Storytime: Problems (Part 2)

2GB computers are NOT made for running The Sims 3 & all its addons. At least that would be just the BIGGEST mistake I've ever made. EVER. How about letting an old grown up gal manipulating my account and acting like a 12 year old spoiled brat?

Whatever. I was still a "new member" on the forums. This is why I don't use forums. Because somebody just broke into my account and started the chaos pretending it was me. NO. It wasn't me. That pathetic hag Dark broke into it. SHE acted like a 12 year old. SHE demonized my account for a possible solution. A certain igazor user advised her to create a new thread... MY account was on New Member rank. To post your own thread you need to have in total of 50 XP.

Still the same. SHE replied "Same here" to threads similar to MY laptop's problems. Like... continuing animations, freezing etc. Tech responders replied to her "you've been ignoring the forums so we won't find a solution for you". She didn't care...

What's the deal? On my PC I've run into a few problems from September 2016 til May 2017. The laptop had the problems. Like... um... run Task Manager and then force exit the game while it's exiting. Wait your butt there until it exits. Oh, it was on 1.67 patch. TOO laggy to run Origin. TOO laggy to update to 1.69 patch.

May 2017. My computer crashed. It ran into a BSOD. I posted a thread on a Windows 10 forum. They replied "it's a virus". My dad said it wasn't. 2 days later I was installed a 32-bit OS on a 2GB computer. The same crashing irony.

A lot of crashing happened on June 16th 2017. My computer was crashing all the time. I mean my game. I was in the process of making a family but my game crashed in CAS. Hell no. I received NO help. Struggled with the shit till October. SO WHAT? I was forced my 16 year old self to act like an old pathetic hag. NO. That old pathetic hag (AKA Dark) broke into my account again. SHE spammed a thread like a 12 year old. Cries and panic.

SimGuruDrake replied back "trying to check if this account is legit". YES IT WAS LEGIT. Dark broke into it. It was time for me to play Stardoll 'cause it was the only way. While the gallery was fed up with Glass4Swan (I didn't have Sims 4 only the demo) Dark posted her ass there on the forums like a 12 year old. She was 28 but acted like a 12 year old spoiled brat. MY account was in danger of a ban because of HER!

Even checked my dad's e-mail. There was nothing suspicious from the forums. My account is now safe. Last posted in May, on a thread about Sims 4 packs.

This is why you shouldn't use tech forums kids... (or any other forum especially the Ice Chewers one)

"Lemon" ;) mixed with "milk" ;)

BYE.

Storytime: Error Codes and Me (Part 1)

From all these years of Sims 3 experience I took it just way too far. I mean who plays for like many hours a day and then leads to a dreadful error code. I've encountered something like this, but anything as bad as this.

So, here's how it all started.
One Saturday of April 2016 I wanted to continue playing my Capps in Roaring Heights to renew the saved game. I had a tendency of saving the game before 1 month of the save date in order for the picture to stay as in Edit Town.

I turned the computer on, opened The Sims 3 and started to play. Common thing for a 15-year-old girl then...

Then came up the main menu. I, wanting it or not, loaded Roaring Heights as I had the Capp family from the Sims 2. It was like a Generations series, therefore my channel wasn't made yet. I had the whole thing based on the generation from The Sims 2. I was playing The Sims 2 at the same time and wanted to modify the saved game just like in Veronaville. My crazy mind had turned the whole town a heap of chaos that's why I based the story per se.

It was about time to create more Sims. First I created a girl based on Hermione Granger from the Harry Potter series, I definitely didn't know my -strange- obsession with Harry Potter. That was at noon. Then I created a girl inspired by an actress (Shannon which you see at the header) and was about to save the game. If I had a channel I'd livestream this. Then...

It took a long time to save the fucking game. To avoid the waiting I ended up listening to The Fray and Secondhand Serenade. It not only took a long time to save the game but got an error code 12. I didn't know it had to do with installed RAM and how many CPU the game eats for the disk space.
After saving the game crashed in edit town mode. And yes, this is TRUE. I deleted whatever .bad files there were on my saves folder and continued normally my games WITHOUT loading that dreaded corrupted or WHATEVER THE HELL it is Roaring Heights town!!!

Then the CHAOS began. I was insecure of loading Roaring Heights to see if I get serious errors during loading, so I asked on the forums. I asked about "if I load Roaring Heights will I get the serious error message" or something like this. Some crinrict user replied to me "please send me your saved game to see if I can test it" I couldn't do that because I had other things to do in my head like... FINISH MIDDLE SCHOOL! Nor couldn't I find a way to do that. I didn't know her email only if I provided a download link for this atrociety or grey screens in game then back to the main menu!

Does this have to do with vanilla? To me nah. Just kept on playing the game on my laptop until finding a possible solution to this. I could be able to load other worlds EXCEPT for Roaring Heights. That mattered on my PC the most because of that issue. The day when I experienced the issue my game had crashed with an ACCESS_VIOLATION crash! (or whatever it was I just don't remember) Had to check the system overview - my OS was genuine. It had nothing to do with genuinity. I mean...

But my old laptop never had problems with error codes! For some weird reason I made the HUGE mistake of posting to a MAC forum (bluebellflora is the helper on MAC's) & then some igazor user ordered me to create a new thread even though I had the "new member" rank...

Part 2 coming soon!
