New computer spam: Now with pics!

[madame_ugly]

Ok, so what's this about?  Right after I posted that whiney post about "boo hoo, the new computer is making my hair turn gray", I tried the game again and it loaded without a hitch.

A very kind responder (who's user name I just still can't remember--I'm sorry) mentioned that dual core machines have issues with sims 2 (or would that be the other way

Yay for your new computer! I love this little testing story. Frances would approve!

[madame_ugly]

Even after I let him get burned, get pinched by a crab, AND give birth to a chinless baby?

I guess we all worship the Benevolent One in our own unique ways.

[tanathir]

He would approve of the awesome graphics...? Poor Frances, we put him through a lot because of our love.

[madame_ugly]

True. It could have been worse. He could have been BALD with nice graphics.

YAY!!!! You're comp is working! Woot!!

If you wanna visit bigfoot, I'd start looking for the map to the Hidden Burrow now so your sims have it ready when they go to Three Lakes.

Franklin is so adorable!! Who needs a chin when Franky W is your daddy? :D

[madame_ugly]

For now it is (I get the feeling it'll be better now that I know what it's issue is).

I was thinking about that (getting the bigfoot map before going on vacation). Frances already has the Taki(whatever) Village map.

*shudders* The chinlessness just gives me a huzz. If he still has no chin as a teen, I'm going to dress him like Gunnar.

"I THINK I'D RATHER BE BALD!" LOL. XD

Frances strikes me as the kind of person that would NEED to put sunscreen on his shorts unless he wants to get burnt to a crisp. Love how he was bragging to everyone how tan he was when he finally got that way!

LMAO it's fate, I tell you FATE! They have one bolt in my game too but they're so obsessed with eachother (but you already know that).

Damn, you have NO IDEA how much I want to see Franklin aged up! I wanna see what I'm dealing with here. ;) And don't worry, he does have a chin- it's just hiding.

Is that an actual Groucho glasses accessory on that Sim or just photoshopping?

[xel_squirgle_ox]

Lol. Sorry, it's just photoshopping. I wouldn't be surprised if somebody did upload something like that somewhere though!

[madame_ugly]

Yeah, he should be sunbathing in that skin diver outfit. (I feel his pain, I get sunburned just THINKING about the sun)

It really IS fate. He didn't get along with any other men. But when I invited Guy over, he auto heart farted and then it was only one little flirt until they were in love (and yes, they do auto romance interactions a lot--Guy more than Frances though--and they wouldn't leave the baby alone).

I'll make at least one more post from this little testing spot, so you'll see Franklin grow up (but that might mean seeing Frances die, he's almost an elder right now). Think they should have another kid?

[madame_ugly]

Poor Franklin looks like a muppet.

But not as bad as the daughter of two of my celebrities (Patrick Stewart and Tom Selleck). Poor Magnolia looks like she doesn't even have a bottom jaw at all.

[madame_ugly]

Yeah, they're both downloads. Pretty decent looking ones, too.

I really should breed the Flavor Flav I have. He's HIDEOUS!

[laridian]

Woot for new compootair! :D Wow, yours is nice. I've never seen rain coming off the sim roofs, so you're one up on me. Then again, my machine's creaking under all these EP's.

Hmm, I stuck my finger in the hole and got crabs?
Er, at least that one's OK to eat... not sure about the smaller ones, but hey, you go get crabs however you want 'em, Mr. Worthington.

That kid is amazingly chinless!

[madame_ugly]

That's my old machine. It is (for all intents and purposes) full. I can still store a bit of stuff on the second harddrive that was installed, but it can't handle any more sims ep/sps (I've even limited downloads to the occassional small thing).

Poor Franklin. Doomed to look like Gunnar Roque.
