jennythereaderSaturday Tom placed the order for all the bits and pieces that he's going to put together into a new computer for me. I told him what I want it to be able to do, and what price range I wanted to stay in, but he made all the specific decisions about what to get.
Last night the case arrived. I expect all the various innards will show up through the rest of the week.
I did a little reading, and figured out that the easiest way for me to get all my Sims 2 stuff from the old computer to the new is to network the two computers together and then just move the files manually. I'm definitely going to move the houses and things that I've downloaded, but I'm not sure about if I'm going to move the families that I've been playing. It might be interesting to start fresh.
I also recently learned about the Legacy Challenge. Now, the basic concept of seeing if you can keep one family going for 10 generations is pretty cool, but I don't really like all of the restrictions they put on it. No custom furniture? No cheats? (Although, the only cheats I ever use are both allowed, with restrictions.) No mods? My plan is to try it with the stuff I have, and if I can actually make a game last that long with my extras then I'll try by the rules.
