I had no idea they were this pretty. Sandra is particularly gorgeous. Great job!

Thanks. ^_^ She has funny eyes, but I suspect she'll grow into them. :)

LoL! No, she really doesn't; she always has weird eyes. :)

Sandra & Xander are actually two of my favorite premades (probably because I married them into my alphabetacy...). I love what you've done with the family, especially the retro theme! Very nice!

Sandra is kind of fun. I think (as an opposite of Cassandra Goth, who's quiet and introverted), she's active and speaks her mind, so I see her as a tomboy. I haven't grown Xander up either, but he looks like he'll be cutie. ^_^

Thanks!

Xander is adorable, but I never know what to do with kids. Hehe.

They look great, I love the retro theme!

Thank you. :)

Love the makeover, makes me think of Mad Men. :) I never played the Roths much either, but now I'm wondering if I should have.

^This.
I first thought that Stella looks a bit like Betty in that picture where she's sat smoking, but then Morty was in a suit with hair like that like Don, and don't the Drapers have a daughter and son too...?
But that really speaks for how good you made them look, and how well it was decorated :)

I've only seen one or two episodes of Mad Men, but I did troll pics for inspiration for these. :) Thank you very much!

Well, I figured if the Goths were the "Addams family", then the Roths would be the "Cleavers" (from Leave it to Beaver). I think I took the "sophisticated" cue from Morty's bio and thought of Don Draper.

The Second Chance dare was really a perfect excuse to play families that never interested me before. :)

This is great. :D I love how you decorated it, it's so well put together. I especially like Xander's cowboy & space themed room! The makeovers are also awesome. Morty's lookin' sexy.

If I ever get to it, I have plans for Xander to follow in his dad's shoes and be a space cowboy. (It'd suit him better than being a space pirate, IMO).

Thank you, I'm so happy you liked it. I won't lie, your Riverblossoms HIll started making me appreciate the hood more.

meetme2theriver February 3 2012, 07:28:52 UTC

Heheh, Space Cowboy. I like it.

Aww. :) I did notice your Stella has the same hair as mine. It suits her very nicely, I think. :) The Roths were one of the hardest families for me to really get into. Putting an effort into making them over was very helpful, though. Imostly ignore the Goth parallel, their storyline is a very different one anyway.
