GRANNY RUTH SAYS

Meet Grandma Ruth Pennington, SimmedUp Magazine’s very own Agony Grandma.

Grandma Ruth was born and grew up in Sunset Valley and lived in Bridgeport as a young adult working as a latenight DJ where she would take calls from all kinds of Sims to give them advice about life.

She managed to save enough money and move to Isla Paradiso to open a small beach bar where, again, she found herself listening to other Sims problems. Grandma Ruth then decided to travel the world for a few years visi�ng places like AlSimhara before se�ling down in Veronaville working as a therapist.

It is rumoured that Grandma Ruth had affairs with members from the Capp and Monty families but she has never confirmed (or denied) these allega�ons. Now an elder, Grandma Ruth decided it is �me for a change. She moved yet again to Brindleton Bay to share her vast knowledge of life with SimmedUp readers. She enjoys kni�ng while listening to heavy metal and sipping on a simoleons sunrise; she makes a living by selling her kni�ed goods on Plopsy.

The mysterious virus

was one of the most interesting things to have ever been added to The Sims series. This mysterious virus saw Sims fall ill for no reason at all. Finally it was discovered to be Guinea Pigs!
