That's is so so awesome. (Yes, I stand by my grammatical incorrectness!)

And so you should!

I sometimes worry about you Fred...

Not as much as I worry about you!

Which Sims program did you use? I've only experienced Sims 2 and there was not that much room for imagination.

This is Sims 2 with all the main expansion packs so far (University, Nightlife, Open For Business) - but the real spinach of the dish ('meat' for any carnivores present) is the fan-created content. There are some brilliant people creating out there! Some of my favourites are:

Barnaby Cruxton-Smythe tells me he finds the sartorial elegance of your establishment to his liking, and shall make a note to have the carriage brought round one of these days.

Many people are unaware of this, but Barnaby Cruxton-Smythe is actually a distant relation of Michael Denison- an English actor I'm sure you're aware of.
Coincidentally, when doing research for playing the role of Algernon in The Importance of Being Earnest he found a collection of Dagurrotypes which showed he bore a remarkable resemblance.
I've searched the internet high and low, and the best representation I could find is actually here in the original trailer for the film.
I think it's bizzare that I couldn't find a single photo, but the trailer was here.Barnaby Cruxton-Smythe was known about town as the kind of bored aristo who would pay almost any amount of money to be entertained. Quick Witted with a notoriously short attention span, Barnaby speeds to an idea like a Quaker to unshucked grain. He is extremly popular(while quite coquettish) with the ladies, and would outrageously exhibit similar behaivour amongst the gentlemen.Still, he was a quick hand at Baccarat and knew his way around a bottle of Gin- and was thusly tolerated ( ... )
