Yeah, communicating is not always straighforward (or easy) when you can't see the other's face.
I have managed to organize and archive all the households in the old save I found. There were 22 households and 78 Sims all in all. Enough for an all-Alvi town. Thankfully, I did make a family tree over at the Family Echo website which is invaluable for keeping track and sentimental reasons. Unfortunately, I have had to say a permanent goodbye to a few family members who have been lost to the void. On the other hand, I look forward to continue the legacy. It is not a normal family though and most people would probably choke on whatever they were currently ingesting if they learned how everything is pieced together. But it is my crazy and most beloved Sim family, not to mention the largest I have ever had. Plus, nowhere does it say that I can't go in new directions with it from here on

Now, my hands and fingers need a wee bit of rest.
