and every day there's a little less difference between the two

Slightly grumpy that holiday sims are already up and running, I went on a search for ones still in autumn mode. I found one--Malal Autumn Fall.



Where it's also raining.



Was I here before? It looks very familar.



This doesn't, but that doesn't necessarily indicate I'm wrong about having traveled here in the past...



It's pretty, though. I give it full marks for pretty.

Maybe what I need is something less sprawling, more intimate, less...rainy. How about the Autumn Cafe?



Tiny little parcel. Little coffeeshop in a caravan, a cuddle pod, and a stand of encircling birch. Not terrible.



Small inside the cafe, by design, but still. Room enough for some (limited) seating, a small counter, some espresso machines and baked goods. All you'd need, really.



Still. Coffee inside, cuddles outside, crisp fall day...what more does anyone really need?
