Thank you Kiri, Yes, Quebec... well we are not a country. We are one in ten provinces in Canada. But we are the only one with french as a main language and Montreal is the second french speaking city in the world after Paris! Don't get me wrong, I speak english, I read in english, I see movies in english. But being surrounded by english speaking people (the rest of Canada and all of the United States) and also with a vast majority of immigrants learning english and not french, we are so afraid we are going to loose this beautiful language and culture. But no... our flag is not considered a country flag, so it makes sense it wouldn't be on any downloading website. Thank you so much for offering to make one for me.

What a fun way to play. I loved seeing the way each of the houses developed differently. Very cool.

Thank you Whitney. Actually I am only at the stage of putting everything (and everyone) in place. As I play with a clean game, I plan on having all those children becoming friends and then going to university and start flirting... I hope they will all find someone they will want to spend the rest of their lives with

Oh Sylphide! How wonderful I love that you have families from all over the world and they match their houses and flags! I so love carrying through on a theme :) And its cool you have a Berber family. My husband is Berber, he's from Morocco. I can't wait to see the rest of the neighbors!

Trystiane, thank you for your kind comments. We don't know each other, however my introduction post says most of all you need to know about me, except I retired from work on October 5th. I read yours and found it very interesting (teaching). At work there was an administrative tech, such a beautiful woman men's eyes would pop out and she was Berber from Algeria. That is why I chose to put in that family. I have almost finished my Russian family (but they had surprise twins on the second pregnancy...) so I will post next week.

Thank you. That was very nice. Actually, I think we are very lucky to have found this peaceful and fun little nest where we share our Sims, but also get to know each other. And Kiri is a wonderful webmistress.

Thank you Charlie Chomper! It's been quite a while since I updated this link and I have been very busy with creating my new families. So here is an update. I introduce you to the Liepa family. They are Russian and of course, Svetlana is a world famous ballerina! I already showed you the outside of the house with Bibi's outside walls, but here is the family and the house. The outside of the house: First floor: Second floor: After playing with it a little bit, I found this house is the least playable arrangement with the staircase completely on one side of the house. They have to walk a lot to get to the stairs, then to the children's bedrooms and then back down again. I won't be using that floorplan again. And by the way, Ludmilla has started taking ballet and she seems to like it!

Next is the Diamacoune family. I wanted to have a bi-racial couple. She is one of Lyran's beautiful black women and I wanted to use her with a white man. I loved so much the story I made up the last time... simpixels3.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=simstalk&action=display&thread=2161of course I won't have the 7 orphans to use this time but I am keeping the african family name. oups! I just realized that I had to change that upstairs nursery a bit with the twins...

And my last post for today will be the Ruiz family from Spain: I have to admit I am pretty happy with the outside of this house... and the inside also cost them a bundle! I still have 4 families to go before I can consider my neighborhood is really going and I can start making up stories. The last family will be the gay male couple. I am waiting to see how many girls and how many boys there will be by then, so I can plan for the sex of the orphans they will adopt. Also I have a male friend who never played the Sims and from what I am telling him wants to try, but on my game! We plan a day of playing in May or around the summer. He says he going to really shake up my game. At first I thought I would start a new family in another neighborhood, but the more I think about it, the more I think this could be fun. My sims are very reasonable, it might be good to change that a bit...

I really like the Mexican house. Aren't ATS's Mexican objects gorgeous? I've always loved them. Looking at these is so fun. I like seeing the little things that make the homes unique like the band room in the Seymour house, the various kids' rooms themes, and whatever is happening in the Lefèvre bedroom. I'm seeing so many objects that I miss having in my game! And Lyran's gorgeous wallpapers! You'll have to tell us how your playing with your friend goes!

Thank you Whitney and Thea. I am glad you enjoy it. I haven't used a lot of downloaded furniture yet except for the nursery and kid's bedrooms. When I get to that stage, I have about 18,000 to 20,000 simeleons and I have to build all the second floor, so there is usually not enough money to upgrade the parents bedroom. It will come... Also I don't think I could live without Lyran's downloads in my game! And of course I will tell you all about my friend messing with my game, erh... playing with my game.
