You know, I'll be completely honest here and say that I was pretty conflicted on how to portray Willow and Gabriel's scene. On one hand, you're absolutely right I could have kept things simple. But on the other, I did feel at this point it might have been safe to include more detail, particularly from Willow's point of view. I didn't want to go overboard, but I didn't want to necessarily wash over this particular moment. So I'm not sure if I took the right approach or not, but in the end, I decided on a balance and thought I'd hopefully get honest reader feedback from it. So I'm totally glad that you offered it. :)
It's strange, I don't necessarily shy away from sex scenes but I was particularly conflicted because this was the main character I'm dealing with. I could go on about the merits and the disadvantages of scenes like this but I think this would be a huge discussion that probably wouldn't be suitable for the comments section of this chapter. ;) Definitely a topic I wouldn't mind discussing. I love how you make me think about writing, but I think I've mentioned that before. :D
Anyway, moving on. Adrian, yes. No, I don't think Adrian is going to do a blatant 180° and start wanting Jasmine. But he is like 9 or 10 nice points and I do want to capture that aspect of his sim personality in his story self. And Jasmine is right to some extent... he is a Popularity sim so he has constant fears of people falling out of friendship with him and such so I figure he doesn't necessarily want to see anyone hate him because of something he can't help. I hope that made sense.
As for offering sims up... I've only ever installed sims with clean installer or through the sim installer, so I don't know if that would work or do anything adverse. But since I will be needed extras for lots of different things in the future, I don't mind waiting for you to sort things out if you'r still interested in sharing your sims. ;)
Thank you so much for the comment. Sorry my reply was so long!
Oh and P.S. About Wesley's sweater, lol. It's okay that you hate it. I made Wesley a while before I even envisioned him in this story and at the time, I thought the outfit that I just found on MTS looked pretty cool. Now, it's a part of his personality almost (at least in my mind). you'll see it again, because Wesley isn't the type that changes very much. Personally, I'm tired of seeing it too, but I've put him in a number of different outfits, I just haven't found anything that suits him for this story.
