Hot Blond Downtownie

[strangetomato]

Am I the only simmer who doesn't like the Hot Blonde Downtownie? His "pretty" genes don't really do it for me, because I don't think template No. 1 looks good on male sims, and he's so poorly styled. Well, the shaggy hair isn't so bad, but the giant green glasses and the "Look Ma, I grew it myself!" teenaged goatee? Yeah, not really doing anything for me.

He's the focus of the new sim_mania challenge, which I'll be watching with interest. If anyone actually makes him look good to me, I'll definitely vote for them. I'll probably campaign on their behalf, in fact. But really... good luck with that. He's the reason chin beards were invented. *shudder*

I'm sure most of you will disagree with me, and you're welcome to it, but the HBD just bugs the shit out of me, so I had to vent a little. (I have to say that or you might think I'm better than you, or something.)

The timing of this challenge is funny, because I just made him playable to act as a minor character in my story. Yeah, HBD gets the plum role of Jaxy's mother's live-in boyfriend. It's not the sort of character he usually plays in legacies and such, but he wanted to expand his repertoire, since Sperm Donor No. 1 only gets you so far on your acting résumé. And he looks the part too. This will be his gritty, breakthrough role on his way to becoming the next indie film poster boy.

It's funny because as soon as I read the words "hot blond downtownie" I knew exactly who you meant. He weaseled his way into my sims' gene pool too.

He's a breeder of choice, and I can see why. You're not getting anything extreme there, so your founders genes will shine through (and you won't be stuck with a Sandy Bruty mouth). He also has recessive genes, which I'm sure adds to his appeal.

He's pretty overplayed. I feel like taking him down a notch. I think he can handle it. ;)

lol Before this post, I had no clue that he was so popular. *shrugs*
I've only had one kid with him so far (the mother was Meadow Thayler, to give you an idea) and I'm a little worried about what she's going to turn out like. Currently, she bares a striking resemblance to Mick Jagger. But not young, unconventionally cute Mick Jagger. Old Mick Jagger.

Oh man... I need to see a pic of the old Mick Jagger sim. You simply must show me. :D

He sounds awesome.
