Legacy Save: Grunt (Patreon)

(Reminder: The "Sim Attributes" section includes options from a mod that sets skills and careers in CAS. Likes = higher, Dislikes = lower. These parts are not part of the sim's personality.)

General Buzz Grunt is an overbearing, strict father- to his son Ripp. To his son Tank, who has taken after him, he's a bit more lenient- because Tank does everything right, by virtue of being like his father. His youngest, Buck, is...lost in the chaos of a home where nobody really gets along, and the only thing they could all agree on has left their lives physically and spiritually, as the matriarch has had enough of her husband and left him, only to die mysteriously soon after. With an Alien Threat obviously taking over the town, Buzz has gone all-in on anti-occult racism. This pushed away his wife, and is pushing away two of his sons, one of whom is dating an Alien and trying to clear his species' name. Is there any hope for any of their relationships besides Ripp and Buck?

Some of this family's special details:

-Ripp is polyamorous and pansexual, and dating Johnny Smith and Ophelia Nigmos.

-Buzz hates Batuu music.

-Ripp and Tank have a contentious relationship, but Ripp and Buck are fine. Buck and Tank are...okay. All the boys love Lyla, but Buzz is decidedly favoritizing Tank over everyone else.

-Ripp and Tank's room used to be one room. They are divided by a makeshift sheet metal wall.

-I actually forgot to do this until just now, but there's implications of a recently deceased pet. Buzz has level 4 pet training skill but no animal to be seen, yet there's some animal objects around the house.

-Depending on how the game handles this as I continue to edit the save, Buzz may have Anger Grief from being divorced.

-The following are actually EA details as this family is based on the EA gallery version- Ripp is a C student, Tank is a B student, and Buck is an A student! A few members also have aspiration and even scenario traits. I, uh, did not know Sims unlocked traits from scenarios.

-Ripp has an injury on his left hand in every outfit. He told the counselor at school it was from playing guitar. It was, technically. But it was more the result of playing guitar. Draw your own conclusions on what that means. The dressing is not well kept. It was not put there by a doctor, but by someone who maybe wanted to avoid involving one.

-Ripp and Johnny are wearing different swatches of the same pants. Both have writing on them, and so do Ripp's shoes. They drew and wrote notes on each other's clothes.
