    @Anemone7 you've missed the threads I've seen. Really nasty hateful comments directed at the recipients of a gift. This image was stolen from her private social media account (not harvested from her public account) and then used to cause trouble.
    The Gurus came out to say it's not a hint and I'm not personally comfortable with allowing a private gift to be used in a way that could cause distress. Essentially the CEO'S wife is a victim of what's happened.

    We were promised toddlers. We are allowed to be angry, annoyed and say so. I just don't think in this situation it helps our case to be using something stolen from a private account. We have enough valid reasons for our position in why we expect toddlers without it ;)

    I don't want to repeat myself, but I don't think there is such a thing as a "private social media account". I of course know what you mean, but I guess you know my position on that.
    SimGuruDrake allows us to discuss about it, so I think as long as we don't say nasty things about the family, it's absolutely ok to "use" the picture as another argument showing we need toddlers, but I guess we just agree to disagree on that.

    The thing where I agree, of course, is that sharing this picture does not say anything about the character of either the CEO or his wife and they should just not be a topic in the discussion (other than that the render was specifically made for them, to make clear it's not an official render).

    And I understand and in a way I agree to some extent with the social media thing ;)

    I just want to avoid the drama caused by people taking it as a personal slight from invading the thread. I'm just as annoyed as anyone that they refuse to talk and are trying to wiggle out of giving us what they promised but I think we have more than enough to support our position without all that :)

    That picture is priceless. :D Too cute!

    My status took a few minutes to update itself. You could try logging out and logging back in, see if that helps speed up the process :)

    Sparkfairy already knows a bit about the family I am playing, but this is Lilia:

    9D5ongt.jpg

    Her dad is a single parent, because he has commitment issues, but he's happy living on his own with his daughter!

    This is the house, made by yours truly!

    And this is Lilia fast asleep:

    I am really enjoying play this family :)

    So cute @picklesthecat114 <3 That's a really cool house.

    Thanks, though I don't think I'm a very good builder. Some more pictures of the house:

    Today Lilia and dad went to the summer festival in Sunset Valley:

    Looks like Lilia has made a new friend:
