Yeah, it wasn't really an official adoption, since he just showed up on their doorsetp, but that would have been their cover for it.
Fortune and Popularity always have good chemistry in my experience, even though they officially aren't supposed to. It makes sense, though, since the one with all the friends would be helping the career-minded sim, since the whole household friend count goes toward the career requirement.
Hateful wasn't really the word I was going for (that was more directed at ass-baby, which seems way ruder/meaner). It just seems rather insensitive to me. I know people just mean it to be funny (and it can be), but it draws attention to it as something "different", since they could just call it sex (Pixel_and_bean once suggested that we start using pussysex too, to be fair, and I think she has a good point there). I don't know... I get really sensitive about language sometimes (probably because I read too much feminist and gender theory writing). There's a lot of things implied in the subtext that we don't even realize half the time. But anyway... back to something frivolous....
I LOVE that outfit SO MUCH! I know I said it already, but damn. It's one of the best they've included with the game so far. Oooh, it would be great if it was converted to go with a skirt too, for the ladies.
Ahhh, but see... Middle English would most definitely be an accent to me. ;) But I see Strangetown as having a variety of accents. The Smiths might have hints of an alien accent from PT (who knows what that would sound like), and the Beakers probably have some sort of Scandinavian accent, given their name references. I get a bit of a Native American/First Nations thing from the Curious brothers (well, Pascal and Lazlo, anyway), so they could always have an accent like that. The Grunts weren't even from there originally, and they traveled a lot, so the boys probably don't have much of an accent at all, or it's a mix of things. And that's if you want to reference real world accents. It could be something entirely different. Pretty fun to think about.
I'm sure anyone reading it could come up with their own accent in their mind, if they wanted to. the only thing I'm really sure about is the Veronaville accent being sort of British (or a sim equivalent of it), since it has so many references to that in the architecture, and with the whole Shakespeare thing.
