Give Birth and Drop Dead

Your patience is in inspiration :D. I hope that you computer is small enough that you can get comfortable while using it. I like mine (thank you son) but I think I'm going to get a mouse for it. That touch-pad is driving me batty, it's super sensitive.
Yes, I just got a new laptop and the first thing I did was attach an external mouse. Those touchpads cramp my hands! I also have a lap desk, and a laptop riser for ventilation, a fan that clips to the side of the lapdesk, not to mention a 100 ft. cable (must get wireless!) and the power cord, so it kinda defeats the purpose of having a laptop if you buy it for its easy portability! I wind up dragging a lot of stuff from room to room, but at least I can sit on my couch and "play". Heh. Make that "work".

(must get wireless!)
Yes Brynne, you must. I love my labtop, its small, very portable and wireless. I do have to get the riser (or labtop coaster as my daughter laughingly refers to), I don't want it to get damaged.
It's so valuable in my University too (the real life one). I can use it in my office, in the lounge, and in the class room. So far I'm loving it.
The day you can really start playing again, and are finished with your major work-over, I'll be breaking out the champagne. Just reading about it exhausts me :D

Well, I've been playing a little more, lately. I was getting frustrated with all the work involved in straightening out this game!
I love my lappy, too. My first one was a fancy doorstop and had to be sent in for repair 4 times. Note that I just bought it in February (Valentine's Day present from hubby). The store finally gave me store credit and I bought a much lighter one (pentium m), so that's easier to deal with. My "old" one was, like, 10 pounds. But it's funny, I'm sure, to others when they see me trying to set up on the couch or bed or wherever with all these cords and cables. It's like tangled Christmas lights from hell. The convenience of a laptop!
Still trying to adjust to this new keyboard...

My laptop just hasn't got the same video capabilities, so I rather gave up with it. also, once the neighbourhood got fairly busy, and the houses larger, it crawled. (I only bought it last September, state of the art Sony Vaio, but how quickly things get updated!) I found the touchpad very awkward compared to using a mouse, there were defintely things in Build Mode that I just couldn't do!

I've seen quite a few posts on the BBS about the strange "choking" death for pregnant sims. The common denominator was that either the pregnant sim or someone else residing on the lot went to a community lot during the first trimester of pregnancy (before the pregnant sim starts "showing"). So unfortunately it's apparently not safe for anyone on the lot to visit the community lot during the first trimester. But usually the pregnant sim dies during the pregnancy, maybe something with Castor moving in had something to do with it (if I'm reading your post correctly he moved in mid-pregnancy, right?). It's one of the strangest death glitches I've ever heard of, akin to the "mystery pet illness" from TS1 Unleashed that Maxis refused to acknowledge (even though many a TS1 player lost a pet to it).
