. Tywin Lannister, as a sim as portrayed by actor Charles Dance in TV series Game of Thrones Family, wisdom, legacy, control.
.
. Tywin Lannister, the authority of the eternal yesterday, the customs sanctified by their immemorial validity and the habit rooted in men to respect them.
Despite all his claims about Family, if you look at his actions he is first and foremost a Fortune sim. He claims family is his motivation but if you think about it, the true motivation is his family's position - the shine, the respect, the superiority. In his traditional mind, a father's job is to be out there working, so he is out there winning the war. He doesn't get to be with his family because his family - daughter and grandson - started the war - and frankly he is far more competent out there than with them anyway.
In my game I have freetime, and I made him a Fortune/Family sim. Up to you to decide what you want him to be - yet I don't imagine Tywin Lannister playing with the fridge door or jumping on the couch. This man smiled with his wife, and after she died while giving birth he became forever grim. Now he smiles when he crushes an enemy, and that's it. He smiled with Arya Stark, too, but that is a rare exception. I believe he liked her because she's smart, tough and a good worker - like himself.
Zodiac : In the sims game, Tywin would be the purest Scorpio. Neat, Shy, Active, Serious and Grouchy. Don't be afraid to give him zero for grouchiness, remember the Red Wedding, Tywin isn't afraid to cheat to win the game.
. Actor Charles Dance is charismatic I seem to have this sort of aristocratic demeanor
He likes swimming, riding a bike, playing the ukulele and the guitar, poetry, white wine and to sleep early.
About old actors If we retire, there'll be nobody to play the old wrinklies, and that would be a dreadful shame.
. Tywin Lannister Quotes Lannisters don't act like fools.
The future of our family will be determined in these next few months. Before long I'll be dead, and you, and your brother, and your sister, and all of her children. All of us dead, all of us rotting in the ground. It's the family name that lives on. That's all that lives on.
This will be my last war, win or lose. Do you know what legacy means? It's what you pass down to your children, and your children's children. It's what remains of you when you're gone.
M'lord. Low-born girls say m'lord, not my lord. If you're going to pose as a commoner, you should do it properly.
Any man who must say I am the king is no true king. I'll make sure you understand that when I've won your wars for you.

Some YouTube Videos featuring Tywin, or talking about him:
^ I love this scene so much. Joffrey (young king) doesn't get it. Everybody else is mortified. Look at their faces, lol. Joffrey has no idea what could have happened here, but their faces tell it all.
.
^ Tywin is so tall and intimidating in this scene! He stays extremely polite the entire time, but he is so cold and unimpressed. To him, Joffrey isn't royalty, he calls him 'Your Grace' but his entire attitude says something else entirely.
.
^ Love this review of Tywin's talent as an influencer, a master of puppets of some sort. Review by Charisma on Command.

INCLUDED!!! - INCLUDED!!! - Everything! :D
If you download the Sim of Tywin you get everything, the separate downloads are for those who just want one specific part. The sim you get is an adult. Feel free to turn him to an elder if you want, but elder sims walk, talk and act in a way that I felt unfitting for my Tywin.

Additional Credits: THE GOLDEN LIST
All the fantastic, patient, kind people who helped me along the way of making this sim, either on the Creator's Feedback Forum, on my thread about mesh problems, or on the Where Can I Find forum!
A big, big thank you from the bottom of my heart! This has been team work!
My Tywin wouldn't be the same without you!
Don't forget to Thank the creator after downloading! Use the Thanks button located above the screenshots above.
Basic Download and Install Instructions:
1. Download: Click the download link to save the .rar or .zip file(s) to your computer.
2. Extract the zip, rar, or 7z file.
3. Install: Double-click on the .sims2pack file to install its contents to your game. The files will automatically be installed to the proper location(s).
You may want to use the Sims2Pack Clean Installer instead of the game's installer, which will let you install sims and pets which may otherwise give errors about needing expansion packs. It also lets you choose what included content to install. Do NOT use Clean Installer to get around this error with lots and houses as that can cause your game to crash when attempting to use that lot. Get S2PCI here: Clean Installer Official Site.
If you get an error that says "This content requires expansion pack data that is not installed", please use either Clean Installer to install this sim.
Thank you very much, you are too kind.
I don't think I will sim any musician soon, but I plan on finishing a sim of the american actor Jack Nicholson. I started making his sim a long time ago, and I have new tools and more experience now.
Hum..Jack Nickolson sometimes has a very slizzy look in his eyes. I remember that from this movie can't remember the name where he's a sort of an odd character and as he approaches the female he makes remarks which heart her feelings without him actually meaning to. Anyway, good luck and I think you'll do a good job as i've seen your work. Visit me at sexysims 2 and see what you think of my work on the new bodyshape if you want.

For the moment I am working on a sim from the Walking Dead series, but when I am at Jack I'll tell you, if you want. You can come to the feedback forum and help me get him right.

Thanks so much! I think Mr. Dance deserves this for his soooo amazing work with Tywin. He gave him some EMOTIONS. And, I am glad I got him right. We deserve Tywin in our game! :D

Wow. what a great job. Thank you for working so hard to make him just right.
Thanks Dear, it's truly a work of love. I sincerely admire the work of Mr. Charles Dance on this character. Also, Tywin reminds me of someone I knew who I loved greatly. She was a complicated elderly person, angry, misunderstood, just like him. Yet when I was alone with her, it was just like Tywin with Arya.
