Uglacy Challenge

Aackrod Pugsley was living the familiar lawn life–he had his unfloored, sheetrocked bathroom with the exposed light bulb, his uncomfortable bed beneath the stars, his ugly couch, cinderblock bookcase, and cheap stereo, and he had his fridge with a couple of counters for whipping up chef salads. He had a job in the mailroom of a faceless corporation. But he didn’t have love.

All that changed when Melissa Fancey walked by with her ugly-ass 70′s hairdo and her tacky flame pants. One look at her partially-obscured face and Aackrod knew he must have her. Several evenings of chatting in the dark led to a crush, and then love.

Before he proposed, Aackrod asked Melissa to move in with him. She was everything he’d hoped for and more. A Romance Sim with a level-two job in the Slacker career and no skill points, Melissa brought over $15,000 and a libido the size of all outdoors. Aackrod got down on one knee and offered a ring, but he was flatly rejected, taking a 3,500-point aspiration hit and diving into the red. Luckily his heart was quickly patched up, and in lieu of commitment, Aackrod and Melissa hopped in the sack, making Melissa platinum but pregnant.

After a day of Melissa waddling pathetically from the outdoor bed to the indoor toilet, God got around to using Melissa’s inexplicable stash of wealth to build the couple a home, complete with foundation. It turned out much nicer than expected.

Melissa and Aackrod ate some burned hamburgers to get in a good enough mood for Aackrod to pop the question again. This time Melissa accepted, acting all overjoyed even though her memory of the event is a negative one. Phony.

Shortly before Melissa was due to give birth, Aackrod got up early, made breakfast, and got married. Melissa, again, acted quite pleased with the event despite her secret negative memory. Cow.

Aackrod went to work as Melissa had daughter Kaebrianl right there in the kitchen. Aackrod, well in the platinum, missed a promotion by picking the wrong answer on a chance card and losing a charisma point, so he came home to meet his new daughter and brush up on his speaking skills. Meanwhile Melissa darted outside to meet, befriend, and flirt with passerby Dina Caliente (or was it Nina? No matter). Aackrod and Melissa bought a birthday cake for Kaebrianl promptly at six the next evening and twirled her into a toddler who already shows promise for a godawful nose. She has a stellar personality using all 35 possible points for a natural-born Sim, 10/1/8/7/9. The Pugsley family is off to a great start!
