Player stories

 * I gazed upon the Grunt family one day, and felt nothing but sympathy for the teen Ripp Grunt. I decided he should be happy-- happier than that no good brother Tank Grunt. I killed Tank and grew Ripp up. He married to a Russian woman named Brooke Stroginov who stole his heart-- unfortunately she was not so faithful of a wife. She had simultaneous affairs with two other men, and bore them both children while pretending they were Ripp's. The two stayed together long enough to celebrate their golden anniversary. Brooke's oldest daughter, Julia Mantle (who had fallen in love with Ripp at practically first sight), saw how her mother treated her blissfully ignorant husband and one day couldn't stand it any longer. She sorrowfully informed Ripp of her mother's treachery and they shared a heartfelt moment of mutual grief. Ripp soon recovered, however, thanked Julia, and resolved to divorce his three-timing wife. When he got home, however, he discovered that Brooke had died earlier that day of old age. After adequate mourning time, Julia finally confessed to Ripp, who then realized he loved her too! The two lived happily for the short amount of time that Ripp had left to live.


 * In my game he grew-up and watched long-time crush, Ophelia Nigmos, marry Johnny Smith. However, shortly after her wedding he professed his love for her. Ophelia then began to question her love for Johnny even to the point where her and Ripp engaged in a brief affair. When she had her first child with Johnny she looked into her new-borns eyes and realized Johnny was the only man for her and broke it off with Ripp leaving him devastated. He then began to date Melody Tinker they had a whirlwind romance leading to Ripp proposing on the first date. She gleefully accepted and they quickly married. They have one child. He and Ophelia are now just good friends.


 * IN MY GAME, I DON'T SCREW WITH THE NATURAL ORDER OF THINGS!! Ripp is a Angst ridden Teen who hates every one in his family besides his younger brother. He Has a Romance Aspiration.


 * In my game, I made a very rich teenage girl named Lexie Gobb, she called a match maker and had Ripp as her date, the two became good friends and later lovers. and they entered academe le' tour, Lexie didn't finished her college degree because of family matters but Ripp graduated Summa cum Laude in his major economics. and right after his graduatation he proposed engagement to Lexie, and now Ripp is an Icon (show business) but before he is a business tycoon.


 * I didn't get to do much with Ripp. He died in my game about three days before he grew into an adult. I'm not sure what exactly was the cause, but I'm going to watch out for the ghost, so I can find out.


 * On mine, Ripp did not follow Tank into the military and instead became a politician to the disapproval of General Buzz. Ripp married a sim I created called Carla, and eventually Ripp had risen to become a Congressman by the time of Tank's death. He then became a Judge, before being elected a Senator when he was assasinated (by gun) by a Sim I created (Harrold Hellings).


 * At first Ripp was weirded out with his father joining union with Vidcund Curious, but grew over it after Vidcund helped him with his homework (Vidcund was a science teacher after all :P). He shared his first kiss with Ophelia and dated 2 random townie girls also before leaving for the Academie for college, where he majored in Art. He eventually married to a Romance Sim at his first dormitory named Michelle, one night of unprotected woohoo however made her pregnant, producing a boy named Val. Because they have an open relationship, they can satisfy their wants and live happily ever after. Ripp has always been good with kids, after helping taking care of his siblings and his neice and nephews, so taking care of Val (who's now a teenager) is no challenge to him. Ripp currently is slowly climbing his way to the top of the Artist career after taking a sudden interest in Arts & Crafts.


 * In my sims game, Ripp digs into the music industry and started playing an old piano in his house. He becomes a Richard Clayderman style pianist playing mostly classical music and gained his fame all over SimCity, despite disappointing his father. I haven't played the Grunts for a while, but, Ripp is still a teenager and has become a millionare on his own. He currently drives a Bugatti Veryon instead of the Hunka 711 he used to have. His older brother Tank, envoys him about his fame. Ripp, who has deep pockets, buys Tank a Ferrari 599 to calm him down. Currently, a blue-blooded teenage girl I created named Pence Van Dart is having a crush on Ripp, despite that Pence is only well-known on the internet only.


 * I didn't really do anything besides change him into a family person, got him married to my sim, grew him up and probably made things worse with his family. (Ripp and my sim are very happy together..)
