  1. *cries with relief* I managed to send that Error 12 back where it came from with some super google-fu. I reeeally hope changing the virtual memory paging file sizes isn't going to jack my computer up - but I was able to save!

      Thanks for that info, nixicole! I recently lost all saves for a game I'd been playing because error 12 wouldn't let me save any of them. My fault though for not quitting before I tried saving them all.

      Good for you, Nixicole! Yes, both Windows and TS3 use a lot of virtual memory and fight for it when they can, hehehe. Allocating more than the recommended memory is wise.

      I know about CW's editing the game file to allow more, but I didn't know anything about pagefiles until this.

  2. Of course, I'm gone for a couple days and there are updates for TS3 at Nraas. Lol!

    1. KayBee

      Are these for the Origin patch or are they also for 1.67. I was thinking about playing TS3 again so if those need updating I'll need them, but I didn't install the origin patch. I'm on 1.67 (or I think that's what it's called)

    2. Great8Girl

      Great8Girl

      I'm still on 1.67, too. I see no need to "update" to 1.69 myself.

    3. nixicole

      nixicole

      They are coding updates. They are listed as working with patch 1.63-1.69 on each page. I never update to 1.69, myself.

  3. Was jonesing for her NSA fix desperately enough to hijack her parents' computer in the middle of the night.

      National Security Agency? :S

      oh, Naughty Sims Asylum. LOOOO-*boom*

  4. I think I might be not simming until after Season comes out and I win the lottery so I can afford both it and Supernatural. :( I can get into it right now, and don't know why.

      I am like that at the moment. The mood comes back eventually.

      You think THAT's bad? I need THREE expansion packs, and all the stuff packs inbetween.

      Hate being a completest.

  5. A boxful of strawberry Fruit Roll-Ups, Sprite, and the next day off? What more does a girl need?

      Yep! Cc problems and new patches put me off for awhile, but 1.39 doesn't seem to crash my game if I don't install it, so I guess I'm gonna try to sort out the cc issue.

  6. I'm hoping to clear 300 posts by the end of this month. However, it's taken me almost 2 months to get halfway there. :(

    1. jvrd12

      jvrd12

      hang in there! :)

      You will make it! It is fun to chat with folks here. :)

  7. Why do I always feel slower and stupider than the rest of the world?

    1. Firestaar1

      Firestaar1

      Maybe because you take the time to observe the world and the wonderful things that still exist in it, while most others just rush through life?

  8. Things to NEVER do: run out of allergy medicine in a different state, where you need a prescription to get it.

      Yeah, stupid meth cookers. I have to get the kind with a controlled substance decongestant in it. Stupid sinuses.

  9. And after checking twallan's site to find that he has SP fixed, I'm seriously considering patching now. What to do, what to do?

    1. tessalion13

      tessalion13

      Think about if there are any other mods that are a major part of your gameplay (like some of TFM's)

    2. nixicole

      nixicole

      Not majorly, I don't believe - although I do use a ridiculous amount. On the bright side, it's good motivation to clean up my mods folder and go through and see what I really need.It's gonna be a long night.

  10. I think I might go play awhile.*gives up stalking twallan's wiki - for the moment* Happy simming, everybody!

    1. samacha

      samacha

      why are you sralking his wiki? anything up there?^^

    2. nixicole

      nixicole

      waiting on Woohooer, so that I can start a real game. I don't have SN, so I can live without Hybrid. I haven't used Vector much, but for me, it seems like it might just get to be annoying.

  11. Aaaand I've certainly set myself a challenge this time. An all-inclusive home (with Woohooer in mind, too!). Problem? Basement. I know how to go do one below a foundation. Now I just need to see if that will cause any problems with a sunken den, even though I don't plan on the basement being below it at all. Oh, and I'm starting this on a 30x30 lot. I have a bad feeling I'll regret it.

    1. Cohzaku

      Cohzaku

      As someone who has made an all-EP inclusive house on a 20X30 prebuilt lot, I feel your pain.and the intoxicating "Can I do it?" excitement as well :D

    2. nixicole

      nixicole

      I couldn't. :( Not with wanting to make it a generational home to. I tend to go big and sprawling to make sure there are no route blocks, anyway. Oh, well. I upgraded to 60x60 to have room for the barn, too.

  12. WOOHOOER is released! Yay! Seriously, though, I shouted for joy. :)

    1. doren

      doren

      I was very excited too and put the files straight into my game so I would not forget in the morning.

      Now I am thinking of taking them out again - I want to see that "first woohoo" at least once.

    2. Jenn

      Jenn

      I might have squeaked a little, it was 4am when I saw it. Didn't want to wake the house up. lol

  13. Def. In. Ite. Ly. Monday. *goes searching for her chocolate stash*

    1. Pope

      Pope

      Oh so it wasn't just mine? *hugs* Sorry your Monday sucked.

    2. nixicole

      nixicole

      *hugs back* It helps to have people to hug with. :) Chocolate makes it all better, by the way.

  14. Omg. I don't even wanna think about how long I just spent working on one SECTION of roof. Head. hurts.

    1. nixicole

      nixicole

      Wow, am I learning all sorts of new things this go round. I made a garage attached to a foundation house, and found how to do the doors so they didn't look messed up by the wall above. So excited!

    2. Nellas

      Nellas

      CFE is a wonderful thing

  15. I'm in grave danger of clearing 200 posts this month.

    1. Nellas

      Nellas

      go go go just a few more!

    2. nixicole

      nixicole

      I know! I'm excited!

  16. Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving and a safe Black Friday, and that my mom ordered Supernatural and Seasons for me, since they were both 50% off yesterday.

    1. jvrd12

      jvrd12

      that's awesome. Seasons is awesome, and I can't live without fairies' "Bloom" now from Supernatural. it feels like cheating but who cares. x) I hope you enjoy your playing time!

    2. Cohzaku

      Cohzaku

      Got a good Tablet AND a 32 GB micro SD for about $90 less than the latter on Amazon, a speaker for our Telly, and.well, that's it.

  17. Alright, everybody, we're beyond officially into FRIDAY. So everyone who's been having a bad week, that's about to stop. Even if I have to end up posting a pic of my curly head of frizz to make you laugh.

    1. jvrd12

      jvrd12

      lol! now that'd be funny.

    2. nixicole

      nixicole

      Not nearly so fuzzy as it would be if I left the mousse off for that pic. I get scared that my hair will eat small rodents when I do that.

  18. Whoot! We made it, everybody! Well, unless, like me, you have to work tomorrow. But still. COOKIES!!!

    1. tessalion13

      tessalion13

      I have to work, but from home, in a better mood so it works :)

    2. nixicole

      nixicole

      Plus, if you're home, you have constant access to all the good snacks! (Sorry, currently on a cookie craze. As usual.)

  19. Flea Treatment Day = Nicole's Nevi will be pissed at her for the entire night.

      Same here for the Zeke(dog). But he loves a bath. He just hates getting in and out of the tub.

    2. nixicole

      nixicole

      At least part of the job is easy for you, then.

  20. And with the new year here, I'm BACK! And with Supernatural and Season, too!

    2. jenniferw23

      jenniferw23

      That's wonderful. Have fun with your new EPs.

  21. Yay, the world didn't end while I was gone!

    1. Firestaar1

      Firestaar1

      Welcome back Nixi!!

    2. doren

      doren

      It did end but it was replaced with a new one which is just the same.

  22. For those of you who haven't had time to check twallan's wiki yet, there was an emergency update to Woohooer late last night.

    1. doren

      doren

      Thanks. I don't check his updates regularly at the moment because I think he is exclusively working on SP.

    2. nixicole

      nixicole

      I have my browser set up to automatically open a search browser, this site, MTS, and his updates page. If I see something's updated, I check the state of the mod page.

  23. Alright, all you fellow country music fans! This post is almost a week late in coming, but it's officially "Cupid's Got a Shotgun" month. (That's my favorite valentine- or romantic-themed song.)

    1. jenniferw23

      jenniferw23

      Haven't heard that one but what girl could ask for a more romantic declaration of love? Maybe me, for starters :)

    2. nixicole

      nixicole

      It's actually maybe more anti-valentine, kinda like anti-prom. It's Carrie Underwood, off her Blown Away album. My fave off it, in fact.

  24. Random thought as my game was loading and I was thinking about the family I'm fixing to start playing: has anyone "hybrid-ed" a ghost-werewolf? I think I'd have to start them as a playable ghost, then add the werewolf. Hmmm. I might have to test that combo before I start a real game.

    1. tessalion13

      tessalion13

      I actually had one born in my game last week! I've been meaning to share him and his dad.

    2. nixicole

      nixicole

      I am considering making the dead father of my grown married guy. The one thing that always bothers me about starting a fresh game with new sims is that there are no older family genetics to make things more interesting.

  25. is officially back on facebook. Who needs free time anyway?

    1. michalien

      michalien

      I hate facebook. people are very demanding and possesive.I unregistered 2 years ago after 2 years of being member.

      I've had an account for a few years. My activeness on it waxes and wanes. I hadn't been on in several months. I only really talk to a few friends through there.
