What the Hell is Going On with Sims 3 Store?

Going back in to try to get CAW back, I run into this problem.

Evidently something's gone hinky with the store...because CAP (Create-A-Pattern) is still available, but the Error 404 on the Sims 3 Store with regards to CAW (Create-A-World) is annoying.

My friends are probably nervous when I start creating them in Sims 3

I have a tendency to make old schoolfriends for shits and giggles.

Of course, like his RL namesake...he's up to shenanigans.

...like scaring the shit out of Phil.

While I'm trying to rebuild my game, I'm basically trying to test everything that I put in. I have very few cc right at the moment, since my entire collection of cc got borked at the same time that my HDD drive bit the dust. I'm not happy about that, but I have one other HDD drive that I MIGHT be able to recover.

At least I don't have to listen to someone going, "You shoulda bought a Mac..." Yeah, shaddup, Noel..."

Found out that I'm going to have to redo all my Sims...

...mainly because the HDD drive is a) missing a cord that I need (it's busted), b) all my other stuff is on a 3.25" HDD on my laptop which I'm going to have to get another case for and turn that into an external. Otherwise...if I don't want to wait, I'm going to have to re-make ALL my sims all over again.

Joy of joys. Oh, well, it's gonna give me some time to get some stuff done in terms of remaking all the CC I had before, but hopefully, I won't go so crazy on it this time around...except for the hairs and all that.

Here's a few more pictures from the game that I'm using as a test-bed for what I plan to do with the Selfacy when I get it back to where I want it to be.

Given the right makeup, River's still pretty.

Added in some cc

Welcome, Tiny.

Meet Tiny our newest member of our digital family. And she is TINY



She’s a Dell Optiplex 3050 i5 6500T 2.5 GHz -3.1 GHz with turboboost. So she’ll be able to play Sims 3 and SWTOR. She is a stop-gap system till I make my gaming system. But it’s impossible not to fall in love with how cutely tiny she is. It’s a desktop computer you can move easily.

To give you an idea of just how tiny she is…. Well here’s my hand and that’s her, right under it. 🤣 Adorbs right?

Well she’s got 16 GBs of DDR4 RAM and a 1TB SSD under the hood. 😁 so for that little frame, she’s got a lot of punching power. 😁

Now, I’ll be setting her up tonight and downloading SWTOR then Sims 3. I’ll also be setting up Photoshop and Premiere Elements. Then linking up my USB external drive. Gotta pick up a powerbar tonight too.
