Okay, I just got Free Time, and I feel like I totally wasted my money. I wasn't very excited about this EP when it was announced several months ago, (In fact, I actually thought it was a sick joke) And I am totally underwhelmed now that I have it. The game was running fine until it crashed on me when I tried to go to one of the secret lots. I have some sort of problem like that every time I install an EP. Even when I remove all my hacks. And at this point, I really don't care if it gets fixed or not.

The thing is, I am REALLY sick and tired of EA's shoddy and lackluster programming when it comes to these games. This is their damn flagship game for God's Sake! And yet in there greed, they would rather release a crappy piece of software just so they can rake in the money. To be honest, I really haven't played Sims in many months. I played BV for a bit, but quickly got bored with it and went on to something else.

I'm just tired. Tired of all the hassle that comes along with a new EP. I know that this will more than likely be the last EP for Sims 2. I don't think I will bother with Sims 3 when IT comes out.

I have been a part of the Sims Community for several years. The only thing that's really keeping me around now is my forum, and the friends I have made there. But when TS3 comes out, and Sims 2 goes the way of Sims 1, I will probably retire.

For the  past few months, my computer has been crashing when I play certain games. Sometimes I get a BSOD and sometimes just an error. I am on Vista, have 2 GBs of Ram, and my video card is a Radeon x1650 PCI Express, 256 MBs. I have a feeling the culprit is either the video card, the drivers, or some random crap on my computer. (And yep, I updated the drivers) It's totally pissing me off. Can anyone recommend a good nVidia graphics card that isn't too expensive? It has to be PCI Express, since that's what my motherboard has. (This is a home built computer BTW) I had no trouble for several months after getting this machine, this started only a couple months ago, and the computer is less than a year old.

I am going to reformat the hard drive this week, and see if that fixes things. But if not, I'll get the new card. ugh, like I want to spend any money right now. I'm willing to pay $100-$200. Any ideas?

If this is in the wrong place, feel free to move it.

Hey all. Meet Misty. My rl dog, only Simmed. I think this looks ALOT like the real Misty. You can install her like any other sim, and you will find her in create a Family under small dogs, Please, make her a genius. She will learn faster that way. And add a collar! Once you create and accept her, you will find her in the sim bin. And you can merge her with Sim Scotty's household! Have fun with her. And dont forget to feed her.
