I'm not sure where I should post sidekick pics - I have some waiting and will post them either here or if I'm directed to a different thread.
In the meantime, the current picture in your posts is a very interesting looking woman (with the short blonde hair).  Is she a character in an upcoming drama you're working on?
Toni, my hoods do indeed burgeon (love that word). I'm using two suburbs, and keeping the map small enough so I don't have to scroll. Good intentions... Good intentions... and then you guys go and create more irresistible sims. (Note the paragraph above!!!) I'm encouraged, though, my old hood with over 450 sims crashed and crashed. So far, this one switches seamlessly between neighborhoods, CAS, house placement, etc. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
Toni is on a program - lots of jogging,  as is Elle, but it'll be quite a while before she comes up in the rotation again. |

My best guess regarding posting your Sidekick Chronicles antics and images would be
HERE. You can see that Ulli, Jen and Ari have already started new threads to share their SPSC adventures.
Unless Elle tells us otherwise, I'm assuming it's okay to start your own thread in that section for all of our SP gang antics!

Yes, this is correct, Sugah. Thanks for directing Sir Mac the right way!  _________________ It's Elle, Baby!  Let's eat grandma!. . . Let's eat, Grandma! . . . As you can see punctuation does save lives!  |

Yes, that is Cassandra Kitteridge, one of my characters from Arrendale Heights. She's one of my favorites, as far as looks go. I can't help snapping pictures of her when she looks so lovely. I'm still iffy about her hairstyle. I'm not sure it's the most flattering for her, but he edgy look seems to suit her.
I'm impressed that you're able to keep so many sims on a small terrain. In one of my hoods I'm using a small terrain with only about 50 sims and 10-12 households and it already seems crowded. I'm glad you aren't having the crashing problems you did with your old hood.

I think the hairstyle is just right!

I use a lot of small lots and maybe 10-12 distinct types. My favorites are:
7 Dove Rd, a 1x4 starter - this is my all-time favorite - by devagirl2 at MTS2 - a brilliant lot creator! 
http://modthesims.info/d/379901
Headland Row Starter, a 3x1 starter, this is my 2nd all-time favorite - also by devagirl2
http://modthesims.info/d/392148
While I was looking up these for you I also found this, a 1x2, and will probably add it to my 'hood: http://modthesims.info/d/307083
All of the above are suitable for 1 or 2 people, in a pinch, maybe a child, too.
I used apts when I started, but still have the problem with moved-out sims still hanging out afterwards. So I'm getting rid of apts.
For larger families, I rely on "Queens' Brook Blvd North" houses: http://modthesims.info/browse.php?tag=queens+brook+blvd&go=Go&gs=1&f=143&gs=1 they are all nx2. I'm using the QBBN houses for my sidekick families. 2 of these next-door with 3 sims each, and each sim has his/her own bdrm.
I also have a couple of rows of "Beach Terrace" houses.
All of these houses are very functional with little extraneous decoration, and I really pack them in. I do use a large neighborhood template and the neighborhood camera hack but still don't have to scroll. Here's a screenshot. You will notice Jen's Loftis at the very northernmost point - I'll probably be moving Alan Rickman (aka Servius Snape) in when he can afford it. 
I also am starting to use Downtown and Shopping sub-neighborhoods. The sims in these interact seamlessly with each other and the main hood. Don't use Univ, though - it comes with Univ-related extras.

| Sorry for the double post - but I wanted to answer SimEm. Now for what's going on in that 'hood. Derek and Julianne Hough - brother and sister - have been sharing a house He's Knowledge/Scorpio Dance/Dance and she's Popularity/Pisces Music/Dance. But along came Jen's Melanie Drianna (Family/Pisces Artist/Arts) and swept him off his feet with 3 bolts. Here he proposes and she accepts.  She's happy coming back from work "Irbay" and all that   The next morning she encountered Julianne at breakfast - not the best time to discover that there's another gal in the house. Take that!  Take that, yourself!   But they decided to be friends anyway...   Julianne decided to move out  - but in addition to the usual 20K, they made sure that she had 15K in her bank account so she can really set up a nice house. She's moved into a 7 Dove Rd., but it will be furnished very beautifully.   |

| An update on some new pairings... Jen's Marcello Jenni (hunky guy) has paired up with Cara Christa (a contributed sim on another site - long forgotten which one). Marcello is Fortune/Aries Adventure/Fitness, Cara is Popularity/Aries Espionage/Cuisine. Here they're entertaining Russ Caleb at lunch.  SimEm's Logan Varner Popularity/Scorpio Intelligence/Tinkering has found the love of his life - the (alas) late Brittany Murphy Popularity/Pisces Nusing/Science  Delphy Knowledge/Aries Sims2Designer/Games really didn't get along with Toni, a fellow game designer, but they did share an interest in crime, had a long chat about it and became friends.  Jen's Tovia Driann was another story, she's Family/Pisces PetCare/Literature. They're now an item. See some funny pics of Delphy HERE   |

| More couples - Toni's Francesco Toni and Sugah's Ella Warne  And here Jen and Patrick seem to have something going - Patrick, meet your maker!  Ari's Valera Aster entertains Elle, Nerissa, and Mac  It's time for Toni Broadswood-Smythe to grow up from baby to toddler. Here at her party are dad, Delphy, big sister Simone. Claire Danes, mom, and Mac  Simone condescends to boogie with "Uncle Mac"  My big sister is soooo pretty!  It doesn't hurt to have a responsible teenager in the family. Mom and Dad were busy partying and Toni needed a bath, Stat! Simone didn't even have time to change out of her formal!  Simone had changed for bed, but Claire Danes came into her room to practice chess. Simone engaged her in a game  With the party winding down, Nerissa, Delphy, and Mac hang out - discussing what??? If you haven't seen Nathaniel much, he was out in the yard looking through his telescope. (Every party needs a pooper!  )  I'm winding them up for the season. Next season, Toni becomes a child and Simone heads off to college. In the meantime, there'll be lots of weddings, honeymoons, and babies! |

| If any of you were concerned about Julianne Hough (she had to move out when Derek got involved with Melanie Drianna), she and Geoff Webster have become an item!  Devin Briggs toasts his new wife, Yana Briggs (nee Annamar)also there are Sharon Stone, Ella Warne, Dilyana Popova, and Ari Linares  Ella Warne just maybe sucked too much tinnie at the reception and lost her balance while dancing.  "I told you we shouldn't have Foster's do the catering!"  Devin and Yana stayed at a very posh hotel in Takemizu Village - posh or not, as they were waiting for the shuttle home, they just decided to chill in the forecourt  Devin is talking to his new son, Pete Briggs. There's a real-life story about that name. Waaaay back in August of 1957, I did the college tour. At Harvard, I talked to an admissions officer for around 15 minutes. He was 20-30-ish, very energetic and friendly. I then went back and did my senior year in high school. Next September (now 1958) I had barely arrived in Cambridge and was walking down the main street when I heard "Hi Dean!!!" Of course I had forgotten his name.  It was the admissions officer - Pete Briggs. I have never seen or met him since, but I will remember that name forever!  Nico Jenni toasts his new bride, Sandra Bullock. You can see Nico's sister Giada, just part of Marcello's head, and Milano (the brilliant sims clothing designer)  Sandra gets to know Giada, her new sister-in-law. I'm really liking Jen's creation - Giada Jenni.  More stale wedding cake!  Sandra and Nico have a romantic wedding dance. Meanwhile I think Milano found the extra bottle of champagne in the fridge.   On Twikki Island, Sandra and Nico are talking about starting the next generation. When they got home, Sandra presented Nico with a baby girl - Angelique Bullock  |
