With my new laptop I am officially on an adventure of installing the sims. Both 1 and 2. The complete sets, because I happen to have both and am curious if they will work on windows 8. #ThisShouldBeFun Sims 2 seems to have installed all right, I had the complete collection off of Origin, but Sims 1 is all CDs from who knows what year and the CD player is ReALLY fucking loud holy shit. Anyoen else into the sims?? I have plans to play THIS challenge. The whole blog there is a challenge and it has so many rules that it makes my head spin and I lvoe complicated shit like that. Debating documenting the fun somewhere just becAuSE. Wonder if there's still challenges and shit around for the Sims 1, but it's hard enough just finding shit for Sims 2 anymore, all the forums are dead. ... one day I'll get the ful Sims 3 and then Sims 4 I'm a monster.

I think @trinity still has Simposium, but I don't know if it's still kicking. I'm not a big enough fan to commit to a forum for it, props to y'all.

I looked for the forum but I think it got taken down unfortunately? Unless the URL i tried was the wrong one, but I couldn't find a link anywhere. Right now I'm just floating around modthesims and the official forums, plus this one other forum thats centered around the Inteetinmator mod, I think, But i can't join because their registration is hella weird and requires an email host that I don't have/can't figure out how to get #weird. On the bright side, I'm on disc 4 of the Sims 1 and it's still going fine, the drive even stopped making scary noises. Soon I can test to see if it'l play

I play sims 2 and sims 3. Mainly because I got the complete collection from origin like everyone else. That challenge looks really neat though. I've been looking for something to spice up the game a little bit.

/clings to and pets/ yessss my precious, yessssss i just have to set up all my spreadsheets and shit and im terrified of trying to install any mod yet, so i'll prob end up doing a lot of the mortgage and such stuff by hand- involving more fun spreadsheets. yaya

I like spreadsheets more than I like the stress of installing mods to be honest. I'm too afraid of breaking something vital to the program or bluescreening my poor baby to do it.

Agreed, and nothing quite as satisfying as a sheet or doc filled with numbers and things you get to calculate every round, right? Maybe we're just crazy but math is fun and fulfilling when it's noT FOR A STUPID GRADE OR TAUGHT BY STUPID MR. WATERS.
that was 8th grade me shining through. i will never get over that one teacher.
Anyways. yes. i'm downloading all the example spreadsheets that wur on that site and making a mini-list of rules so i can remember them all XD
plus need to figure out which of the additional rules i'll integrate and which not. Not a huGE fan of the random marriages, i love the dating, but I do need to stop being sucha control freak... maybe a roll for random marriages.

Random marriages would scare me too much even on sims. My babies need love not to be some random arm candy of a 60 year old man 8I

omg yeah im kind of the same mentality, i figure i can try it for awhile and then ditch the idea if it's too weird? I was also thinking that if I want to not random-roll for marriage then I could use CAS sim points for it instead of one? Otherwise they do a 80-20 chance between Marrying at all and Not Marrying, then if they marry its 75-25 for Random-Player Done.
And they only get two rounds to find dere mate and marry before i book 'em
now IF I COULD FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO THIS WINDOWED MODE tHING THATD B GREAT

daaaamn, well guess it won't work much better for me then. now i just need to track down all the spreadsheet downloads i KNOW they had on that site. i downloaded them before like 1000 years ago last time i tried and failed the challenge. /hunts vigrousouly through multitudes of text.

Yeah win8 does not like the sims at all. Especially not when you're trying to play it in windowed. To be honest it takes a couple tries on getting it to load it at all. Good luck on the spreadsheet finding though. needs to clean out some files on the computer so that they can find things too

XD im actually lucky because starting on a new laptop means evERYTHING IS ORGANIZED. for liek five days before i start making files na unorganizing it all i have no sense of organization at all. I'm surprised I haven't run into more problems- it's a touch screen windows 8 and both sims 1 and 2 installed fine, though I haven't actually started plAYING them extensively yet. now im gunna open that notepad and start jotting down abbreviations of all the rules for quick reference. really excited for the mortages and loans. why am i excited for mortgages and loans. dear god help me. UPDATE: I FOUND THEM CACKLES
