Reinstall order of events...additional help needed...

<< < (5/7) > >>

ZephyrZodiac:
Well, make sure with all this worry you take time to look after yourslef!

Ivy:
Zephyr,

Thanks for the concern.

Hubby makes certain that I get my rest if nothing else gets done :) . 

I just can't do it all.  And I do believe that hubby agrees with me:  the Sims are more important to my sanity right now than a clean house is ;) lol

:) :) :)

Okay, after much computer surgery, I ended up getting a new motherboard, processor (2.8mhz), memory (1gig), graphics card (128mb) and hard drive (80mb).

This will hold me over for a lil while at least ;) .

So now, I have reinstalled the base game and University.  I have re-installed my most important neighborhood and I have inserted my haks.

And lo and behold, somehow, I managed to save the few things I had made into my "Saved Sims" folder, and it was able to be retrieved.

Unfortunately, I had lost my entire downloads folder in the crash. 

So time to rebuild it.

I'm under the impression that anything other than genetics and clothing can go into subfolders in my downloads file.  I'm also under the impression that clothing and genetics can either go into the downloads or saved sims folder.

Are the above impressions correct?  If not, can someone please let me know before I get too far into rebuilding everything. 

I'd really appreciate it :)

2.8mhz processor? You're giving me smiles with your typos now :)

I keep everything important backed up in three places - the internet (my own dedicated server comes in useful sometimes... :P), on DVD and on my partner's spare hard drive (on his computer). I don't have that much important stuff, and I figure I can always replace downloads, since my folder is only about 200mb at the moment... :P

I think that's correct Ivy over downloads... but I'm not certain - maybe someone else knows?

Ivy:
Whoopsie...yes 2.8ghz lol .  That's what I get for trying to type that stuff in when hubby's not home to correct me :o lol

The problem with replacing the downloads is trying to remember where I got them all from...lol...and tracking them all down again.  My poor Legacy family is so mixed up now...they have bare walls atm and incorrect hair and eye colors...yikes!  I think I'll have to invent something in the story to explain all the changes!

Thanks for letting me know that sounds right.  I'm off to see if what I've downloaded so far is in the right spot(s).

:) :) :)
