When I was little I loved to watch this one Discovery Channel special on egg eating snakes.  That's what I'm picturing now.

Yes, the free furniture bazaar. In the 'burbs, this is commonly a yearly event in spring right after the first round of garage sales. In the city, this happens year round as people switch apartments.

I just moved into my own apartment, and got an awesome pink 50's child's toy refrigerator to use as an endtable by grabbing it off the street.  But then again, it did have a "Free" sign on it.

I figured from the wording.  I was agreeing with you.

...but do you really think EA sat in a room and said, "So I'm thinking that due to the amino acids sims with the vegetarian trait should live longer.  And ghosts!  Wooooo!"

If you peel a kiwi, you get rid of all of the fiber of the thing.  That's why nutritionists say to not peel it.  Personally, the texture of the skin bugs the hell out of me, so I do anyways.

Why the hating on nectarines?  I'm addicted to them right now.  So delicious.  The only sucky part is getting them off the pit.  But I guess, thinking about it, it is a very fleshy fruit.

Thank you, you just found my new desktop background.  Win!

It seems like sim parents pick favorites.  Whenever I've had twins, immediately each parent starts rolling a bunch of wants to do stuff with one twin.  Sometimes they pick the same twin, sometimes different, but they always focus on one.

Except that neither elder is insane.  I never said that, and I would have mentioned it.

Yeah, that's what happened.  They both wanted to see Francesca get married, but only the guy wanted his son James to get on the honor roll.  Weirdest thing.

As soon as my sim hit elder, he suddenly got a wish to see his daughter married.  The only problem- she's already married.  The guy has a good relationship with the parents, so I don't know where this is coming from.  But then it got weirder.  Grampa suddenly got a wish for his adult son to get on the honor roll.  I just deleted the wishes.  Is this something I should be worried about, or is it just a little programming hiccup?

I envision it as similar to a blueberry or chocolate chip pancake.  Grapes probably would work, but watermelon definitely wouldn't.  The liquids would throw off the chemistry of the thing.

Last I heard, Peggy doesn't play the game herself (but that might just be applicable to The Sims 2).

Yup, they work perfectly.  I'm scared of it if it will crash my game, though.

I downloaded it.  I'll report back in a minute or two.

EDIT: First EA patch wants to download!
" Complete list of changes:
Addresses some issues with Speed 2 and 3 moving too slowly. Some machines will have better results when using Speed 2 and 3 now.
Fix to story progression on/off selection toggle.
Fix for a possible crash with audio code.
Fix for babysitter routing off lots with babies.
Addresses some issues with Vsync and refresh rate problems.
Addresses some issues with DVD authentication errors and drive compatibility on startup.
This update deals with some issues on Mac systems that can crash the game while connecting to AFP servers.
Fix for a freeze that can occur when Sims attempt to clean out bad food from the fridge."

EDIT2: All the color sliders work, but the thumbnail isn't updated.

Are the crashes happening just when the hair is being used, or simply when the package is installed?

Yup, that's what I did.  Google Documents is a godsend.

I love it.  I'd download it in about two seconds.  But it would need a custom announcement in the newspaper.  Someone more creative than I should definitely write it.

I use Webspiration (www.mywebspiration.com) to make a diagram of my Legacy family.  It's handy to have an expanding family tree in it.

The wife of my old married couple died, and their relationship was changed to "Fiancee" in his family tree.  Also, their relation to their children was marked in the "we made a baby in the lap of sin/unmarried" way.  I'm not sure if that's significant at all.  Now they're both dead, and under Partner, it says "None".  I guess in Simland "Til death do you part" is taken literally.

One of my sims started playing the guitar.  Her husband picked up their granddaughter and carried her outside to listen to the music.  I thought it was so incredibly cute.  I also like the parties.  My only complaint is that if you have multiple people sharing a party, everyone takes off after the second cake.  It would be nice if they would stick around for an hour afterwards so that my birthday sims could actually say hi.  I love the aging of the other households.  It's been fun to invite the grandkids over and see what their lives have been like.

Random townie spawn name FTL:

The animation for that could be epic.

I've been looking for the music from The Sims 2.  I want some of those pop songs that came with OfB and AL for the custom music station.  I'm a purist with my Simlish, and won't allow any English in my game.  Any tips as to where to look (without buying, I already bought the game, so I sure as hell don't want to pay separately for the music)?

Who the hell uses a beeper now, anyway?

Matthew's phone rang while he was in the shower.  Where the hell was he keeping that thing?

Figured as much, but I thought it couldn't hurt to describe how my process works.  I don't know if the Sims3 coding treats it differently, since I know absolutely nothing about programming.

I'm on a laptop, so I don't have a scrollwheel.  I sometimes use my mouse, but the scrollwheel has been acting up lately (it will scroll, but clicking and holding it does nothing).  For scrolling, I can use the side of the pad, and for clicking and holding the scrollwheel, Sims 3 allows me to hold down both the right and the left mouse buttons.  That doesn't work in all games, though.  So basically, I have the capabilities to use a scrollwheel, but in different forms.  I hope that wouldn't be a problem.

If Awesomemod does end up needing a scrollwheel, give us a little advance notice, so that us strangeos can take care of our system.
