Nostalgia: Sims 2

Well I am finally doing it. I am reloading The Sims 2.

It's a long process - I have all the expansions as well as the Stuff packs, and the main expansions tend to want Disc 1 put back in at the end of the installing of that exp.

Then I will have to excavate all my custom content, which is divided up into a dozen or more folders for sake of copying convenience.

I don't have any of my old saves, and I seriously doubt I have any old saves of my pet favourite homemate sims. Oh, I can attempt to rebuild them, but there's no absolute guarantee I'll get them the same. Ultra Magnus may get fertilised by the wrong alien. Aeris and Squall's baby may take more after Squall - id I can find the original Aeris I had who mothered Ellone Ifalna.

And I don't have much hope of that.

I hope I have a better chance wih regaining Starwing.

ETA: As it turns out, I am missing huge swathes of CC I thought I had. Namely sims I thought I had. The most egregious absence is, of course, my TF sims, and my extra optional aliens. I will have to hunt them down, and it looks like I can't have Sunstorm or Dawnwar again, since those recolours came from Dogbite.

I am probably also missing all that cool content that made Starwing look cool in the icon on this post - wings, Cardasian dress, Terminator skin, possibly even the hair style.

If so, I will probably slink back to the comforting arms of S3 and Baldur's Gate 2.

I may be lucky... there seems to be pre-existing Optimus content, so I just hope that also includes Ultra Magnus.

ETA - The Revenge: ( I Am Relieved )

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Look who I found in Toy R Us?





He only costs $60 which is slagging cheap, though I couldn't afford it today, because frankly, even the money I used to pay for lunch (today is Mum's birthday) has come out of my rent.

If I could wrangle it, I'd buy him on Friday, but I already have a $150 phone bill, plus all my laybuys and also payments to glasscamel. (Glass, don't take that as any sort of complaint. If anything it's a complaint about myself and my getting into so much at once.)

I also saw the Hasbro Ultimate Optimus Prime toy - the big one complete with a proper trailer that turns into wings. I am very likely to laybuy that one as well.

Maybe if I can at least get a reasonable amount paid on the phone, at least $50 to Glass, Rodi, and at leat $5 each to everything else, I'll be okay.


Or I could win lotto.


In totallly unconnected matters... ( This Is My Bleh Face )
