I put some stuff in the queue. Hope I don’t flood your dash, but I want to someday catch up to where I actually am in Viper Canyon. I’m off to Uni now. (and this doesn’t have anything to do with the fact that I don’t want to prepare my “King Ödipus”-presentation for dramatics)

Finally, after over two and a half hours (and my internet connection is pretty good) it was finished uploading. So I opened the game, selceted a neighborhood- and was greeted by a wall of neighborhoods I could buy for only 2.460 Simpoints!!! Order now!!! Awesome!!!. I selected Sunset Valley as my neighborhood to be and loaded it- to be greeted by a loading screen which told me about the benefits of Montevista….

That’s it, i’m uninstalling it.

Every once in a while, I’m bored and get that urge to try Sims 3 out again. So, I’ll be probably not posting stuff for a week or so. I’ll still be around, just won’t post stuff. Don’t worry, I’ll be back! (If I survive the patching process… Yes, I always uninstall it.) I always came back! 🙂

It was! I don’t even think they learned the basics… The teens had to go to school and work and while Gavin was too tired when he came home from work, Ginger had a serious fun deficit when she was done with hers and Gavins homework (I do have a homework sometimes mod but somehow they got always homework why the twins were toddlers (actually, now I’m not sure if Gavin didn’t start working after the twins grew up- when he sold the playground stuff, he hadn’t one, that’s for sure)

moudschegiebchn said: Can Sims really find out over a rose bouquet that his/her partner is cheating? Or did you just make it look like that?

No, that’s all in-game. If they read it and it’s adressed for their spuse but not by them, they will get furious with the Sim and a serious realtionship drop- enough to break up will occure. However, they won’t get the “Cheated on” memory and the furiousness and the relationship drop will decrease fast (they will soon have “forgotten” it- in fact very fast, like 6-10 hours I think?)

(Sorry for the little novel)

Something I just can’t get over

Totally non sims and I’m sorry if I annoy anyone so I’ll hide this probably very long text post under a read more.

Some libraries are for free- usually the ones that are under the churchs’ sponsorship. But still you got a point there, they don’t provide every book and the big ones usually charge a fee. The growing expenses for books are alarming, it’s even worse when there’s only one publisher whose publishing the book- which isn’t normal for books still under the copyright law. And if you need one book for school and it’s on the curriculum, they are free to charge (sure, there is the “Buchpreisbindung”, but they can work around this- company and book store wise. And the “brouchiert” thing is getting worse and worse. Personally, I think the rate at which the books start costing more and more is alarming. Sure, everything is inflation-linked, but it’s happening so damn fast. I was lucky that my parents bought me books when I was younger (I got 1,20€ every week until I was 11), but you’re completly right. It’s just not affordable for everyone…
