Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm feeling thankful for the small things today.  And my birthday!

And of course The Sims!

Go 4th, be bountiful and Sim!

Check check...is this thing on??

Yeah, I've been neglecting this thing lately.  Too much work, too many pity parties.  I dunno, since I messed up my game I just haven't felt like playing much.  The thought of redoing the few buildings I lost just seems like too much work right now.  And as always I have more ideas than time to do them all.

Okay, enough of the Debbie Downer stuff.  This week is Thanksgiving and my birthday.  I acknowledge the birthday but not the age.  Yeah, I'm aware of it but don't have to pay attention to it.

Now I'm going into build mode to figure out where to go from here.

Go 4th and Sim!

So yeah, I was trying to do stuff with my game that I know I should've and I messed it up.  All my current saves got borked and I thought all my screenshots and videos were gonzo.   And what caused this???  All because 20 minutes was too long to wait for the files to copy in case I messed up my game by putting potentially bad files in.  Yeah, what a fucking idiot.  But luckily I have been better about saving and backups especially with the mess I had last year.

So basically I lost two months worth of work but with the way I play if I can even call it that.  I figure that I've lost two new lots and one I redid along with two months of videos and screenshots.  Which considering that I thought I lost everything from the last six months is something I can deal with.

Something else I realized is that I have Sims folders all over my computer.  WTF??  Yeah, really think I need to go back and figure out a better system.  For now I'm glad I don't have too much work to do to get the game back to where it mostly was.

And I've learned my lesson.  At least until I think I remember and don't and forget what I did and get myself in a mess all over again.  Hello sunburn!

Go 4th and Sim!

Hotdog Halloween!

As I like to do every so often is wonder WTF I'm doing with this whole blog thing.  And I figure not a whole lot but I still do it.  Even less goes on my tumblr account.  Now I have some ideas but they just seem to take up a lot of time.

Yeah no purpose for this post at all.

A big Sim Acres Thank You!

After coming home from a craptacular day at work I found that I had been gifted 4 items from my wish list.  Thank you fellow simmer!  I hope to return the favor one day!

Go 4th and Sim!

This is the end?

Got my copy of Into the Future today at my trusty local Walmart.  They made it tricky to find since they moved all the PC games by the console games and had it hidden on a bottom row.  But I found it!  Then I played a little Wii U with an employee.  That was fun.  We were both amazed at how far games have come.

Got home, installed and started playing.  I found the game of my nerdiest sim so far and used her to travel into the future.  Why the hell do I keep putting an extra R in future???  Anyhoo, here's some pics.

Plumbots don't like to get wet either.

Harvesting in the Wasteland.

Chilling with some future descendants.

Well, now that's not right.

Future zombie.

Plumbot at the summer festival making friends.

Still need some work on the jetpack.

Overall my first impressions are pretty good.  I think I picked the right kind of sim to try all this new stuff out.  Honestly this probably wouldn't have been my choice of theme for an expansion.  That would've been Island Paradise or Showtime. Yet, I'm enjoying it all so far.

Hopefully now things will slow down a bit with releases.  I still feel like there's so much I want to do with it like everything.  If it's all store stuff from now on it will be easier for me to resist.   I think I'm going to save my reflective thoughts on the entire series for another post.  If this is the last expansion/stuff pack to come out, they did good.  Of course, I would probably say that about anything that came out.

Go 4th and Sim!
