The Inbred Family of Twinbrook (Sims 3 Lore & Stories)

In this episode of The Sims 3 Lore & Stories, we're exploring the backwater bayou of Twinbrook (Ambitions) to meet the rumored "inbred" Bayless Family. But is this rumor true or is there another explanation for the linear family circle?

I'll explore those theories, comment on southern stereotypes, and we'll get to know the family on their own terms - camouflage and all. What do you do with the Bayless Family of Twinbrook and what do you believe is the truth about their history?

The Sims team is so shady for giving them all the family-oriented trait 💀

Man I was not expecting a philosophical look at the harmful effects of the media's perception of the southern states and culture on its residents in a sims lore video, but here we fucking are. Good work Cindy!

Alternate title: “Southern History with Cindy!”

Honestly I can forgive the Sims for having stereotypical families and Sims because thats basically the whole game lol. It’s supposed to reflect the curent pop culture and trends and many of their Sims follow other stereotypes. That being said, I’m glad you cleared things up about the south in the US. Unfortunately, to many countries the only impression they get about other places is through the media, which exaggerates everything. I mean, the whole Alabama joke still exists, even though I doubt inbreeding is that common in Alabama lol.

Fly could also be an "uncle." It is not uncommon for a ranchhand, Ne'er-do-well, or a close friend to become part of the family, especially before the 90's.

This made me realize how little I know about the Sims 3 families. I'm familiar with the names, but I always preferred to play with my own sims and completely ignored the world around.

[Life_Universe_Everything]

I think inbreeding is actually more common in the 1% then southerners, like rich people married cousins and even half siblings at points.

[dundee]

Twinbrook is a wild town. It's full of little intricate details like that poor lady's remains in the Racket's mansion hinting to a homicide, or Juan Darer's burnt house remains and dead wife meaning he accidentally killed her with his inventions gone wrong.

These lore videos go interestingly deep with each video. I first thought this would just be a small history of this family but nope I got a whole idea on families in the US South and their stereotypes. As a European you'll get little to nothing of the info in school that was provided in this video.

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.

[cierpie]

I really enjoyed hearing you talk about living in the south ☺️
As a european person, most of the things I know about these regions are just stereotypes - so it's nice to learn about what life actually is like out there

[iamsocoolz]

As a southerner, Fly could've been a dog they particularly liked

[jenniferhaar]

I will say, something we are sorely missing in sims 4 is more unique worlds or "ugly" or "poverty"...ugh, however you want to say it. Im just sick of blah blah modern house's and mansions.

[putts]

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.

As someone who was born and raised in the Appalachian mountains, I really appreciate your words on southern history and culture! I've been really lucky to move away from home and see the world, but I'm always having to deal with the usual stereotypes from people who have never even been to the south. It's really nice to see someone else talking about the actual rich culture and not just what's portrayed on tv and movies. Thank you for being so well spoken!

[chihuahuazero]

There's a charm to the kitsch of the early TS3 houses, especially those pastel-colored bathroom fixtures.

[skyla]

So I’m obsessed with this new series! Maybe an episode about the mysterious Tricou family next?

[jessy]

Loving your take on this family and southern families as a whole. Every word is on point.

[localgiant]

As a city-raised Pennsylvanian, I definitely just got an education lol. Also wasn't there more inbreeding in aristocratic and royal families? Cuz I feel like there was. At any rate, I love the lore videos! It's like a little weekly short story 😃

[ashleysteele]

The background music for this is just *chefs kiss* 👌😂
