+ first week of summer in year 1
+ i admit, i got brock & natalie together manually: in order for that particular party to get a gold medal, flirts & kissing were required
+ this is part of why i later installed wicked whims for a while. none of my sims were interacting romantically with each other on their own, or rolling up wants to.
+ i love costume parties
