Strangetown extras: Off to college we go!

You'll get to see Jill and Buck in university in the next chapter, but I just got them set up there tonight, and I wanted to share a couple of pics right away. I thought I had enough willpower to keep it to myself until the update, but that sort of evaporated when the cutest thing happened autonomously, so you get a sneak preview.






That's right. The fish came too. *grin*

Buck got himself a flattering new haircut (or did he cut it himself?), and he's wearing one of my other favourite things about Kitchen and Bath: the argyle sweater! I have so much love for that outfit, and it's perfect for Buck. Just perfect.

The apartment that I picked just happened to be the perfect shade of purple to match Buck's stuff too. He loves it.




And here's Jill. I think she grew up cute. She's completed her funky new look with a striped jumper-type dress (with more green, of course) and some cool boots.




Hey, I can see Johnny, Ripp and Ophelia's apartment through the window! I can even kind of see that llama crossing road sign on the wall. That's a pretty high level of detail.




And this is what I just had to share with you: autonomous serenading! *heart melts* Buck is just too sweet. He gives me cavities.

I don't mind the nose passing on. I want all of the Grunt noses to pass on to children. It's nice to have a family trait that's easy to spot like that. Johnny's nose is another one. It would be easy to know he was the father, if the kids gets his nose.

Yeah, Ripp isn't cool with goosing that doesn't involve him. Maybe that's his problem. I don't think I've seen Ripp do the shocked thing much, though. Johnny does it immediately when someone naked shows up. That's probably part of the reason that I felt he was a little prudish (and also just his more serious nature).

I like Jill and Buck together too. I'm not completely sure what will happen with them, but you know that they will always be friends, at the very least. (And we couldn't leave the fish behind, now, could we?)

Actually, Vidcund passes on his nose very well, too. His alien son, Scott has his nose, hands down. And I think Colin, his other son, may have it also. I don't mind the beak-y noses too much really. I prefer them over the ones that look like they could give persian cats a run for their money!

Both of Vidcund's twins in my game have his nose, which is exciting. It means they'll look like their cousin, Johnny, as well as their father.

I greatly prefer too much nose to not enough nose, especially on a male.

Pixel has Vidcund's nose, too.

Co-signed!!

...when someone naked shows up.

Why does this never happen in real life. >:/

The Johnny/Vidcund nose is cute and upturned on a girl, isn't it? I've actually used a cloned Johnny to make a lot of pretty female sims in CAS. Now, the distance between Johnny's nose and lips is a little less appealing on a woman. *snicker* That's one of his more alien features, isn't it?

I know. Nobody ever just runs into my house completely naked. It's just not fair. :P
