Ripp Grunt

Ripp Grunt (later known as Corporal Ripp Grunt) is the second son of General Buzz Grunt and the late Lyla Grunt, and is the brother of Tank and Buck Grunt. He works part-time in the Slacker career track, as a Gas Station Attendant.

Unlike General Buzz and Tank, Ripp does not have an interest in the military. Also, he is the only member of the household to have any Playful points. He does not get along well with his older brother or his father, though he is friends with Buck when the game starts. He is friends with Ophelia Nigmos and has a high relationship with Johnny Smith, though they are not friends at the start of the game. He doesn't have any romances, but players often pair him with Ophelia Nigmos, despite her starting out as Johnny Smith's girlfriend.

When first played, he is 8 days away from becoming an adult.

Even though Ripp has brown hair, his natural hair color is actually blonde. There is a high chance that the children he fathers will be blonde, even if the mother has a dominant hair color (brown or black). (It appears that this was later changed so that he has a dominant allele for brown hair and a recessive allele for blonde hair.)

He also was taught all his toddler skills by Lyla, but grew up badly. This may indicate that he had no particular wants to learn them.

He is also featured in The Sims 2 (PSP), in which he is an adult. Evidently, his relationship with Tank has gotten worse since The Sims 2. Ripp is the vendor for Division 47. Strangely, while Ripp has brown hair and dark blue eyes in The Sims 2, he has black hair and brown eyes in the PSP version.

Ripp's secrets from The Sims 2 (PSP):


 * 1) (Personal): Ripp always loves to look at the stars... until he walks into a lamppost.
 * 2) (Intimate): Ripp lost much of his body hair in an experimental blow-dryer incident.
 * 3) (Dark): Ripp's debilitating fear of toilets was caused by one too many swirlies as a child.
 * 4) (Innocent Victim): Ripp's brother beats him up regularly, even though they are both adults.
