strangetomatoAm 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![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
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.

The fact that he's pretty will play off Jaxy well too, who's supposedly not very pretty. He'll be sleazy, no doubt. Her mother and HBD have a lot of problems. I'm still trying to decide on a career for him, though. I see him as the breadwinner, but I haven't thought of the perfect job yet... slacker comes to mind, but it's not completely right... I have this idea that he's aiming to make it big, but is failing. It could be some sort of show business thing, but I'm not sure.
I find Ajay interesting enough to play, but he looks very bland to me, so I had to rough him up a bit (thus the crazy hair, which I happen to like... and he got glasses and stubble too). I wonder if fortune sims are better business owners... they roll a lot of wants for it, anyway.
