Wow, 400+ relationships? Phew, that alone is quite some work! Let alone everything else you've gotten done.

And it's looking nice too. :) Yes, you've made good progress and it's nicely done too - you can be happy with what you've done!

*cheers*

Yes, although that's counting all the relationships both ways: Phoebe to Chant is one relationship and Chant to Phoebe is another, even though they are married. It is a lot of work, but you know, it's about the same as I always do, and SimPE makes it easier. It's just soooooo tedious!

I am feeling pleased with how nice things are looking just now, so I'm going to try and keep that feeling going to inspire me to rebuild more. :)

Thanks for the cheers -- I needed those! :D *hugs Katri*

This is all sounds like a LOT of hard work! Well done for sticking with it! The 400+ relationships would be enough to put me off!

It's all work I would have ended up doing anyhow, but that doesn't make it any less tedious. And all the relationships are double-counted in a way: Phoebe to Chant is one relationship, and Chant to Phoebe is another, but you can actually set both of them in the same screen in SimPE.

Thanks for the encouragement! :D *hugs Sam*

Looking good Esme, but phew! You go to more trouble than I would. I think I simply set everyone in a family to friends and kept any BFF from outside the family and that was it. I didn't bother with exact relationship points as I figure they could regain those. Not that I actually counted so it could be more than I realize, but I don't think it was 400, I'm too lazy! :P

Do you see how many Sims I have?! And they all know each other, and half of them are all related, and a lot of them are at least friends if not best friends. (I also restored a couple of relationships that were negative, since the sims had gotten themselves to that point and I thought it was fun. Did you know that Old Adam and Anastasia can't stand each other?) Come to that, some of the sims had developed a better relationship in the high-fiving each other stage of the process than they had originally, so I let them keep that.

I think I went to about the same amount of trouble in my last rebuild, except that I couldn't get the relationships quite as precise and it required a LOT more clicking, which was not a good thing.

I'll get to play soon, maybe even before the new year! Yay! :D
