Supreme Commander
coconnor:
Thanks to both Leticron and JBoat for information, below. Even when it does not immediately solve your problem, I always find the information here at MATY is a pleasure and a learning experience, and these are both good in my book. Used to think I was pretty good at computer stuff ... have some friends that think "I know so much" ... but lurking here makes it apparent this is not quite the case. I find it fascinating, actually, to see what you all accomplish and know. I believe their perception of my technical proficiency stems more from knowing how to use Office applications and being able to troubleshoot general problems, like spyware, internet connections and obvious lacks; but certainly not the more technical aspects. And, I am certainly not in the "awesome" category when it comes to the modding that I see Pescado perform, or any of the other modders we have, for that matter. I have great respect for all of you. Since they have made it rather easy to recolor what already exists in the game, I can do that, but meshing is another concept that I have never had the time nor technical proficiency to really even contemplate. I didn't think this could be about the Internet connection either, but since I seem to be unable to get past the "freeze" problem, can't tell for certain.
I do think, at this point, that the problem is stemming from the heat issue, and also, most likely, because I have been trying to use the Supreme Commander to track what is currently 19 Sims (6 children stemming from the legacy family plus marriage partners, immediate family members (Mortimer Goth's mother) and spawn of said unions. Additionally, the rather large legacy house used to contain the original family (two adults and six children), in addition to the Goth house which one of the daughters married into. And, I am too controlling, and hands on with all of them. Can't be homeless, can't be jobless, must progress, etc.
Thanks to all for your help with this issue. Hope to be able to resolve it without having to "begin again". Monsieur Pescado, I certainly did not mean to imply that this was caused by Supreme Commander (which I love by the way, when having to deal with all these Sims), but rather wondered whether it was possible that I was doing something obviously wrong, being that it began when I enabled that option. Hope you don't mind if I ask for advice in reinstalling or whatever I have to do to resolve this. Have already backed up game files. And, I think I will make it a point to have them live less "lavishly" going forward.
J. M. Pescado:
Naw, your control freakery has nothing on mine. :P
coconnor:
Thanks, Pescado. I really appreciate that ... especially coming from you. Had a feeling that was, indeed, the case.
On another note, I find I am also having to learn the "internet lingo" you guys use throughout your posts. I sometimes have to go the online "Urban Dictionary" to figure out what you mean. And. sometimes even that is rather obscure! I am feeling distinctly "non-awesome". But, I thank God that I seem to have found people I can learn from. That sometimes seems (at least) to be a very rare commodity these days.
And, quite amusingly, earlier today, I found that I went from being a "Tasty Tourist" to an "Asinine Airhead". Although I cannot find the place on the site that defines at what post you progress to the next level, I did find it rather amusing. What will I become next?
I am, however, very glad that I was not assassinated by the "Grammar Police". I lurked for a long time before posting, having seen what happens to some people. I think you are all wonderful. I like being part of this. THANK YOU!
chaos:
The Grammar Police may not have gotten you (yet), but somebody else will, if you don't stop with the ass kissing. I'm just sayin'.
coconnor:
Sorry to offend. Didn't think of it as ass-kissing. Just giving credit where credit is due.
