Strangetown extras: Ripp is obsessed with his own mortality

[strangetomato]

Now, I know that I've been known to InSIM Ripp into a variety of ailments, and I've even killed him a couple of times to get the shots I needed for the story, but is that any reason for him to become fixated on death? I'm starting to worry about his mental health, just a little. Check out the fear that he rolled during a recent session at the Grunt house...

Hmmm. Does this happen often? I've never seen it before. I mean, it seems reasonable to fear your own death, and maybe a little obvious, but does Ripp have some reason to think that he might actually die? Is it because of the recent trend of deaths in the Grunt family? This doesn't seem very healthy to me.

The other wants/fears are typical. He's been fairly obsessed with becoming friends with both Frances and Nervous, based on his recent interactions with them, and he always rolls wants to flirt with people (that one is a cheerleader - a favourite booty call of his), and to buy various instruments. The only typical want that's missing is "woohoo in bed". Yeah, it's always there and it's always "in bed" (I think he just likes to pass out afterwards, since he's so awesomely lazy). Also, Ripp's not really a freshman. He's a senior. (InSIMing is to blame again.) Don't get the idea that they'll never, ever graduate from LFT. *snicker* I may be slow, but I'm not THAT slow.

Anyway, I thought that it was pretty amusing, so I thought I'd share.

Like another comment noted, "he's on to you."

"Please don't off me AGAIN. It's giving me nightmares!"

Totally. It's like he has a memory of those deaths, even though I didn't save. Those sims are smarter than we think they are. (I wonder is this anything like the plot of that Sims movie they were making?)

*snort* That sims movie.

I doubt it would be even half as interesting as the few off-hand comments about "they know" that are posted here.

Do you know when that movie was supposed to be released? It's one of those things that I will probably have to make myself watch, just out of curiosity, but then I will find myself overwhelmed by how bad it was.

I assumed it withered on the vine. I haven't heard anything about it since that post in the sims 2 community.

I'd watch it too, just for the what the hell factor (but I'd rent it, I couldn't go to the theater, too expensive and "shameful").

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Oh, really? I guess they might have realized that the concept has already been done a number of times in other movies.

I would have watched it on video too. (No wait... I'd get out my plumbob headgear and go to the theatre! Simmer pride! *snicker*)

*SNORT* But as soon as your fun meter got full, you'd get up from your seat and stand next to someone, hoping they'd go outside and play catch with you.

Or you'd wander behind the counter of the snack bar and set soemthing on fire.

According to the good old IMDB, it's slated for sometime next year. Maybe. I'm just honestly hoping that they make all the actors speak Simlish and show it with subtitles.

And I'm iffy on the subtitles. I think I've pretty much figured out what they're talking about so....
