Seriously and publicly, HUGE thank yous to you.  You would not believe what these guys went through to extract my Generation Eight sims.  It was like something out of freakin' ER or *House* or the medical drama of your choice.  

I'm hoping to start cleaning and aging up and zipping up the files.  I always like to export them as adults, and once I've done that I can clean them up from CC and label them and make them available for download.  But meanwhile I am just rejoicing in having Penelope!  --and Ulysses, and Achilles, and Max, and Lucy and Carmilla.  And the others, of course, too, but they are my nearest and dearest.

I'm way behind on writing that paper--my own fault, I'm just being lazy--but after that I will probably forcibly grab a little time to put together the next chapter.  A lot of it is shot and sorted already, and I already have a cover.  

Thanks again, guys!
