Where are these bodies?

I found that too! My firefighter sim had to go downt there and dig some people out of rubble after an earthquake and I saw the odd basement. My impression of it was more of a secret meeting place for a hush-hush organization/club. Since it was in a very large and very rich house and the basement was so cold/gray/industrial looking it made me think of a secret society or something that uses a nice old rich house as a cover up... Maybe I'm looking at it in the wrong way...

Slow Blaze is slow.

Are we still on about all the ghosts being green, or was that a genuine mix-up between resurrected skintone and actual ghosts? Because I have a particularly zappy, yellow ghost by the name of Pixie floating around and scaring the heck out of my kids..

This same question was asked on the sims3 official forums. And the answer that people came up with, TwinbrooK is Innsmouth. They even added a statue vaguely based on C'thulu called Troggo.Innsmouth is a fictional town in H.P. Lovecraft's Shadow Over Innsmouth and other stories. Look it up, the similarities are very bizzaar.

The mayor quarantined Twinbrook because someone there has a case of the Mondays.

I thought Twinbrook was a reference to Twinpeaks... or am I just very old? :p

Has anybody else noticed the burnt out forest near the military base and the curious house? It's a bit creepy, because the grounds an unatural yellow, and in the bacround is a barren bunch of some very small islands in the middle of water, which apper to be from the water running dry which really supports the "Twinbrook is Strangetown"

Yeah, i noticed that too. I think it's because of meteor strikes. IIRC, there's a meteor spawner there and a fresh crater there. And if you examine the map view you can see craters that could have been thousand years old that it looks smoother because of erosion.
Maybe Twinbrook is a meteor magnet? And all those meteors cause radiations that screws the townspeople so bad that they slowly transform into mutants?

Yeah thats possible. Maybe thats why some of the people are so fugly... it's either that, or way too much inbreeding

Is it just me, or is this all really weird....

There's a train wreck in the ocean, a multi car pileup near bayless memorial junkyard, and or is it just me or does it look like meteor craters behind guppy gills pond.

kinda weird if you ask me, could be radiation, sludge, as other have mentioned

could be aliens, mass murderer

plus, it might not be as quarantined as we think it is, on the road nthat goes up to the ppidgin roost, its barricaded to cars, but not to bikers or people who walk... hmm

i'll take "there's something in the water" for 500, please.

You just gave me some incentives playing Twinbrooks

Can we trust Simwiki, though?

:3

I don't like Twinbrook, it's too creepy for me to play. Those ugly sims are like serial killers hiding in the swamp and always ready to stab behind your back.

It's definitely my favorite neighborhood, hands down. I haven't resurrected any pre-made sims yet.. I am so going to do that now.

Someone said something about an indian burial ground, and dude, how amazing would it be if we got a neighborhood with an actual indian burial ground, along with pueblo houses? And in keeping with that likely very racist stereotype (but this IS the sims), Shamans. Effing seriously.

ZOMBIES!!!!
But has anyone looked at the Pidgin roost lately. Ya' know all the pillars in the broken down pool and pond combo. The town is old and creepy i just realized....
I have very bad observation skills, Twinbrook was the first town I played and I never realized the history of it, although I did think the little five year old ghost riding the bike up to teh fancy neighbourhood was a bit creepy...
Come to think of it, the cemetary is rather large...
If this is the new 'strangetown'...has anyone seen Bella? Just kidding...

Sorry for digging up an old thread, but I've been playing TB a lot, and came across this thread and the sims3 thread and just had to comment. Some ppl are making the comparison between TB and Strangetown, that TB BECOMES Strangetown. Then I see the reverse happening as far as the green ppl, that the green ppl are ancestors they got rid of for some reason or another.

Can't have it working both ways. Can only go forward. I would put forth that if TB becomes Strangetown, that the toxic dumping/distasters/isolation/gene pool starvation lead to the residents of TB becoming the ancestors of the residents of Strangetown. In other words: the aliens used to be human.

I'm only on pg 60 of the sims3 thread and mostly posted to see if anyone out there was still interested in the mysteries (sorry if its been solved and I'm a noob).

Which house is that?

Twinbrook is easily my favourite town not just in TS3 but maybe in all the games combined. It's the reason I went from "Oh this game is pretty fun" to "Wow I think this has replaced TS2 in my heart". At first view, I thought it was just beautiful, but as I played it more, I liked how it became beautiful in a weird, sinister, ugly way. There's so many creepy little details littered all over the town and it makes the town seem really lived in? IMO, everything in Sunset Valley and other towns is so bright and clean it looks like it was just built, whereas Twinbrook is very atmospheric; I can imagine the Pidgins having lived in that house for years and years, for example. I don't know, I have a lot of love for this town. I wish they'd developed the stories a little more so that there would be more concrete answers for some of these mysteries, but I guess I also like filling in the blanks myself.

i also loved Twinbrook, it was a great step-away from the sunny beachtown Sunset Valley, i think that the deceased sims are green because to make them look Zombie like , perhaps when ressurecting, i also notice how EA got lazy with relating them to families, they just give them a name and appearance similar to someone in town and then wham, they can play dead.

i also see that alot of people mention here inbreeding, that is strange because Gwayne Bayless is said to be inbred ( her eyes are heavily angled ), the description also says that the families origins "are a bit hard to track down", i think the town is in quarantane because of the hazards that have been found around town, ( deadly swamp gas as you said ) or perhaps other reasons, i also loved that the town has much more history than Riverview opr Sunset Valley, such as the Pidgin's house, i loved playing them, i also loved the the destroyed pool being turned into a great fishtank, the old and creepy houses and atmosphere and a lot more stuff...

Maybe it's quarantined so that the sims can't get out into the real world... dun dun DUN

Oh dear Watcher.
Remind me never to play in TwinBrook again.
-Coward Trait-

^ Lol, now I want to move my legacy to Twinbrook for all the possible mutant sewage stories and other crazy things I can write about Maybe I have the "insanely evil writer" trait XD
