strangetomato | Missing: Tank's scar. Reward offered to anyone who can find it.

I'm not sure how I managed to do this, but Tank's scar is missing. I think it might have been deleted in a custom content purge of some sort. I did delete the entire glasses/accessories folder, due to an issue that I was having (and I just had a lot of useless junk in it), so maybe it was in there. When I opened up Worthington's lot, Tank no longer had the scar, and oddly, he was wearing the General's face paint again. I don't have time to worry about what that behavior might mean (besides the fact that Frances ought to stay away from Tank for today), because I need to find that scar. A search on MTS2 found nothing, and I was sure that was where it came from. Now I'm worried that I found it in some remote corner of the internet and I'll never find it again. If you can tell me where this might have come from, I would greatly appreciate it.

(Oh, and there are some bonus funny pics. Just 'cause.)

Any ideas? I know that I had a matching one that was for the chin too, which is also missing. They're very simple looking, as you can see here.

Ripp: Have you checked the garbage? Sometimes Nervous puts random things in the garbage for no reason. He's pretty fucking weird like that.

Me: No, Ripp, I hadn't thought of that. (I wonder why?) But it seems like you're going to check it out for me...

Me: Did you find anything?

Ripp: Yeah... looks like I found something really good.

Me: Ummm... Did you just EAT something from the garbage, Ripp?

Ripp: What?! Yeah. It was still good! What's wrong with that?!

Me: That's just nasty, Ripp.

See? I need help. These sims are just not helping me.

ETA: It has been located! Thanks

ndainye!

It would be fun to see them old, but I'm just nervous that they'll give them a story that seems way off to me. I just love how it's not a set story right now, and we all play them differently, and develop the characters in our own way. The chances of me being satisfied with the "offical" story that Sims 3 might present for Strangetown is very slim. Yes, it would be interesting to see what EA/Maxis thinks would happen, but I'll bet it won't be half as interesting as most of the things I've seen players do (and not nearly as strange). I fear it because I don't want to be the sore loser who is left whining, "But they just don't LOVE them the way I do!" If it happens, I'll just have to accept it (and then maybe re-create my own version of how things happened).

If they did include a future Strangetown in Sims 3, I really wonder if they would dare to include things like Nervous Subject and Pascal Curious as a couple, since it seems so implied by the game, and the VAST majority of players seem to pair them off. Do they actually have to balls to include a gay couple that is more than just implied? I wonder about these things...

That's one thing I hope doesn't happen either, so you won't be the only sore loser. And I doubt that Pascal and Nervous would become a couple... It's a game that is supposed to appeal to the masses, after all. :(

I agree. I know it will never happen, but that doesn't mean I can't dream. *imagines a world that is less riddled with heterosexism and smiles* I can, and will, continue to dream.

As will I! The world would be a lot more happy and peaceful place if everybody would just accept everybody else no matter their sexual preference.

One day, I would love it to be a non-issue. And to just see more mention of differences in sexualities in everyday conversation (and in the media). I resent the default assumption that everyone is hetero, and you see it everywhere. Why should we talk like it doesn't even exist?

And yes, I do spend some time "correcting" these errors when I see them. I probably bug the hell out of people, but sometimes I can't even watch commercials without pointing this stuff out.

For the game, I know that they have to consider points of view that are opposed to the idea of homosexuality, since they want to sell to everyone, but it still seems like a weak excuse to me. Acknowledging the existence of gay sims (and thus simulating life) is different from promoting the lifestyle. I know that some people would argue with that, but do they believe that gay people don't really exist, despite the evidence? (Well, I know that one opposing point of view is that it is entirely a choice, so I guess it comes back to that, as wrong as that assumption may be.)

I think they could do it. They've included other things that are considered offensive to some groups. I know it's a fine line, and I should be happy that they included the ability to do it at all, but there's always that dream...

*steps off soapbox*
