Aww, thank you. Though I'm sure you have far too much faith in me. My worst fear (besides putting everyone off) is that it goes back to generation 2 style again: 'Your mother just burnt to death in a house fire? Oh that's a shame... Slide of people crying for about 5 minutes done? Good, life goes on!' and 'Rick and Allen? Er, are you sure they existed and weren't just in your imagination?' *shakes head*
Hmm. See, there were 23 sims in generation 3, but that worked out okay because I could simply ignore about half of them, besides having them as extras and stuff. But then there are 15 Rymans and first cousins alone in generation 4, not to mention the other important people, and then they're all having kids... I guess (and am hoping) that it'll be less daunting when they're actually born and characterised a little more, rather than just a list of figures to wrap my head around... I'll probably stick bits and pieces over here, but most of it's going to tie together somehow...
I love that idea. In my mind it works like everyone picks a character and I tell them all about what's going to happen to them, but: a) that'd make less sense because then they wouldn't understand /why/ what's happening is happening, and b) I probably wouldn't be able to shut myself up at the edges of the characters. Same with plotlines, most are difficult to separate from each other...
My first exam's on the origins of the American Civil War, then the International History of the State, and then Contemporary International Affairs. And I'm wincing at all of them, because I haven't done too well on the civil war one so far, I don't really know anything for the state one (though somehow managed to do rather well on the essay), and the affairs one if worst because it has /both/ of those problems. Sigh, can I just do rubbishly and have Summer already? *hugs*
