Thanks, Peni! It's good to be back! I'm trying to get my playing/posting on before I get lost in a downloading haze (and I haven't yet tried looking at all the Christmas/Advent/Santa stuff on GOS or LJs...). I still have a whole 'nother round's worth of pictures saved up from October/November.

I'm glad you noticed the silhouette picture. I had them inventory all of the smaller personal effects from their rental house, leaving behind the larger furniture pieces that you might imagine would remain for the next students. So, very observant readers might notice all sorts of items that have come along! As for the smaller houses, I use *a lot* of walk-through blocks...

I never watched any of the TV shows before! All these things I never noticed before I started documenting my game.

The cow, she is pretty, but I do have a lot of Body Shop-created dormies/townies that I want to integrate before I start worrying about game-generated/template-faced sims. Though it could shake things up to have a very rude sim in my game, since I have a tendency to keep mine pretty well-behaved... Working on making things more interesting!
