@CathyTea: Thank you so much for having read my legacy and given me such thorough feedback, I really appreciate it!
It's reassuring to hear that my Sims aren't falling flat on their face. I was afraid I was being too distant with them. I am getting more attached to CeeCee though (unfortunately, Generation 1 ended too soon for me to grow to love Candice as much :( ) and I'm glad that can be read in the story :)
As for the tip about the walls - I'd read that in another blog and I always forget to think about it when I'm taking pictures. Thanks for the reminder, I'll try and be more diligent in the future. It's true that now that I look at the pictures where I did raise the walls, they look a lot more intimate than the ones where the wals aren't up!
I'll give the autonomous romance a shot in my pinstar/random legacy. For the challenge I'm currently doing, I think the rules on the spouse are too limiting to let my heirs be totally autonomous. I would just get too impatient hahaha.
It's true that toddlers would be a lot of addition work, especially considering that school and work are a lot more challenging now. But, still ... I felt like it brought the parents closer when they had to teach those toddlers some essential life skills (or made them more distant if they didn't!)
Thanks :) I have big plans for CeeCee that I'm anxious to get to. My problem is that I always want to rush the storyline hahaha. Gosh darn Sims for having such long lives (and I have an age-reducing mod too ... that's how impatient I am hahaha!)
Will you be posting up your Three Little Sims challenge when you get around to it? It would be a lot of fun to read :p One Simmer in the challenge forum posted some screenshots of her attempt at the challenge and it just cracked me up!
