So, story time. I have a crappy laptop. I haven't owned a brand-new computer since 2010. When that one died, my Dad's then-partner gave me an old one of this. That one had overheating problems if it ever collected any amount of dust. And following the move of 2016, it developed a row of dead-pixels approx. 3 cms down the screen. It was awful for gaming so I mostly just used my fiance's $2000 computer for sims (he only uses it to watch Youtube videos 99% of the time anyways. ). At Christmas, my sister felt sorry for me and gave me her old laptop (definitely an upgrade). But it was still really slow when it came to TS4 so I eventually stopped using it for gaming, too. Then one day my fiance wanted to play minecraft with me and it wouldn't boot minecraft. Now in a better position financially, he replaced the RAM and gave it an SSD so we could play minecraft together. Two days later, we played Minecraft together. Four days later, I forgot about the whole thing.
So then last weekend he was watching 5 hours of northernlion playing into the gungeon on his computer and I wasn't allowed to kick him off so I was like 'what the hey, I'll just put up with my computer being laggy and goof around in build mode or something.' But then the game booted. In less than a full minute. And it ran, with half decent graphics. And it coped with my demands. And after awhile this vague recollection of conversations about RAM and SSDs came to me, and I realised 'hey, I can play sims on my computer.'
So I decided to start another challenge. A nice short one, to be played only when the fiance requires the use of his 3 graphics cards and 64GB of Ram to watch ManyATrueNerd play skyrim or whatever. (I exaggerate only a little bit).

Teresa's first attempt took forever to find the hypnofrog. I had 20 frogs and no hypnofrog. The published attempt I got very lucky.
Great start!

It's so tempting to try though, isn't it? You're like "I know this will end badly but...I want tooooo." I feel your pain.Bouncer wrote:Fudge, why did I read this.... Now I want play S4 on my laptop that heats up way too much. Aww well... At least I have TS2 and TS3.

That dice roll is going to be the death of me I think. I don't generally enjoy chaotic households but I guess it's all part of the challenge?Livvielove wrote:Haha, I love your start! Haru is one of my favorite names!

I attempted to play with Sims 4, but my computer has time limits for how long I can play before explosion/shutting down. Shall enjoy your challenge while I try to figure out how to play the other two versions.
Also enjoyed reading this

I'm loving this! The house looks good and I like the floorplan so I'm excited to see what it looks like as the family gets more money.
