How awesome is this guy?

Chester, you have risen to the challenge, my friend. I can't imagine a more worthy alien son.

It's PT No. 35. I've been getting him a lot lately (and twice with the same guy in my prosperity hood).

Some more shots...

He's ridiculously cute as a toddler.

And some glamour shots.

He's just... *squeee*

Do you know why I named him Riel? Hint: It has something to do with his father's name (and his hair colour is a hint too).

Also, his name is Riel Gieke. Real Geek. *snicker*

And here are a few outtakes (most-likely) for an upcoming chapter... (so I guess they act as spoilers as well as amusements).

An autonomous slap dance routine (Ripp started it, but the other two soon joined in). Ripp is all about the BV dances, and the hula is his favourite by far.

See?

He's also a pretty big fan of doing this instead of eating sensibly.

Outside, Johnny and Phi are using ACR to the fullest. It was all initiated by Phi, by the way. She knows what she likes. ;)

I've been scarce lately, I know. That's a combination of a self-imposed break from livejournal (aka gettin' off the crack), being really busy at work, and actually wanting to play the game during my off hours instead of posting/commenting. I'll be out of town for Thanksgiving this weekend (going to see the 'rents! Wooo!), so I doubt the next update will surface until after then. It's coming along, but not that quickly. It will happen next week, though, for sure.

I'm thinking about and working on some side-projects too. I'm feeling a little weird and tangential right now.

Hehe, it's funny that Ripp loves initiating vacation dances. The General in my game is in LOVE with slap dancing. He does it ALL. THE. TIME.

Riel is adorable. Why didn't he get the alien eye color (though, I love big ole anime eyes, too. They're so cute.) I'm just curious, since they're usually pretty dominant, right?

I LOVE HIS OUTFIT, TOO. I don't know where it's from, but I'm guessing MTS2? Maxis Dreams? I'll look around.

I've been getting PT#35 often as well. I used to get the redheaded one(#14?) all the time, now it's PT#35's turn.

I think with Maxis eyes/default replacements, the dark blue is = to the alien as far as dominance. That's why Pascal Curious can throw a dark blue-eyed alien about half the time. :D It seems dark blue is also = to brown, because out of a Bella Goth/Pascal Curious mating once I had two brown eyed children and two dark blue eyed children.

That's exactly right. The eye genetics are pretty simple. Dark blue, brown, and alien eyes are all equally dominant, and green, light blue, and grey are all equally recessive. The same is true of the hair, with brown and black being equal, and blond and red being equal (I've heard arguments about red being more recessive, but I don't think that's true).

Pascal and Bella, huh? ;) They have good chemistry, don't they? Even without secondary aspirations, they had bolts in my game, and that's very impressive for knowledge and romance. They must have compatible zodiac signs, or something.

They do have good chemistry for a Knowledge and Romance. I was able to get them up to 2 bolts (which is as much as you could have hoped for prior to Free Time, lol!)

She's a Cancer, and he's a Scorpio, and those are pretty compatible signs. It's not *the* most compatible (the most compatible with a Scorpio is a Pisces) but it's very close.

They were so fun together. I did it when someone on TSR posted she had gotten Bella as a blind date for Pascal when he only paid, like, $200 bucks or something and how they ended up being such a good couple. I had to try it out for myself. ;) And it's very true. Probably one of the most devoted sim couples I've ever had.

(Which is why I get so giggly when I see them together in your story. :D :D :D :D) Teehee.

Oh, btw, see if you can find my simsecret tonight. If they post it, that is. ;)

It's by fanseelamb at MTS2.

What would male sims do without fanseelamb? I just wish she made more stuff. Way more (though my downloads folder will hate me).

I love fanseelamb way too much. Almost everything I have a guy wear (out of what I post online) ends up being from her! And I really get a kick out of seeing her Rufus Wainwright sim in almost every one of the pictures modeling clothes- sort of like where's Waldo. :P

Yeah, I love seeing Rufus there too. (But why even make a Rufus sim when you have Frances there already? Now I feel like downloading the Rufus sim to have them meet each other. :P)

I definitely have thought of doing the same thing. XD

Heheh. Like father, like son? The General has an odd personality. He's a lot like Tank in some ways, but he has that super outgoing side too (and he's mean). Ripp is the only son to inherit the General's boldness. It's funny, because that's something that would serve you well in the military, I think, and Tank doesn't really have it.

You can end up with normal sim eyes if the parent has dark blue or brown eyes, and then it's a 50% chance. Dark blue, brown, and alien eyes are all equally dominant. If the parent has a recessive eye colour, the alien eyes will always show. Riel's kids might have alien eyes, though, since that's definitely his recessive gene now.

His outfit comes from here:

I love fanseelamb so much for all the mesh conversions with the H&M jeans. They really are the only sensible male bottoms in the game.

I get No. 14 a lot too. Those PTs are working overtime. I've had the one with black hair (88?) once, with Jayne, and I've never had 56. He's just a lazy-ass pollinator, I guess. Or did he create Cosmo Broke, and retire after a job well done? :P

Yep, unfortunately 56 retired after he created Cosmo.

Last time I checked he had became part of the witness protection program and got some plastic surgery and dyed his hair red for some strange reason. I've heard rumors that he then became a manwhore, but has since retired from that job too. There have been sightings of the alien formerly known as PT 56 in the desert, where he has blond hair and is currently living with two amazing guys. :P

Hehehe, so cute. I love it.

I'm glad you thought it was cute but I'm just stating the facts here. As his representative, the whereabouts of ~~Albert~~ the former PT 56 are safe with me!

...And uh,

madame_ugly I guess. XD

That's a really interesting thought. Makes a lot of sense. I never really though the military was "right" for Tank for some reason, he thinks it's right for him, since it's all he knows, but I always thought he could do something else. I DON'T KNOW. XD

I never knew that. I just realized now that all my sims that have been abducted have had recessive genetics, so I've always thought the alien genes were dominant.

Ah, thank youuuuuuuuuu! I noticed Maxis Dreams had some cute outfits using H&M textures. I love them.

Cosmo Broke is one awesome sim, he must have thought his work was done. "I've created a masterpiece. No need for this anymore.. *tucks in probe*" I've gotten #56 once, with Brady Piper. I also got #88 with Vidcund's daughter. I think I have a picture of her. YES I DO. She was adorable! I constantly get the other two. They must be running out of pollen or something. XD
