Boo Hoo Hoo

I have some sad news: all my Sims characters were whiped from my computer when I got the Generations expansion. (I suspect it has something to do with the buggy version of the mother game my idiot ex illegally downloaded.) This means there will be no more Harry Potter stories for quite some time, until I can remake the players. I'm very sad because I had lots of fun making "Snape's Diary" and had about a hundred screenshots lined up for further installments. :(

For now, I'm casually playing with disposable Sims until I can figure out what went wrong, and remedy it. (I'll probably just buy the mother game and re-download everything again...if my Sims keep disappearing, I'll call tech support or whatever, or write an angry letter.)

I had some really awesome shots of more Sims mistakes, too! Like a lady driving home from giving birth, balancing her newborn on the steering wheel. Gold like that.

Oh well. The bright side is I've had lots of free time (since it deleted my stuff) to go through moving boxes. Oh yeah, and I moved! I thought it would be a complete nightmare (being in an SUV with three dogs, a cat, and a guinea pig travel cage in my lap), but surprisingly went quite smoothly. The animals are all adjusting well (except for when dog Boo got a foxtail between his toes and had to go to the vet), and I'm adjusting well (except for when the admissions counselor lady wouldn't let me register until I've taken a placement test...and placement tests aren't until AUGUST).

But I'm having fun. I got some outdoor skates for my birthday and I think I'm getting the hang of them! Derby here I come! All I need is a sassy Derby name...and some indoor skates...and some gear...and to learn to skate when everyone's trying to push you down...
