Uglacy Challenge

Kaebrianl sailed through toddlerhood on a couple bottles of Smart Milk and grew into a child. Melissa and Aackrod’s work schedules necessitated hiring a nanny for a day, which turned out much better than usual–since Kaebrianl didn’t actually need any attention, Kendal the nanny spent her time cleaning the house and left the family a turkey dinner at the end of her shift. (!) Kaebrianl is a cheerful Sim who loves to clean, usually amuses herself, and gave me the “oh goody!” look when I sent her to work out for body points. Why, oh, why did she have to be part of the Uglacy? Really a waste.

One night Kaebrianl got up in the wee hours, thinking she’d get a jump on the day, when sinister music started to play. Burglar Gordon King was sneaking into the house, none too subtly, I might add. The Pugsleys’ burglar alarm had accidentally been deleted during a bathroom remodel, but luckily Kaebrianl was ready to phone the police at the first sign of danger. Gordon took his time going to the back room to steal the chess table, then coming back to the front of the house to bag the TV, so Officer Dorian got there in plenty of time to engage him in a comedic brawl on the living room rug.

Gordon is a real piece of work, fugly-wise, but no one got the opportunity to talk to him because he got hauled off by Dorian after the fight, and no one could click on the police cruiser to let him out the way they’re supposed to be able to, according to the Prima Guide. Grr. Dorian himself was far too attractive for the Pugsleys to bother talking to.

While Aackrod has dully climbed the corporate ladder to nearly the top of the business track, Melissa has spent her time alternately rising to Hostess in her culinary career and setting up extramarital affairs. She reeled in Komei Tellerman, scoring an unexpected 3,500 aspiration points when her “make out with Komei” want was fulfilled autonomously by Komei upon her greeting him on the front porch. Good thing clueless Aackrod was busy playing chess with himself at the time. The next day was Melissa’s day off, so after Aackrod and Kaebrianl had left for the morning, she invited Komei over and satisfied a “WooHoo in bed” want. After snoozing it off, Komei got out of bed and left the house without a word. Men. Melissa has a lock on that three-WooHoo want in the hopes that she can get along until her dying days with that on the back burner, perhaps with additional flame Dina Caliente in mind.

When Aackrod and Kaebrianl came home none the wiser (although I was really curious as to what Aackrod would do if he came home to find Melissa and Komei asleep, spooned, in his bed together), Melissa whipped up some dinner (“Mom, why are you cooking in your underwear?”) and they bought a birthday cake for Kaebrianl, who aged up into a disappointingly decent-looking Popularity Sim, though her nose is still wide.

She’s doomed to a sad life anyway, thanks to having a total of one outgoing point (as a child, she gave the cutest anxious look when directed to dance to the stereo, and then had the most reluctant-looking walk all the way there). The challenge will be to find her a potential suitor who can improve upon that nose, perhaps by adding some jaw action. Can Sheldon the Pear-Headed Mailman be located in time? Will the Pugsleys invest in a bar in search of Juan? Is there any way to get Gordon “Assface” King to rob the house again?
