Wow, got to this one just in time - the electricity's gonna be off all morning and I wouldn't have had time to read this if I hadn't checked before breakfast. Lots of development here and yay for Goldie even if it does mean rousing Dixie's ire. I know Dixie's mellow but don't forget how low her nice points are - she'll warrant watching, especially given how sensitive Goldie is. Boyfriend and pet in one round - things are looking up for her. Now if somebody'll just think to help her with Mount Homework...and she'll find out what happened to Candy soon, I hope

Glad you got the chance to read it, I laughed my way through writing this one so I was hoping the fun would come across! Attack-Dixie was just the way it had to be, I couldn't help it, but David was right that if push did come to shove Goldie would wipe the floor with her, giving her more reason to distrust 'them quiet ones'. But that would have to be a situation where Goldie has no choice but to defend herself, otherwise she's outta there! None of that means Dixie's giving up the grudge, though! Too bad for her but not really, I'm loving Goldie/David. In a larger hood, dating Mr. Popularity himself could have repercussions as she tried to keep up or defend against other girls after him but so far here he's been really good for her

Yeah, it's a real shame about Sandy's nose. Statistically somebody has to get a kid with it eventually, and sometimes the rest of the face configures around the Hart nose so that it looks like it might grow up into hers during the toddler stage (at least to me. I'm not good at facial recognition, which is why the sims I make look the way they do). But so far in all the iterations I've gotten a look at, by the child stage nobody can kid themselves about it without a powerful motive

I think the romance secondary was the clincher for me to let Sandy move in; he may not believe it but while Rhett doesn't want a wife, Sandy doesn't want to be a wife. Not his, anyway. And she's also taking refuge behind Valentine, hoping to fall off Rich's radar. Funnily enough, Rich and Lana and Daytona and Val are already in position for a sort of alpha showdown amongst the elders (their kids, even the middle-aged ones are so not ready to take over). While the conflicts overlap the teams are clear and with Rich/Lana's united front officially dissolved that leaves Lana as the wild card

So David and Goldie are threebolters! That must have been a nice surprise. It was good though, that it took a little time for them to hook up, the journey there was really sweet. Not so much with the drama this time, more of a feel-good chapter. I felt very relieved that Sandy and Proxy moved in with Rhett.
And the details in your pics - the awesomeness just keeps on building. Both sims and hood start to feel real, and the way you take and arrange your pictures, I get a little "open-hood" feel about it all, a bit like "Simtopi".
That was a wonderful surprise because I already wanted them together. Dixie was only using him for kissing experience anyway and David was happy to oblige and keep his 'skillz' up. Alas, poor Woody, who will be the backup for his backup lusting now?
I did hesitate about moving Sandy and Proxy in because in my head I had planned to play out her finding her feet and starting a business, and hopefully she still will, but she wasn't exactly relishing her independence. She may come to value it more after being thrown in with this lot, though.
Drama lite, since the stakes are negligible with the kids, but I had an awful lot of fun doing this one. So glad you liked it! (SimTopi is one of those really popular stories that I haven't actually read but are on my list, like S,HWC. I always feel like I need the time to really go through them. But I definitely love an "open-hood" approach, especially for a town this small with lives already so entwined.)
