I don't have a floorplan of Natalie's apartment (except in my head); but
there's a description of it on my website, with plenty of pictures:
http://ca.geocities.com/gwatson2@rogers.com/sets.Nats.htm.  You may find
that helpful.  But, if something is unclear about the relative location of
things, e-mail me; and I'll try to describe the location more clearly.

I'M NOT ALONE!!! :P

I've had Trek ones too, before I rediscovered FK
LOL... ya know what the worst part is though- when my
baby brother starts interferring with my
neighbourhoods and I come back to them to find
Nicholas deBrabant shacked up with Suzy Homemaker!!!

The grief of having to hook him back up with Nat...
I'm tellin you, the writing crew never had that much
hassle even with the multiple bimbo of the week/Roman
death threats/ psycho male dates/ not-so-ex ex's

Good luck with it Amanda...you'll need it LOL

 Seems like there's quite a group of us playing 'FK' in the Sims 2! I have a
town called 'Brabant'. Nick and Nat are married (they currently have five kids
and are working towards their goal of ten), the Schanke's live there, as do the
Stonetree's, Cohen's and Reese's. LC, Janette, Vachon, Tracy, Urs and Screed all
live there too, but they are all single. Maybe we should have a list for all of
us FK Sims 'geeks'...

Sorry, Light Cousins. I didn't forget you, I simply
thought of you as a sub faction of the Cousins in
general. (in "General"! get it? ha ha ha ha ha!
...never mind.) but seriously, GSS sounds like an
intriguing group.  May have to try that next war.

The other day i got caught at the Library reading a
book of names; come to find Nigel, according to this
book, means "Dark Night"! just one-a those weird
things. I mentioned thid to [sister] Megan over the
phone and she said it had been mentioned before a
while back.  So sorry if everyone already knows this.
but i was amused.

I did it also with the original Sims, but now that you can create
neighborhoods from scratch.  So far I have the loft finished (had to
get a grand piano from a dload site) and the Schanke residence
finished.
This is the hard part - building everything.  I can't wait until I'm
finished to the can actually interact with each other.

I find the idea of Nick shacking up with Suzie Homemaker funny, I had
to go move my car this afternoon so I just left the game running...
when I came back, Nick was best friends with some blonde Maxis chick.
 (Nat's place hasn't been built yet, so she's not available yet.)

Another think I found interesting is on the Sims exchange, I found a
Dr Natalie Lambert and a Janette.  I made my own but I did find that
interesting.  Amazing, no Nick, though.

Ummm, actually you have it sorta backwards. As far as I know
the GSS are a sub-faction and have never played independently
of the regular Cousins. I think all GSS members also consider
themselves to be Cousins.

That's not true for the Light Cousins.  The Light Cousins are
an older faction than the NA and have played independently
of the Cousins (in WAR 9).  And many (in fact most) Light Cousins
are not declared Cousins at all.

In War 10 there were barely enough interested to play independently
so in that war (and only in that war) the Light Cousins played
as a group under the umbrella of the Cousins (we were individually
subbed both to a Cousins-war-list AND a LightCousins_war-list).

The Cousins have always treated us very well with a standing invitation
that any Light Cousin who wanted to sign-up and play along with the
regular Cousins (as a guest) were welcome.

In wars 11 and 12 there were two or three Light Cousins who accepted the
regular Cousins's invitation and played along with them.

Probably *I* contributed to the confusion because also in War 12,
I volunteered to be 1/3 of Cerberus (one of the leaders of the
regular Cousins).  In other words, I was LEADING a faction that I
am NOT a member of!!!!!

I don't *think* any of the regular Cousins had any complaints that
an unqualified Light Cousin was leading them. <g>

In one of the the war posts, the Cousins had a ceremony wherein, I
was forcibly given another affiliation (still in my .sig) of
HNLCAHW -- Honorary Non-Light Cousin (Against Her Will).
http://sky.prohosting.com/fkwar12/warposts/20/20-C-Against%20Her%20Will.TXT

I'm *still* not a declared regular Cousin.   *giggle*

both Season 1 and Season 2  in the TV Series section.  I was very happy to see

 I was on a Sims 2 site to get new items, clothes, etc., and there was an ad
for the Sims 2 on Amazon.com being sold by Greg Kramer. Guess since FK's no
longer on the air, Greg's gotten into the software business, eh?

    I don't have Sims 2. . . not sure if it would work on my computer, which
like barely meets the minimum requirements for it :-( . . . but I can make
vampire Sims on my old game.  All you have to do is download a vampire-blood
moodbooster (like the one on this page:
http://www.aroundthesims.com/objects/food_17.html ) and make your Sims drink
it whenever their needs start to go low.  I haven't played in a while, but
if I remember right, it fills up all their needs, so they shouldn't need to
eat or go washroom or anything.  No idea whether anything similar exists for
Sims 2, though.

You click on the mailbox and you can choose "Make all happy".  It
fills the need.
For anyone who is playing and wants some fan made objects and such
you can go to http://www.modthesims2.com

Thats where I got the piano.  My Nick looked awesome playing it - I
took  some photos for my 'story book' from the same angle as the
show.
I'll have to check there for some vamp stuff.

This is great!  I thought I was the only geek doing this.  Did we
stumble upon another faction? <g> Anyone got a name??

I'm almost positive that is a different Greg Kramer. One has a lot of gaming
books out, while Greg "Screed" Kramer writes short stories and novels.

Oh, and how could I forget to mention that "our" Greg is also still acting,
doing voice overs, and directing. He has done several television series since
FK went off the air ("Once A Thief" and "Neverending Story" come immediately to
mind), and a lot of stage work as an actor and director.

I had Nick and Nat sims for a while.  Their daughter was named Fleur.
 They were in "Strangeville" or whatever that town is called.  Their
best friends were Lois & Clark Kent and Peter & Mary Jane Parker.

Crossover ideas, anyone?  ;)

SWEET! I can hardly wait! (Yes, I'm a crack addict, I admit it. Some play

Oh if anyone is looking for something specific for either the Sims or the Sims2
let me know. One of my friends makes TONS of stuff for the Sims and Sims2. She
is a mod for quite a few sites so if she can't make something she can probably
tell me where to find it! I'm thinking of asking her to make a motorcycle to go
in the loft I created.
