Wow, I absolutely loved this update! Poor Frances! And wonderful screenshots there... with so many sims on the lot I bet taking the pictures was about to drive you around the twist, lol!
I just love Ripp... I can't help it. Even though he is a bit of a sleaze in this story. That just makes him all the more endearing!
Can't wait to see what Johnny was up to during all this!
Thanks for such a great update... really helps me take my mind off owing the IRS for a while, hee hee!
Okay, I'm finally going to get around to responding to some of these comments. Sorry for the delay! It's been a weird time for me.
Thank you. Some of these shots were very difficult to set up and control. I had to make a lot of characters selectable, and then try to herd them around. That might explain why it took so long to shoot all of these scenes.
Well, really... is there anything essentially wrong with being a sleaze? He's just a slut. He likes sex, and he's vulgar. I've never seen that as a reason to dislike someone. As long as you're not hurting anyone... and I suppose he should be careful there, since he's walking some fine lines. But ultimately, I see Ripp as being in more danger of hurting himself and anyone else. Unless they get too close to him, and he's not giving many people a chance to do that.
Johnny gets dealt with more in part three, as you may already know by now.
Ooo, yay, something to read while I cough my lungs out.
I just love the look on Ripps face when he's trying to pick out a girl for Tank. It's absolutely perfect. You know, I can totally relate to what Tank is trying to explain to Ripp about it not always being so easy to just walk up and start a conversation with a stranger. Sounds just like the conversations I used to have with a very gregarious good friend. She used to tell me that all the time. She also told me not to be so shy and I said just what Tank did...it's not that easy.
"Well, I hope you enjoy the memory." She said. "Because that's all you're ever going to get from me."
Ripp was stunned. Slap! shot down big time! Is that Kendall from the neighborhood? She ages up well. Very pretty. I'm guessing she's not up for a second go-round with Ripp under any circumstances. Of course, I notice it didn't take Ripp very long to find someone else to hook up with. And Tank walking in on them. Oh No! Tank looks like he's going to throw up as he leaves the room and I couldn't blame him
( ... )
I love that look too. It's the "scope room" interaction, which just seems like something that Ripp would really do, with a big dirty smile on his face
( ... )
He didn't want to push that sort of thing into anyone's face, and it didn't seem like Frances was having much luck for himself with the ladies.
How very, very Tank. He really is kind of clueless about Francis, isn't he? I do feel bad for Francis, but I am sure something will work out for him sooner or later.
I really liked this update. Ophelia's conversation with Jaxy and Zoe was nice to see, since I don't think we've seen her interact much with anyone besides Johnny and Ripp. I also liked that we got a hint of more of Jaxy's background, since we don't see much of the band members unless there is a gig or they are out shopping, etc.
Darn, I have more I want to comment on, but I have to leave for work! Nice update, can't wait for more! :)
Tank is really not seeing that with Frances, and it might be a case of only seeing what you want to see. Also, if he was a little ruder, like his brother, he'd probably just come out and ask him about it. But he's not. Poor Tank. (Or should I say, poor Frances
( ... )
Yes, and that's one of the nice things about Ripp. He can be a real jackass, but the harm he inflicts is usually not intended (with Frances, he was being no harsher than he is to his bandmates, but the audience makes a huge difference), and he is usually pretty quick to apologize. His heart is in the right place, even if his head is often up his ass. :P
Heheh. Yeah, Tank doesn't really need that level of information from Ripp (and at least he's polite enough not to go into specific details). I love the looks I was able to get from that "scope room" interaction

Hah! I was wondering whether Kendal would show up again. Poor Frances though, hopelessly in love...or is he? Very sweet of Ripp to comfort him.
Loved the first meeting between Jaxy, Zoe and Ophelia - they all love Ripp to pieces, don't they *lol* (Like the rest of us ;)
Great shots as always, it must have taken a LOT of time and patience to set it up with all the sims around!

Indeed, sweet might have been the wrong word! At least he kinda understood that he went too far and tried to not make it worse ;)
