The Delacroixes: Part I

Alex and Jean-Pierre are brothers but are a world apart. Both were born in Avignon to an Egyptian journalist and a French archaeologist; but Alex left France with his mother after she objected to his father's plans. He's never seen his brother since, and they've have barely talked to each other for the last 15 years. But after his father's untimely death, Jean-Pierre decides to return to his mother in search of help.

The Delacroix Family
Once a vastly wealthy and influential family in the south-east of France, the Delacroixes lost their power and land to the Castello family of Piedmont. Since then, they've been been embroiled in a bitter feud for at least five hundred years, with neither side intending to stop.

Antoine Delacroix (deceased)
Born in the city of Chevreux and raised in Champ-les-Sims, Antoine Delacroix almost achieved what he had always wanted; restoring some semblance of the fame the Delacroixes once had. It is well known that he discovered the tomb of King Ramsim IV, but apart from the brief period of fame, he gained nothing.

He always remembered the vitrolic stories his father and uncle told him about the Castellos, and had no hesitation about telling these stories to his son Jean-Pierre. If only Alexandre was still around...

Notes/ Issues
- As Alex uses the body slider, too much exercise will cause his body slider to snap back to the pre-set limits, leaving him looking weird. Anything that affects the muscle mass slider may cause this issue. Either revert to an earlier save, find a way to reset his body fitness, narrow his face and features to match the slimmer body, or hope a mod comes out soon that changes it! Other than that and some cosmetic clipping issues, he plays well.
- With Alex and Jean-Pierre, aging will result in 'pout-mouthedness', due to the way the Sims 3 handles facial structures (durp a durp). Just edit them in CAS and move the mouth height slider to the right until it looks right!
- I've included a pre-made household for convenience. However, it is in a Sims3pack format, and I hold no responsibility if your computer starts smoking!
- If you want to use any one of these sims in a story of your own, do notify me first. I'm itching to see what stories you have!
- Have fun :D
