Thanks! Glad you like!

Yes. She seems least like herself, somehow, despite needing no custom
colors. Maybe that's the problem... If I could get a bow into her
hair...

She is Utena's "BFF" which is cute. She lives with the rest of the
Seitokai, though (I moved her in after the rest, so you don't see her
with everyone else in the first shot).
She's friends w/ Shiori and the Kaoru twins as well, IIRC. Also maybe
Saionji--I haven't done a lot of intentional interactions in that
household (it's hard managing an 8 person household) so most of the
relationships formed are the Sims doing their own thing.

It's a womrat, which is a unique Sims creature, but yes, basically
fulfilling the hamster/guinea pig role.

I think she'd look better if the back of her hair were wider too, but
the hair that has the "braid crown" look falls in a narrow way.
I should also get her a better shirt that suits her (but I like the
hideous yellow jockey pants for her).

There is a "Stretch Skeleton" cheat you can turn on to alter sizes a
bit, but it just increases/decreases length IIRC, without
proportionally increasing their body width, etc. so you have to be
careful using it or it will make people look a little odd. It can also
crash your game if you overuse it, and I haven't used that many
cheats. If I were to redo it, though...
I think one of the big innovations that's supposed to come in the Sims
3 is much better variation in Sim body shapes, both in height as well
as girth. You can create a giant obese man or a tiny pixy like girl or
anything in between.
Shame Sims 3 is probably also going to have the invasive DRM software
on there. I'm not really inclined to purchase EA's products when they
produce games that make it harder for legitimate users to run (while
pirates still have no problem cracking the code and distributing the
game). If you're gonna punish me for paying money for your game, I'm
going to stop paying.
