I had that same problem a couple of months ago. It was infuriating.

Today, I've done nothing of note so far. And the rest of the day will be spent playing Sims 3.

Wow.. what a coincidence. That's my plans for today too!
Here's an experiment. I should design UESP as a unique town and put all the Sims 3 playing UESPers into it.

I can then walk over to your house in-game and talk about video games!

Can I be a dog?

As soon as Sims 3 comes out with their always-there Pets expansion, absolutely!

I'll have to have a few wolves hanging around too..

Then again I can have a pet cockroach. Wanna be a roach?

YES!

And no one else can, so I can bug the rest of you.

(excuse the pun)

Don't worry, I love puns! So, any special name for my roach, or will Coulsonji suffice? I'll see about taking a screenshot for you next time I play.

Coulsonji is fine, just to avoid confusion. Make sure no one steps on me

Today I've been constantly returning to the fridge, hoping something tasty for breakfast will have materialized. Until at last I found a bucket of yoghurt, omnomnom.

Oh, add me as well! I want in! Make me a short red head with awesome cooking skills.

I will hunt you down if you make me blonde...
Hmm, maybe I should get Sims 3, it seems like fun....

Mrs T, if you do, your family has to include Coulsonji the Cockroach.

I want to be in it as well! I'll settle for being a normal sim though.

And Mrs T, you should definitely get Sims 3.

Cactus · Post by **Cactus** » Wed Jun 17, 2009 1:43 pm

Hmm.. but what traits shall I give you guys? And how shall I make you all look? And what shall I name the town!?

I'm probably going to do this VERY slowly. I was thinking it'd be fun to make a four-bedroom "Mod House" as well with all of us living in it, ruling.

I mean peacefully guiding.. not ruling..

make me a smart evil person living in town who is just a bit crazy....and provide LOTS of sharp objects.

Today, I was challenged.

My friend and I are going to have a Portal Race. Test Chamber 1 until the end. Talking on Skype.

It's probably going to come down to load times.

I'd brave the depths of Sims 3, and employ Cactus to make my likeness. Brown hair down to my eye brows.

Weird i had the same problem on another pc. It only happened when i was on the internet, i only used that pc for checking the news updates, emails and such. I would just be reading about iran or somalia or something then bam, computer restarts. I was on the verge of formatting i was so fed up with it but it just randomly stopped.

Traits: insane, hates outdoors, neat, couch potato, bookworm.
Look: brown hair, blue eyes.
And I have no idea what to name the town.

Dark Lord Cam · Post by **Dark Lord Cam** » Thu Jun 18, 2009 7:55 am

just name the town darkovia.

you know its gonna happen anyway....

Cactus · Post by **Cactus** » Thu Jun 18, 2009 8:16 am

Today I made Dark Lord and Mrs T. They live together. In a few minutes I'm going to make them jobs and find a cockroach and name it Coulsonji because that's just epically hilarious. After that my next task is to make a secret Mod House, as I mentioned. After THAT, I'll start making the rest of you guys gradually.

Details:

Dark Lord (in-game - Chris Darklord)
Traits: Insane, Evil, Brave, Charismatic, and genius (his choices..)
Looks
Life goal : To become Emperor of Evil
Eventual career: Emperor of Evil

Mrs T (in-game - Mrs T Teatime)
Traits: Insane, Inappropriate, Brave, Natural Cook, Friendly (I wanted to add both "cute" and "adorable" but alas, they aren't choices..)
Looks
Life goal : Learn every recipe

Eventual career: Pastry Chef

If anyone (meaning Mrs T, since DL helped me make his) has any negative feedback, feel free to let me know and I'll use cheat codes to make changes.

Now to go play these guys...

Leilah · Post by **Leilah** » Thu Jun 18, 2009 9:18 am

I like the way you made Mrs T look

Yeepo · Post by **Yeepo** » Thu Jun 18, 2009 11:10 am

I wish you good luck with your town Cactus! And I wouldn't mind being a part of it.

Today I've only been reading. Or...the first to hours of this day I played the Sims 3, then I slept and after that I began to read. Soon I will eat lunch and continue to rule over my little sims.

Тeatime · Post by **Тeatime** » Thu Jun 18, 2009 11:22 am

Today I didn't try to fall asleep until 5:30am and even then it wasn't entirely voluntarily. I got up around 10am but I awoke quite some time before that. I'm rather tired...

Oh, my. That's actually quite good. Admittedly my hair is a bit longer at the front but that's probably as close as you can get

But Mrs T Teatime sounds a bit funny

How about combining my two aliases so that I get a full name for once? Minnasan Teatime?

Though that outfit is rather shameless, I'd never wear that, well, not without tights that is and from a purely practical point of view: those shoes would slay my feet. o.o Nyaargh...I want those gloves though...

I just checked the price for Sims, 399 crowns... It's too much for me at the moment but if I can convince my brother to share the cost I'm ordering it today.

Ahh, no one wants to share the cost with me but then again, my birthday's coming up in about 40 days or so....

It's worth the wait.

Cactus · Post by **Cactus** » Thu Jun 18, 2009 12:06 pm

Well, I can add in tights. Layered clothing ftw!
Any other predominant changes you'd like me to make? As for the outfit, I was going more for.. your persona, not the real Minnasan I know. There wasn't nearly enough pink ribbons or bunny rabbit images for that..

Birthday?! When?

I didn't authorize any birthdays..

Well, nothing at the moment but in time, cats, I've got to have cats. O.o

Oh, don't push your luck. I still know where you live.

Well, in the meantime thanks to popular demand by one person, you'll have a pet cockroach named Coulsonji. That will have to do, for now. I'm sure the Pets expansion will be out in a few months and I'll max out the available slots on just cats.

Minnasan wrote:Oh, don't push your luck. I still know where you live.

For now..
until I move about 4600 miles closer to you to a location you know not. Besides, I know where you sleep... *evil laughter*

Mrs T wrote:30th of July

*evil plots*

I forgot to mention, Dark Lord has requested that I play his character as a criminal, eventually moving up to the highest Criminal position called Emperor of Evil. Today on his first day on the job as "Decoy" he was arrested. FIRST. DAY.
Some evil overlord you're gonna be..

On the other hand, you're already wishing people dead. "See the ghost of Rhonda" is one of your wishes. She's your boss, and very much alive. You've also got another generic "See ghost" wish, so your whole "undead" shtick is still going strong, even in Sims 3.

Meanwhile Mrs T is climbing the cooking skill rapidly and is just a day away from her first promotion!
