I’m pretty annoyed with my new computer right now and multiply that with boredom equals this blog entry.
So… the whole point that Garr bought me this new computer was so that I could start installing things on it (since my old one wasn’t running off a verified copy of Windows, hence didn’t like me trying to install new games) so now it’s got FFXI back on it and Sims 2, which I haven’t really had much chance of playing. The other day I just went into town with my pal, Amy, and then back to her place where she showed me a few things that she was up to on her copy of the Sims 2. Obviously, after watching Amy’s shenanigans I wanted to get home and start playing too (since I’m just a build/decorating-holic). Spent the past 2 days on-and-off building a new fancy house for mine and Garr’s characters. Then I got bored and created a random Romance sim so I could have some fun… took 10 minutes to decorate the house… 10 minutes into playing the game crashed. The reason? Apparently the 700-odd MB Ram isn’t enough and I need to get some more for it.
So, to sum up. I can create new characters, build and decorate but it wont let me actually play the game. Great. I love my new computer.
I’ve been experimenting with some food for Garr (because my diet consists of… potatoes) and I took some Commsie-esque photos which I’ll probably post up when I can be bothered to upload them.

Crud comments where cut off.
My old computer could not handle Sims 2. 321mb of ram and 666mhz. x.X Not to mention the lag and so many crashes! It eats ram like nummy nothings!

Yeah *sulks* Although I don’t think the 5GB of custom content helps it at all…
Oh well, I’m getting some new ram in time for the weekend so hopefully I’ll actually be able to play it then. I’m getting bored of making new characters ^^;
