When last we left our intrepid Uglacy, Gabria had just turned into a far too pretty Knowledge Sim. She has her father’s flat nose bridge, but otherwise has nice features. The family deliberates between Juan “Proven Ugly” McCoullough and Sheldon “Pearhead” Hanby. Although Juan is a sure thing, Asinette decides to give Sheldon a try because her scientific mind just can’t wait to see how that pear head breeds.
Sheldon is a Fortune Sim with a 9 neat and 10 Charisma. He quickly lands his desired business job and goes for a make over. He settles on a charming dreadlocked do and the skateboarding genie wearing a showgirl headdress carrying a bazooka T-shirt combo. God is a bit worried because he does have pretty eyes, but holds out hope.
Christy’s ace in the hole want, to retire, is blown to hell when she picks a bad chance card for her Slacker career. She decides against getting another job and spends her time chatting up various mailmen hoping to spawn some new blood. Connor Copur replaces Sheldon, but he’s deemed too attractive. His replacement (who comes while he’s chatting with Christy) Allison Fuchs is also deemed unworthy since she has a plain but pretty face.
Christy’s new power want is to have another grandchild, so Ramin and Asinette step up to the plate. Unfortunately, Grandpa Bacheek doesn’t make it long enough to see the end result. His platinum death is courtesy of Gabria’s overacheiving. Like all good Family widows, Christy immediately wants to fall in love. Hoping to pad the low green (thanks to Bacheek’s death) she calls up best friend Goopy Gils Carbo and the switch from friendship to love is a matter of holding hands.
Crespin is born and is a dark skinned, blonde haired baby. When he becomes a toddler he shows that Ramin’s nose wins out over Acheron’s beak, so he is promising. Sheldon meanwhile loses HIS job thanks to another freaking chance card and bottoms out socially. He phones a few of his delivery people friends hoping against hope to find Mehrissa Monkeyface, but alas only manages to reach Matthew, who is way too good looking despite a slightly abbreviated Kenjamin nose.
Ramin ages into an elder with little fanfare and thankfully was in a neglected green state. He reaches the top of his career becoming a mad scientist, but calls out sick because he’s really tired come 10PM. Christy spends her last days teaching Crespin all the basic toddler skills, then becomes best friends with Connor and Allison to solidify her platinum death. Just for a little insurance, she bangs Goopy one last time and then dies in his arms (well almost, she was going in for a hug when the Grim Reaper arrived).
Crespin takes an enormous aspiration hit and it’s only through some constant attention from Ramin that he gets out of “rotten rugrat” territory. It is Sheldon, however, who saves the day. After striking out with the grocery delivery people, he calls an exterminator planning to befriend Jessie out of the picture in hopes of spawning someone better. Much to his glee who should answer the phone on the first ring but Carmen Patch, Queen of Ugly! She is contracted to come kill the Fughliegh’s non-existent bugs and suddenly things are looking up.
