Thanks. It was a downloaded lot. I bulldozed it and rebuilt it from scratch. It’s working now (and I no longer get weird stares from my Sims).

moudschegiebchn said: That sucks. Are you sure all your drivers are up-to-date? My old PC once went bersek due to over 20 drivers I haven’t updated. *chrm*

Yeah, they’re all up to date. I think it’s just age. I mean, it’s now 4 years old (and my original graphics card already croaked). The Windows installation has been slightly buggy since last year, so that’s probably the issue. Thank god Win7 is not that expensive.

PC struggles

wearyvagabond said: Nvidia GTX 1060 works great with Sims 2 after minimal fiddling; I’d definitely recommend upgrading

itsyedude said: It’s best to get the 10 series over the 7 series since it’ll be supported longer. So definitely go for a GTX 1050 Ti. A GTX 1060 GTX will pretty much run almost anything without issue.

Thank you for your suggestions. I will look into it.

Middleground’s birthday

katatty-main said: oooh, exciting!! 😀

I don’t think I’ve ever played a neighbourhood for that long. Except for that one I played like ten years ago, but I just kept on adding Sims to it (and didn’t play on a rotational basis), so I’m not sure it counts.

Term papers and Trumps

sushigal007 said: Good luck! And on the bright side, you’ve got a whole lot of material to work with!

God, I wish. Unfortunately, our history department is like really old-fashioned and strongly advises us to only use published sources (books and academic articles, basically). They only allowed us to use online sources this year, and highly limit what we can and cannot use. Otherwise, I would probably just print out every tweet Trump’s ever made regarding his politic on Russia and hand that in… so maybe it’s a good idea to impose those restrictions?

German book titles

simspressionism said: German titles are so weird most of the time

SO MANY FORCED PUNS! Stuff that’s only half translated. Fantasy books that are named after their protagonists. I would like to meet the marketing teams that come up with those titles…

sushigal007 said: That house! That house is vile! I’m pretty sure I ripped it to pieces for a maxis-taste dare or something. (And I hope you’re enjoying Steven Universe!)

IT is a major catastrophe, but I’m pretty sure it turned out pretty neat.

(And yes, I enjoy it a lot. Already caught up.)
