#ripp vandermorgan

[beikonsims]

The rest of the Sunday went on without any big events. Ripp was just mostly running around the house in his undies, further destroying the sofa after already defiling it several times and just enjoying his life.

He even joined Rick in a few video games and definitely wasn't a sore loser.

Ripp: Your mother is a llama!

Rick: And your father married her so what does it make him?!

Ripp: Heh. I love you.

The week with the Contrary Vandermorgans ended in a very unsurprising way, with the two idiot husbands messing around in bed. Already thinking what kind of chaos they could bring to this boring neighbourhood.

Next week at the Caliente condo, with another chaotic duo of Diego and Chloe.

StrangeSpot, Round Thirteen: Vandermorgan

River didn’t get the memo about coordinated overalls for boys night. They still look fierce though.

Naenae expresses her desire to join the Strangetown PD - once the baby is born and she feels ready to rejoin the workforce, of course. Buck wants to be a full time dad so the arrangement will ultimately work out for them; his inner child just balks a little at the thought of law enforcement making her a different person. This intrusive thought brought to you by General Buzz Grunt...

Baby Taron is born and cool uncle Ripp is the first on the scene. All he has to do is be a well-adjusted influence and not totally mess with this kid’s head!...Yeah, the General did a number on these lads...

round 3: LFT

[vivalasimming]

Tank and Ripp continued feuding even after Ripp went to college to escape his father and brother, changing his surname to Vandermorgan in the process. Here they are at Tank's wedding

I have to say it’s extremely satisfying to me to have none of the grunt brothers carry on the grunt name whether they take their spouses name or end up taking their mothers name it’s just chefskiss to me

Day 7 in Twisted Pleasantview: Chilling at Home

THE PREVIOUS DAY

NAME: RIPP GRUNT

LIFE STAGE: TEEN

STATUS: ALIVE, BUGGED FUNCTIONAL

SPECIAL NOTES: Behind the cheerful face of one of the most popular kids at Crumplebottom Academy is a deeply traumatized child who just wants to be understood.

---

Dear Diary,

As I expected, Angela was kind of pissed about me telling Mom about us seeing her make out with Cassandra, and it go so bad she went to her room and locked the door. I decided it would be good to get some space, and since Mom was at work and Dad was at the hospital as a result of the maid getting him pregnant (and no I'm not sure how that happened) I decided to invite Ripp over.

Ripp asked me about my report, and mentioned that he already finished his thanks to some special connections. Initially I thought this meant that he cheated by having someone else do it, but it turns out his family knows superstar Tom Vandermorgan and he was able to interview him instead. Honestly would've been more impressive it was his brother Reed Vandermorgan, who's way cuter than he is (I'd choose a rockstar over a jock anytime), but honestly still pretty cool

I decided to tell him about Pascal, and it turns out Ripp was also from Strangetown. He confirmed that there was indeed an invasion, though that they had to leave for Pleasantview sometime before that happened due to their father disappearing so he didn't know all of the details. As of now he and his brothers are living with his uncle Julien, who works as a chef.

We then talked about some of the disappearances, and I realized Ripp never met Dustin or Dirk. Going to write a reminder here to throw a party so they could all meet. Ripp said he had a theory that the disappearances were the results of aliens, then started laughing about how ironic it was that his dad who hated aliens ended up being abducted by one. I didn't really understand what was going on or what he was saying, so I just nodded along and pretended to understand.

After Ripp went home, I got that phone call from Vidcund. He asked me to move to a private area (which I didn't need to do because there was nobody else home), before asking me some questions about Mom and Dad and their careers. I told him everything, which also included Mom and Dad cheating on each other with the maid and Cassandra. After that I asked him what he needed the information for, and he said it was secret.

I heard a woman laughing on the other end and some whispering from her and Vidcund about "giving the Goths exactly what they deserve." I would've asked them about it, but quite frankly I do not want to get in the way of their revenge plans or else I'll end up being on the receiving end of them, and I don't really care about the Goths either. I guess as long as they don't kill Alexander or something (don't really care for him but he is just a kid and I'm pretty sure he hasn't done anything) then it's fine.

THE NEXT DAY

[grandvampiress]

BREAKING NEWS: ripp vandermorgan spotted at local strangetown bar

[annieshowell]

it was getting pretty late and lyla decided it was time to leave so she said goodbye to the kids and pretend there's a picture of her hugging becca, i was pretty sure i took a screenshot of it but apparently i didn't? anyway

lyla: "good luck in college honey, im so proud of you"

tank: "thank you mom"

ripp: "won't you stay for dinner with us?"

lyla: "i told olive it wouldn't be long, honey, by the way i loved your hair"

ripp: "uh thanks, dad didn't like it much"

lyla: "and what does he like?"

[andrisims]

Double Ripp!

[heromonty]

can you two not? it’s your mom’s wedding day 😭

[beikonsims]

Since Ripp was the one to (mostly) deal with Opal when she showed up, this time Rick stepped in to send his father-in-law/step-father away from his house. He wasn't afraid of the old general, especially not in his field of work.

Buzz wasn't used to being threatened, since people around Strangetown mostly respected him - even if they hated his guts. Rick made it very clear his husband doesn't want to see him and any attempts at harassing him will be met with a physical response.

Ripp wasn't used to someone standing up for him like that, especially not to his father. He still didn't want to completely cut off his family, because he didn't have any issues with his brothers. But it definitely felt good to have a tough Mr. Criminal around to protect him.

round 3: LFT

[dreadpirate]

Truth-seekers move to Strangetown hoping to discover the secrets the town holds. Do aliens live among us? Do missing Sims mysteriously appear here? In this town nothing is what it seems.

Gender bent Strangetown

Welcome to Strangetown, or what was Strangetown. Either a science experiment has gone wrong or a slip in the multiverse occurred, Strangetown is a little... different.

What started out as a simple idea back in April as an April Fool's Day prank has now become reality. Strangetown but the genders have been swapped.

This neighborhood was made using Sims 2 Ultimate Collection so you will most definitely need all the packs to get this working properly. Think of this as V1 however since I have not renovated a single lot but since I used the Gussy Up mod, the sims will not be in their original spots.

First off is the name changes and it's not just the first names:

Curious:

Vidcund Curious > Vera Curious

Pascal Curious > Paola Curious

Lazlo Curious > Lavender Curious

Tycho Curious (the supposed canon name of unborn alien baby) > Thalia Curious

Chloe Curious > Chandler Curious

Lola Curious > Lonnie Curious

Beaker Salamis:

Loki Beaker > Lilja Salamis

Circe Beaker > Charis Salamis

Nervous Subject stays unchanged

Specter Muenda:

Olive Specter > Oliver Muenda

Ophelia Nigmos > Onyx Muenda

Smith:

PT9 “Paul” Smith > PT9 “Patricia” Smith

Jenny Smith > James Smith

Johnny Smith > Joanna Smith

Jill Smith > Joseph Smith

Grunt:

General Buzz Grunt > General Beatrice Grunt

Tank Grunt > Tilly Vandermorgan

Ripp Grunt > Rickie Vandermorgan

Buck Grunt > Buffy Vandermorgan

Loner:

Ajay Loner > Anima Loner

Singles:

Erin Beaker > Erik Beaker

Kristen Loste > Kristopher Loste

Chloe Curious > Chandler Curious

Lola Curious > Lonnie Curious

There is no CC needed to download this neighborhood as I went above and beyond to even take out my defaults to make sure they’d look decent for people who use strictly maxis. HOWEVER I highly recommend Less Gendered Face Templates if you wish to have the faces look somewhat resembling of the OG sims.

The reason behind the last name changes:

The Grunts are still somewhat called the Grunts, but I noticed that in the original Strangetown, Lyla and Buzz were divorced before she died, and her maiden name was Vandermorgan, the kids should have that last name too. Just think of it as Beatrice has changed her last name back to her maiden name.

For the Beakers I figured Charis would keep his last name and then it snowballed into Lilja would have it too, so they became Salamis’

For the Smiths I decided it wasn’t necessary to name them the Curiouses as well since there is so many of them. That and we all know male Jenny would be a malewife to his devoted alien wife

For the Specters I figured Oliver would keep his last name Muenda and I changed Onyx’s to Muenda because it never settled right with me giving a POC sim the last name Nigmos

To Download:

Downloading is simple, for now it is only on sfs but that will change in the future hopefully.

to install this hood, unzip the file and go to your Documents/EA Games/Sims 2 Ultimate Collection/Neighborhood folder and plop it in there.
