The Tricou Family and The Gray Woman of SimCity - Sims 2 Glitches, Hidden Sims and Downtown Lore. 

I do realize that this video is from 2 years ago, so you might have already learned what might have been the cause and a probable fix to the eternal illusive kitchen fire, but if not, and for those who might not know: The likely cause: If you have the cheat "moveobjects on" activated when a fire breaks out, that fire will sometimes remain, even after you remove the object that caught fire. It is a neat way to add a harmless eternal fire to your game for storytelling purposes. However, just note that even though it cannot harm any sims, it is still a leftover object, and you might not be able to place objects on those tiles where the fire exists. Probable Fix: "Stuck object remover" mod from Maty (More Awesome Than You). When I experienced this eternal fire glitch twice (the bonfire and a tree), in my game, I thought it was cool, but grew concerned when I could not place items there, thinking my game had been corrupted. Luckily, I searched the Mod the Sims threads, and was able to remove the stuck objects thanks to More Awesome Than You's "stuck object removal." One other aspect that some claim might be the cause is CC objects catching fire. Again, the same fix should do the trick of removing the eternal flames. If you do want to keep the eternal flames, "moveobjects on" might allow you to place items on the tiles where the flames are burning, but since I am unable, at the moment to test this theory, I cannot say whether the objects placed will be accessible. Now, let me finish the video (thus far, I am enjoying it)❣👍

"This caused her house to catch on fire, and tragically... the turkey was burned. Also, the woman died." kek

I’d wager that the name is pronounced “tree-cou” and the “house of fallen trees” is a play on words since they’re all deceased (fallen).

Considering that there's a glitch in the game that sets death type to starvation when a sim's grave is moved it's possible that the Tricou ghosts on Gothier Green Lawns initially had different death types. For example I'm pretty sure Jennicor has a memory of inheriting money from Jon Smith which can only happen when a sim dies of Old Age which would imply that he died of Old Age.

you're telling me the ultrafast body skill leveling after studying physiology is a glitch?? i use that as a gameplay feature lol

I remember never being able to do the 50 dates. It's too boring and too repetitive. I can't imagine doing the 100 one x_x

I did the math. Even if Rebecka ends up having the longest possible elderhood, she would have to go on two dates daily in order to achieve her lifetime wish.

I think the reason why Nyllist and Kieran don’t get the romantic tags is because they are marked as family that same thing happened to me with the Montys

The one thing i always wonder about this family: Where the hell did the devs get their names? They are so unique and fascinating and i can't find them anywhere else.

Speak of the devil, I just added the Tricous to my hood. I find it funny Jon was just fucking through adulthood to the point where he has kids(all of the same age) as old as his grandchildren.

i think they recognize each other as family just so they can all appear in the family tree without it getting cut, because when a sim's spouse dies i think they are "removed" from the family tree unless they have children

1'st dates are actually pretty easy (easier than perfect dates). You can just ask Gypsy match maker for a blind date and just say goodbye immediately as the date starts, repeat 50/100 times. But yeah I think that this lifetime want is realy stupid.

Sims that you think are “invisible” are actually just really high up or far down below in the map, so for a fix, spawn User Control with insimenator and allow the teleport menu to show, and then make the “invisible” sim teleport to the location, and then that’ll be it fixed

For some reason a ton of my Sims just go invisible whenever I just use the Insiminator to put them in the household, or leave the lot when someone's at work. The easiest way to bring them back is just shift clicking the mailbox, and finding the "Teleport me here" option. It just spawns them right next to the mailbox. Literally a life saver lol

I won't lie, I read the title as "The Tricou Family and the Gay Woman of SimCity" and may or may not be the sole reason I clicked this vdeo

I wonder how that Vampiric Eden lot looked when they created it. (I wish they actually included it in the final game!) [Also Liliflower and N3rD Pad too, they sound interesting as well!]

Strange name for a family, Tricou. In my language Tricou means "T-shirt" 😂😂

Jon Smith was getting hella woohoo

I heard that death by starvation appears when you teleport tombstone from place of death into another location (in that case the real reason of death forever disappears) so this could be a reason why ghosts look like passed out because of exactly that type of death. I downloaded a mod to fix this issue but it doesn't work to restore original death reason for earlier teleported graves.

21:00 - if you age gypsy matchmakers down they also will have elder voice when being teenager or adult.

Not only Nylissit has this glitch actually! I made them a playable family in my Veronaville (as well as the teens) and made all of them Vampires. Jennail and her spouse, as well as Jon Smith and his wife, had the same problems. Only way I could fix it was through SimPE. I think the glitch happened because they were technically still married to an extend? It was very odd regardless. This family is thankfully not corrupted but it does need a bit of fiddling around if you want to properly play it.

This is so well made. The fire reminded me of Ruby lol. "I'm an eternal flame, baby!"

Great video! I'm fascinated by the Tricous. They have an interesting story and I like seeing people's theories. Also their house actually being haunted is so creepy. 😨

That last part is like a cartoon scenario lmao

This won’t be the last time you’ll be hearing me, but i LOVE this series❤️

I think Vampiric Eden just ended up being the Crypt-O-Night club but I’m not sure. Also the funniest thing happened, I tried to add someone to my household for a test type thing, and literally every sim that was in my previous game, popped up in my add to household list. (I deleted that previous game and the previous back ups so this is strange), and when I did end up adding a sim from my previous game, the two female sims I added, (one of the strange town sims from the Singles household) and one sim made myself, not only did neither of them have an aspiration, but they didn’t have an inventory either, until I used a cheat to give them an aspiration. They also did not have hair, until I saved and re entered the lot, and they had default male voices. I could use these sims normally, but they could not interact with anyone. Their social would go down, but if I had asked them to join a game with other sims or talk to another, they would stop what they were doing and the task would be removed. They also had no lifetime wants and their aspiration level was always blank. The game gave them the default adult female outfit (a red long sleeved shirt with white Capri pants and red matching shoes.) and I was unable to change it. When I looked at the lot details before I went back into the lot, neither of these sims had faces, so I’m wondering if the game treated them like Secret Household Members.

The creepy monologue in the first few minutes is 😘... R. I. P turkey, you were to beautiful for this world ... 🦃😔

2:16 There's no snow in Ba Sim Se

I’m glad you made a video about this, ive been wondering about this family!! Btw loved the Gandalf (I think??) moment you put in 🤣

I've actually had that fire glitch before. Once lightning struck a tree and set it on fire, but when the rain extinguished it the animation stayed, forever. The only thing that was able to finally extinguish that fire was when the game was ultimately uninstalled because the PC had become too old to handle it.

some bugs fixed with AL patch ended up breaking with M&G again, so if you have ultimate collection it explains why

I think you had to cheat to get them to have crush/love status because they were marked as family members, even though they weren't married. But it doesn't make sense why they were even able to do romantic interactions..... This IS really weird lmao

just delete the roof and the fire will go out when it rains. i had the same l bug and this helped

Thanx 4 this video 💖 the Tricou family is one of the most puzzling ever and it's a pity that there were no references to them in TS4 (at least references ... 😔)

Love the noclipping at the end

Maybe the girl with the 100 first dates aspiration was meant to be played as a vampire who cant commit lol

one thing i’ve always wanted to do on the sims 2 is ressurect all the dead sims from pleasant view but i can’t cos i don’t wanna mess up my version of it 😭

I once aged down a random university townie I had moved in my family and had become an elder, and she also kept her grey hair and elder voice. Don't know if that's a global glitch when you age down elders?

The aging down always results in that hat for ladies, I don't recall what the men get.

I had the same thing with the infinite fire, during a storm lightning lit up a tree and then it was taken out by the rain, but the fire visual effect remained. So now my Sims have a never ending fire rave entry to their house Also, I was wondering if Kiernan could normally form romantic relationships or get married without any problem, maybe someone tried this I'm so curious lol And I loved the entire outro hahaa

The money sound was her getting inheritance from Jon Smiths death!

i didnt realise the cheating symbol came in 2 varients, thought it only had the knife inside the rings not knife snapped in 2

I believe the Bendett name might be there because the default townie household is named Bendett. And Maxis usually didn’t clean up after themselves so that might be an explanation. As for the voices, it is possible to change them in Sim Description. Maybe it just doesn’t update when Sims age down?

I wonder if rebecka has 100 dates as a wish because it was the original version and then they lowered it to 50 and never updated rebecka? it definitely wouldn't be the first time a sim has outdated information, but also I know hardly anything about the game and started learning about this stuff literally yesterday so XD

Fun fact: I'm not sure if it is toddler or baby, I think toddler, but I *think* they DO die in fire. They do not react to the fire, but if left long enough can disappear in the game. (I heard this from Cyjon if my memories serve me right).

2:24 “and tragically. The turkey was burnt” XD

I think fricorith dying by fire in the sims 3 is simply because the sims 3 is missing the death by satellite. The closest would be by asteroid, but that is not base game so they could not have included in supernatural

Probably unrelated because I just checked the dates but there was a game in 2004 called Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines and one of the levels happens in "Downtown".

Me: *hears the background music* Me: THE ARCANA!!!!!

I just watched it again after almost half a year and now I wonder - maybe the coffins in the basement weren't actually to be interpreted literally as vampire coffins, but just as coffins? Like, just coffins buried underground? And there's two of them - maybe they're the cousins'? And what I thought of before I noticed Kiernan and Nyllisit being considered family - was that they're considered family, and although they can interact romantically, they can't develop the relationship. And they can get engaged, because it's just an interaction, like other romantic ones and it isn't like a relationship flag, like crush love or anything; and they can't get married because that would link them in the family tree? And maybe Nyllisit can't marry anyone because she's just glitched somehow and is considered family to every sim Also where did Bianca Monty come from? Lol And I appreciate you not killing off the Gray Woman, everyone just kills sims for fun and you were like it wasn't necessary. I don't know, it's such a small thing but it was a relief and something else than other vids, so thanks❤️

Also if the game is corrupted every sim on the lot you’re playing on will run but the stair cheat will fix it just fine. (Find a set of stairs, not deck stairs, and shift click and there should be an option to change how they walk, if you don’t know how to change the walking.) Actually, I think at one point all of my sims in any lot or town ran, I had to individually change it but gave up. Lmao.

Do you know the name of the song at 4:00. I like that song, but I don't know the title. Also a good video. In Sims 2 if a tombstone is moved to a community lot the death is changed to Starvation. I always wondered what the true causes of death of the Tricou Family were. Seeing as Jennicor, Jennail, Fricorith and Gvaudoin all inherited money from Jon Smith, I think it is safe to assume that Jon Smith died of Old Age.

hey bestie!

Deceased, playable sims..... Sounds like drama is about to unfold 😆👍👌

The Tricou family are without a doubt the most enigmatic family in the Sims franchise... Sims 4 COULD NEVER.

Damn Rebecka and Grayson are two simses that could know much more about other simses mostly because they are like you know...homeless knowleges that are anywhere at anytime

i tried changing a sim's voice in simPE once, but it didn't work. wonder if anyone knows how to do it. it would be cool if adults could have different voices, even if they're borrowed from young adults/elders lol

I miss the sims 2

my sim married a townie and the townie was related to these guys :p

What was that blue thing on the woman's icon after she revived her husband? Never saw that before.

How do you get them to have relationship status? Mine can’t have crushes or love status on either of them.. 😢

in my game i had justin kim get married to douglas leive, who when i click on his family tree, says he’s jon smith tricou’s son (when i click on jon it says nothing)

21:29 Maybe that’s why they hid them lol

The Tricou family show up as getting an inheritance on Sim Pe and it can't remove these memories. No idea why they came up. I only play Strangetown.

both the voice glitch and the hair color glitch is weird

can you PLEASE tell me what's the name of the mod you used thats the heart

it looks like nylissit’s husband has missing face data. he will be invisible because of a loss of data.

I remember waiting for this game after being a long time sim city 2000 and the sims fan. It was a huge leap from the sims to the sims 2. I even bought sim city to decorate and create my own custom neighborhood while waiting for the sims 2 to drop! Great memories! ✨🫶🏻

Physiology glitch broke again in mansion garden and never got fixed

Well, in my game one toddler actually has died by fire. What has he done wrong, Grey Woman?(

I think Tricou is pronounced like a french name

Your Voice sound like a Deligracy Greetings video is cool :-)

I wonder what the name of Simcity's grey lady might have been. And is her nickname a reference to The Harry Potter franchise
