People are strange--in every sense of the word. No doubt about it. We all are. Morrison spoke the truth when he composed the song.

So where to begin? If people are strange, the sims are even stranger!
Only a sim can visibly shoot fire from his ears when eating spicy curry, then want to learn the recipe for it.
Or develop an intense body itch from eating jelly beans ... and then get a wish to buy a jelly bean plant!
Only a sim would so dislike another sim on sight that she would march right over and slap him in the face.
Or get the irresistible urge to attack the guy without any provocation whatsoever!
No, the Farazes are not nice people. They are very, very strange. So when Bebhinn got an opportunity to make an enemy of someone she barely knew, I thought, "Might as well. She and Emad seem to enjoy fighting."
The opportunity would earn Bebhinn a full promotion in her political career. Attacking this other candidate would insure her own success. The named victim was Brett, the food replicator waiter at the consignment shop. Mayor Faraz had no trouble being mean. I prompted her once and she took over from there.
Bebhinn: You bleeding heart do-gooder! You're what's wrong with Lost Cove!
Brett: Whoa there, lady! All I did was start a charity to aid orphans. Everyone wants to help orphans.
Bebhinn: We need that money to save the clock tower! There are plenty of orphans. We only have one clock tower!
Emad: Hey, gorgeous, you need any help with that guy?
Bebhinn: Thank you, darling, but I've got this covered.
Emad: Oh waiter! I'll have the shawarma ...
Bebhinn: Now, go get my husband's shawarma! He's not the patient type.
Emad: The shawarma's cold, Stay Puft. That really ticks me off!
Yes, the Farazes are Evil to the core. But Bebhinn is devoted to her career, in a strange sort of way.
Bebhinn truly believes her horse Luna supports all her campaign promises. Now, how strange is that!
Well, strange or not, Bebhinn Faraz is now Governor of Lost Cove.
But then, considering the voters, no one is surprised at all. Lost Cove sims will eat any garbage you feed them!
As they say, strange is as strange does.

Emad (heckling): You're done for now, orphan-lover! Should've voted for the clock!
