@ChelleJo I do vaguely remember you :) It's been so long since I regularly visited the forum and I have only just started playing again after a 2 year break. I am so glad you have enjoyed playing Ian. He was one of the first sims I played after starting up again :D
Thanks for the lovely comments :) I haven't tried custom sliders yet, but I am finding that the EA ones can be worked pretty well with patience.
Edit to add: Just found a pic of Ian in my recent save
