I'm a sneaky updater. My next update will be even more of a surprise.

Thanks. It's the screencapping, for sure. They're so nice and crisp. I do have a couple of older photos that I'm going to have to use in the next couple of chapters, just because I've taken them already and re-shooting them would be a pain, but I'm screencapping all the way from now on. It makes things so much nicer. The pretty new eyes don't hurt either. :) Thank you for making them.

I usually include a sim in the teaser pic, but there wasn't any one central focus to this chapter, or any scene that stood out, but that shot is so odd, like you said. It's actually taken inside the spaceship, looking down towards the door the sims get sucked in through. Pretty cool, huh?

Yeah, Nervous has his Mohawk grown back to its full capacity. It really does suit him.

Heheh. I was wondering if I should include that line, but I think any room that Ripp spends a lot of time in would eventually end up smelling like sex, even if he's alone in there. :P He creates an aura of sex everywhere he goes. (But where is Johnny? Hmmm...)

That's a great outfit for Tank. It's very military inspired, but more casual. Tank seems hardcore enough to even dress that way on his own time. Tank, of course, has been grooming himself for the army since he was a child, a with Buzz as his father, I would imagine the promotions would come easy (or maybe they'd give him a hard time, but he's up for it). I gave him fortune as a secondary, btw, for the career factor. He wants promotions. Buck has fortune too, because he wants to buy tasteful furniture. Each aspiration can be used for so many different reasons. I love it.

I like that. It's not always easy to see the difference between S1 and S2, but it's more noticeable now, huh?

Frances was always skilled with a piano, but now he's trying to be serious about it as a career. You will get more info on that soon.

Thanks. Those little easels are very cute. Deciding what "stuff" to have on a shelf is one of my favourite things to do when decorating.

Isn't that a great look for him? I was really sweating it out over what to put him in (no, I'm not kidding - I take this seriously :P), because all the new outfits that I love for him, like the landlord's vest, seem too bulky for Frances. That liberated sweater mesh is an Aikea Guinea item, and thus has been slimmed down from a more typical male size. I usually do not like this at all for other males (like Buck - he needs the supposedly "bulky" version), but suits my idea of how small Frances would be. And it allowed me to use those pinstripe pants. I don't remember where those came from (it was a smaller site), but I love them for Frances.

I think Beau understands how hetero Tank is, so he doesn't worry. I agree about him being unconcerned too. He's probably not a jealous type. He has confidence. (Your implcations have made me giggle. He's a pretty small guy, though, you know.)

You mean your sims do not want a giant dick plant? WHY NOT?

Zelda's hair is from Rissa Styles. It's right here. It's a little shiner than Neena style textures, but still sort of Maxis Match.

Poor Mortimer. :(

This is the first time I've allowed Dina to have her way with Mortimer. It's funny because I rarely try to "fix" the problems of other Maxis sims, but I just didn't like her gold digging ways. I'm trying to play Pleasantview according to the suggested scenarios, though, complete with Don fleeing the wedding scene.

Dina/Malcolm is a great match. I approve.

Heheh. Yeah, I'll mention more when I figure it all out, but the Calientes are a bit of crime family. That mention of organized crime? That was about them too.

The SimVac is a useful item for such things. I've used it before for memory suckage, so I'm sticking with that theme. Can't say too much more yet.

It is Weather Reports on Don. I didn't alter the default for him, so that's what it should be.

We'll see if there's a connection there. There is some connection between a lot of these events, but not all of the links in the chain are necessarily involved in every action, if that makes sense. Again, I shouldn't say much.

You will find out in time. I promise. :)
