Oh man, I like building Sim houses so much more than making them live their lives. I get bored with that very quickly. I mean, it's a struggle just to make *myself* get off my ass and go to the fridge, why should I go to the effort for a bunch of pixels? I think this is why I do not play the Sims more often (in fact, I think I got rid of my copy when I moved). But building houses was fun!

I'm glad your family gathering was fun and not hideous :)
