considering they have a wireless printer, isn't it time they upgraded the monitor? :D

Yeh she is. Highly dedicated is Jen. It's more that Jass would want to test her programming somewhere =P

But its not really a wireless printer. It's a really smegging long parallel cable thats been taped to the skirting boards & the legs of the tables to hide it well. Like I said, Jen is dedicated =P

Hee hee at Jacinta going to work for Maxis! :D Loved that little detail! And I love all the CC in the morgue. I'm a sucker for all that medical stuff!

((hugs))

It was too tempting to make it Maxis! Glad you liked it; I was kinda worried people would hate that, thinking it was a cop out.

Mike's lab scenes are so much fun to shoot. Generation 2 is long gone in game, but writing those scenes is too much fun. So I installed a backup from when they were alive, went stupid building the lab & shot 3 scenes. & then made another backup of that one so I can replicate it again XD

[hugs]

ok firstly lets hope Jass can help maxis eliminate any of the bugs in their future games.

its good to see that mike is being upfront with jass about his dispute with gilbert. the last thing they need is any more rifts forming in the stripe clan. and the hostility that jass has towards her father is not surprising. Gilbert has never been the most grounded person in the world. but he was good to Miranda.

And to see Jass moving out of the Stripe house will be strange, but she is Miranda's daughter, so i am sure she will be determined enough to make it on her own....and she does have holly.

......and yes....mike has a morgue.....

Who's to say that Jass isn't behind those quirky little bugs. Or maybe, just maybe, Jass is a game hacking member of MATY. Mwahahaha!

Mike & Jass are very close. He's old enough to be her dad & often acts like it. Definitely more than Gilbert ever did.

I think Gilbert was really only good for Miranda because she didn't want a serious relationship after Nervous. Gilbert wasn't around all the time & she only had to deal with him when she needed to, so she never really cared that he was an atrocious person. She new Jacinta didn't need him, so it didn't matter.

Admittedly, the real reason Jass moved out was the lot was lagging too much for me to play. 6 sims and a cat was too much for the desktop back then & so Jass & Holly got their own place. But it worked well for the story too, & we definitely haven't heard the last of Jacinta.

& yeh. That morgue. Haha. Watch this space =P
Shhhh... spoilers.

Thank you so much! I loved building that lab. It took hours, being that its massive & has those CC ceiling tiles in every room. There are six rooms off that hallway, not including reception & the major lab at the end. But the CC hunt was great fun... there's even an MRI machine XD

Wow! Thats one hell of a comment. Right. [tucks pen behind ear & sets in to answer]

1. I loved Aka & still miss him. He was so easy to write & so fun to have on the lot. Later generations get more furry friends & they get to have their POV shared. Plus there's now Holly & cats have a decidedly different perspective to dogs =P

2. & 3. I love that you saw those! Thank you so much for letting me know they made you laugh!! Now all I need to do is coat your work PC with coffee & I'll have extracted my revenge from reading Peculiar!

4. There's more on Gilbert later. [winks] I love your description of him, an item from the decorative tab of buy mode. He really was. Miranda still loved Nervous & did not want anyone to replace him. But she was lonely. And after long stints away in space, a woman has needs. [smirks]

5. His genetics are still present in Gen 6! [grins] I love this family. Really I do. The thought of losing his ghost & Aka's had me ready to go back to a Gen5-pre-uni backup. Those ghosts are vital to this ( ... )

Me? Loud? *snort* Only a little. (which means a LOT and I really do snort--frequently--when I get really laughing).

I'm a classy lady, that's for sure.
