Frances is making some progress, isn't he? He's still obsessing, but at least he's making some progress with his troubles too. Changing majors is a big step, since that won't go over well with his parents. He's supposed to follow in the family footsteps, not become a penniless vagabond poet, playing his piano in restaurants and clubs (oh, I suppose that gives it away a little... so I may as well say that he's going to become a literature major). I'm glad you like Edie. I'm having a lot of fun with her, given the added freedom of an original character.

You mean Charlotte, right? (Don't worry, I'm sure Frances mixes all those sisters up from time to time too.) You do have to wonder how pragmatic that pairing is. They have excellent chemistry in-game (2 bolts), if that's anything. Fortune and family sims go well together, and Malcolm can take care of business while Charlotte stays home and tends to domestic things (with lots of hired help). It's a workable arrangement for both of them.

Those Brokes are pretty cute, aren't they? I like them. Beau even has a sort of Nervous Subject quality, with the nose, chin, and thin face.

Pascal's character bio:

"No matter what happens, Pascal believes there is a logical explanation for everything. In his free time, he practices home psychoanalysis and collects conspiracy theories."

I like to work those things in, when I can. ;)

Lazlo is a suit just seems so WRONG to me too. *snicker* It's not his style.

I'm so pleased with Vidcund's children (and Mint is cute too). They just aged to children in the game, so I look forward to showing them off. And they transitioned into very useful clothing for developing characters, so that's a bonus.

Thanks. :)
