kyburgI really had no idea the old busted joint was as busted as it was. In all honesty, I should expect the motherboard to fail at this point within the next ten bootups - it's that bad.
How do I know? I have a new machine that took my old Sims 2 game and ran it without flinching. Hacks and all? Hacks, over 5 gigs of custom content and all.
I do know now how many Sims you get in Pleasantview in a clean install, all expansion packs. 725. My game? 2,689. It's a month older than the kid, and this is the fourth machine I've ported it to, and the third OS.
The old machine takes nearly half an hour just to boot the OS. As soon as I can, I will retire it to a glorious recycling. And cry like a little kid - 2005 was really a vintage year, it turns out. Who knew?
