I'm glad you appreciate the slower pace with their relationship. It's a lot for Nervous to even relate to someone as a friend, with all of his baggage, so I think it makes sense for things to happen slowly there. I know that some people would love to see things happen, and quickly, but that's not how I operate. At least, not when the characters seem to demand it.

I agree. Buck looks so in love there. That's a good observation with the oil tanks and turbines. I like it when I can get those landmarks in the background of shots.

Frances is an interesting sim, I think. He has a lot of potential, and now that I've added a family for him, it helps to make him a more rounded character. We'll get to see the other sisters work their way into the story too. (You're not fond of the university characters? Not even Stella? *gasp* I love Stella. And the Shifting Paradymes. Well, not so much Gunnar. *snicker*)

He thinks that Tank is beautiful. *smile* It's clearly more than just lust with Frances.

Heheh. The party will be fun, for sure.

Oh, I don't mind you asking about the CC at all (and I think I'll eventually add some of these to my CC list on the user info page). Edie's hair is from the Sim Artists Union, found here:

Who am I to deny someone the pleasure of having a femullet in their game? I just love that hair. :D
