The Grunts get a make over

For reason I cannot fathom, of why I would play the Grunt family over other sims families, despite the general's poor reputation in Strangetown.


I felt like the Grunt deserved to be saved by the dudes form "Queer eye for the straight guy". But of course, "Queer eye for the SIM guy" is non-existent, so, i volunteered to give the Grunts a makeover.

First of all, the General(a.k.a. Buzz Grunt), needed a real change. From treating his children a bit too much, to having the desire to pwning the entire strangetown. Already, Buzz has gotten into a fight with nearly ever single man in Strangetown; the Entire Curious brothers, Loki the mad scientist, and yes, Pollination Technician #9 whom is the only one the General lost a fight in. And ever since, is brutal enemies with the now retired alien.

The oldest son, Tank, needed something too. Whilst not as grouchy as his father, he is already getting somewhat "brainwashed" to the general's military tactics. And yes, a poor relationship with his brother, Ripp.

As for Ripp, my favorite sim in the entire game, also needed a little something as well. Out of all the three sons, Ripp is the only one with a job, being a gas station attendant, I felt like Ripp deserved a bit more than just hanging out at the pumps.

Whilst Buck is more or less lazy, like his brother Ripp. But noticing closely on Buck's health, he actually overweight, unlike Ripp who was quite slim.

Conclusion? Definitely worthy for a change of my hands....

First, the General's personality has been altered. Made him much nicer and more playful. But still with his title as the general. No change in clothes. His exterior looks remains the same.

Another change is that General Buzz Adopted 2 orphans who have an interest in the military, apparantly, they were girls named Ellie, and Claire.

Tank went for hardcore makeover. Well, got rid of his face paint. But, he tended to copycat Ripp. From buzzcut to long hair. So, as a result, Ripp and Tank look like identical twins(except for Tank who has a taller face). They wear the same clothes as seen. Black Pixar Cars T-shirts underneath with white short sleeved shirts over them. To confess, I'm a huge fan of that animation movie!

I also decided to give Buck a workout(why didn't the General do soemthing in the first place?). I had Ripp coach him on the treadmill and the weights. No obstacle course just yet...

The general has also adopted 2 girls, Ellie and Claire, who had a interest in joining the military. They need a foster home and a guaridan, and despite Genereal Buzz had to change a lot of his personality, he still fit the bill.

What's left, gotta see how the Grunts will live their new life!
