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.

Aww! That's really sweet. I just love it when sims take it upon themselves to romance each other.

They're both so cute and that sweater is perfect for Buck. And that new hair do is great.

Uh oh! I wonder if Johnny planned their apartments being so close? Over protective brothers are just too cute.

I love the hair, it's the nose that takes some getting used to. Yikes. Wow. I didn't imagine it would get even bigger. (Sorry, Buck!) But aw, he's so sweet. And I love Jill's outfit! :)

I laughed so much when Buck became an adult in my legacy. My sister was watching me play, and just as he transitioned she said "What happened to that guy's nose?! Did he smash it against the wall or something?". But then again, this is the same sister who called me insane when I chose an alien sim as my heir too :P.

Personally, I like it a lot. I think it's unique and I'm so glad his daughter inherited it (and I'm hoping his future baby does too!).

Awww, there's nothing cuter than autonomous romantic interactions. The serenade one is so cheesy, but adorable. And it works with those two :D. The outfits are nice too!

Oh yeah! Get FT already ^^. Most of the bugs have been fixed somehow and the hacks have been updated too. You're gonna love the new objects.

They are a good couple and so sweet together. I hope nothing changes that.

I love Buck's nose! And you're right, it did grow lol.
When I moved my Buck to college, I literally gasped. Prior to moving him he had been swimming in the pool that my brother put into the Grunt's yard non stop and became thin. Then, he goes on to transition into a tight tank top and army pants! I was like, where did my cute little Buck go and how come he got replaced with this hottie?!

I love autonomous serenading. Know who does it all the time in my game? Tank!

I just have to say that thank God Buck managed to snag Jill early, because that nose is ridiculous. I love him to bits, but goodness - he reminds me of a bird!

He did grow up very handsome though and the nose doesn't look too bad in the last shot.

Also, Jill's outfit is fabulous, though I do miss her blonde hair, despite understanding why she dyed it green. Also I love their pink kitchen!

I'm going to be heartbroken if they don't port K&B for mac (still waiting on Celebration stuff and H&M stuff). I'd be able to get rid of a HUGE chunk of my DL folder (all the sweaters, kitchen stuff, bathrobes, etc). T_T

You should so make a Johnny watching poster. You could use the binoculars in freetime and moveObjects him in front of a window, and then put a closer window frame over *that*.

They both look great! And the serenading... *melts*

Buck is so cute!! *pinches his cheeks* And that nose! I swear it gets bigger for every story I see him in. :P You know he got that from Lyla, but on her it wasn't as bad, since females are always a bit "prettier" than their make equivalents.

Jill obviously takes heavily after her mother. The way EA did the genes is just mystifying as both Johnny and Jill inherited a lot from their mother, whereas the twins took heavily after their father, which makes more sense. Oh well, thems be genes for ya! :P

Awwwww, Buck serenading Jill!! How cute! How many bolts do they have, btw? Just curious. :)

Oh Buck, you're adorable *heartfarts*. I think both the argyle sweater and the nose suits him :) As for Jill she's prettier every time I see her - love her green hair and the H&M outfit.

They're a very sweets couple! I love them.

I can't expect for the next chapter.

D'awwwwwww, Buck is the sweetest thing in the world of sims! At first, I thought he was autonomously proposing to Jill, and I was thinking, "Sims can do that?"

I can't wait to see them in college, but most of all, I can't wait to see if how Johnny reacts to Jill and Buck in college. Does he even know about their relationship? Johnny is just the typical over-protective older brother, it'll be fun to see. :P

You're as bad as me. I was playing out the Toddler Party and had to turn off the computer lest I rush and post all the super cute pics (leaving me with nothing to use for the update). Let me just say this, Edwin Curious and Jill Pollinator at the doll house together DID give me a toothache.

Your Buck is really rotting them out, too. I love that hair (in general and on him). I forgot how large his nose is. He's so damn cute. And I love autonimous flirting. I could watch sims autonimously "kiss tenderly" all day.

The only way Buck could be cuter would be if he was autonimously rubbing his own preggo stomach. *dies and is dead from the cute*

Awww, they're so adorable together!

That outfit really is perfect for Buck. I still haven't gone in there and looked for K&B goodies, lol! I'm so bad about that!

Thank goodness they started putting the little symbol from which EP or SP the items came from in the corner or else I'd always be wondering where some things came from!

If I didn't already have cavities, I would have certainly gotten some by now! Buck makes my heart melt, I just love him to death <3

Truthfully, ever since the beginning I was rooting for Buck and Jill to get together. I guess dreams do come true? :D

I love Jill's outfit! Gosh, if I had the guts in real life, I would definitely wear that, boots and all.

So many times I have considered making Buck gay, but I can never do it because I am SUCH a Buck/Jill shipper.

And WOW. That nose. I'm so interested in seeing what kind of nose any kids of theirs would end up with, between Buck's huge schnoz and Jill's tiny alien sniffer. (Speaking of which, I really like that haircut on her. I feel like it makes her nose fit more with the rest of her face, or something.)

[identity profile] smjoshsims.livejournal.com 2008-04-24 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
I. Love. That. Sweater.

You just HAVE to make me want this EP right?

Buck and Jill are my OTP. (Tank and Frank were as well, see?! I even used the name Ripp gave him, D:, why is TANK SUCH AN ASS?! Sorry, got carried away. XP)

[identity profile] sofieamalien.livejournal.com 2008-04-24 02:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I gave my Buck a little nose job. He still has a large nose, just not that large :)

Jill looks to cool! I bet she and Buck will have tons of fun at UNI together.

So there're 3 years (6 terms or 7?) difference between Ripp/Johnny and Buck/Jill?

They're just too adorable!

I love Buck's nose, and I can't wait for my Buck to grow up so that get that nose in my game. Call me odd, but for some reason, I'm really fond of beaky or hooked noses.

[identity profile] 80sfiend.livejournal.com 2008-04-26 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
Buck's nose is gigantic!!! :D

And NOOOOOOO Jill do not swoon! STOP IT. YOU ARE FOR RIPP I TELL YOU!!!!!!!!! >:(

She looks so pretty in her jumper outfit though. :D
