Computer Update Part 2

BlogpostPublished: Apr 22, 2009Views: 615

...well, well...after many angry phone calls and frustrations, I've managed to finally bring home the computer tonight. Apparently, the computer I'm wanting to buy is back ordered...and won't be out for two to three more weeks! So, I decided to get a 'returned-but-well-inspected' one with a 100% two year warranty. I figure my basis are covered there.

Well, I begin to install my game and my Sims 2 Base Game is too old and scratched up. PeaSea (my computer's random name) is too fancy to read a cruddy disc, so I headed out to purchase yet another game disc. Just last week I had to rebuy Mansions and Garden's...

I get to the store and you can't buy the base game by itself anymore, so I had to buy Double Delux which comes with Base Game, Nightlife, and Celebrations Stuff...just great! That's two games I already have that are in fine condition!

Either way, I have the fancy new computer and I'm installing all my games on it right now. At the same time, in the other room, I am pulling off my Sims 2 folder and putting it on an external hard drive to put it on PeaSea. With any luck and God's good grace, I hope to be playing by tomorrow! I am so anxious to see the graphics changes!

Oooohhh its so exciting trying out a new PC. I remember the joy of getting mine and when I upgraded the RAM it was another buzz, esp all the new cc I could then download $\:lol\:$   I hope it all works well and that you'll be grinning for days!

Great! I hope it works nicely for you. I had to buy another base game CD (I already owned the DVD version, but lost it), wouldn't you know I found it after I bought a new one! LOL So now I have a backup.
I have to reinstall all of my games and stuff packs, yet once again! Not sure what happened this time, but the game crashes when I go to create a new hood, create a sim, or move a sim into a lot I have built. I of course have everything I have created or downloaded backed up. Reinstalling is a PITA for sure!

Hey glad you've got a new PC or "PeaSea". $\:cool\:$   I had that problem when I lost my Uni pack & then my only way of getting it was to buy a pack that had base game + Uni (the ONLY part I needed) + NL (which was in perfect working order). $\:rolleyes$ :  Sorry you ended up having to spend extra money though. $\:\($    But at least you'll "be back in the saddle again". $\:cool\:$   Take care & happy SIM-ing. $\:wub\:$
