Hur. Clearly, the subtle nuances of grammar cop macros are beyond my lowly comma-abusing self. All I know is, I see a policeman and I have an overwhelming desire to run up and knock their hat off.

To be fair, this guy is obviously ESL. I know jezzer is a new grammar cop, and thus eager to do his noble duty, but this seems a little harsh. I mean, if I were posting on, for example, a french sim site, all I could say is "OU EST LA BIBLIOTEQUE?" over and over.

Amg. What is with these weirdos? First Claeric with his 'no wimmins' and now IMBEcile with no peen in-game. I really don't get it.

Meh. I have no desire to play sims socially. Actually, I have no desire to play games socially in general. For me, social gaming = late night Mario Kart and nostalgic Goldeneye sessions. I would prefer it if this were a stand-alone game, like Sims Castaways or whatever. Then the teeny boppers could moon over their pixels together and misanthropic types can get on with the srs bznz of Simming.

His point is that it's got nothing to do with the TSR creator. Morons.

And people told me off for arguing about wood burning stoves!

I've been using twallan's noCD mod and bypassing the launcher, as my pets disc is really scratched. But I un-bypassed the launcher today to install a world, which seemed to install a-ok. However, now that I've bypassed it again, (by changing S3Launcher.exe to TS3W.exe in my info.plist) my game loads up until the point where you pick a save file to play, then gives a "please insert disc" error. Halp.

I deleted caches; took out all cc except for the nocd mod; but nothing is working. To my uninitiated brain, it looks like all cc has stopped working, but without that particular bit of cc, I can't play at all!

ETA: I play on OS X.

And there I was, about to admonish jezzer because I thought you were joking. You're genuinely ticking off Moryrie for excluding a teeny handful of objects which you can easily pick up yourself? Personally, I am glad there's no branded stuff in her packages, and no stupid football shirts with 11 000 recolours.

Stop whinging, you entitled kid.

Come on now guys, you're just proving the Cracked hacks right.

To be fair, Kissing Toast was only compounding on my original error.

I take it from this, you have no idea what an elipsis is? Because yeah, there aren't any in my post.

Yeah, double posting and adding to your already abundant collection of ellipsises really won't help your cause.

I hear Michele Bachmann's husband can help with this sort of thing.

It's hardly ridiculous. These are pay files after all. They don't want them distributed freely. Not that I am pro-EA, mind, it's just rather far-fetched and overblown to compare a software company to the Nazis. On the other hand, this *is* the internets, so I guess Godwin's Law applies.

Tepid.

If you don't use spellcheck, the alots come in the night and eat your face. It's true, it happened to surely once, that's why she had to grow a beard to cover the gnawed patch.

It's hardly trolling if its the accepted attitude of the place. It's funny, because the first hit you get if you type "mod sims 3" into google takes you to a site where you can find plenty of information on adding mods to your game.

So you admit to failing at google? Well done. If you knew the reaction you would get, why did you persist in asking this question?

I was just wondering, no wozzas if not, but does anyone have the mid-century fantasy set available on its own? I don't need the whole May Compilation set, just the mid-century set.

I have to say, it is rather cruel of those mean old Pirates to send you over here with no preparation. Perhaps you should go back to PMDB and this time, make sure they give you the magic password. That way all your questions can be answered. Until then, I'm sorry but we can't help you, however much we would like to.

The Las Vegas set looks like it was designed by a deranged toddler. Plus, it's uber pointless seeing as there's no way for sims to actually play cards or roulette or anything like that in game.

I wish EA would give us some more functional items instead of all these tonnes of useless deco.

What Furry subtext?

How difficult is it to type those three extra letters? Seriously, if you want people to help you, at least try to look as if you've spent more than a nanosecond on writing your responses.

Hey, it's called being fashionably late, don'tcha know? Now if you'll excuse me, there's a warehouse rave in Dalston I really must attend.

Yep, this is very true. I didn't provide specs though because I was referring to a five year old laptop and an outdated game. My point wasn't so much, "get what I've got!", more "it's not beyond the realm of possibility to play Sims on a laptop".

Also, Madame Mim, way to be patronising. Yeah, of course there's more to life than computers. Just because you own a laptop doesn't mean you're surgically attached to it. What about students? People who travel for work and need to do work on trains and planes? People who don't have a TV or any practical space for a desktop (eg people flat-sharing in small flats). There are myriad reasons why someone might prefer a laptop over a desktop.

And as for tablets, I have one of those too. It's great for short journeys where you want something to distract you whilst travelling. However, the iPad (yes, of course there are others, but it is the market leader) has its limitations, especially if you're going to be away from a computer for a long time. Also, it strikes me that once you factor in the need for a separate keyboard if you want to do more than just some light typing, you might as well be carrying a lightweight netbook.
