I wanted to let y'all know that I am making progress on Frankie's bio. Unfortunately there's a lot of material to cover, some of which I'm trying to be sensitive about... although a sledgehammer approach would not be inappropriate, all things considered.

Also, some stuff will be left out, as it will be in the final episodes; nothing major, but I don't care to spoil anything if I don't have to.
On an unrelated matter, anyone who plays the game and creates their own Sims2pack files needs to know that since
Bon Voyage was released, a high percentage of Sims2pack files created with the
Body Shop program contain one or more extra package files; each such file is 6.64 MB in size and contains over 1500 resource nodes. These files are useless dead weight that serve no purpose. You'll need to use both SimPE and the Clean Installer to find, identify, and get rid of them.
One wonders what brokedness awaits us in the Sims 3.
