Having Cody living upstairs, that could be a start of a sitcom. Especially with Grandma dropping by to ask nosy questions and making naughty comments. But I think Sims was set up for that.
I could easily make a written story about what's happening in Moonlight Falls, but one sim-fic is enough. That being said, it really surprises me that the game I'm not writing anything about produces almost as many plot-bunnies as my TES game.
The flirting thing, yeah. It can be disappointing. When I played Saje it felt like he had to make all the first moves to connect with Aryon, then when I swap over to Aryon it's the same thing! It was autonomous giving flowers all the time, but that tends to die down, just like rl.
The lack of flirting from James surprised me because he is essentially a human Neldor, and as we know quite well, Neldor can barely keep his hands off Aeronwen. He is always stopping what he's doing to make flirtatious jokes, pay her a compliment or kiss her. James on the other hand continues to treat Gloria like his best school friend. Sure, Gloria could be the one to initiate it but as a lady she doesn't feel that she should do the pursuing.
Cody flirts but not excessively. Just enough for Gloria to feel flattered but not uncomfortable. A compliment here, a flirtatious joke there, then back to friendly interactions. In other words, James is screwing up and doesn't even realize some competition is now living in Gloria's hayloft.
