La Paroisse - a cozy town based on a Québec' TV show

La Paroisse - a cozy town based on Québec' TV show

While watching one of my favorite show with my boyfriend (Le temps d'une paix), I had the idea to create a sims 2 neighborhood based on the characters of the show. Mind you, the story is set after WW1 in rural Québec, where the catholic church ruled with an iron hand and technologies just started to appear in the province countryside. The show itself is from 1980-1986. I took some creative liberties to change the characters to fit in the game and to be more diverse. I hope you enjoy La Paroisse!

You need all EP and packs for this to work. No CC needed. A camera mod is recommended but not needed!

La Paroisse's neighborhood code is LP80.

------------------
Saint-Cyr
Rose-Anna, adult
Albertine, elder
George-Aimé, teenager
Lionel, adult

Rose-Anna is still loyal to the memory of her late husband Antoine, but she allows herself some light-hearted fun with the handsome Joseph-Arthur. Mind you, she enjoys her life as it is and she's not seeking marriage, but will Joseph-Arthur keep proposing?

Meanwhile, Lionel is preparing for his wedding to Noella. He works hard farming the land and repairing cars to make enough money and offer her the life she deserves.

------------------
Savary
Raoul, adult
Juliette, adult
Jeanne-D'Arc, baby

Juliette's life turned out better than she expected after getting pregnant and marrying Raoul. She doesn't have to live the life of an unmarried mother, with all the hardships and stigmas it carries. The only problem is, does Raoul truly loves her? Will her happiness last?

---------
Tremblay
Antoinette, adult
Vipérine, adult

Antoinette is a no-nonsense, goal-oriented woman. She knows what she wants, and doesn't want, namely MacPherson's affections. Ironically, Vipérine has the biggest crush on him.

---------
Connell
Valérien, adult
MacPherson, adult

Valérien and MacPherson decided to live together to save on rent. With Valérien's tendency to party and MacPherson following his lead most of the time, these two are causing more trouble than they ought to.

------------------
Lavoie
Joseph-Arthur, elder
Yvon, adult
Marie-Des-Neiges, adult
Exilia, toddler
Apolline, baby

Yvon is a strong family man and found his match in Marie-Des-Neiges. They work had to manage the farm and raise their children.

Joseph-Arthur is delighted to live his golden days close to his family, but he can’t stop thinking about what his life would be married to the woman he loves.

----------------------
Desrosiers
Siméon, adult
Marie-Rose, adult
Henri, teenager
Noella, adult

Siméon and Marie-Rose are very happy with the upcoming wedding of their niece, Noella. Unfortunately, their son is causing his father much headache due to his admiration of Joseph-Arthur.

-------------------
Leclerc
Isidore, adult
Tancrède, adult

Zidore is the most disliked man in La Paroisse. In a town where people mind their own business, his favorite pastime is to acquire and spread gossip and slander. Too bad his son is just as lazy and unlikeable as his father.

---------------------
Chouinard
Pierre, elder
Pierre lost his family years ago and never got over it. To keep himself busy, he takes his job very seriously and keeps good relationships with most of La Paroisse inhabitants.

--------------------
Fournier
Cyprien, adult
Marie-Thérèse, adult
Alexandrine, adult

The Fournier are a very proper and successful family. Well, they wish they were. Benoit is the pride and joy of his parents, but Alexandrine’s interest in activism and politics ruffle Cyprien's feathers. Will she wreak havoc in this otherwise peaceful town?

--------------------
Fournier
Benoit, adult
A simple word to describe Benoit is : ambitious. The man dreams of fortune and power, and might one day dip his toes in politics.
