Sims3 R Busted =,(


Dear Blog,

So I got the Sims3 World Adventures for Christmas, and have been playing it quite a bit since. It has A LOT of content, so even though I'm pushing 48 hours of play time, I am still no where near finished seeing/doing everything, which is amazing!

There do seem to be some bugs however... My son was having a birthday party, and when he blew out the candles, everyone disappeared... They all were like stuck somewhere where I couldn't' see them and they all started dieing because I couldn't get them to eat/sleep/etc. I looked up online and saw that this had happened to a couple of other people, so I used the recommended "resetsim" cheat. That solved the issue at the time, but since them my game has been epically buggy! My main sim just went to the hospital to have a baby, and ended up doing it 7 times, so yeah, I now have 7 identical twin girls, and more than the allotted amount of sims in a family. I DON'T WANT THAT MANY BABIES! She just kept having them, but the thing is she kept resetting in between so I know she wasn't meant to have that many babies, lol. Now I have been trying to move some people out so I can split up the family, but it doesn't work, and just crashes the game... My main character had like a level 2 visa everywhere and some pretty sweet loot from all the places, and now I am going to have to start ALL OVER!!!!! Cuz yeah, I can't make this game run =( I'm very sad, and sleepy because I have been trying to figure this out all night.

So basically... avoid birthday cakes in Sims 3 World Adventure.... at least until they patch it or something! Also, you cannot take a picture of the Theatre... and having a 250,000 simolean photography collection is almost impossible... so don't pick that as your lifetime want... That is all =)

WoW Cataclysm?... Meh...

Dear Blog,

Has anyone else noticed that it seems like WoW is possibly lacking a small portion of their millions of players?? I got an e-mail from them the other day about an account I had not been playing in a few months (maybe 6?) and they were offering me 7 days of free playing time. I thought at first it might have been a scam, I have gotten a few of those in my e-mail over the years, "just enter your account information here on this page that LOOKS like the WoW log in page and in just a few hours your account will be for sale on e-bay" type things, but it turns out this one was legit. I am also seeing all those mohawk grenade commercials on like every channel, I mean, I enjoy it, yaaay Mr.T and all, but is it possible that WoW is throwing out mad marketing ploys to try and re-recruit their lost players? It did seem like there were less people standing about when I logged on like a sucker to do the new Pilgrim's Bounty achievements... I just really wanted that turkey pet... lol.

I really do think I am finished with WoW though... Even when I was working to get my turkey pet I was irritated at how repetitive and time consuming it was. It seems that although WoW got another month out of me so I could check out pilgrim's bounty (and I won't lie... I wanted a mohawk grenade...) I was so disappointed and fed up with spending hours getting yet another useless title and pet that I am pretty sure there'll be no going back for me now. Even the idea of Cataclysm doesn't appeal to me anymore! I mean, I always have fun when I play with just my boyfriend or my best friend, but neither of them play much anymore either... Oh well, we will see I guess! For now I am happy with my Modern Warfare 2, Dragon Age, Sims, and Peggle! hehe

Return to Ostagar - Dragon Age Origins


Dear Blog,

I haven't played Dragon Age in a couple weeks now, even though I'd been planning on finishing the game a second time, or even more! I've been all caught up playing Modern Warfare 2, hardcore team death matches, but my XBL time expires on the 18th of December, so I will be returning to Dragon Age shortly! I am very excited about the expansion, which is scheduled to be released later this month for just 400 MSP (aprox $5). This will give you the chance to return to Ostagar (which is where you fight the big battle at the beginning of the game and King Cailan dies). I can't imagine it will be a very long expansion, but I am greatly looking forward to it nonetheless! I'll post a little review the day it comes out, because I am sure I will play through it only a few hours after it is released! I cannot wait to spend more time with my dear Alistair! <3 hehehe
