TV Tropes, here we come.

Hey, check it out. Frances is a Woobie!

The entry on TV Tropes.org:

This troper finds Frances J. Worthington III from the Sims 2 story Strangetown,Here We Come to be the epitome of woobie. Especially when he is rejected by his crush Tank Grunt, who he had secretly been pining over for months, and has a huge emotional breakdown. 

• It's even worse because of his eyebrows (Okay, so he's Maxis made- but the author puts them to good use!) which make him look perpetually sad.

The part about being rejected by Tank was even hidden as a spoiler that you had to highlight to read! Heehee. How exciting. I've only recently discovered this site (I know, I know...), and I cannot express how honoured I am to have S,HWC included there as an example of a trope (under "web originals"). *beams*

They called poor Franny out pretty well, I think. Not only does shit routinely hit his fan, but he's a pretty hardcore brooder in general, even when things are going pretty well for him. He's all about the self pity. And I must admit that he has one or two major Woobie moments yet to come...

*cues ominous music*

Sims 3: Story progression

You know one of the things I like about Sims 3 so far? Story progression.
 

You know what I don't like? Having sims inherit their parent's hairstyle as well as the colour (though it's sort of cool when they have a specific texture, but not so much when it's the length). If you've used the hair as a clue, you'd be right in guessing that this is Strange's daughter. I stopped playing her after I went on a JRO breeding spree and I noticed one day that she had spawned another larval baby, but since this was before the awesome mod, I assumed it was just a copy of her.

Not so.

Old man Ripp eventually got a call to notify him of Strange's imminent death (yeah, it was a little odd to read that, I admit), so I sent him to visit. First I had to find the house, because she moved to a big mansion. It also turns out she's in a relationship with Franny (yes, my half-assed attempt) and Deena Tomato is their daughter. A second glance at the brows and eyes and it's obvious. I had dropped Franny on her lot because he couldn't afford any of the available lots, so I guess they hit it off. Colour me amused.
