Bless Her Heart

I so stoopid.

I forgot about the patches. That was part of my problem with Pets. Not to mention Family Fun Stuff. I knew about the patches. I knew I needed to patch my games. But it slipped my mind. My excuse is that Double Deluxe came with the patches and I didn't need to patch it. I've decided just now that I'm not going to load Pets until I get some form of OFB. I am probably going to get the one at WalMart with Kitchen & Bath and H&M stuff packs. I thought I'd ordered IKEA but I didn't. That and Teen Style is dirt cheap on Amazon right now. I'll just get them there. Hopefully, I can find the elusive Glamour Life and Mansions & Gardens on there for something less than 18 dollars. I can't believe they want that for a USED game. And not even a real game.

EA should come out with a patch CD for people to ask for. Because, OH EM GEE, 20 MG per patch on dialup is a bitch. Maybe they do have something like that, but I doubt it. That would take foresight. And they aren't all nice and shit like Linux OS devs. Ubuntu is free to anyone who wants it. They should do something like this. It won't happen, but it's a nice fantasy.

But I did load UNI and I immediately went and played with my Frances J. I have soopersekret plans for Francky. I rearranged his house a bit, kachinged him up to a reasonable amount. I wanted to put up some extra walls and whatnot. I mean come on, that bedroom is terrible. If he wants a roommate he should have his own space. And I'm going to make the TV room into another bedroom and put the TV room upstairs near the bathroom. And put up a railing. I know the Sims can't fall over the edge, but it makes me nervous. 

Okay EA bitch time. Thanks for screwing up Frances' name! Assholes. I hate that you gave him the female spelling. I have a lot of Frances/is in my family and this is a big peeve of mine. It's like you set him up to be gay or something. JERKS. If you make a Marion or Marian in a Sims3 expansion pack and give the wrong name to one of the Sims I'm going to write a letter. I don't even play Sims 3. I'm just saying.
I hate they didn't give him a family tree either. You did it on NL with the Tricous and in Pets with Tara Kat (I could look up other EP families on the Wikia but I can't be arsed). You should have done the same for the Worthingtons. Obviously, he comes from the F.J. Worthington stock. But I want to know his mother's name and if he has any sibs. I want to know MOAR about my Frances J. Worthington, dammit.
I know I'm not the first to complain about this gross oversight. Nor will I be the last. I just had to get that out there.

Since I have all the Sims Stories, I've been considering extracting the Maxis made Sims from it. They are generally interesting looking Sims and have interesting backgrounds to them. They don't have any connections to Sims 2 at all. If I do this, I'll probably offer them to the Maxis Taste community. I could even extract the hoods from Life and Pet Stories. They are good hoods. I also have considered extracting some of the better houses. I could do all of them. I think many of them are more playable and better looking than base game homes. I'd like to burn some of those Veronaville homes down. And I know those hoods and  houses are out there, but I really hate how hard it is to find some things in this community.

If you like dance, trance and ambient music: BT, These Hopeful Machines. It currently spinning in my player and it's the best album he's done since ESCM. I recommend.
