I daren't use anything from my old sims hard drive; a fresh start is the only way to ensure that I'm not copying over any corrupted files.
I have some preciously uploaded sims, including some (though not all) of the Pinches from my OWBC, and I will definitely use them if I do another OWBC.
Yes, life goes on and starting fresh is sometimes the best way to go. I will be looking forward to your TPU. I am sure is will be filled with awesome characters like in your OWBC. xD
Yeah, sucks big time. Thanks for your sympathy Circe.
I am looking forward to get publishing again, that does cheer me up. In fact; I'm even more cheered up knowing that there are people who are looking forward to it too.
Of course, we love you Shadey. It's like you're a part of the LJ/Boolprop family and we miss you when you're not around. I do know what it's like to lose your computer and everything on it, I did that with my old desktop and nearly lost my legacy twice due to strange glitching, I saved it and haven't had issues since so *knock on wood* if I had wood around that's not MDF...*knocks on chilla shavings* Close enough. :)
Thank you AniMei, it good to feel I'm still in the LJ/Boolprop family. :)
I've been close to losing my sims in the past but have always had a recent backup to restore from. This time it's been different; all files on my computer became corrupted, including my backed up game.
lol - chilla shavings, I've no idea what they are; when I searched it I got "did you mean 'child savings?'".
Thanks Lark, hugs are very much appreciated. Especially today as I've had a bit of a crap day at work... but that's a different story. Nothing a game of sims can't cure. ;)
These things cannot always be predicted, and even if you did have backups, who knows when the corruption started so I think you are probably better off starting over from scratch.
Just remember to play at least as much as you spend time downloading. I have a no downloading policy myself specifically because I had a problem of just downloading and never playing during my The Sims days.
Good luck with your challenge, it looks like it is a fun one.
Exactly. From scratch is the only way to ensure there is no corruption transferred to my new hard drive.
Yes, one can sometimes get a little carried away with the downloading - there is so much nice stuff out there!
Thank you so much, I am straining at the bit here to get on with that challenge. I started playing in on my old hard drive and though I didn't get very far, it was definitely fun.
