So... *crosses fingers*... the computer seems to be fairly stable for now. I'm not sure how long that will last, but I might be able to get a chapter finished while it holds out. I'd love that to be tommorrow, but we'll have to wait and see.
Oh, so that was the scene you were trying to shoot the other day, right? It came out awesome! That Nervous (?) Clone reminds me of the "alien" from X-Files parody on the Simpsons (who was actually Mr. Burns... eh... yeah, I used to be a fan :P).
I'm sorry your hard-drive is giving you trouble again. I hope it gives you time to make a back-up of all your important files before it "blows up". I've never had an HP, but I had a Compaq and it was just as awful. By the time I got rid of it I spent 20 minutes just trying to turn the piece of junk on! (I had to press the "power" button over and over until it "reacted").
I then bought a Gateway desktop and it has barely given me trouble (it's not the best machine for the Sims, but it was perfect while I worked on my thesis). That's why I bought a Gateway laptop two months ago. It is much cheaper than the "big companies" and has a lot of stuff. I'm not sure if I should rec it for Sims, because it lacks a "true graphics card" (it has an integrated chip) but so far I've been able to play the Sims with 2 Gb of CC and most of the graphic options on high without trouble.
When you get your new computer, I can link you to the tutorial I followed to get rid of most of the annoying Vista crap that just slows the machine down (and that the regular use never uses) if you are interested.
WOW!! What a shot!! I am tempted to do the artsy-crafty square frame that the sims are so fond of. just WOW!! I love it, hopefully your comp stays stable!
wow. that is a great picture, made even greater by the fact that the sim so recognizable even when the features are almost completely obscured. good job!
WOOT, you got the picture you wanted and it looks fabulous.
*crosses fingers and does the please chant*
Hopefully that will give your machine JUST enough good mojo so you can get what you want done. Then it can go to the light. (I made that deal with my computer the last time it fell ill, "just let me make one quick backup, then you can rest")
You reminded me that I saw a real life Nervous clone last night... I was tempted to take a picture of him but I think he would have been scared by a random taking pictures of him...

Third, I hope you figure out your computer stuff soon. Make sure to back up anything you can before it goes kablooey!

So, how did you make the room dark? :) I guess it's not that Apartment Life bug.
