Yet another reason I adore ACR...

As much as I love working out intricate plotty reasons for pairing up certain Maxis characters, and finding those hidden connections myself, sometimes I just can't be arsed. You know what I mean? There are all those bin sims and Bluewater Village characters that I don't really play with much (yet), but I want to have them living lives out there in the background, and ACR helps me to set them up in story-like situations quite easily.

( For example, see my Tara Kat. )

Also, I think I'm still on track for the next chapter, if you consider that I missed some time with the long weekend. I'll try to catch up a little this weekend, but I probably won't update until next week at the earliest. I also started a new job last week and caught the knitting bug really badly (I'm making a scarf out of bamboo yarn - really nice stuff), so there are distractions everywhere.
