I are Sims Sig. This are Sims thread.

It's just such a relief to work on a computer and not have to worry about Parallels, Exchange Server, or Remote Desktop. So I've been unwinding by playing the Sims, and specifically in recreating two families: The Utonium family and the Mythbusters family.

So in the upper-scale place in downtown Pleasantville there's a rich man, Professor, and his three girls: Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup. On the other side of town are the five Mythbusters roomies: Jamie, Adam, Grant, Kari and Tori. (Bother: can't make Jamie both bald and beret'd. And the randomly-assigned sleepwear for Kari is, er, frightening.) Turns out that both Professor and Jamie have similar ambitions: home businesses. The Prof, in addition to buying a club downtown, begins making toy robots, Buttercup contributes some daisies, and they start selling them at home. One of the first visitors is, indeed, Jamie Mythbuster, and when I divert my focus for just a second, Professor Utonium is furious with Jamie.

So Utoniums/Mythbusters might just be the new Hatfields/McCoys, if I can just get the damned game to stop crashing on me. My attempts at adding custom music seem to be fatal to the game's execution. I just want to listen to "Supper's Ready" while customizing a family. Amazingly enough, my first attempt to make a custom TV channel worked effortlessly; the Sims will now see "Porkchop Sandwiches" if they watch the cartoon channel. This is as it should be.

Squee! Grant Mythbuster! Squee! Squee!

I hope your computer will quit crashing, because I'd love to see Grant. (I love him, you know.)

I have had two casual woohoos now. The second time was a married couple. I'm still waiting for more exciting things to happen.

Do you know what STR and LTR stand for?

Squee, squee! Grant!

My first attempt at a custom neighborhood ended in the tragic "OMG, Where did all the buildings I spent days on go?!" syndrome. Eventually Hogsmeade will rise again. After that I may even make some Sims to shove in there.

Haven't yet figured out if my computer will be able to run the Seasons expansion or not.

You know you can probably download the "both bald and bereted" at someplace like www.modthesims2.com

I've been totally not paying attention to new Sims expansions for some time now. You're seriously making me consider plunking down some money for the expansions even though I probably wouldn't be able to play them for a couple of months now....
What's the issue with pets?? Too much breeding? Where the hell is Bob Barker when you need him?
Porkchop Sandwiches as a show is brilliant. If I get mine up and running again soon, you must tell me how to do it.
