Ciem/YMMV

Even Better Sequel: Ciem 2 wanted to be this to the original Ciem.
Moral Event Horizon: Gunner and Skellig. But the trophy goes to Kelsea Linney. After her initial effort to blow up the Levens' house meets with an unexpected Musaran encounter, she decides to activate the bomb from within her car and simply ram the house, killing herself and her small child in the process.
- Note: She brought A SMALL BOY to help her BOMB SOMEONE'S HOUSE! Why? Because she hated him, she stole his debit card, he tried to get it back, and she tried to get revenge by calling him a stalker. But when her allegations and the facts didn't add up, she had to take matters into her own hands...
Shallow Love Interest: Not deemed canon in-universe, but neither of Candi's husbands gets very much Character Development outside of their relationship with her; so, to the readers/audience at least, Donte and Denny may appear somewhat shallow. Made worse by the fact that if they (especially Donte) weren't forced out of her life, (temporarily or otherwise,) there wouldn't be much of a plot.
Unfortunate Implications: Merle, a white cop, beats a defenseless Donte, a black man, for information.
- And the Flippo girls, in defiance of Erin's prudery, seem to measure their worth largely by how competently they can end up in a lasting marriage. Not too terrible though, since the men they marry measure themselves by the same standard.
- Andrew the Truck Driver, a black man, hates Mexicans.
  - Edited out of the Mod The Sims Social syndicated version, to avoid breaching the site's rules that stories cannot depict (mundane) racism.
- The only character that is made obvious as a lesbian dies.
The Woobie: Candi, in some ways, though her Wangst may get a little annoying to some readers. At least at first, the universe just seems to hate her guts.
Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds / Emo: Jeral/Botan, especially when being controlled by an AI backvisor.
