Trivia

 * The series was originally going to be made using the more elaborate Sims 3 games, but technical issues had it reverted to the more convenient Sims 2 games.
 * During the Sims 3 stages, the series was going to include four "guardian angels" to Liam and Aaron named Georgia Sawyer, MaryAnn Cellars, Elizabeth Thatcher and Tammy Stevens (a character still existant). These characters had special powers (courtesy of the game's in-game mechanics when installed with the Supernatural expansion pack) which they used to help the closeted couple. The idea was scrapped to make the series more realistic and further the theme of self-determination and strength the two must gain through this harsh experience.
