Ooops! I forgot!

I just realized I forgot to update you all on my re- install progress and results! Sorry about that! Well it worked, I still have a little lag but I can live with it and my game is now playable again sadly I pretty much lost everything (CC and saves) so I'm starting over after a years worth of play... I'm just at a complete loss as to what to do with a fresh new game, I have no idea where to start! Ok, I lie... I do have one idea but I'm just not sure yet... The idea is a 30 day photo challenge, basically it's trying to re- create photos of real life happenings Sim style, it looks like fun but time consuming so I have to think about it and decide if I want to commit myself to such a project... I guess we'll see!

PS: I know I still owe you all one more confession, I really thought I'd be done by now but my procrastinative nature gets the best of me at times, just want to let everyone know I didn't forget!

Critters are like family....

You wouldn't do this to your family would you? Why do it to a helpless animal? 




My husband and kids still haven't been adopted! They only have until tomorrow afternoon to find them their new home. After that, they'll go to the shelter and we all know what happens there.


I'm really doing what's best for all of them. 2 weeks ago I brought a new boyfriend home. Apparently, my boyfriend and husband don't get along at all. They do nothing but fight and I'm afraid someone is going to get hurt! So I've decided to keep my cute, new boyfriend and place my older husband with a new family.


As to the kids, I just found out I'm allergic to them. I've only been around them for 18+ yrs, but all of the sudden, I'm allergic. They are giving me headaches so they'll need to go.


My boyfriend and I are going to start a new family someday soon. I'm not allergic to babies, just the teenagers I already have. Besides, the new house I rented is too small for everyone, there's just enough room for me and my boyfriend.


One woman was interested in adopting my daughter, but she said if she paid the entire adoption fee (which includes braces and contact lenses), she wouldn't have any money left to buy new toys for her.


My youngest son was almost adopted too, but they found out he digs holes in the yard, bangs against the fence and makes lots of noise when you leave him alone for more than 12 hrs. They decided not to take him.


Don't worry about me, I'll be alright. I know I'm doing what's best for everyone. I'm going to be doing lots of traveling and it just wouldn't be fair to keep my current family. I just don't have enough time to spend with them.


Please, please,please adopt my husband and kids before they go to the shelter! You'll really love them a lot.


PS Don't criticize me. I couldn't possibly rent the house with the old carpet that was big enough and would allow the rest of my family, the tan carpet really doesn't go well with my furniture.


I could never give up my new boyfriend either. He's just too cute and I want to keep him for myself! He's much more fun than my old husband is.


I could never think of anyone or anything else EXCEPT MYSELF!!


Sadly that's how poor homeless animals get homeless to begin with.... Not to preach but please do your part!

Good luck with that...

Sorry Julia526, I really don't mean anything bad but I have to say *sigh* not another one....

I mean how many sim forums do we need? And now we want them to be kiddie friendly and drama free!?! Not going to happen.... Need proof? Here's why...

There is one on every forum (if you don't know what I mean then you don't get around much lol)... This one will be no different, I could be wrong and I hope I am so good luck and I really do hope you do well... 

First post of 2012!!!

       And sadly it's a whining, bitching, pissed off post! Why? Because my game is broken!! I know I've been lucky for over a year now and had no issues until recently so I guess I can't complain to much but I will anyway, grrr!!! It all started with the latest patch, as soon as I updated my game I ended up with major lag, lag, lag! Got that fixed by turning advanced rendering off (Thanks Brunettesimgirl!), but then I got Pets for Christmas... Thinking ok YAY I install, that's when the issues made my game pretty much unplayable... First I go into CAS and notice my critters had black faces, no big deal I'll just turn AR back on, fixes black face issue...Yay again right? Sooo NOT!!! Now I can't play at all unless I am willing to wait 3 real life hours for my sim to use the toilet...  The lag is just to much, I have tried everything except a complete re- install and I do mean everything! Updated graphics card, removed all mods and CC as well as all store items, cleaned all caches, reset entire game, blah blah blah, this worked for about a day (and I lost a TON of stuff in the process!) but then the serious lag returned... My computer far exceeds all system requirements for the base games as well as all the EP's & SP's and I keep it cleaned and optimized so it's not my computer. I really don't want to re- install but I'm at the point where I don't know what else to do, I hate that I have a years worth of game play that I will most likely lose but maybe a fresh game for a new year isn't such a bad thing, it will also give me an excuse to go CC shopping again lol... Ok, I'm done whining now, just had to vent, now I go and begin the tedious and annoying process of a complete re- install, hope it doesn't take very long and it better freaking work!!!!

Happy 2012!!!!!

Hope you all have a safe and happy new year! May all your dreams come true!

I was going to post a confession today but I'm afraid I've had one cocktail to many and I don't want to say things I really shouldn't say lol so see ya next year!!!!

Be happy and stay safe!! New Years wishes from Vegas Baby!!

Confessions of a Simaholic... #9

Only one more to go after this, I'm gonna kind of miss thinking these these things up lol...

Simmer Confession #9: I have a long list of "Things I've never done" in my game... I have never sent a teen to prom, boarding school or out to play pranks on the town... I have never played out the firefighter career, daycare career, inventor career, ghost hunter or military careers among others... I have never blown anything up (and I really want to!)... I have never teleported, reached level 10 in any career, maxed out any skill, found a gnome other then the laundry gnome, taught a teen to drive or made ambrosia... I have never had twins, bought food from the food truck, had a sim in a band, crashed a party, visited the consignment store, completed a collection or went back in time... These are just a few examples of things I have never done, there is plenty more I can't think of at the moment!  Looks as if I'll be playing for a long time because I want to try everything at least once, looking over this brief list really makes me think I should be actually playing the game more then talking about it with my fellow simmers lol... Not to mention I just got Pets which adds a whole lot to the list...

Me by the time I finish trying everything---->>> 

Real Life Confession #9: I don't drive... I haven't since I was 19 years old, I have vision issues and got my license taken away lol, not because I was in an accident or hurt anyone but because I couldn't pass the eye test to renew... I miss it even after all these years... You really can't beat the freedom of hopping in the car and just going wherever you feel like, whenever you feel like it...At the same time I don't miss the stupidity of other drivers, expensive maintenance, gas prices and yet another thing to keep clean... I know I could probably fake a test but I'm afraid of hurting someone I would never forgive myself... I have only had one scary experience with me being the driver and it was almost backing over a dam, I was only 17 at the time lol, no harm no foul and I won't take the chance again, good thing I live near the bus stop (practically in my backyard) and my Hubby doesn't mind being my personal chauffeur...

See the little dividers in this pic? I backed over those, I mean completely over to where I was stuck almost hanging over the side....

Well the other side leads to this!! That was freaking scary!!! No question as to why my boyfriend at the time broke up with me lol, it was his car! Oops!!

Ahhh... the good old days...

Merry Christmas!!!!!

I hope all of you have an amazing Christmas!  One of my favorite Christmas characters learned a lesson we could all use this time of year....

And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled 'till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more. - Dr. Seuss

It really is about something more, I think we tend to forget sometimes....

May Christmas bring all that you hope for and more....
