Strangetown Extras: Vali Beaker

[strangetomato]

I'm preparing my game to install Free Time. That means removing all traces of InSIM for now (I leave those objects all over the place, so this was quite a task), and checking in with each household to make sure that everything is okay before I install the new EPs (yeah, I'm adding Bon Voyage too - goin' right crazy, I am). I'm also going to extract all the new character files from the game, just in case. Since babies don't show up in CAS, I thought it would be best to age up Vali Beaker. Are you ready for this? Yes?

Who's that pleasant looking little fellow?




Why it's Vali Beaker, son of Circe and Loki. No paternity test required here. That's definitely Loki's son (he has Circe's nose, though).




Did I say pleasant? I meant vicious. The personality stats say it all:

sloppy/neat: 10
shy/outgoing: 9
lazy/active: 8
serious/playful: 0
grouchy/nice: 0




After he works the puzzle piece in with his ingenuity and brute force, he contemplates further world domination.

Yeah, I'd say this is one guy to watch out for.

Loki and Circe had two kids just like that in one of my games. They looked blatantly evil and had shit personalities to boot. BUT those two kids were actually triplets (trip/quad hack) and the third kid looked nothing like Loki (tan skin, red hair, Circe's face). He was also incredibly sweet and eventually became a fat old grandpa after marrying Jill Smith's kid.

I love this genetic combination for Vali. With his blond hair and golden skin, he should be quite handsome in that surfer boy sort of way (ignoring his frightening eyebrows *snicker*). I love red hair, but red hair with the darker skin tones really annoys me. I know that sim world tries to ignore details that would indicate race, and it adds interesting genetic possibilities, but it still just looks wrong to me.

It's hard not to get the shit personalities, given the parents. They have no nice points to pass down. If you get a nice kid, it would be one of those random things where sim kids get an extreme in one category that is different form their parents. I was waiting to see if that would happen, and if it had, I would use it to shape his character differently.... but he's just a chip off the ol' block.
