite. I love when you go into the backgrounds of all the townies.Also, you are glowing!! I don't know what it is, but you look so happy and it shows. Your videos have been helping me so much lately with stress. I have severe Endometriosis and when Im having a flare I usually come to your videos and escape for a bit, your voice is super soothing lol. Anyway, please do more of these (if you enjoy doing them of course) as these really are interesting and fun to watch.

i live in oklahoma and i know many families that grow something other than vegetables hehe

Best way to end my night here in the Netherlands! Really love the videos you make lately! Hope you're doing well! ❤

I love playing in Twinbrook too! Great video as always and you are soooo pretty Cindy ❤ watching your videos after work always makes me happier

Obsessed with this new series! I am currently making my own sims 4 save file and I have been populating the world with my own sims as well as my favorite pre-made sims across all sims games and I am absolutely adding this family to my save file! ❤

Love this series you’re doing!! Please keep the Sims lore coming!

Am I the only one that feels like the Castor household is a reference to the Young family from Desperate Housewives? There's nothing hinting at it in the Sims Wiki, but like, their house his almost identical, Robert and Beverly are very similar to Paul and Mary Alice in appearance, and I feel like the "secret" mentioned in their household bio hints at the fact the Young family had a secret of their own (although I don't think it's supposed to say that the Castor's secret is the same one). Jeffrey hating his parents may also hint at the fact that Zach Young (the son of Mary Alice and Paul) grew up into hating his father because of that same secret. 🤔

I just found your channel and I'm so glad I did. I'm also from the south and to hear someone publically say that southern stereotypes are greatly exaggerated and misleading, really caught my attention. I felt like I connected to you and shared some of the same thoughts. You just got yourself a new subscriber!
