THANKS THIS IS GREAT

Here's a simple, silly challenge for you: Taking the unmodified game, any edition, any official patch, and a clean neighborhood (custom or stock Maxis from fresh install) and performing only Maxis-supported behaviors (no debug cheats, any non-hacked custom Bodyshop content permitted), do anything you can to reduce your neighborhood to a Big Fiery Ball Visible From Space in as little playing time as possible.

That's not a challenge, that sounds more like your version of psychology.   Tongue

I take it that you have tested this out yourself, JM.  So what record time should we be aiming at beating? I tried this before after I got that fantastic work of EA art - Uni - and it took less than 2 weeks for blank icons to show up, career info to disappear and nannies, delivery npcs and busdrivers to block portals.  The game became unplayable pretty quickly - and that was without moving Bella to Pleasantview and loading up peopled lots.

This is less a 'challenge' and more the 'constant irritation that I went through before I found that there were people fixing this damned game for free even though the company I paid for it didn't seem to have the time.' Well, free if you discount the occasional subscription fee...

Unplayed neighbourhood, even with Awesome fixes, I was merely building a lot and now it keeps crashing out on me - no CC with the building. Heh. Off to see if it's still crappload Tongue So that's probably about an hour of building. Do I get a prize?

Every one needs an outlet.

Bad day anyone? Smashination is cathartic.

Well, maybe for many of us who are already on the road to the BFBVFS, this will make us feel like we've actually been working toward a goal...
