MissyHissy.... I love that this all started with a bunch of pals heading off to uni and now they have scattered after graduation ...it is so real life what with some friends and some not so much ....it is incredible how your rotational play has grown from the original eight...i bet all those stories are fascinating! Just recently i changed to 28 day seasons...I don't regret it either...it affords a tinge bit more realism. I can see where eventually there would be friendship culling ..esp as your rotational community grows ....this is my new favorite way to play the sims ..it is continuously exciting. Thanks for sharing your way of getting your rotational play started and how you kept it growing!
