Strangetown extras: Wheezy the puppy

[strangetomato]

Remember Wheezy? He's Nervous Subject's puppy, and he's been stuck in a weird ageless state, like Peter Pan, refusing to grow up. I couldn't have him staying as a puppy in the story any longer, and I needed to show him in the next chapter, so I aged him up with InSIM.

I'm not sure what I was expecting, exactly. You can never tell with sim puppies and kittens. They all look the same.




I do know that poodle was probably the very last thing I expected.




It seems a little fancy for Nervous. Also, Wheezy is supposed to be a stray. But I suppose it does work on at least one level. Nervous would enjoy styling his hair, just like he did with the mohawk.

And clearly, Nervous loves the silly thing. I don't have the heart to switch him for a new dog now. I'll have to make it work.




And really, how could you not love this special little creature? He's so adorable.

Awwwww, who's a cute doggy? ^_^

That hair is fabulous! :P

Dude. o.O That's not a poodle, that looks like a wolf with a poodle cut! That's awesome. XD

Aww , cute poodle.

I don't mean to sound like an idiot, but your story is scripted, right? Or do you just play the game and see how it goes? :p I know, ridiculous question, but I've always been curious.

Awwww... I like him!!

And you know, I was shocked the first time I took a pet to a mirror to change its appearance. You can change practically EVERYTHING if not everything on it. Even coat color! I was suprised about that. I mean, I don't know many people (or sims either, lol) that would go to the trouble of dying their pet's fur!

I've never checked, but I wonder if anyone has created a custom pet coat pattern? Oh wouldn't that be cute to give Wheezy a mowhawk? Hee.

That is one strange looking poodle-wolf. Well, I'm glad Nervous is happy. That's all that matters. :)

You could always go to a mirror and change his coat. :) The same way you would add a coller.

*SNORT* That's awesome.

I can't really tell from the pic but is he a "full" poodle. His body looks a little fatter than a poodle (but it could just be the shadows).

You can change a pets hair accesories by using the mirror. But please don't. This is too awesome (and Nervous would futz over the dog's hair since his own isn't long enough yet).

Bwahahaha! Before I saw the pics I guessed from your "not what I expected" that he turned into a poodle, lol. It really is a pretty dog, though! Big and muscular, not like a regular poodle.

But I suppose it does work on at least one level. Nervous would enjoy styling his hair, just like he did with the mohawk.

Yeah, I think that's the only thing that might make it work. I mean maybe it's just a stray he styles like a poodle, lol. You could go as far as to substitute a black wolf for Wheezy at first, then show how Nervous styled the dog's hair into this wonderful poodle look. ;)

A poodle?? Hehe. It´s the most not-fitting dog to Nervous I can imagine... But this makes it so funny. Yes, you need to keep him!

[uber-orange.livejournal.com]

Woah. I was expecting something so much different than this!

Oh well, as long as Nervous loves him, I'm happy with it :D plus Wheezy really is adorable. Hope Nervous has fun styling Wheezy's hair!

But yeah... puppies can be so deceiving. x3 it's fun to get surprises like this.

I've had him before, the last time before I messed up my 'hood.
The funniest thing was I got him for the Grunt brothers. Military family, all guys, gave him a really macho-type name (I can't remember now what it was) and he grew up....into that. o.O So not what I was expecting.
Maybe you could find some way to style his hair differently. Nervous would certainly love that.
And he could still be a stray. Someone who didn't like poodles tossed him out when his pure bred Fifi got jumped by some mangy no-breed dog one day. After all, he really is a bit chunky for a real poodle. It could work.

The poodle is so cute! I agree with everyone though, it does look a lot like a wolf! :D

[simfulacts.livejournal.com]

AWWW! I want him! :D

[saylee.livejournal.com]

How cute! Though I have to say that I'm hugely relieved that the puppy I gave the Grunts didn't grow up like this. The shock might have been more than Buzz could take.

King of Strangetown

[ricamarcella.livejournal.com]

I came across an interesting forum that ran a game called King of Strangetown. All the Strangetown main characters from the five families appeared as a list, with 5 points beside each character name. People then logged in one by one to add 1 point to the character they liked best, and take away 1 point from the character they liked least. Whenever a character reached 0 he or she was eliminated.

Guess who's the most popular Strangetownie! Nervous! By far! He and Ophelia lasted the longest, and she trailed him by something like 70+ (Nervous) to 10-ish (Ophelia). That's a very far second. So I reckon a lot of people are going to be happy to see a Nervous + Wheezy update?

P.S. The General was the least popular character, followed by Loki, Circe, Jenny, and Olive... all the way up to Ophelia and the beloved Nervous. But I'm a bit puzzled by why people ascribe a good nature to Nervous. Given his biological parents AND his adoptive parents, how the heck did that guy turn out so sweet?!

AWWW!! Wheezy is adorable!!! :D I totally LMAO though when I saw that he's a POODLE. :D Very unexpected but he's just way too cute. :D
