Evette and Evonne look like they're headed for some trouble. If Ewan was a dog, he'd probably be crowing about a chance to have twins, but it sounds like he's too nice.
Electra has a pretty scary profile there. She doesn't look bad from the front, but I can see why you gave her that hair style. Her sister looks absolutely gorgeous, though.
Of course, you've got such a wide mix of genetics in the neighborhood. It's always fun to see what the pairings are going to come up with.
I've been wondering how much you push your teens with relationships. I know you tend to work on the relationship over the phone with the phonehack, but for gatherings, do you generally just let them run free and see what they do?
I'm trying to be a little more free like that, but it's hard. :) I was playing the Thompson house and the twins turned teen (thompson twins! ARGH! Haunted by cheesy 80's music!). There aren't any playable boys their age who aren't dating their sisters, so I just had them crystal ball in a couple of compatible townie boys. It was a pretty mediocre time.
I was also wondering at what stage do you allow relationships to stick. I'm thinking I may end up having some problems with second cousins gunning for each other. I won't have them living together at Uni, but still.
At the moment it seems as if everyone Evette has bolts for has more bolts for her twin. I can see there being some resentment and jealousy over that. Ewan really is a doll though, I can't see him taking too much advantage and if he did he wouldn't be one to kiss and tell.
Electra's profile is just funky but it can't fully be blamed on Draco's alien genes. Danya has a large forehead and well Dov's profile is weird as well, so it comes mainly from the Familiar side.
I really don't push teen relationships. I have them build friendships, anyone that gets drug home from school becomes a friend. When I have them work the phones they just call the highest non friend on their list. Sometimes it's a teen sometimes it's a townie. At gatherings I'll check the panels of the playables and see if there's anyone in the group that's ready to be best friends. If so I'll send them over to tell a joke or bust a move. For the most part I just let the kids take care of it all on their own.
Most likely with the Thompsons I would have made the playables go around and do entertain -> joke then chat with the new folks, just to break the ice. Not every gathering is a huge success, there's plenty of time.
I rarely think about commitments until sophomore/junior year of uni. Usually by that point everyone's had a chance to mix it up a bit and get to know a variety of folks. It's generally fairly easy to divert someones attention and distract them with someone that would be more acceptable.
