Okay, so far that’s the only problem I’ve encountered. And I can live with shadows on medium. 😀 After I installed the expansion packs, I was even able to smooth edges. Now to install the rest (fingers crossed).

Okay, Basegame installed. I can’t seem to use “smooth edges”, but oh my good, no more blocky terrain! Yaay! Even if it’s not the best graphic card, I’m happy! Now I just have to install the other 17+ discs…

Oh yes. Well in my case it’s more of a “What the heck Saturn/Mediamarkt why don’t you have any good PCs under 600€?” Seriously, every second PC there had an onBoard-card. And the other graphic cards were pretty crappy. My new monitor won’t be a “omgsobeautifulicanteven”, though. It will be an early namessake day present and most likely be 19" big. It’s good enough for me though. Seriously, anything is better than my beloved huge laptop with falling off keys. 🙂

(Sorry, I’m really talkactive today)

So I went to the computer store today and the owner and I put together a good base. It’s not the best of the best, but it’s alright (and better than what I already have). Plus, it’s a PC, not a Laptop, so I can update it if I want. And know what? He told me I can have it tomorrow. Well not really, because I don’t have my license yet and my parents aren’t there to drive me around tomorrow. 😀 And I still need a monitor a keyboard and a mouse. But hey, anythings better than a laptop which constantly loses keys!

(I’m a bit in shock about the price though, because I converted it into dollars and now I’m sitting here hyperventilating. I hate spending money for myself.)

didilysims said: You need the _EnableColorOptionsGMND.package (I think that’s the one—sounds right) that is a file that comes with the CEP, I believe.

Hm… I probably forgot to add it… Off I go to search for it! 🙂

Edit: Ha, found it. I forgot to put the zCEP-EXTRA into my new Sims 2 folder. *blushes*

didilysims said: Ha, I know the feeling. But it won’t be long before we’re both missing these idle summer days, I’m sure! At least you’re being productive, though, playing music. I should probably practice more myself…

Oh yes! Well, the last time I played the violine was when I lived in Newsealand. And that was nearly three years ago! (Needless to say as I was out of shape even back then, it wasn’t that pleasant…)
