Yeah, I'm learning that it is alot of research.
I have a brand new battery, but not sure if it is strong enough or not, I'll have to look further into that.

I ran dxdiag to get system specs, but I have no idea how to read or understand some of the things to figure out what kind of graphics cards would be compatible with it.lol.

Is that listed in the manual somewhere? I still have the manual that came with the computer, so I can check it, but I didn't know it would be listed there...

Is there a way to tell if my laptop is capable of installing a new graphics card?

I pulled up dialog reports to check my system specs, but I am not computer savvy enough to know exactly what it means.

I believe I have PCI slots available on my computer according to the report.

I also know that I may have to upgrade to a larger harddrive if I do that, but I think my memory can handle it. I'll list my system specs just incase someone knows how to read it better than me. I also have more detailed specs from Everest if they would help more.

Thanks!

Maxis eyes have always made me feel that way. I'm sure there will be good default CC eyes put out for sims 3.

Or at least I hope.

My LTWs have been all messed up to. I have a pleasure sim with the want to marry off 6 children. *shrugs*

I use snagit to get pictures, not the ingame camera.. and my sims picture folder is 58.7 MB and there are 432 pictures.
And I reformatted my harddrive a few months ago.

Will the digital download still have that minimum install? Because for all the EPs I've bought online, there is something else you can buy with it to have the ability to download it as many times as you want for 2 years.

OMG SERIOUSLY? I'm completely sold on this EP now.. Just have to get rid of securom.

Babies can do something, toddlers can interact, and there are apartments. AHH!

xXevermore: Julie Walker was the name of my high school valedictorian. LOL. She's cute.
sheikb: I LOVE her hair.
timberario: two pregnancies at once. That's always fun.

I have a few pictures of sims in my prosperity challenge.
First, Brittany Mccoy, pregnant with her 4th child(first pregnancy though).




She had one little boy, named Camden.


And then, Camryn Willingham, pregnant with her first baby.




She had one little girl, named Yasmin.

Twins in my prosperity challenge. They started as toddlers, but I don't have that many pics of them then.

Yeah, I agree the pirates will fix it.

And as for inteen, use the independent teen option with insim mixed with a teen woohoo hack...

AHH the new screenshots make me really want this pack now.

The toddlers were hugging!

You have to hit the allow button on the dialog that comes up when you first start the game and then restart and it will be there.

Ok. Yeah, I only will use windows for simming. But as long as I put the pictures in a file on the desktop I can open them in mac and edit them. Thats good to know.

Oh ok, well that works then.

I have one more question. If I play the game on the windows version, will I be able to open the pictures/screenshots I take in game in my mac version or will I only be able to access those pictures when I'm playing on the windows partition?
