Another Lot Soon
As I mentioned in my prior entry, I did get a lot done this weekend. I repeat, A lot. One. Uno. I'm so disappointed. I thought surely I could get two done. The one I did do is bigger than my last two and frustrated me to no end with roof issues. But I got it done to my liking and it's fully furnished and decorated, ready for sims. All that is left is to snag some photos of it, do the techie stuff, and upload it. That should only take me three more days. LOL I didn't play at all this weekend so I still want to put some sims in the house and let them run around for a bit before uploading it. My simmies always try out my lots for me, and if I can happen to catch them in a shot or two, even better.
I also had to run my game with custom content disabled. Darn thing won't uninstall a piece of CC and I get an error message and the game won't run. Hmph. Yeah, yeah, I read up on a few things in the forums and I'll mess with that before gutting the whole thing and reinstalling. It's a little soon for me to reinstall. Sheesh. I just need to get the bad file out of the game somehow and I'm sure it will be fine. Maybe I broke it. I dunno. I won't think too hard on it since it's easier to just reinstall than troubleshoot for 6 weeks THEN reinstall anyway. I contacted EA but they just said they got my email and asked if I had tried troubleshooting measures before contacting them. Um, not to be too picky, but... read my email guys. All the questions they listed for me to answer were already covered. Duh. Whatever guys. I'll figure it out. I always do.
Time for randomness! So, can anyone tell me why babies have favorites? I mean seriously, how does a baby know what falafel is? How does it differentiate between the music genres at such a young age? It can't even talk yet but somehow it knows it likes Roots best? And turquoise. Turquoise? Really? Red, yellow, blue, maybe green and the others, but turquoise? What? How does a baby know? Get a clue EA. I'd like to see the favorites change with every age, not some stupid reward thing. Just make it part of aging. C'mon, not every little girl loves pink until she's old and gray. I dunno. It just seems like a really unnecessary thing when a sim is born. "WAIT! It doesn't have its favorites assigned! You CAN'T take it home yet!" I will add though that the little blankie bundle of joy is much better than the poor naked things we got in the Sims 2. Poor naked babies freezing to death on the kitchen floor.
I still find the social worker coming to take them away, ha ha, from child abuse amusing. It doesn't happen to my families but it still amuses me. Wow. I was a kid in the 80s and man, nobody gave a rat's hindquarters if you were starving or getting beaten. Mommy was too busy with her new job to bother with you and don't ever ask Dad for anything or you'll get smacked because he's overtired, overworked, and underpaid. Babysitter? What's that? I tell ya what, a sim kid wouldn't last a day in my life. Why when I was a kid, I had a key to my house, a bike, some money from mowing the lawn burning a hole in my pocket, I could cook, clean, watch other kids be miserable, feed myself, bathe myself, and by gum I got that homework done by myself every night too. Who the heck needs a babysitter or parents? LOL Ah, the 80s. Good times.
