Strangetown Extras: Mr. Doe and the worst mpreg ever





Meet Arthur Doe:





Cute little guy, isn't he?

His stats (if I recall correctly) were something like this:

neat: 10
outgoing: 8
lazy: 2
serious: 4
nice: 10

Those are very close to Jayne's personality stats.

If you know why I called him Arthur, I'll give you a prize. No, really, I'll give you a prize. It's very much connected to Mr. Doe, but it's pretty obscure.

This was much better than my first attempt to have him give birth...



There was a little clone baby problem.

I have no idea what happened, but somewhere along the way with everything that's happened with restoring backups and adding new EPs (while Mr. Doe was still pregnant), the PT files were no longer linked to the pregnancy.

I chose to cancel it with InSIM, and just get him abducted again. The baby needed green skin.




Mr. Doe had a parade of familiar faces at his place while I was playing him. I think it was somehow connected to a wish from the genie for beauty, which supposedly makes people of your preferred sex show up at your door. In Mr. Doe's case, that would be everybody (yet somehow also nobody). 




The college kids all showed up like clockwork. I think it was Phi first, then Tank, then Ripp, then Johnny... they just kept coming.




Oh, and how could I forget Circe. :P She's always out visiting her neighbours.

Here she is trying to cheat at chess against Tank.




But he caught her.




Yikes! Tank Grunt does NOT appeciate that sort of underhanded tactic.

(Could this be foreshadowing?)




Ripp was trash-talking some townies who were playing hacky sack. You don't often see him give mean reactions, so I thought it was funny.






Why does he have to be so cute?




Then Mr. Doe got pwned by lightning. It's a good thing he's in perma-platinum, and was keeping his needs up.




It happened when he went to greet Pascal, who then decided it was too late to hang out, and left WITHOUT EVEN SEEING IF HE WAS OKAY! That's pretty cold, Pascal.




So sad.




Is there anything more pitiful than a pregnant man that just got fried by lightning?




Never one to miss a male give birth, Nervous showed up, and Lazlo dropped by too.




Finally... the kid is out of his manwomb and he's actually green this time.

Nervous and Lazlo hung out all day and took turns eating out of the garbage. *snicker*






Then Lazlo took a nap in the tent, and Nervous spent HOURS getting in to chat with Lazlo, then turning right around, getting out, and complaining about how stinky Lazlo was.




Then he realized that he stinks too. What a genius.




This stylish edlerly woman made one valiant effort to bed Mr. Doe, and got him down to his undies, but he didn't go through with the deed. Even with ACR and the beauty wish that makes him have triple bolts with everyone, he's still celibate. Go figure.

Yes, he's an elder now, with two kids under his belt, and he hasn't had his first woohoo. He rolled the want to just woohoo out of nowhere too, and he's a knowledge sim with a fortune secondary. I think he's getting desperate.




Oh, and he turned into a plantsim too. The fun never stops.




He was still a plantsim when he transitioned to elder (so don't expect to see that one in the story). I love the burst of leaves.

Since I was curious, here's what Arthur will look like as an adult:






I think he's pretty cute. :)

He's a lot like Mr. Doe. The only significant features from the PT were the chin and the nose. It was the redheaded PT too, so he has nice recessives (red hair and grey eyes). I wish Jayne had recessives, but her "father" was the PT with black hair.

Anyway, Mr. Doe is no longer preggers! Now he's just an old man instead. And a plant.



Oh, and about the fail macro... do you think that one is better than Cassandra's missing face? I'm not sure which one I like better.

Arthur is so cute! *squees* Is he going to be seen in the story a bit? Like Jayne going home to meet her new little brother?

I always love it when other characters show up on a lot when you don't control them. Tank and Circe playing chess, tee hee hee!

I played this knowledge sim once, and he had two alien babies, and never ever got laid. He seemed okay with it. Occasionally, a want to flirt would should up, but as long as he was skilling, he was happy. :P Mr. Doe could always try the matchmaker! :D

WAH, CUTE!

I like this one better than Cassie-no-face, I think.

Aw, poor John Doe. He lead a pretty shitty life. XD

Wow, I John has some really dominant features, whenever my sims get abducted they almost ALWAYS get the big eyes.

I like this macro better!

Then he realized that he stinks too. What a genius.

Heeee, I love Nervous. So much. What [livejournal.com profile] music_simbol said. I love it when sims randomly do guest star appearances in a neighborhood. In my strangetown hair salon, I always get random Strangetown sims in there and it's hilarious. I had Circe in there once and all she did was stand there and scowl and scowl and scowl and scowl.

Poor Mr. Doe! Not only did his pregnancy (errr... pregnancies) lasted forever, he also got pwned by lighting! Arthur is adorable (hee, and he could be Helena's half bro too).

This is pretty immature, but those pics of Ripp being "mean" make him look as if he were trying to poop :D. That's exactly the same face my students did when I was potty training them at school.

Hmmm... from your pics it seems like Lazlo is going back to his old self, right? I guess things with Crystal didn't work out very well.

Oh, Art's a cutie!

And poor Mr. Doe! So much drama! So little sex! It's like the game thinks he's really Moz!

Hmm... does low aspiration really affect whether the sim dies when struck by lightning?

[identity profile] simnovoris.livejournal.com 2008-09-15 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
Ahaha, poor dear. :)

I love that knowledge sims are all "weeeeell, there's no outlet so there's NO NEED, DAMN IT." Much more dignified than romance sims constant need for physical intimacy. They're just dogs. :)

I nagged my fiancé into trying the Sims last night and he kept failing at everything (the single mother lost her son to military school, I've never had that happen) and poor Greta had such low needs all the time. I caught him hissing "social service took your child, your home looks like a pile of garbage, you haven't eaten since yesterday and you still want to woohoo?! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU??"

I wish I knew why Ripp was so cute; it seems like he's cuter with every picture you post of him. Alien baby Doe is also really cute. I always want to squish and love all the green babies in the game.

Not sure which fail macro to go with though since they're both LOL-worthy.

The prenatal fail beats the face fail, at least for me. I've seen blue face before, but NEVER a preg man zapped by lightning.

"never one to miss a male give birth" *snort* He is always there for the harvest of manwomb fruit. Silly Nervous.

So you can put the tent on a home lot? Yeah, that makes me want BV a little more. Kids could have slumber parties!

OMG, the poor baby! Glad he survived the mess. And he´s cute!

Poor Mr.Doe. He's not having a very good day...week...year...life!
At least he survived the experience.
It's funny how sometimes you run across a sim (or family) that never seems to catch a break.

I think both the macos are pretty good.
Arthur's pretty cute and he grows up well, too.
Even with ACR he didn't want to woohoo? Boy, talk about playing hard to get! It's not supposed to be impossible to get! :)

Arthur is adorable.

So THAT's why I kept getting college kids show up and ring the doorbell in my house! I kept wondering if it was a glitch of some kind, but I didn't see it anywhere..

Is Mr. Doe ever going to get any?

I love when you share things that happens in your game. I was curious if a plantsim could become an elder. Well now I know! Can they still make baby palnts?

[identity profile] 80sfiend.livejournal.com 2008-09-17 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Aww he's so cute!!! :D

Also the other stuff is awesome. :)

I like this macro better actually. :)

how do you get a plantsim? i have been playing the sims for a long long time and there are so many tricks i don't know.
