The brick came with the Pets EP. I guess it's their answer to the pet rock fad back in the day. Old man Gann has the evil trait and was showing interest in joining the criminal career, but I hadn't built a criminal spot yet in Adventureland. I was, and am still toying with making a laundromat with a gambling room or speakeasy in the back or in the basement, but I saw Tedhi's video on her version of the criminal warehouse that sims can walk-in and decided to place it. She made it a cat jungle with a criminal rabbithole rug. I thought it was very clever, but she apparently left Sir Bricks-o-lot lying on the ground somewhere, and Geraldo spotted it, fell in love with it, and took it home. The Ganns were a rather boring couple, so I'm kind of glad something was introduced to create a little conflict.
