Too bad his afro is hidden by that hat. Oh well.

I debated whether or not to do that, since I know you wanted an afro. I decided that a giant afro impossibly tucked away under a hat would be funnier than just running around in an afro 24/7, and the hat added to his "confused dapper caveman" aesthetic. Don't worry, you'll see his dapper doo off and on.

Glasses: Monocle! If we're doing this we're doing it in style.
I also struggled a little to do this since I found out that the monocle is not only an unlockable cosmetic (requiring you to marry-in a butler to the family), but also limited strictly to adult males (and not young adult, which Grug is). After pondering for a while if I should just make Grug an adult to begin with, I went out and found a tiny little 4KB mod package (since it's just a little code edit) with a quick search online that unlocks it for all genders and ages from teen and up.

I was hoping for something like half that size, where you'd wonder how such a person might even eat. Maybe we need to have a close up to the face to appreciate the whole beauty.

I've seen it.
INTRODUCTION PART 3: FREEDOM







Here it is. The outside world. Wild, unfettered, and waiting for Grug to explore.



Grug's parents always told him, "you're out of the house and on your own the moment you turn 18."



They never did specify "years."



Perhaps through luck or sheer determination of will (but not cunning wit), Grug managed to make his own in the open world, surviving to childhood.



With enough shameless begging, pitying strangers, and puppy-dog eyes, Grug was able to mooch away anything he could ever want.



Clean clothes, places to stay, food, and even gallons of hair dye. All without so much as raising a finger.



Mmm, raw garlic.



As time went on, Grug became a master to the craft of begging.



Once he reached his teenaged years, he knew what it took to practically mooch the clothes off of people's backs.

Not literally, though. That would be creepy.



But almost literally!

He eventually came to be such a smooth talker that empty flattery, fake politeness, and a little stretching of the truth was all it took for others to simply give him what he wanted.



Grug never quite found a home of his own, so he made the world his home instead, and the ability to get whatever he asked for was what allowed him to survive as long as he did.



After all, it's simply amazing how much people will let you take after pretending to be a proper, respectful individual to them.



But, after a while, Grug forgot that he was only pretending. Molded by the necessity of his panhandling, he became attuned to the matters of propriety.

Still, as he grew into a young adult, he learned that his ability to talk his way into anything he asked for stemmed from his pitiable position as a homeless youth rather than any actual charisma.

Unskilled, homeless, and with nobody to turn to, he used what little he had to buy a home of his own and finally begin his life, an opportunity he was never given as a child.



And what an opportunity it was.



This house is incredible! I never could imagine Grug being able to buy this with the money he started out with.



Which is probably why he lives in this empty lot, instead.

And now Grug has barely any money. But an empty lot is still a start. Maybe one day he'll have a house which can rival that random home he found while wandering through the middle of town.



Grug doesn't have any skills beyond the traits he started out with. So, without a job or source of income, there's no means for him to earn any money as of right now.



At least Grug can use the last of his cash to buy this clock.

And now we have absolutely no money left.

Ah, just kidding!



Grug also had enough to buy a wall to hang it on.



NOW we have absolutely no money left.



The thing Grug bought is called a "Neko Clock." It's a Japanese import...which is probably why it costs so much. In case you don't know, "Neko" is Japanese for "clock," hence the name. There, don't say you never learned anything from this.

I don't know what "clock" means in Japanese, though. Maybe "dog" or something, since that's what it looks like.

You may be wondering "why a clock?" Well, as an adult, Grug's time is valuable. Besides, rich people are always wearing watches or looking at the time. Since every contributing member of society owns one, buying a clock should make Grug one too, right?



O, mystical Neko Clock, heed my plea!

Guide Grug towards the path to find his fortune!



Show him the way to give his life meaning!

Where shall his journey lead next to discover true happiness!?





"MIAW! MIAW! MIAW! MIAW! MIAW! MIAW! MIAW! MIAW! MIAW!"



...

...Huh.



Anybody speak Japanese?



You know what? Forget the clock. How about you decide for me, instead?



There's a vast, wide world for Grug to explore. What shall he do next? Where shall he go? Who shall he ruin the life of?

Guide Grug on his journey and give him goals to achieve, from building his house, meeting new people, changing and improving himself, or building his future.

Or, you know, ruin everything. Whatever comes first.

(The next part is here.)

Do nothing. He seems to have a good thing going on here. I am pretty sure this is Pareto optimal.
Or you know, wait for neighbors visiting his new house. They might have stuff.

Wait for neighbors, then for the first one to arrive, flip a coin. If heads, that person is now Grug's mortal enemy and he must do anything in his powers to ruin that Sim's life. If tails, friendly greeting.

This.

Though if he flips tails, he should also consider schmoozing them to his side as an ally against his soon to be declared mortal enemy.

He's gotten this far through life mooching, why not convince someone to do the hard work for him?

Okay, you know what? I'd like to make a formal request.

Bring Samara back. Even if she's just a neighbor or for a cameo. I'd like to see her again in any way.

Bonus points if Samara is the "target" Grug despises due to a coin flip.

I was thinking, and this is a thought for the future, but I think it might be considerable for Grug to get into the wine nectar business. We could have Grug's Grog.

...We'd need money first, and of course free labor trusting friends to command help us out. At some point, our schemer fine gentleman in the making needs to think about the future and not just the present.
