Extras: Funny happenings in Strangetown

[strangetomato]

 

 

I was playing in Strangetown recently, trying to do some housekeeping after my downloads folder editing, in preparation for the upcoming chapter. I'm really looking forward to getting back there after what seems like forever, with my extremely slow updating and the side story to Veronaville (which I'm glad I did, but I'm looking forward to getting back to S'town).

There was one serious victim of the download purge...




Oh dear. Has Pascal decided to join the military? What about their decidedly anti-alien bent?

Pascal got his hair back promptly, so no harm, no foul.




Typical.

Chloe likes girls and Ripp likes Chloe. Or is that Ripp likes Chloe liking girls? I'm sure it doesn't hurt.

I was playing with Chloe's restaurant and bar, Oasis, and I actually got it up to level six, which is amazing for me. Restaurants are difficult to play! I did have one snag where my hired chef would not be assigned to the stove. It didn't matter that much because Chloe is a celebrity chef and all, but it's still annoying. I wonder what's causing it. I've been paring down my hacks, too, so it seems unlikely that it's a conflict. Then again, I don't play fully-staffed restaurants too often.

Oasis is a laugh to play. I have Bella Goth and Genesis Lam as bartenders! XD




Speaking of hacks, I took out the one that stops the BV interactions entirely, because I was playing a vacation and my sims couldn't even learn the gestures because nobody would do them! The result is what you see before you. Ripp wasn't on the lot for five minutes before he started up a lusty sea chanty and had everyone joining in! Then again, and again, and again. He had a bit of a one-track mind, and not about what it's usually focused on.

I have the feeling this is going to spread around Strangetown and the subhoods like wildfire. I like the BV actions, but maybe I ought to find a hack that just reduces them a little. They're way too appealing to sims by default. It's all they do!




Sugar Tits made a point of telling me that she still thinks Pascal is hot, even with the tragic haircut (with detached sideburns!).

If I were Pascal, I wouldn't let it swell my ego too, too much. It's not all that difficult to turn Sugar Tits's crank, as it were...




See? She's liking Johnny's moves, too.

Also, Tai Chi is really big right now. Sadly, I noticed that sims don't seem to gain any body skill when they do that, but they gain fitness enthusiasm. That doesn't make much sense.




Tits also thinks Circe is one hot momma.




And PT's still got it. XD

I don't think there's anyone that Tits doesn't find attractive, frankly. She's one out of control romance sim.



I hope everyone is having a good weekend!

Pascal wouldn't look so bad if that outfit weren't so OOC. And the sideburns. Ohh, those sideburns X(

As for the BV gestures — I just realized I'd never seen them in the game! Maybe one of these days I'll have more time just for messing around and I can send my Sims on vacation.

I don't think his outfit is so out of character. It's his new work outfit. If i recall correctly, he's now a paranormal investigator, or working up to become one.

But yeah, detached sideburns is never a good look. XD

I really like the tai chi and the sea shanty, but they're a little too persistent at the moment. It's worth taking your sims on vacation. It really does change how you're playing the game for a while, with less focus on skill gaining and promotions and all that.

Oh! My bad. I was thinking he got that after his old outfit had been deleted ... when I didn't even think to think about whether his old outfit was CC or not. So yeah, it's not.

Well, his default outfit did get replaced, now that you mention that. He was showing up with this outfit in red, since I have a default for it. It's not really such a bad choice for those outfits, since they show up on him and Nervous and the are in the desert and all.

Heheh. Not to be confused with them being in the dessert, of course! :P
