Roof Raiser

Well, we did it. We're so married right now. Everything went very well, and we had a blast. You know the party is a roof raiser when the DJ asks you if you ever get tired. I laughed, I cried, and I have the ring to prove it. My memory panel has "had a great wedding party" in it. It was just about perfect, with enough mishaps and zany antics to make it truly special. We couldn't be happier.

Thanks for all the wedding well-wishes! We're off to Bermuda for a week now, and I'll probably do some thinking about Strangetown while I'm lying on all that nice warm sand.

Yeah, that was his transition outfit. It really seemed to suit him, so I kept it.

I don't worry too much about the clothing that the sims are wearing in Strangetown, as long as it suits the character. Buck and Frances wear sweaters too, and Jordan's scarf could always be made of cotton (or linen, silk, or bamboo, etc.). I've noticed that people who live in a warm climate are often less aware of it anyway... and I also have no idea what you'd actually wear in a desert... anyone? Wouldn't it be just as bad to wear something that exposes your skin?

So, yeah... they're sims, so I don't worry about that too much.

As a resident of a very Strangetown-esque climate...

I gotta say, you'd have to be completely insane to wear a heavy fabric like a sweater. My friend was wearing a sleeveless wool dress tonight, and was still dying. It's not the skin coverage that matters, it's the material.

But yeah, I don't actually notice the sweaters. I think Frances looks too cute to take his off. Besides, La Fiesta Tech always seems like it's in a perpetual state of fall to me anyways.

Thanks for the info. I'll try to keep that in mind, even though I can't see myself changing a perfect character outfit for the climate... we'll just have to assume that the fabric isn't wool. As a knitter, I know there are numerous options for yarn that would work in a warm climate. Knitted items aren't always warm.

I have LFT set to perpetual fall, so I guess I think of it as a bit of a cooler desert, if such a thing exists. I reserve the right to not make sense in a sims story. ;)
