    When you're reading a book review that says this:

    And you think to yourself, "Not ALL of us have menace and heartache, suspense and wonder....."
    Oh wait, nevermind. It's a verb. :blush:

    @marcel21 haha, I’m glad you enjoyed my post :) FYI, the Sims on my desktop are my Simmified versions of characters from another game called Stardew Valley. I just adore that game, and I’m really happy with how they turned out in Sims :>

    When you pull your just washed clothes out of a dryer in the building's laundry room IRL only to find that they are just as wet as when they went in, and your first inclination is to complain to the management company that they should have gone for the more expensive models in Build/Buy Mode. :angry:

    When you love looking through and showing off pics of your sims more than you do your real life pics.

    When you look at a 4 year old and try to determine if she is considered a child yet and a 12 year old and similarly try to determine if she would be considered a teen yet.

    When you actually say that your bladder level is going into the red to your mother.

    When you walk out to your mailbox, on the concrete pathway, barefoot because that's what you always do.....
    Only to find that your feet are burning because the hot summer sun was heating up the walkway and then you think, "This must be how the firewalk feels on the Sims 3!" :lol:

    My poor feet though... :persevere:

    When people are trying to decide whether to fly to Europe or Thailand this summer, you consider whether to take your simmies to Monte Vista or to Isla Paradiso this year.

    When you waste embarrassing amounts of time repeatedly trying to "Login as a Steam Customer" not understanding why this isn't working and then suddenly you remember that what you were trying to do was check your bill with the local utility company. I am not what they call a Steam Customer, that service for energy provision isn't even available in my area.

    How dare they give it the same name as the platform on which my TS3 game is installed and trick me into trying to login that way? :s

    When someone really makes you angry and you wish you could literally delete the door to their bedroom forever....

    Then you realize that you need a break from Sims 3 because it's turning you crazy XD
    I am that one player in D&D that will ALWAYS roll 1s on Stealth, especially when I'm a Rogue :(

    When you've just arrived at a restaurant, you're supposed to be reading the menu and deciding what you want (and, you know, being social or something), and suddenly you just cannot concentrate, because you could swear the song that's playing is from TS3. But it sounds wrong somehow—that's clearly not Simlish! Are you imagining things? Maybe you just played too long last night, and it's starting to show. But the music sounds right, when you can hear it over the noise of the other diners. So you go back and forth on this for the duration of the song, totally ignoring the menu and whatever conversation you're supposed to participate in, and all you want to do is to tell everyone in the whole restaurant to just shut up for a minute so you can listen.

    By the way, it was in fact a song from TS3, specifically "Manos al Aire," which came with WA. I finally got a good enough impression of the chorus to be sure. But I'm guessing that the version that played in the restaurant wasn't in Simlish.

    ^This so much!!! I have 2 folders full of sites that are bookmarked. One is titled "Sims3CC" for cc that I've come across but not downloaded and one is "SimsHelp" because, well, sims 3 needs help. :D

    I'm going four terabyte. As a photographer in RL, I am tending to go a little nuts on screencaps so I need a place to keep all my Sims stuff as well as my RL photography. :(

    @Nikkei_Simmer wow! 4 tb. I would never use that much space!
    I've seen a few of your pics and they're awesome! I've always wanted to take photography classes and learn how to use the more complicated cameras.
    On the subject of drives, I've decided to not get a larger ssd and give my 1 tb hdd a go. The sims program files are installed on the hdd, but I decided to redirect my documents folder to my hdd. I haven't played since moving the document folder, but have been downloading and installing store content. I must say, I am extremely impressed with how fast things download and install on the hdd. Noticeably faster than the ssd. I can't wait to see how it plays.

    @Odanata68, I taught myself, I've never been to formal classes in photography. My first DSLR was a Nikon D50, then I upgraded to the Nikon D300s when I outgrew it. A lot of learning is getting hands-on with the camera and getting out and shooting. And eventually you develop the reflexes to capture shots like this:

    _DSC5474.jpg

    As far as I know. SSDs are really only useful for putting the main program on as well as your operating systems and the player files should always go on a different hard drive. My SSD (when I get it will only be for the operating system and a few programs that I use a lot (namely Photoshop and Premiere Elements, Lightroom, and a few more...that I can't rattle off the top of my head.

    I've always enjoyed photography; and my D300s tends to deliver large .NEF files (they contain all the color information in the file...and thus can be manipulated a lot more readily than .JPG files.

    So this isn't a funny one (Well not to me at least lol) but it definitely goes into this category! As some of you may have noticed, I take a billion pictures of my sims and have the Palmer legacy going. I am like in love with this family, it is sad. Anyway, I decided to make a slideshow of the pictures from the beginning. I actually purchased the full version of Windows Movie Maker instead of just the free version. That's right, I spent $30 on this project so far. Well, no.. I bought songs to go along with it as well. I am pathetic. I want to share it with other people but there is not gonna be anyone who can watch it and actually give a crap about them and it makes me sad. But I do go back and watch it myself, and I just recently did and I kinda teared up when I saw Adam, who just recently died in my game.

    So yeah, I am an addict.
