I think you're probably right about the style thing, and it being more of a "rock" sort of look. All good points.
It's more the blurriness that's an issue with the tee shirt for me. If you get any closer than the distance shown in the photo, it looks really blurry. I'm sure I can fix it if I work around with it some more.
I agree with you about the problem with matching Maxis tops and bottoms. There is a lack of decent top halfs. It doesn't make sense that the H&M Stuff included jeans, but no decent tops to match with them. The men desperately need some longer untucked shirts to go with the H&M jeans. For the females, I don't mind using the "untuckables" tops, and just tucking them in with the H&M jeans (since I do love those jeans, and females can pull off a tucked tee or tank better than males can).
That was an excellent analysis of the new character's bedroom. You noticed almost all of my clues, and you have interpreted them correctly (the only thing you missed was the fact that she's a city girl - you can see Sim City out the window). I love making the home reflect the sim who lives in it. It's a lot of fun to think of those details, and it helps to develop the character.
It's your experiences with ACR that make me think I might like to use it, really. It hasn't seemed to make things really crazy and unpredictable, but it has thrown you some interesting plot developments, like the thing with Ripp and Helena, and it gave you a couple of unplanned babies, which I like. Do you set every house up with the settings you want or do you just go with the default ACR settings. How strict are you about it?
I remember having some issues with Pescado's romance mod when I looked into it. Aren't all family sims set tp be super jealous, for one thing? It makes sense in most cases, but maybe not all. Does that mod look at things like niceness as a factor too? No instant loves should be added. I've been meaning to do that for a while. That would have prevented the whole Tank/Ophelia flirting fiasco (where I accidentally saved after they fell in love, because they left the lot).
I guess the family sims are just hoping to get down to breeding as quickly as possible. I'd have to keep a very, very close eye on Ophelia. I wouldn't want to have to run a paternity test (though I think the skin colour would give away the father's identity).
It should be fun. I see no problem with finding a topic to chat about or making some little thing to share every day. I have another couple of poster designs in mind. I'm going to do some posters for the bands. (I just wished they'd update SimPE for K&B Stuff. They posted an update, but now it seems to be taken down again.)
