Been going through my inbox, realized I forgot to reply to this. I manage to lose things in my inbox all the time, tis sad.
Maybe because it's only a few little things like makeup, eye color, hair styles and simple clothes without many new meshes. I think objects may take up more memory.
Oh yeah. Those add up pretty quickly, but the biggest stuff are the crazy complex houses with water gardens and/or shaped like Klingon Birds-of-Prey. Looking at the individual files, it's hard to see how it's that big, but somehow his Sims 2 folder in the my documents spot is more than 3gb. Most of it is not in the downloads place, though, so the majority is other stuff, though I'm not sure what.
You don't miss work or school anymore that way (although you can get in trouble for being late, it's not as bad as missing a whole day).
Oh, that's good. I've run into some annoying glitches about the busses/carpool stuff and the vehicle getting frozen or stuck right there behind a passed out person on the street or accidently deleted or something that ended up with the people never being able to go to work/school again, so if only to avoid that glitch, it's cool. I'm glad they added the still getting in trouble thing, though. Realism is fun.
And you can become a vampire, which I find fun--although make damn sure they go to their coffin by 6:59 in the morning! They start dying in the sun pretty fast.
Ooh. It's not just "Oh, I'm tired, so I'll pass out on the street", but they actually die? Neat. I'm gonna have to pass that on to my brother. He'll undoubtedly start saving money faster. I've realized that when it comes to sims, I should just let him buy all of them and then I'll just use them. Because he's done it with other things my entire life (usually uses them and ruins it too), I should get some payback. ;D
And University was before Nightlife and didn't have the turn on/turn off thing.
Must have been also with Pets, then, because I know I've got it.
I haven't really used it much, but I may if I ever get time to just sit and play for more than ten minutes at a time again.
I know what you mean. I go for months and months without touching it, mainly because it took so much time to load up that once you got your family opened, you were out of time to actually play. Now that I've figured out a way to bypass all of my brother's junk that slows it down, it's not as bad, but stuff is still nuts that it makes it rare that I'm on the computer to do more than check my mail and do a quick lj update.
