Because I am obsessed and have a lot of random Sims related thoughts, I have created a Sims related twitter account:

But I'd imagine the real reason is that no one thought about it, and at this point I think we've both given it more thought than their creators did.
And then to make matters worse, Jenny does look like Chloe and Lola, them all being based on face 2, but the only parent they share is Glarn, who we've already established she doesn't look like. And while Vidcund and Jenny don't really look alike at all, Johnny sort of has his uncle's nose. The whole thing makes no sense.
That wouldn't be weird, though, considering Glarn had such double life, imo!! XD Having kids with aliens that no one knew about, and what about Glabe!? Was he with her at the time he was with Kitty? (considering Chloe's age, he probably was...)
Imho, it shouldn't be trusted too much anymore. It used to be pretty accurate, but apparently, at some point, someone started making changes on it, and now a lot of the info there is just so off it's not even funny! (I've even seen relationships, like love/crushes, that don't exist in the game by default!)
As for Glarn/Glabe, I worked on Strangetown "prequel" a few years ago and that was, at least, my take on their backstory. The actual story never got too far (and was posted on a forum, not here) but I have a few spam posts in my LJ about it. (tagged: "Past". I even recreated their houses based on the org. household screenshots. It was fun!)
You're right, the only thing that implies that Chloe & Lola are older than Jenny is the order of the pictures in the Curious photo album... Hmm.
Yeah, the Wiki is pretty bad. The description about the "Ottomas glitch" makes me twitch. (It has nothing to do with the Ottomas family, it's a pre-seasons-patch glitch related to pregnant sims and hood merging - it even happened to the Critturs first, but apparently no one noticed this because they're dogs.) Ahem.
The other explanation (for the sisters' age) would be that aliens age slower than other sims, but only some hybrid spawns actually inherit this trait. This could explain Nine's age, and the age difference between Chloe and Lola with the Curious, as much as their own age difference if they were twins. (I personally don't think they are, but it fits that mysterious picture! :P)
I've gone for the "aliens age more slowly" explanation too, but right now I'm not really sure. :P EAxis did quite badly screw up the whole Lola & Chloe side of the family, with the family ties and all. I still like to believe they're twins, even if their ages are a bit off. I also choose to disregard Glarn still having a pregnant belly in that picture with the alien babies, because I don't think it means anything except that EAxis messed it up. :P
Maybe things didn't go so smoothly with Glarn's abductions for some reason, maybe he was one of the first sims abducted, or maybe Nine wasn't all that good at his job and screwed up some how! It could be so many things :P
The wiki's "He divorced her and she still raised the kids that he abandoned" thing never sat right with me. I mean, there are people who would do that, but that kind of claim needs something to support it.
I do think it's very possible the creators of Pleasantview did name her after the Mary Sue fan term, though, because they did put a whole lot of other nerdy references in the game ("Prisoner of Azkalamp", "Brickrolled", etc) and Mary Sue is a very old term, dating back to when several of the programmers were kids. But if anything, they named her so out of irony, playing into the theme that the Pleasants are perfect on the outside, but very imperfect below the surface.
Slightly unrelated, but I'm also sick of people who LOVE Lilith but HATE Angela. :P
Though I do feel sorry for Lilith, though. I start the game and her whole family starts smacking her around...that's not cool.
Also, I must have something that prevents violence between teens and adults - as there's no 'fight' interactions available between them at all, except 'throw drink', but I can't for the life of me figure out what it is. D: It's been there for ages, too, and I thought it was default game behaviour, but turns out that others get these interactions just fine. :sad: ...Not that I'm for abuse or anything, but in some relationships/story-type things it'd be useful.
I remember, tho, when Sims2 came out, a lot of people were hating on Lilith because she was so difficult to play, and I think the "but it's not Lilith's fault!" thing was a bit of a backlash to that - at least I know it influenced me.
I like them both now, and am kinda sad I only have one in the merged hood I'm playing (I randomly killed off about half)
I don't tweet but I do follow. Couldn't think of anywhere else to toss in this two cents.
As a token "Y" I sometimes wonder if it would even be possible to engender (oops) the level of spite that others seem to get without effort in this comm.
Oh shit. Just noticed we're surrounded on all sides by teal deer. (Self-evident ones fortunately.)
