Unfortunately there isn't! There is a 3rd party CC organization tool called CC Magic which works great, but it is an entirely separate program that keeps the CC in a different folder and doesn't alter the launcher. If you went with CC Magic you'd have to do some "switching over" with your CC. There's a pretty thorough…
@sugarplumpeach Well, not exactly like a virus... but what happens is that the CASP (CAS part) resource entry (and the other resources tied to the CASP entry) for the CC gets packed into the sim file by the export tool, along with the data that's supposed to be getting exported. The export tool isn't intended to export CC…
I guess doing homework really leaves him... burned out? *awkward silence* Anyway... I've not played that much with teen witches, so I'll have to watch out for that magic homework option...
Hi @MoonlightSaviour, I will leave the technical advice for Igazor, but I can clear up some of the other things you mentioned. You can't post images yet, since you are still a new member, once you've gotten full member status you'll be able to post pics. These new-member restrictions exist because of trolls/spammers…
I've busy & mostly lurking lately. So now I've been catching up on this thread. @Nikkei_Simmer I like the short hair you have on River now, very cute & fits her well. @emorrill Caught up on the QL story: Can't wait to see Emmaline go to jail & Sam + Emma = *Squee* :blush: I have been feeling a bit "down" myself lately, and…
@Namaya92 *le gasp!* Izanami seducing Jamie! I have to say Izanami has become my favorite Sun heir so far, she's completely evil & absolutely shameless about it!
Not exactly in-game, but I found this today... ...score! And the disc doesn't have any scratches either. Hopefully it will work in Win 10, I might have to use "compatibility mode".
Wow! I've been away too long! 2000+ pages, gratz @emorrill ! I had computer trouble & needed a new hard drive & so right now I'm back to the base game while I get things sorted out on my laptop software-wise. I solved a Goth mystery... Mortimer's bio says he's the product of Gunther & Cornelia's "strong marriage", but…
I've seen about the last family & yeah, they have a hard time convincing people they're twins. Basically all the kids got mixed traits, except "ginger" there, who got all the whitest genes from both parents. (the mother is also biracial) Genetics are funny things! About the Sims, from what I can tell, the game mixes skin…
@Saviourofpotatoes Beware! CC can quickly become addictive! One moment you're looking for a pair of nice socks on TSR, the next you're downloading "jeggings". :wink: Don't worry about your pics not being "pretty", the folks around here aren't stuck-up about that. And your pics are very nice looking BTW.
@Simasaurus09 Well not everything's quite sorted out...after I get the drive there's this part: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycWAl3Fg6MQ I only have this to say about the latest version of Windows: The more things change, the more they stay the same...re-installing is still a pain in the rear!
@chesterbigbird It has 2 drives in it. An mSATA (the smaller Samsung drive in pic) & a 2.5" HDD (the Toshiba one). It was somehow setup so that both drives appeared as 1 volume in the "this pc"screen. I guess. I didn't set it up & the last 2 drive pc I had was a desktop with XP. Either the mSATA pooped out, or the Toshiba…
@phoebebebe13 Okay, gotcha. Again, I was careful & savvy in picking out my laptop & bought from a reputable long-time seller (a brick & mortar PC shop selling on ebay), I didn't just stumble blindly into the cheapest laptop for sale that somebody's grandma found at a yard sale. :wink: My previous laptop was also used from…
I was only teasing about that to Phoebe. I don't expect anyone to do that, but I was making a bit of a point that I bought used for practical/budget reasons & that I know a refurbed laptop is not the "ideal" pc set up. Also I would like to say that responding with what amounts to "Used pc's can have problems & you should…
I can understand why you wouldn't recommend used tech; I bought used for practical reasons & was/am aware of the problems used tech can have. I didn't buy the first laptop I saw, I was careful in my selection. This SSD business is just a new thing for me, however. I agree that a desktop is arguably better & preferable, & I…
Hi y'all! I've been kinda busy + started having some 'puter troubles to boot! So I've been catching up some. There's too much to respond to individual posts but I have to say: @Mikezumi Both the Winchester boys, at the same time! You naughty girl! :wink:
@igazor Yeah, I'll probably take it to a local shop, or have a friend who works at a pc shop look at it. Hopefully later this week. If the SSD is a separate drive then it's down inside the laptop, since the one reachable from the access panel is the Toshiba HDD, and I don't particularly feel like taking the whole dang…
@Nichaedemus I'm not sure exactly how old the drive itself is, as I said I've only had it just over a year. It was bought as "refurbished", which could mean anything from the dealer putting in an extra ram stick & doing a clean reinstall of the OS, to completely replacing everything inside. I suspected that the SSD died,…
@HabsFan1988 Also, if you get Sims 3 on Steam it can be played offline, either in Steam's offline mode, or you can start directly from the ts3w.exe in the game files & bypass the launcher & Steam completely. (Steam Sims is "capped" at version 1.67) I know "re-buying" everything on Steam may not be your ideal solution, but…
