Strangetown extras: Off to college we go!

[strangetomato]

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.

Ripp often does that little "YES!!" fist pump for most romantic socials. He's funny like that. I don't think I've ever seen him whine about delivering a goose, but I'll keep my eyes open.

Lazlo's not nice. He's dead even in that category. Neither nice nor grouchy. (And, other than that, he and Ripp have very similar personalities.) The cheer comes from the outgoing, I think. That's why they both do it.

I'd say the embarrassment only applies to those with 8 points and above. That's often the cut off point for those things.

Yeah, Ripp doesn't whine every time I tell him to goose, but he does do it. Makes me giggle because he'll do it on his own all the time but then complain when I tell him to, lol!

You're absolutely right about Laz... he's dead even. I guess I always considered sims to be "nice" when they didn't wave their arms over their heads yelling "Hey dopey!" when they wanted something, lol! But yes, he's neither one nor the other.

Buck on the other hand... doesn't he have, like 9 or 10 nice points? I'll have to check again next time I'm in my game. I know he's waaaay up there with it! So cute.

Silly whining sims. I've noticed that about Ripp too. Ripp whines about a lot of things, and I just think it's so cute.

Me: Clean the toilet, Ripp.

Ripp: But WHY?!!! I don't wanna! *grumbles and takes 2 hours to do it*

And, on the other hand...

Me: Clean the toilet, Buck.

Buck: YEESSSSS!!! *fun level skyrockets*

Buck is like Mr. Clean.

Buck does have 10 nice points, and 10 neat points too. Also, I think 10 serious, and the other two categories are 4 for shy and 6 for active (just off the top of my head... you can check in my character profile tag). So extreme, but in the sweetest way. I think that makes him the perfect family sim by design.

Johnny, also, is super high in niceness. He has 9 nice points (and yet he doesn't cry when pushed... he usually fights back, which is a little odd).
