I May Be Taking A Break

BlogpostPublished: Mar 23, 2007Views: 952

First of all Seasons sucked the life out of my computer so...I need to make some changes. I don't know when or how long this will take. I need to increase my power supply, get a better graphics card and more RAM. I've been talking to some knowledgeable people here in the Sims community who are very helpful since I know absolutely nothing, and my husbands answer is to just call Dell, but I don't trust calling Dell until I know more techie stuff. Lol. Now he is wanting to know what my techie friends are suggesting.
Secondly I am having my kitchen torn out and a new one put in and I was so hoping that I could hide away at my computer while this was going on, but my game just lags and I have to have the graphics set very low or I am in deep doodoo with my game.

So kids if I submit anything it may not be for awhile.

Lots Of Love, Nancy

Hi Nancy!
I had the same problem. I ended up buying a whole new computer, but I still had to upgrade to a much better video card. Thankfully the whole thing didn't cost me much money (and it really was nice to have a new computer), but my game really doesn't run much faster than it did before I installed Seasons. So whenever the next ep comes out, I'm sure it'll mean I'll need ANOTHER new video card! :P
While they're re-doing your kitchen, you should make more walls and floors!! You'll always be my favorite wall/floor artist!!! $\:D$
Love,
Hyacinthe

Hi Nancy,

I know what you mean. All of my music files are now "glitchy" since I installed Seasons. It doesn't seem to matter whether I listen to music from the mp3 player on my computer or listening to music in the game. My hubby thinks that the people at Maxis have programmed Seasons so it overwrites some of the windows files (we're running XP). Hopefully they'll release a patch soon....

Love & Hugs,
