Computer issues

11/15/2009

So my laptop has been freezing randomly while playing Sims 2 & 3 and World of Warcraft for the last couple weeks. I had forgotten that I have a warranty on it from Best Buy so the Geek Squad guy told me to back up everything and restore the laptop to factory settings then try reinstalling the games again so it should be fine or I could “come back and punch” him (in his words lol). I’m lazy and figured I’d try it later on but the graphics card (Nvidia GeForce 7100m) is already “outdated” and it’s “not supported” by Sims 3. I can play Sims 3 on it with the graphics at the lowest settings but it’s horrible.

I bought a new desktop with an Nvidia Geforce GTX 260 graphics card and it’s amazing how beautiful the Sims and WOW look. Sims 2 & 3 loading times are extremely fast and I’m now attempting to play Sims 3 again. Foundations and walls can connect now but now the floor tiles above it are uneven (?!) so I’m still learning a lot about the new build abilities and stressed too lol.

My Sims 2 pictures are on the laptop so this blog is going to be going slow. I’ve found some amazing Twilight Sims so I’ve been playing those mostly and may blog about those later on.
