I love coming up with crazy explanations for my Sim's stupid behavior. Actually, the whole sub-plot with the Grunts started when the General stalked Puck that time. As I watched him, I decided I wanted to have the General related to Puck (who I always considered a half-alien in this story, although I wasn't planning to expand his background) in some way.
First, I wanted Puck to be the General's long lost son, but I decided that was too obvious. Then, I wanted to have "Buck Strong" (Puck's Dad) as Lyla Grunt's brother, but by then the two-bolt attraction between Buck and Rose Mary was acting in my game thanks to ACR, so I also dropped that idea.
Buck and Rose Mary relationship is also a product of randomness. Buck was a common visitor in this legacy for generations. He was Cosmo's best friend as a kid, and he also came home from school with Andrew a lot of times. When I decided to introduce the Grunts to the legacy, I wanted to have Buck fall in love with Helena (to piss the General even more), but they never established a friendship. Before I knew it, Buck and Rosie were best friends, and it all went from there.
Marsha and Hobbes became best friends autonomously, and actually she never stalked Timmy. Want to know who's the real stalker in my game (as in called Timmy 500000 times a day when he was a kid)? Jill Smith.
Oh, the cousins were there because they were waiting for Tim to go to school together. Tim was going to ask Marsha out at school :).
