02-04. Get Sharpo

I went into my Roaring Heights game briefly this evening. Elliot Nest and his wife Anabel were at the park with their son Merit.

Anabel is a mermaid. This guy was just standing there staring at her and thinking about fish. Creepy.

Why was I in Roaring Heights? Well, I was checking out a sim I'd read about online. I'd been looking for possible matches for Bonnie--anyone with similar traits. So of all places, I found a sim in the same world that Bonnie had come from. This is Sharpo Marks. Modeled after Arthur "Harpo" Marx the actor/comedian, minus the red stage wig...and the harp.

He has a lot in common with Bonnie: Computer Whiz and Bookworm, compatible zodiac sign. And it appears that Sharpo gets easily bored with his brothers' small talk. So maybe he'd be agreeable to a new adventure.

Now, Sharpo needs a bit of a makeover, it's true. I would put a little more flesh on him for one thing. He also has the usual sullen look that most Roaring Heights gentlemen seem to affect. Fine, I can live with that. His traits are acceptable, but I might change one. 

In real life, Harpo was supposedly a great guy. Funny, warm, nurturing...faithful to his wife. Maybe the real guy will influence the sim version. 

Newsflash! 

It's reported that Sharpo Marks, one of 5 Marks brothers, has suddenly vanished from the city of Roaring Heights. "He just disappeared!" brother Glummo told the press. Sharpo was last seen walking casually out of the Palm Tree Bar on a bright, sunny afternoon. 

Don't tell his brothers, but Sharpo is now in cryostasis in the sims library bin.

I bet you're wondering why I'm looking outside of Riverview for a match for Bonnie. Well, I'm a little concerned that Jon Lessen may not be the best choice for her. And no, not because he tries to steal coins from the well. The Criminally Challenged family could hardly fault him for that!
