Whee, good to see AiP again! :)


Congrats on finishing the rebuild! Those are huge undertakings. I'm looking at my first this generation, and I'm slightly dreading the amount of work already. I think the idea for a separate rebuilding hood is a good one. :)

Too bad Skye has had such rotten luck with her spouse hunting so far. But the new hair looks great!

Aww, Alexander and Ivan are such cuties. And I should try out the kite flying some time. It's one of those things I've never tried, despite having played the game for years and years. Also, yay babies! :)

Clearly, Leila has a way to deal with Cat. :D

Helen became such a cute teenager, and continues to fit right in with her daddies. Too bad Celeste didn't live to see it. :(

Aww, Sally and Troy! What a sweet renewal of vows. <3 Also, ooh, chocolate fountain! That's pretty cool!

Penny is growing up interesting, I'm curious to see what she gets up to.

Hehe at Nicholas and Drapaudi's lemonade stand. :D That was cute. Poor Fantine, though. :(

Some of the little pets are like that. You feed and feed and feed them, and still they're hungry. And don't gain any weight. On the other hand, some of mine come along with surprisingly little food.

It's sweet about the sims not caring about stereotypes. I hadn't thought about the handclap games - for some reason my kids rarely play those - but that's a cool one too. I also love how leap into arms happens both ways. :D

Oh, and good to see Goldberg and Silent Lady again, too! ^^

Good to be posting AiP again!
It's still a little bit of a pain to rename all the files in the rebuilding 'hood when you need to use it, but if you have a batch renamer, that problem goes away. It makes a lot more sense to build and lay out in a nice clean unused 'hood so you don't have to do it twice!

I'll find someone for Skye yet, you see if I don't! And Skye's hair was made especially for her by amylu1988 -- it's a Nouk hair with Remi colors. Amy's pretty awesome. :)

Rose and Dmitri are going to wear me out with their constant baybeez! But the results are cute cute cute, so I can't complain too much.

Straight bribery is pretty much the only thing that works with cats -- they'll only do something if they feel like it, so you have to motivate them.

Helen is the perfect kid for that household. Celeste had a little more time in the old 'hood, I think, but it was always going to be close.

The chocolate fountain is a conversion from TS3, and you can get it over at Leefish. I think it's by Honeywell. (amovitamsims did a decorative version, but with Honeywell's, you can eat the strawberries.)

I haven't quite decided for Penny yet. Something to do with cars, though -- of that I'm sure.

I feel a little bad about Fantine, but I do have my favorites. Nicholas and Draupadi are cute kids, I agree.

I think it might be a glitch in the custom pets (another conversion from TS3, this one from bienchen on MTS), but it's not a bad one, so I don't mind. :)

I like how unprejudiced and unstereotyped the sims are. Anyone can be anything and do anything -- it's great!

Goldberg & Silent Lady are my SimStoCreMo challenge this month. :P
Thanks for reading and commenting! :D
