The likeness is amazing! I wonder why it was rejected.......something this well done should be there. A grudge, perhaps? Some high ranking person wanting to do that one but didn't have the talent?
Great story! You left us at a real cliff-hanger of a spot. I really DO think you could make a living selling these as books. (of course, you would need permission from Maxis.)
This is a better site. All Sim2.com is good for is checking the news of upcoming expansion packs. I wouldn't bother with the rest. Hostility is something I try to avoid, so I keep my mouth shut and don't voice anything on anything on their boards.
