Hehe, I'll try to catch up here:
Cassie - Yes, you can make pink eyes, yellow eyes, purple eyes...whatever you'd like.

brmamitay - Aren't the facial features wonderful! I really can't wait for some of them.

As for your other question, you still build and buy from the catalogs.
Bat - As of now, the palette is rather basic and simple. I bet we'll be using the spectrum more than the palette, to be honest.
Chelikins - Hold it, your name is Michelle, correct? It's been so long, it seems! Hehe, well...I hope I'm right.

Anyhoo, thank you! I would have spent more time on it, but I was already behind the other sites as it was, due to me being on the plane all day yesterday.

And I was really crossing my fingers for more toddler/child/elder interactions, so I was happy to hear that they are working on improving them. I love your eye colour choices by the way...I use those a lot in my game now (CC, obviously).
Brittany - Isn't it exciting?! It's very hard to wait, but that'll make it even more enjoyable when we finally do get to play it! Actually, they didn't say anything about marriage. I'll have to start a new list of questions to ask them when I get the chance.

And for all that said 'thank you' - you are 100% welcome!
