Here We Go Again

      Well, I recently botched the best game I ever had going in The Sims 2. I thought I could install a second expansion pack, but I'd forgotten that somehow, it was damaged. It killed the launcher. I think it's a permanent thing; it still won't work. And the sucky thing is, it did earlier. Got my hopes up. I made a beautiful couple and they had a beautiful baby. With red hair and big blue eyes. Her name was Gaia.
      I moved them into this huge house that took me an hour or two or three to make. I learned that watering your Sim's plants actually revives them, instead of killing them off; like in literally every other Sim game I played. I got my Sim to hire a maid, who watered the same plants for eight hours, and then I got my Sim to fire her. She left without completing her job, so my Sims did it.
      Right now, frozen in time, never to be played again; the baby is sleeping and the happy couple is sitting on the lounge chairs outside, dreaming of the other kids they want to have. It had cooperated. It was fun, for the briefest time. I should have moved them into a crappy house so I could play them for three hours, instead of thirty minutes. Now I'm all disappointed because, even after my brother fixed my computer and made it run nice and fast again; it still will not work.
      I ran Troubleshooter. It says it's an incompatible program. Guess what my program compatibility says? "Excellent compatibility!" What a shock. Even machines are hypocrites.
      But, I guess it's for the better. Now, instead of playing my beloved, half-hour-old family; I can do other fun things. Like write my crappy book, which is going all over the place but having no real destination. Or I can take that Tylenol. Or go to bed.
      When did I get old?

    1. Me too! But, it has done this before and then I played for the best few months in all my gaming history. So hopefully if ever my computer gets a complete reinstall, it would work again.
