These are great! I really liked reading about them. It's really nice to see how everyone interprets the maxis characters and you did a fabulous job.

Aww, thank you :) I too have been enjoying how differently people interpret these characters, although it still amazes me just how different they can be for different people!

Aww, Dina and Kaylynn *hugs* They both seem tinged with subtle sadness, and Dina's bulimia story and Kaylynn's missed university opportunity are so believable. As I've said before it's lovely to see a sympathetic take on Dina as opposed to the 'gold-digging bimbo' Maxis seem determined to portray her as.

Love the little details like the nail-biting and the Daniel Pleasant autograph... and what an awesome explanation for a hobby I'd have never associated with Kaylynn, tinkering! That's a really good way to look at the more unusual or out of character OTHs that seem to crop up in-game. Fabulous stuff! :)

Thank you! And those hobbies can be so out of characters as you say, sometimes it takes a very long thought out reason to justify them ;)

Most, ,most excellent! You make these characters live.
I so enjoy your writing style.

You always say the nicest things :D Thank you!

A lot of these are so telling, such as Dina's crush on the teacher and Kaylynn's religious upbringing. Keeping all these new facts in mind, I can't wait to see what you do next with these characters :)

Thanks for doing this, Kate :)

I love to ponder how different moments in a persons life shape their character.

Thank you for the tag, it really makes you think but is a really good exercise!

Thank you and in plenty of incarnations in my game she's been the gold digger :D

I'm glad you liked the TS3 part, it's kind of fun to try to work it in although sometimes it's just implausible!
