The True Story of the Villareal Family [1.4]
prev // home // next
Tumblr media
Night had fallen on the Von Haunt Estate, and Lord Bernard had just come upon an extremely unsettling scene.
Tumblr media
“You!” gasped the ghost of Bernard. “What are you— Unhand my portrait, you rampallian! Get down from there this instant!”
Tumblr media
Max hastily let go of Bernard’s portrait and climbed down.
“Shut up, old man!” he yelled, but it was too late. Bernard knew exactly what Max was trying to do.
Tumblr media
“You were going to burn my portrait, weren’t you?” He blew up at the child. “That’s it! I’m calling your father! And yes—I know who you are! I checked the museum registration!”
Tumblr media
“You wouldn’t. You’re bluffing.” Max scrunched up his face with as much animosity as a child could muster.
Tumblr media
But Bernard wasn’t bluffing.
Jacques Villareal was contacted and immediately summoned. Bernard explained that he had caught Max trying to burn his portrait, and Jacques shook his head in disappointment.
Tumblr media
“I can’t believe you’ve done this,” said his father in a low, disgusted voice. “You’ve ruined everything.”
It was true. Jacques had to abandon his own plans of setting fire to this cherished tourist destination. He would now look suspicious if the Von Haunt Estate burnt down, now that Max was caught attempting the same thing.
Plum. This heist would’ve been his greatest moneymaker, if only his damn kid hadn’t ruined it. It was time to kiss his dreams of early retirement goodbye.
Meanwhile, Max was glaring at his father, studying his face,
Tumblr media
when he suddenly wrung his hands.
“I’m so sorry, Dad. It won’t happen again. I promise I’ll never get caught again.”
Tumblr media
Jacques sighed.
“Fine,” he said. “We’ve learned our lesson. Next time, this won’t happen.”
Tumblr media
“Of course, Dad,” said Max. His mouth twitched for a brief second.
“Hold on,” said a voice behind them. “There’s not going to be a next time for either of you.”
“What?” Jacques whirled around.
Tumblr media
“You’re banned from the estate,” said Bernard.
“But just my son, right?” said Jacques, panicking. This was his favorite establishment! “I can still come here to cosplay and play chess, right?”
“No. Both of you are banned. Permanently.” Bernard was adamant.
Jacques froze, then flared, pulling himself up to his full height.
Tumblr media
“Do you even know who I am and what I’m capable of?”
Bernard raised his eyebrows. “Are you trying to threaten an immortal 120-year-old ghost infamous for his foul temper?”
Jacques bared his teeth. “I’ll make you regret this, phantom.”
“You don’t scare me, fopdoodle.” Bernard smiled. “I’ll show you scary.”
Tumblr media
The ghost lunged forward, eyes wild, spittle flying out of his mouth.
“I will not allow you or your hell-born babe to defile these premises and potentially endanger others here ever again! You are hereby permanently banned from this cherished tourist destination!”
Tumblr media
Jacques recoiled and stayed quiet.
Max watched the ghost in awe. Bernard was a formidable foe, indeed. It was now Max: 1, Bernard: 1, but Max knew this was far from over.
Tumblr media
Meanwhile, Jacques couldn’t believe what had just happened. As he stood there, cowed by a ghost and banned from his favorite establishment because of his kid, he realized something.
His children were a liability.
As long as his kids existed, he would never achieve true happiness. A heinous thought crossed his heinous mind for the second time tonight.
Jacques knew exactly what he had to do.

Ghosties!! I've never actually seen the ghosts at Von Haunt Estate before. I guess I don't play there very often.

Some random photos I took in Chestnut Ridge because it's really pretty and I haven't played enough with the world. Plus I had Iseul go for a walk, and Tess was walking one of the paths as well. In this universe, she's married to someone else, and I dyed her hair this reddish color for fun and it suits her pretty well. 🤔😊
Anyway, Iseul continues her walk. She digs up a treasure map, a piece of metal, and even finds a frog. She decides to keep the frog for a bit, and then release her back before leaving for home. She names the frog Greer, and chats with her on her way home as she holds her gently in her hand. Greer is probably like what the heck? I didn't sign up for this, but resignedly ribbits as she listens to this human chatting about random stuff. 👀😂

I am so tired of my sims 4 heir getting crushes on every person she encounters. Every other want of hers involves ‘ask crush out’ and ‘talk to crush’ and ‘ask (friend) to be girlfriend/boyfriend’. She wanted to ask her childhood crush to be her boyfriend but then got the want to break up with him after her friend (ANOTHER CRUSH) flirted at her. How is she not tired of her own drama

Say what you wanna about the legacy of vox machina across exandria, but fucking NOBODY is haunting the narrative like Percival “I made the world’s first gun (with help from a demon (and then the idea was taken and copied by an unethical scientist who sold the plans and spread the invention worldwide, leading to artillery-based warfare))” Fredrickstein von Musel Klossowski “my family’s estate is the sole-exporter of an extremely rare substance with untold magic-enhancing power (and when control of our home was taken from us by force that powerful substance made it into the hands of dangerously unethical magic users determined to use it to increase their own considerable magical power (and also to experiment on young and impressionable mages to attempt to increase their power artificially))” de Rolo III

It was -- sadly less than rocking, I’m sorry to report. I mean, it wasn’t TERRIBLE -- Smiler invited a bunch of people they knew but weren’t really friends with to catch up (Blossom and Knox Greenburg, Cameron Fletcher, Becca Clarke, and Julia Wright), and everyone showed up in fun costumes and decent moods (I DEEPLY appreciate that the game decided Smiler should be a clown XD). I even prepped the place with a buffet table and drink fountain so anyone who actually needed to eat had someplace to go.
But, the thing is, I’d never THROWN an Incognito Costume Party before, and I didn’t know what the goals would be. Meaning I was thrown when the main goal was to talk about everyone’s costumes (which -- seemed to consist of two interactions, compliment or insult) AND the sub-goals included things like COOKING A HAMBURGER CAKE. Smiler and I gave it our best shot -- they were able to fly into the kitchen to make the cake and give everyone a mood boost with their new Influence Emotions power, and I got the place a “Don’t Wake The Llama” game so Blossom, Julia, and Becca could play with Smiler -- but in the end, all Smiler managed was a Bronze-level party, with a “here, have a skill book to improve yourself” reward. *sigh* Well, at least they seemed happy -- and it did tick off one of the parties they needed to throw for the aspiration, so. . .
Anyway -- next time, Fall starts in the Chill Save with a Prank Day Sunday! And that very much sounds like Smiler’s jam. . .

The True Story of the Villareal Family [1.2]
prev // home // next
Tumblr media
The Von Haunt Estate is a wonderful tourist destination for families, and Jacques couldn’t be happier to finally be away from his.
Tumblr media
With his annoying kids out of the way until their secret meeting tonight, Jacques could get back to his second-favorite hobby:
Tumblr media
Playing chess,
Tumblr media
-while in cosplay. And, miraculously, he wasn’t the only Sim in Windenburg with this hobby. There was a whole club devoted to it.
Tumblr media
The suit was stifling hot, you could barely breathe in it, and it was very hard to see the chess pieces, but Jacques loved it nonetheless. And, it was more socially acceptable than his other favorite hobby, murder.
Tonight, Jacques would have to work (they say evil never sleeps, and neither do level 9 criminals in the criminal career), but for now, he had the whole afternoon to play chess in his clinkity-clankity suit of armor.
───────────────✦───────────────
Tumblr media
Meanwhile, Luna and Lady Mimsy were getting along like peanut butter and jelly.
She was just teaching the ghost how to slide into someone’s DMs when a voice startled them.
Tumblr media
“Ghost!” shouted the voice, muffled by the suit of armor. “Go away, ghost! You leave her alone!”
Tumblr media
Luna burst out laughing. “Relax! Mimsy’s, like, not even a little scary. And we’re besties, actually.”
“…besties?” said Mimsy.
“It means we’re BFFLs,” explained Luna.
“…biffles?”
Tumblr media
The figure in the suit stiffened. “Well, I uh, thought you were maybe in trouble. Do you always laugh at people trying to help you?”
“Only when they’re wearing costumes from a Halloween store,” she retorted. “But thanks for the noble gesture.”
“Hey now, this is custom-tailored plate armor.” Was it just Luna or did this knight sound cheeky?
“Okay, nerd.”
“Yo, I am not a nerd. You’re the nerd.”
“Said the person wearing a custom-made knight outfit.” Her mouth twitched with a smile. Two could be cheeky.
Tumblr media
She searched the face of the suit for a reaction, but couldn’t see anything behind the visor. She could swear the knight wasn’t taking their eyes off her, though.
Behind her, Luna heard Mimsy suppress a giggle. “Well, I must attend to some ghostly business, bestie. Have fun with your knight in shining armor!”
Tumblr media
“Wait, I’m not looking for like, a savior or anything,” she said, but Mimsy had already floated away. Luna placed a hand on her hip.
The knight tutted, shaking their head. “And here I thought you were just a nice, boring girl.”
Luna narrowed her eyes. “What’s that supposed to mean?”
“I’m just saying, you’re not what I expected. I didn’t know a pretty, popular girl like you could be so savage.”
Tumblr media
“Well, I’m full of surprises,” said Luna with another coy smile. She didn’t know who was in this knight suit, but they certainly had her attention. And it didn’t escape her notice that they had called her pretty.
───────────────✦───────────────
“Hey Mister.”
Tumblr media
Max had found his own ghost to talk to, a translucent figure standing at an easel.
Tumblr media
The ghost of Lord Bernard turned, tensing as he saw Max. “Yes, child?” he said.
“Is that your art?” said Max, pointing at the piece on the easel.
The ghost raised his eyebrows, but then puffed his chest up proudly. “Why yes, it’s only half-finished, but-"
“I now see why you killed yourself.”
Tumblr media
Bernard stood frozen in shock for a brief second, then descended upon the child like a raging tempest.
“Listen here, you little ratbag,” he spat. “It was an accident.”
“Yeah, right,” said Max.
“The fire was never supposed to spread-“
“The painting you threw into the fireplace was waaay too big to fit in there and you knew it. Of course you knew the fire would spread.”
Tumblr media
Bernard spluttered in shock.
“Ooh, burn!” said Max. “Literally! Haha!”
And the more Bernard quivered with rage, the more Max grinned.
───────────────✦───────────────
Just past the seething ghost, over the railing and below the walkway, lay a vast collection of hedges, and within those hedges, a certain teenager was lost.
Tumblr media
Hugo checked his Voidcritter Go! app on his phone.
“Let’s see, this is where I found the Dicoatl, which means I want to turn right to get out of here – wait, there’s no right-"
Tumblr media
The sky was darkening, Hugo’s stomach was growling, and he was pretty sure he’d passed this spot of hedges before. And he couldn’t shake the feeling that he was being watched.
“Oh plum,” he said to himself, getting worried. “I gotta get to Dad’s Family Fun Day, but I’m all mixed up now…”
───────────────✦───────────────
Luna was still with the knight who had “saved” her from Mimsy’s ghost. Somehow, the entire afternoon had slipped away while they were talking.
Tumblr media
“So, why were you so aggressive towards Mimsy? Are you afraid of ghosts or something?”
“No!” said the knight quickly. “And I’m not aggressive. I’m tough. I don’t want anybody messing with people I care about.”
Tumblr media
“So you saw me and decided you cared about me? That’s why you were acting tough?”
“No,” said the knight, a little too quickly again. “You know, just because you act like a princess doesn’t mean every knight is fawning over you.”
Luna paused, frowning for a brief moment, before slyly raising a finger to the knight’s helmet.
Tumblr media
“So, who is my tough knight in shining armor who doesn’t care about me?” she said, slowly lifting their visor,
Tumblr media
but the knight stepped back before she could reveal their face. “H-hey! Hands off the suit, princess,” they stammered.
Tumblr media
Luna doubled over giggling. “You said you didn’t care about me, but suddenly you’re too shy to show me your face?” She straightened back up, still giggling, and handed the knight something.
“Here,” she said. “Because I like you even though you’re shy.”
Tumblr media
“Uh, what?” The knight stood there, flustered, holding Luna’s phone.
“I’m asking for your number, genius. It’s almost nightfall and I have to go.”
“Oh!” If the knight was blushing, Luna couldn’t tell. They struggled to enter their number on her phone with their clunky metal fingers, finally handing it back after several painstaking minutes.
“There you go. Don’t text me anything too savage, princess. Or do.”
Luna wondered if the knight was smiling.
Tumblr media
She giggled. “Goodbye, my knight in shining armor.” Luna blew them a kiss, betting it would send them weak in the knees,
Tumblr media
and she was right.
“Bye, princess…”
Tumblr media
Luna sauntered away, butterflies tingling in her stomach.
As she walked off into the sunset, she could barely concentrate on her Family Fun Day obligations. All she could think about was her mysterious knight in shining armor.
───────────────✦───────────────
While Luna was making friends, Max was making enemies.
Tumblr media
It was official now: The ghost of Lord Bernard Escargot Shallot IV was afraid of a 10-year-old.
Tumblr media
When the sun started to set, Max finally walked away from his new enemy, triumphant.
It was Max: 1, Bernard: 0.
───────────────✦───────────────
Tumblr media
But the day wasn’t over yet, and Jacques was waiting for his children. The real work of Family Fun Day was just about to begin.

VON HAUNT ESTATE - MAXIS-MATCH CC BUILD
Formerly the residence of Lord and Lady Shallot, the Von Haunt Estate has undergone restoration and now welcomes the public as a museum. Inside, visitors can explore the personal art collection and belongings of the estate's previous lords. However, a word of caution: the lords were known to be quite possessive of their possessions, and there are occasional rumors of their ghosts wandering the grounds... It's likely nothing to worry about. If you want to check out the construction progress, watch the YouTube video linked below.

Since the announcement that two or three new versions of Ghosts are in the works, I've been thinking about what sort of ghosts we might get to see / I'd like to see in a German adaptation and put together a list of my ideas. You will see some similarities with our beloved original ghosts as well as completely new characters, and I did my best to find a balance between male and female characters and include a variety of historical eras.
This is obviously just a very basic list with some notes but I do have thoughts about these characters (how they died, what powers they might have, their inner conflict etc.) so if you'd like to know more, please ask (also German producers, I hereby officially volunteer as tribute writer)!
German Ghosts
Female Neanderthal (40,000 BC)
Neanderthals were named after the German Neander valley so I think it's only fair to include a Neanderthal in the show. Since no one needs a Robin 2.0, I'd make the character female and give her a dog because ghost animals are fun and we need more of them.
Roman & German (9 AD)
Two guys - let's call them Marcus and Alber - who fought on opposite sides died in the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest, became ghosts and eventually best friends. They'd rather die again than admit that to anyone, though.
Bog Girl (600 AD)
A little girl who haunts the marshlands around the house but not the property itself. Most of the ghosts avoid her until the Naturalist gets curious and starts to befriend her.
Plague Ghosts (Mid-1600s)
A group of victims of the 30 Years' War whose deaths were caused by famine and disease and not the war directly (though they insist they died 'in the war').
Naturalist (Late 1700s)
A scientist like Alexander von Humboldt and Charles Darwin who embraces becoming a ghost from the get go and does various experiments (on himself and the others) to figure out how ghost rules work and what is and isn't possible.
Composer (Early 1800s)
A young composer who has a (perceived) rivalry with Beethoven because he's lost part of his hearing. Think German equivalent of Thomas Thorne.
Female Soldier (Early 1800s)
Based on stories like that of Friederike Krüger, this woman posed as a man and joined the army during the Napoleonic Wars.
Woman in White (Late 1800s)
The lady of the house at the time. After she died in childbirth, she was forced to watch her husband's mistress raise her daughter. She died wearing her white nightgown (something she is quite embarrassed about) and can be seen in pictures.
WW1 Surgeon (1930s)
Another former owner of the house, this man was a surgeon in WW1 and still carries the trauma of that time with him (think Siegfried from All Creatures Great and Small).
Luftwaffe Pilot (1940s)
Remember the two German pilots from BBC Ghosts? This guy was their friend and has always wondered what happened to them. He crash-landed on the grounds during a training exercise.
Estate Agent (early 2020s)
A woman who took over the house after the last owner passed away. While assessing the property, she had a heart attack and died there, leading to rumours about the house being cursed and haunted increasing.
The House
While the house will probably be a manor house like in the original series, I think it would be fun if this version of the show shook things up a little and had the German Coopers inherit an old mill, or perhaps even an actual (small) castle.
