it let's me open NTI and get to the screen where you add tracks. I don't have anything to burn, but if the program loaded and got that far, can I assume that I'm OK?

ok so since I don't see a removal tool for kitchen & bath, is it safe to assume that it shouldn't have any problems like the others one have? Cause I just installed it and ran it and now I'm panicking.

have you tried opening it by clicking the exe file in the TSBin? I get that error for  BV when I go through the launcher, but not when I go directly.

My Computer>>DRIVE LETTER>>Program Files>>Ea Games>>EP Folder>>TSBin>>Sims2EP7.exe (or something like that, I only have up to BV)

Ok so, let me be blunt (and I'm in no way trying to be offensive or anything) but I'm white. So, as a child, I played with white barbies. When I play the sims, a majority of my sims (not all, I've got some other varieties in there as well) are also white. It's not a racist thing at all, it's just what I'm comfortable with. I don't even think about it, it just always happens that way. And frankly, to anyone who might be concerned, if the way I play my game offends you...I'm sorry, but it's my game. And that's all there is to it.

See I think we are somewhat programmed to hate. It's like it's hardwired in our systems. It's stronger in some, and weakest in others. Some people grasp straws just for the sake of fighting. You just gotta let it roll over you while you just roll your eyes at them.

not really, I've seen worse on real soap operas and lifetime movies. It's not going to be like, porn or anything. Just the 'themes' won't be for the prudish types. And of course, that's what the warning would be all about.

I must say, I really like how AL is sounding. WITCHES! But the whole SecuROM makes me very hesitant. Only reason why I haven't gotten FT yet, cause as much as I love the game, I don't want to kill my computer.

2.27 GB atm. Soon to grow again I'm sure.

My game opens in about 10 minutes and my loading screens under 5, but some parts of the game are slow and jerky. The makeup screen in CAS is really slow.

So to make my sims more interesting, I'm going to write a soap opera and post episodes on a subdomain off my website. It won't be for the faint of heart, but there will be a warning to viewers before looking at it. But soaps need interesting and dramatic plot fillers, and my pervertedness can only create so much.

So far we've got Daniel (who is a girl, inside joke lol) who has a boyfriend. Her mom is a callgirl who eventually gets knocked up by Daniel's boyfriend. Poor Daniel is so distraight and vulnerable, that her English teacher Lorraine (part of that inside joke) seduces poor Daniel who also in turn gets pregnant. (I swear on passions once, like ALL the female leads were preggo). Daniel won't give up the fathers name because she fancies herself in love with him, plus he's her teacher and she's not 18 yet.

Then Daniel's long lost father suddenly returns! He's come back for a divorce with his callgirl wife. Because he wants to skip off to canada to marry his gay lover. But there is another twist here. The gay lover, Nimue (also part of an inside joke), has a past with Lorraine! Turns out, they were once lovers in college where Nimue found out he was gay and Lorraine was just 'experimentinig'. It broke Nimue's heart and he ran away. Now he's back and there is still something there.

LOL that's what I have so far. But that's just a couple of episodes, I need MOAR!

So maybe something about a drag queen or a sex change operation, I dunno. I used to watch Days of Our Lives when I was younger, and I tried to watch it yesterday but it was just like...so confusing and boring. Oh yeah, someone should definitely be thought dead and come back. That's always interesting.

And it needs a really awesome name. Gays of Our Lives? Is that too racy? lol

Thanks for any help!
