Sims 3: Random pics of randomness

[madame_ugly]

My home machine does have internet access but no anti-virus software (oh, the drama that's causing right now).  Now I wasn't going to bother using and flash drive to move pics BUT. . .some fun stuff happened when I was playing last night so I just had to take a few snaps and then (of course) I had to share them

I totally missed this! Never knew you got the game installed. So great to see you playing! You're making me seriously want Seasons now. Even if you hate the rain. I want aliens! And Bob Ross face painting!

Now that they've announced TS4, it seems a bit silly for me to buy more EPs. It's a waste, right? And yet...I want to. Conundrum.

For me it comes down to this. Can I afford to piss away $20 on an EP. Personally, I won't pay more than that, so if I see them on sale and I feel I'm due a treat, I go for it. I'm tempted to grab up Ambitions the next time I see it on sale but I'm making myself wait until I play more and start to get bored. OR, if you have a birthday/gift holiday, get it as a gift. It's an easy thing for someone to buy for you

Yeah, I always buy the EPs on sale. The problem is I kind of want ALL of them. I have everything up to and including Pets now. Still want the rest. But then TS4 will come out and I'll cry. I agree, though, that nothing clicks the way TS2 did. I think you're right. It's not that TS2 was necessarily a better game, it was just the right game at the right time. For my interests, for my lifestyle, and for the community here at that time. I don't feel any particular desire to play TS2 again, but I do really miss the community. And I do not understand Tumblr. I feel like such an old person. I just don't get it. I feel like I will have to get behind it eventually, though. But I want to shake my cane at the Tumblr crowd and tell them how we did things back in my day. That's where I am right now.

That's it, we are the same person.

I'm the same way. I have no desire to go back to sims2. But if I could find that same sense of community with sims3, I bet I'd get more into sims3.

Tumblr not only makes me FEEL old, I sound old when I talk about it. "I don't get that there tumblr. They can't even spell the name properly. And it moves so galdurn fast, with the liking and re-whatevering. What are you kids up to? I'M CONFUSED. GRIDLOCK!!!"

I'm currently trying out tumblr but so far I'm not impressed (sims3 or in general). It's like pinterest and twitter had an A.D.D. baby. And to be quite frank, I'm not a fan of twitchy attention span deficient infants that speak gibberish.

(and don't even get me started on facebook--I don't want to be into any online community where my MOTHER hangs out, just saying)

I honestly just don't understand how to use tumblr. Do people just post random pics? How are you supposed to follow a story? Or do people just not do stories anymore? I feel moronic, but I totally do not get it. I do have an account there, because one of my favorite Simmers moved over there (which means I have one lj friend left, ha!), but I seriously can't figure out what to do with it. She loves it there, though

You're not alone. It took me a bit to "get" tumblr. It is a LOT of photo posts but you can make long test posts (journal style). To follow a story you'd have to follow that tumblr account (or you could follow a tag, but I'm not sure if you can do that or how

[psitticism]

I guess I'll play around with tumblr a bit more and see what I can do with it. But you know as soon as I figure it out, everybody will move on to the next thing, anyway.

Yeah, I do some crochet and such and I like to cook, so I see a lot of the mommy wars with some of the blogs I follow, too. And I actually do want kids in the near future (I think this is the part where we might not be the same person, right?), so I really don't mind posts about parenting, gadgets that make parents' lives easier, etc. I just don't get all the people who brag about things like making Swedish Fish from scratch. I mean, why would you make Swedish Fish from scratch? Who are these people? Don't they have kids to go parent?
