Avatars
POSTED ON 26/05/10
I want to update my avatar, but am only given 3 options to upload: my current avatar, and two male avatars. This is besides the fact that I have uploaded several females to \"My Studio\'.

Help?
Ambitions!
POSTED ON 26/05/10
I am really psyched about Ambitions! It looks like a great EP from what I have seen. I tried to pre-order, but EA\'s site was having issues. For hours it had issues. I finally gave up.

I\'m sure I won\'t have any problems buying it locally, so no worries there. Bring on the jobs!

I just realized that I have never tweaked my poor avatar. She still looks like a walking Candy Apple! (Seinfeld reference)

\r\n

A lot of things in RL kept me away for a few months but now that I have some time, I think you will be seeing a new blondee.

\r\n

Oh, jeez, I\'ll need to change my sig avatar as well. Meh.

HARD DRIVE COOLNESS
POSTED ON 22/05/10
OK, I installed my new 1 TB HD and so far so good! After re-installing games, I have 873 GB left! I only had 7GB left before. Whew!

Downloads, here I come...clothes, hair, furniture...yes!
Harddrive issue will be put to bed. I hope!

Well, as you may have read, my harddrive is driving me bonkers. I mean I am the type of person that, if I can\'t figure out or solve the problem, I just throw out the offending item and start anew. I am tired of deleting half my files, only to gain a few gigabytes.

\r\n

I started with 80GB which was more than enough for all of my Sim2 games. Barely made a dent. But with Sims3 I have 23GB free of 80GB! The only thing other than windows files on my computer now is the base Sims3.

\r\n

Sooo, tonight I said enough! I can\'t play the game in earnest because I am afraid I will lose it, not to mention the fact that no more EP\'s, Stuffpacks will fit. You have 23 GB! you say! BUT-when I had the base game, the EP and SP installed, I had only 7 GB left! Weirdness, you say? I totally agree. Something is way wonky. But I digress.

\r\n

Tonight I ordered a new Harddrive. Yes, a new one. How big, you might ask? 1TB!! Yep, that is 1,000 GB. Hah! Let\'s see what happens now! OK, I will be totally crushed if this doesn\'t \'fix\' my issues. Crushed, I tell ya! But I will be optimistic and hope that all this HD stuff just means my HD needs replacing.

\r\n

Sounds like a plan to me. : )

WHY?
POSTED ON 05/05/10

Haha! Why do I have all of these purple \'shrooms on My Page? (OK, no need to go there, I don\'t dance the psychedelic shuffle), BUT the question remains: Where are these little purple \'shrooms coming from? :D

\r\n

I think we all got one free, but mine seem to be reproducing! Ha! Too cool. Unless! *whispers* They are trying to take over the Site! : ~ /

\r\n

Hmmm...we must be deligent and keep an eye on these little guys! Shhh...they might hear you... : O

I Am So Frustrated!
POSTED ON 05/05/10
For some reason, my computer is showing that I have only 20GB left out of 75! I have deleted files till I am blue in the face (the number WAS 7.34!). I just don\'t get it. The game shows as using 6 plus gigs (base game only), and I haven\'t even re-installed WA or H-E Loft yet. (Much less any CC).

Why does my computer show that the base game is taking up over 7GB? Before installing the first time I had a boatload of HD space. It is surely a coincidence that all the space (except 20GB) is being used.

I checked Program files and it contains basic Windows files as well as Adobe reader and Flash (which I was instructed to install so that I could view this site).

Rambling here, probably not being as concise as I could be...bedtime! But one last shout out...Help me Obi-Wan; you are my only hope! : (

Bleh. Silly game. Silly computer. Silly me.

*help*

OH, BTW...

That Wish List I mentioned? Well, it seems that I decided to peruse the Store after posting, and whaddya know? I now have a wish list! *sheepish* Ok, I\'m a sucker for new stuff, is it a crime?

BTW, dear friends, loved ones...my birthday is August 9th. Just thought I\'d throw that out there, you know, in case anyone has been dying to ask me. : D
Are There Gremlins Afoot?

I seem to have a wish list. A wish list that I didn\'t create. How interesting! : D
Oh well. Yesterday my SimPage was in German, so why be surprised?

Coincidently, I downloaded the World Adventures EP yesterday so possibly the EP  put a jinx on my SimPage.  It couldn\'t possibly be a glitch, nein? : )

Anyway, I picked a \"throwaway\" Sim (what? You don\'t?) to go to China to deliver a painting that was asked for and while she was there I tried out one of the Adventures. It had to be a \'beginner\' adventure, because my Sim managed to complete it and gained a few coins, relics, stones,Visa points etc., in the process.

Since she didn\'t kill herself, I suppose now, I must allow her to live. Oh bother.
