Sims update!

Starting over with my new families (after my game crashed & took everybody with it).

JC & Justin started out as Hackers. It was an especially good career for Justin because he loves to come home and play chess (logic is a key component of the Hacker profession). It was not such a good career choice for JC, because he loves to paint (creativity is *not* a key component of the Hacker profession). Then one day, I had Justin stay home from work so he could work on his friends & skills needed for his next promotion. Unfortunately, the next day he got delayed on his way out the door to his carpool, and missed his ride. Being late 2 days in a row, he was fired. He got a new job right away though, as it worked out it was the Entertainment career that had an opening. The next day I looked in the paper to see if there was career more appropriate to JC's love of painting, and there was! So, now JC's a musician. I'm still waiting for a career that will take advantage of Justin's love of logic. I'm thinking Scientist, or Hacker. I'm hoping for Hacker. That was good field for him.

Since JC & Justin are set in their careers (or relatively set, anyway), they decided it would be a perfect time to adopt a baby. It's a baby boy, that they've named Scott. I'm personally hoping Scott will grow up into a very nice, very neat little boy who will love nothing more than to clean the house and make lots of friends. JC cleans up after himself most of the time, but Justin isn't the neatest person in the world. ;)

That's what made my game crash the first time around (or at least, that's what I suspect). :\ I got them to vacation island, but then it crashed. I was able to start it back up again and play while they were in vacation island, though. It was a lot of fun! I want to go back, soon, and try all the other places. I was surprised at how expensive it was though. $500 to *just* to get there, then at the winter lodge (where I stayed at) it was $120 a night. Next time I want to try the more rustic camping one, and see if it's cheaper.

Since I'm not using the cheats, I have to wait for a while for these families to save up enough money to really go on vacation and enjoy it. Maybe in a week or two (my time).

Okay, thanks. I hope it won't crash my game - I have too many neighbourhoods to start over! But I can feel I need something new to keep me interested until Sims2 comes - which I probably won't get until Christmas anyway.

Back up your userdata folders! That's the most important thing I learned. If I had made backups of just a day or so previous to when my game crashed, I most likely could've simply reinstalled them and moved on my merry little way.
