Guys... I want to start a new legacy. See, this is what happened:
I had to reinstall Windows two weeks ago, so I made backups of my Sims folders to drop back in after I reinstalled the game and expansions. I decided to try out BV, which was a huge mistake because it made my game lag so viciously I haven't been able to play more than an hour at a time because it was just
too frustrating. So I got rid of BV. I was sure I still had the backups I'd made two weeks ago, but when I went looking for them, they were nowhere to be found. Luckily, I have backups I made after installing BV, so my game files
are still there, they just can't be played without BV.
I'll be getting more RAM tomorrow, so I can reinstall BV and play it until I get FT, and then get rid of BV again. But, I've heard people with killer computers complain about BV lag, so there's no guarantee the RAM will help all that much. And I won't be getting FT for at least two weeks, because I can't afford both the RAM and FT all at once, and I don't want to even attempt to run another expansion before I get that RAM.
Or I can extract the Dallases from the BV saves, drop them into a BV-less game, and fix their personalities, skills, jobs, etc. with SimPE. And build them
another new house (I'd just finished one two weeks ago). And live with the fact that none of them will have memories or familial ties to their ancestors and I won't have any gravestones and it won't be
the real Dallases. I know it's silly to worry about that, but it does bother me.
Or... I can scrap the Dallases and start a new legacy. I think I'm mostly inclined to do this because I was so unbelievably frustrated when playing them over the last two weeks. I know it's not their fault, but all the same, it just made me really sick of them. Also, most of my downloads mysteriously went missing, and although the lovely and amazing
simplicist is going to send me her downloads, I don't know when she'll have the time to do it, and I'd rather not start the Dallases again without them. But I could start playing a fresh lot tomorrow with very minimum CC!
Ugh, I don't know. I loved the Dallases, but I'm so weary of them now, and I'd like a fresh start without the headaches of a huge house and eight Sims on the lot. And I'm sure a new legacy would bring the lulz just as much as the Dallases did. So do I really need them?
So, my friends: what do you think?
MOAR QUESTIONZ: Founder names? I'm sort of in love with the surname Faraday right now, but I'm at a loss for a first name.
