Published: 19 May 2010
Look at this glorious screenshot taken from the system information of my desktop PC: You see that? All 4GB of my RAM are finally recognized by Windows 7! No more “4GB (3GB usable)”! I just now installed the 64-bit version because I’ve been having a slew of troubles with The Sims 3 in [...]

Sims 3 World Adventures arrived

Published: 17 November 2009
Whoo, The Sims 3: World Adventures arrived today! I had preordered it on EA’s site but was dubious about it 1) arriving the day it was released (i.e. today) and 2) actually being left on my doorstep/mailbox versus being stashed in some package center for me to go and pick up with my [...]

I’ve been playing American McGee’s Alice recently and seeing all the environments and their beautifully detailed textures again, especially with my new video card, has made me want them as wallpaper and flooring in The Sims 2.

Sims Seasons and yoga

Published: 4 June 2007
This past Saturday’s plans had included a trip to Kings Island since Lexmark gave me two free tickets, but Todd and I decided against that when we considered 1) it might rain, 2) it was a long drive, 3) if it didn’t rain it would be hot, and 4) long lines. Instead, I bought [...]
