melodious mayhem

So about my laptop... that pretty much recently died on me. Its graphics card is shot. It was an old thing anyhow, and it could barely play Sims 2 anymore due to its age.

The good news is that I have a brand new custom built computer~!! Well, technically it's slightly used. It's still in great condition though, and can even play Sims 3 better than my old laptop did. I may have even started a brand new legacy. It's gonna take me a bit to get back into the swing of things though, so I bet the first few updates won't be all that entertaining.

As for the Coke Legacy, I have their whole neighborhood safely tucked away on my external hard drive. There's no need to worry about them, they're perfectly fine. The only problem is that I'm in no mood to install Sims 2 and all of the expansions I own. It's a great deal, you know? Maybe I'll come back to them when I'm in the mood to sit around installing games and replacing neighborhoods with empty templates for an hour or two.

In the meantime, take a look at the ~lovely founder~ I made.

I'm honestly not all that great at using the sliders in Sims 3. I downloaded a mod to enhance the sliders, but I don't see much of a difference?? I'm probably just bad at it. I hope she doesn't look too bland... ;;

Alright, so just when I was getting super attached to playing Sims 2 on a laptop, the CMOS battery had to go and die out on me. For those who don't know, the CMOS battery is basically like a watch battery and is in charge of internal clock functions/BIOS settings. Right now the clock is stuck in an hour loop. This isn't much of an issue normally, but there's a chance that a serious error could pop up, which then makes it a Very Bad Thing. Normally I could simply replace it, however the CMOS battery is welded into the motherboard. I think for desktop computers it's different? Either way, I'm not going to buy a new motherboard for the laptop just to fix it's silly battery.

I might put off playing the game for some time while my brother makes a new custom desktop computer that should be fit to use.

I forgot to mention it, but nobody cried over Nate's death. Just as they should.
