OK so are you a "junkie"?  Do you have trouble not downloading stuff for the Sims?  I'm probably the guiltiest person of them all.  I've got so many downloads that my game can't even read them all at once.  How many is that you ask?  Oh just 70,000 some odd files all together.  No big right?  Well it's kinda hard not to when there are such talented creators as we have here on TSR and other sites.  I'm constantly jealous of my Sims.  They've got a ton of things I wish I had.  And of course there are a ton of other reasons why (no owie bars, motherlode, labor and delivery are done in minutes and they get their figures back........I'm so jealous) I'm jealous of the digitial people we call Sims.  But back to the addiction thing.........  I prowl the internet for goodies for my Sims/me to enjoy + anytime I can find something that would look nice in my story or make it better (I know I have not written in a while I just have not felt up to it.....too owie).  So I have to juggle folders so that there is always a few Gigs off in a folder on my desktop, I've hardly got any room on my computer anymore, and it runs quite slow in general cuz it's so bogged down (did I mention the 19Gigs total of custom content on my computer? ), and so as you probably guessed it......my game is slower than malasis to load & lots take quite a while, and a family with a bunch of custom content & their memories take even longer.  So I have this little argument with myself all the time "you have too much content as it is"........"Oh well.  I love it!  It'll look great in my game" "My Sim ______ needs this for their house"  I think you get the picture and can guess which side wins.  I can make some pretty nice homes using maxis.......but I can make some AWESOME homes using custom content.  I wouldn't be able to make my stories seem as real had it not been for custom content.  I wrote a story about a family who camped 24/7 all year long.......but I did it before Bon Voyage came out.  I would not be able to write the story about Matt Wheeler who uses a wheelchair like I do if not for the talents of windkeeper to make the wheelchairs he has, & then tdyannd was nice enough to make a shower-chair to make my story even more like "real life".  So I find myself having load of ideas as to what I want to do with the stuff I got and then rather than just being content to play with those things I surf the net because "you never know what you'll find".  I just hope I don't kill my computer......it's the only one I've got & since I've got a limited income I don't have the money to buy a new one (it would have to be a laptop because I go back and forth from laying down in bed to being in the living room in my wheelchair).  So am I the only "download junkie" or am I just the worst?  But hey if there is anyone out there who is even worse than me & has even more than 70,000 files I'd love to know........so I can turn in my crown as "Download Diva".
