I'm online again + some extras
Oh internet! How I have missed you. *rubs it all over body*
We finally managed to get our connection all fixed up today, when they sent someone over to replace the modem. Now it's as good as new. It was frustrating to be cut off from the net at home, and not just for livejournal and sim stuff, but it was also a nice break in a way. I must admit that I was dying to download cc the whole time, though. Am I really such an addict? (Oooh, there are new OMSPs in more subtle height increments. Awesome.)
Thanks to everyone who read and commented on my latest update. I will try my best to reply to your comments, though it might take a while to catch up, since I'll be out of town for the long weekend.
I did a little work on the next update while I was offline, but mostly I've been playing random households in various Maxis neighbourhoods. I've been having lots of fun with Alex O'Mackey (one of my favourite sims in the newer hoods). When I was younger, I created a character named Alex who was a female pirate (she didn't take no crap from nobody), so I guess it makes sense that I'd like her.
I spent quite a bit of time in Belladonna Cove, and I've noticed a couple of trends there. Almost every female toddler and child is wearing makeup, almost every personality is 4/10/6/4/3 (or close to it), there are a lot of really odd facial designs, a large number of Johnny Smith needle-noses, and the character bios are WAY longer than the older ones and a whole lot less interesting. Where are all the little details like clipping coupons and having an "unnatural fondness" for African violets?
I'm liking this Tara DeBateau character.
She's the adopted child of Armand DeBateau, a big-time CEO who lights his ornate fireplaces with $100 simolean bills. He decided to be a single father after he broke up with his girlfriend, Jessica, who was cheating on him. Tara is cute as a button (in that Face One sort of way, but with a more upturned nose), and she's a knowledge sim. She reminds me of one of the friends I grew up with.
Here she is setting Justin Cleveland straight after he tries to put the moves on her. Nice try, Justin, but she's just not that into you.
I'm planning to clone her and send her to university in Veronaville (it suits her wealthy upbringing), and I really hope she hits it off with Tybalt Capp.
Then again, does anyone ever really hit it off with Tybalt?
Only the most persistent. ;)

Wow. You've been busy. I really like the sound of hilly terrain and a superhigh porch. Interesting is always better than practical in my books (as long as all the sims fit in, and I'm pretty good at finding a way). The budget isn't a problem because Ophelia has a lot of money in her trust fund. She could afford a pretty pricey house.
I'd love to see what you have so far, if you feel like sharing.

The trio are inspiring in multiple ways - and it's fun trying to think of what would appeal to each. I'm thinking anything styled like his father's house would rather put Ripp off, for instance. Not very many happy memories there.
And woo! Okay, that makes it easier. I've picked three lot sizes and worked to each. I'll try to take snaps and post them today. :)

Yeah, that's true, huh? Ripp would want pretty much the opposite of a base house. I can imagine him and Phi being drawn to odd old houses, while Johnny would be concerned about structural flaws. They also have lots of hobbies to build a house around. I've had fun making the Specter place more homey, based on how Ophelia would help to landscape and decorate it.
I look forward to it. ^_^
