Wish me luck!

Well, I bought my new computer today.  I haven't started putting it together yet--too late in my time zone--but I have a day off and the weekend coming up to work on it, so that sounds like a plan.

Or it did, until the malware scanner picked up something again.  So, the new plan is to work on it tomorrow after I come home from work.

I really hope that The Sims: Complete Collection will install on Windows 7...I really don't want to lose all the time and effort I invested in creating my Sims.

On the other hand, I'll probably also install The Sims 2 onto the new computer.  I have some of the games--EA started selling them in bundles, so I don't have to go searching for all the expansion and stuff packs--so I can get started.

I also have a laptop running Windows XP, so I can probably install The Sims onto that if I really have to.  I just hope there's enough free memory to work with, and that the touchpad doesn't screw me up.  I'll probably use an external mouse for the laptop because I think the laptop also has a virus, albeit a less harmful and just really annoying one: the cursor works fine for a little bit, then it scrolls off to a corner and keeps going there no matter how hard I try to get it going in another direction.

So here's hoping that everything works well tomorrow!

Why, hello...

Hello Sims-universe.

I'm not sure what's taken so long to get registered to this website but I'm so glad I finally did. This year is going to be a Sims-filled year and I'm excited...

Dollhouse collection and more..

As some of you have seen, i build dollhouses to. Not only thoose cute ones with a tower and soft collors, but thoose who really looks like a real dollhouse. Thoose we played with when we where children ^^ I have seen others now, and they are wonderfull. I like when others are making some houses out of the ordenary, like my puzzle duzzle and buzz bunker i just submitted. I like when people take ordenary things in real life and use it as an inspiration in making sims3 houses. My collections as now is:

Trailer life

Petit

Dollhouse

Out of the ordenary

I will put pictures up in my gallery wich houses belong to where and name it after the collection. I think i am going to make more collections as it seems like that is something people like. Though i dont want to promiss people that it will be submitted as manny houses as i have done so far in this short of time i have had my profil here. Cuse i want to start making videos to, and play other games ^^. But i will log in every day as i have been so far, if i am at home ofcource xD

If you have any idea of one collection that would work, you are most welcome to post a comment about it ^^

Thanks...

The Farmer Family

Monty Farmer brought his wife Jessica and their son Chad to Old Town to celebrate their daughter Lisa's wedding to Luther Smith.  Shortly thereafter, Monty relocated his family to Old Town permanently.

Monty, who was blessed with good looks and a keen eye for detail, found work in the fashion industry, becoming a famous designer before moving on to become a Fashion Columnist.  He still keeps his hand in, watching television each day to see what works and what doesn't, and commenting on it at night while sketching his own ideas on what goes together.

Jessica, from whom Lisa inherited her talent and interest, had been an entertainer before her children were born.  Upon moving to Old Town, with her children fully grown and able to take care of themselves, she returned to the industry, this time as a musician.  She is now a Rock Star and extremely successful, despite her maturity, able to bridge the gap between the people of her generation and those of her children's generation.

Chad, after graduating from college, thought briefly about following his mother and his sister's path, but though he enjoys going to Studio Town for impromptu sessions, he decided the stress wasn't for him.  Instead, he developed his other skills and went into the Paranormal professions, rising to become an Exorcist.

While in college Chad had found a friend in Blake, who had shared his interests in the entertainment industry.  However, while Chad had given up on the idea, Blake had tried to make a go of it.  They reconnected in Studio Town.  Blake, who had been in foster care his entire life, was having a hard time.  Chad invited him home, and Monty and Jessica--despite Blake's having attained his majority--legally adopted him and gave him their family name.  Blake, with Chad's help, also went into the Paranormal professions and became an Exorcist as well.

It came as a surprise to everyone when Blake and Luther Smith came face to face...because they were actually twin brothers, who had been adopted separately and had lost touch with each other.

Chad met one of Blake's friends from Studio Town, and young woman named Sydney.  The two fell in love and married.  Sydney moved into the Farmer home and, deciding that she'd never be as successful as Jessica, went back to college and got a degree in business administration.  She started her own company and now makes nearly as much as a CEO as her husband does.  She and Chad have one son, Gregory.

Blake met a young woman named Lorna while on a trip Downtown.  After a couple of casual dates, things turned serious, and in a short while he asked her to marry him.  Lorna, who had also grown up in foster care, knows only that her father was a major player who carried on with multiple women, and that she probably has brother and sisters somewhere out in the world (actually, she has three younger half-brothers in town, even if she doens't know it--the Millers).  Though she initially thought to work as a Personal Tour Guide, she decided to work with her husband instead, becoming an Exorcist.  She and Blake have a daughter, Robyn.

Incidentally, Monty's sister--his much younger sister, owing to his father remarrying after his first wife died--also lives in town.  Given that she is only a year or two older than his own children, however, and that he was already out of the house when she was born, he barely knows her.  More on her later.

Wishing all Aussie TSR Members ...

A fun, safe, and relaxing Australia Day with those for whom you care the most.

I for one will be lounging around the pool with my family (wearing a big floppy hat and plenty of sunscreen if the bureau of meteorology is to be believed).

And for all you non-Aussies out there, just remember ...

Frustration, thy name be Malware (and Adware and Spyware and Virus...)

For the past week I have been fighting a number of issues with my computer.  Like I reported a week ago, I spent a great deal of time trying to get rid of a computer virus.  Now, today, I'm doing it all over again.

I don't know what's happening or why these stupid things keep popping up on my computer.  I even have Internet Explorer windows popping up...and I'm not even running it!  I've been using Firefox ever since the virus problem last week, but IE has today started opening pop-ups on my screen.  I'm running a virus/adware/malware scan in the background right now, and it just picked something up, but it's really frustrating, you know?

I have to wonder...and it's about the only correlation that seems to match up...but all this happened when I signed up at TSR.  I don't want to blame the site or the downloads--especially since Firefox scanned each download for viruses--but maybe the worms and stuff are hiding in all the ads?

I suppose I could always subscribe just to get the ads to stop popping up.  Anything to avoid all these problems.

But what if it isn't the ads?  What if it's something else?

Hopefully I'll be getting a new computer soon, and a new worm and virus free computer with updated scanning software may be just what I need to prevent anything new from coming in.  After all, if the worms and viruses that hit my current computer did something to it, then the virus and malware scanners may be missing anything that comes in because the worms and viruses rewrote something, right?

Well, here's hoping it will clear up soon.
