Euclides Whipple walked into a bar...

My active sim at the time was in that same bar, and a new barfly spawned to join the many that were spawned that night. But he looked too similar to another barfly that was already there, and I wasn't in the mood to do a quickie make-over on the fly, so I did a quickie delete on the fly instead. That was when I saw -- tragically late -- his truly excellent name, and I was instantly filled with remorse for my rashness. :cry:

Ok, yeah. Not true remorse, but I do wish I'd noticed that name sooner because it would've earned him a place among my favorite NPC names to see out and about. I might even have adopted him as a played sim, who knows. It wouldn't be the first time such a whimsical and delightful townie name saved one from the Watcher's smiting. Alas, poor Euclides. I'm taking a moment of silence for poor Mr. Whipple. I didn't even get a photo to remember him by. :disappointed:

:lol:

I'm sure others (maybe everyone) has had things like that happen in their game. Share yours, if you like. :grin:

    That is a truly great name for a truly short lived sim. Long live Mr Whipple’s memory.

    I once had two totally different NPC sims named Iosephina Kamaka. When they started showing up at bars and events at the same time, it was decided one had to go. My main sim was friendly with one of them, so it was “so long” for Iosephina 2. May she find companionship with Mr Whipple, wherever they are.

    Wow, that's a distinctive name for doubles! :lol: And thank you for the blessing. I'm relieved to know that Mr. Whipple might not need to spend his after-aetherlife alone. All the other aetherfolk (I wonder if saying that phrase 9 times is magical or anything) might well be jealous of the famous friendship of Euclides and Iosphina!

    @VeeDub @cyncie They sound like mythological characters, don't they? I have MCCC picking my townies now, but before I made that change, I never seemed to get one with an interesting name. I'll occasionally roll the dice for a CAS creation's name, which is almost the same thing...but not quite as serendipitous as finding them in the wild.

    Haha, yes they do sound like that. I often see interesting first names or surnames, but you're right; it's rare to see particularly poetic sounding combinations that I had no hand in creating. That's why such spawns are usually automatic keepers for me. It's just a fun little thing for me, which doesn't always have to "fit" whatever story I've got going on. :lol:


    You know, I haven’t seen Iosephina1 around lately. I probably need to check on her.

    Uh-oh, I knew it. She got jealous of Iosephina2. :open_mouth:

    Well, I have tragic news to report. Neighborhood Stories has notified me that Iosephina1 has tragically died of cardiac explosion. Poor dear. May she Rest In Peace.

    Oh noooo! Now she will never meet Mr. Schmuck. Such a tragic lack of romance between those two. :cry:

    How do you get mccc to pick your townies?


    Not sure if you were asking me, but I got tagged, so I'll answer anyway. :lol:

    On a computer select MC Command Center > MC Population > Populating Settings > Import Tray Settings

    From there you have several options available, but I don't use these: Include Clothing, Import Sim Name (mine will always be given a new random name), or Import Bypass Appearance (their basic look is similar, but they may spawn as more fit or less, fatter or thinner, and have different eye and/or skin color). I personally do it that way so that they never look identical to my originals.

    Edited because I smack-posted by accident. :blush:

    Yep, this is none other than Mr. Euclides Whipple, whose more common expression is probably like the one below. :lol:

    I recreated him based on the same sim that MCCC used as a basis to spawn Euclides as a barfly, but I altered him a bit more than MCCC did. He once looked closer to the screenshot below, but when he'd spawned as a rando he spawned with different colored skin and eyes, and his clothing was different. That's Etienne Duplantier below, by the way, my Paranormal expert and spellcaster who resides in a completely different save from the one in which Mr. Whipple first appeared. I used some of Etienne's original clothing for the new version of Mr. Whipple, but I redid most of the other outfits (not shown in the screenshot) to suit the quite different personality of Euclides.

    I'll probably play the new Mr. Whipple for a while, and if I like him enough he may become a permanent part of my cast of characters. :)
