Yeah, plus Sims 3 child Malcolm was just a Good, Bookworm, Ambitious little button. SOMETHING happened to make him like he is in Sims 4 and my vote is the stuff with Johnny and his parents.
The Caleb and Mortimer thing was a surprise, but strangely compelling. But you just KNOW Mortimer wants to be a vampire and he has to start somewhere? XD
I'm just now learning where everything is on the Sims 4 side of the forum, but I've found the WHIYGT thread and I'll be diving right in for sure. Sims + fanfiction, my favorite new OTP.
