@EnkiSchmidt - Ah, thanks for the comment about it being heartwarming. I have tried to make Elfie a happy-go-lucky elf, who really isn't too versed in money matters. And, yes, just bringing up the Winterfest Festival has sims thinking about all the fun they had when they did attend, and sort of gives them that added incentive to donate some funds. That was the theory at least. In reality, the only sim who didn't give Elfie a small loan when he asked (twice) was Simon Scott, Sara's husband. lol Elfie even took 2 photos with him to get their relationship up, but Simon wasn't budging. That old Scrooge! lol
