Committed to his children, Antonio is determined to get to the bottom of his wife Hero's death. And what will be his role in the family feud that may have cost him his one true love?''
Antonio appears as a toddler when his family still lives in Monte Vista. He lives with his parents and sister. At this time, Claudio hasn't been born yet, as Isabella is still pregnant. He's good friends with all members of his close family, though he hasn't met his grandparents yet, Valentine and Silvia. In this town, the Montys haven't met the Capps yet, thus there hasn't been a family feud at the time. Antonio is one of the only toddlers in Monte Vista from The Sims 2 base game; the other one is Goopy GilsCarbo.
Life leading up to The Sims 2
Antonio and all other living members of the Monty family live in Veronaville. He's married to Hero and has twin children, Beatrice and Benedick. Antonio is a widower, as Hero is already deceased. He works as an Executive Chef in the Culinarycareer. All the members of Monty family work in Culinary career track, which means they appear to be a long-line family of cooks. When Veronaville is first played, he and his children appears in the Family Bin, waiting for the players to move them in. He is 18 days away from becoming an elder.
Antonio's memories reveal that he had a good childhood, learning all three of the basic toddler skills from his parents. He began working in the Culinary career track since teenage and met his wife, Hero, early in his adult life; she was his first and only romance. Oddly, despite remembering marrying Hero and having the twins, he doesn't have the memory of having WooHooed with her. Antonio's highest interests are Crime, Food, Work, and Paranormal; and his lowest are Entertainment, Sci-Fi, Weather, and Health. Antonio is overweight, like several other members of the Monty family.
The Montys and Capps have begun feuding in Veronaville. Antonio is enemies with Regan, Consort, Goneril, Kent and Tybalt Capp. He is also considered an enemy by Albany Capp. While most playable Sims in The Sims 2 had their first kiss as a teenager, Antonio had his first kiss as an adult.
A wedding cake that is named after Antonio is available in buy mode for The Sims 2. He is the only family bin Sim in The Sims 2 base game that is not unemployed. When editing in SimPE, his zodiac sign is not recognized. This could explain why Antonio doesn't have a zodiac sign mismatch in-game like most pre-made playable Sims from the base game do.
Even though Antonio has reached level 6 of the Culinary career, he doesn't have the corresponding career reward available for him to purchase. Consort Capp, Patrizio and Isabella Monty also have this quirk.
Antonio uses a pre-made CAS face already in Create a Sim, for the third skin tone for adult males, with the short spiky hair, combed eyebrows, stubble, and vandyke beard. The obvious differences are the eyebrows and nose which use the 17th Maxis face template, the jaw which uses the 27th face template, and the mouth corners which have been turned up slightly.
Strangely, if Antonio is extracted with SimPE to Body Shop, he will be thin instead of fat. This is also the case of Buck Grunt and Claudio Monty.
