Crash and Burn - And a Little Air Guitar

S35-013
I probably should be thankful that I was able to complete the shots I took for the next update of Sessions since I cannot keep the game up to save my life. I could not load the lot we wanted to use. Game kept crashing. Beth finally suggested an alternative that worked and I got the shots I needed.

The last time I tried to redo the neighborhood (this was awhile back, maybe a couple of months when we were settling Jimmy in) Melinda's lot was crashing constantly. I couldn't even get it to load. Since I hadn't packaged the lot after I had extensively remodeled it, I figured it was time for a new house. I wrote it into her story. Sort of. Today I attempted to move Thalia and Mel into it. Because I have an update written and I wanted to shoot it.

*sigh*

While I was able to get in, the upstairs bathroom needed a toilet moved (no problem there, I just turned it) but Thalia's bathroom seems to be unusable. I tried moving fixtures around. And then...it crashed.

*deeper sigh*

I don't know if I have the energy to even try and figure out why it crashes.

In other news, Gemma got knocked up. Yeah. Forgot to take the risky woohoo out of the DLs. I thought she was using protection. Let me tease you with the child's paternity why don't I? She had several visitors last night as well as contact with several other males. The list is long and distinguished. She only did the deed with one of them however. I toyed with terminating it but I couldn't. I'll let her have it. Might be an interesting child down the road since I do not plan on writing it into the story.

The list of victims potential fathers.

  1. Thought I should mention (in case you are scratching your head at the middle guy) that Ezra is the guy that Gemma met in the pub as well as the "cowboy" whose property Randi trespassed upon in Intermezzo.

  2. Sorry to hear about your game :( Maybe a reinstall is on the horizon? (so says the girl who stubbornly refuses to do a reinstall herself, even though she can't remember the last time she saw icons on her sims' memories)

    Gemma's knocked up? O_o I hope it's not Jimmy's--that would kill poor Raine. I also hope for Cadence's sake that it's not Wyatt's, but I admit that it would make for some interesting storylines. At this point in time, my money is on Cooper.

  3. Gayl, I would write it in the story, but, that's me, always wanting to stir the pot, and I probably shouldn't have looked at this, spoiler city!! Gemma slept with someone? It sucks to be behind...
    And sorry to hear about your game~

  4. Thanks Van. I concluded it isn't the lot but some piece of CC I downloaded. That narrows it down to the last several hundred files I've installed.

    Yeah Gemma's preggers. Not planned, totally random. That will teach me to just play.

  5. Hey Drew! Sorry for any spoilers. Gemma isn't a main character so writing a story line for her is pretty low on my list. I will keep the kid since I think he/she will be fascinating. Maybe he/she will show up as a townie/extra/love interest for someone.

    As for the game...figures I would have an update I wanted to shoot. Oh well.

  6. HA! This is like an episode of Maury Povick "You are not the father. You are the father. You are not the father." She and Slim would make and interesting looking kid, as would Jimmy, but some reason my money is on Wyatt.

    Sorry to hear about your game. I hate lot crashes because there never seems to be real reason for it; no piece of CC that you know is the problem. I can't get a single community lot to load and it drive me crazy. Hope things get better for you.

  7. Muzegoddess I had just got done saying how much better it was running now that I installed M&G. I'm sure it is an errant piece of CC.

    There were actually a couple of other candidates I could have thrown in there...but last night there was only one with the silver bullet. Once the kid is born I'll post shots of him/her. For now I think I will keep everyone speculating!

    I'm so evil. *muhahah*

  8. I'm guessing Ezra - he's a bit of a curveball.

    Typical Gemma, eh, a string of men at her door...

  9. Ha! Rad he is sort of a curve ball isn't he? I think that was why I felt compelled to explain who he was. Most people would be asking "Ezra who?"

  10. Oh this is great!!

    Slim: not unless he wants B to remove and bronze his balls.

    Jimmy: still doesn't move more than 2 feet away from Rayne: too new and too compelling so I'd guess not.

    Wyatt: hmmmm...probably not

    Ezra: is she crazy? random guy in bar?

    Cooper: kaching. She'd be set for life, and he didn't seem in any mood to slow down.

    I'd bet on Cooper.

  11. LMAO! I love your logic. Especially because it is true. Although I can neither confirm nor deny the child is Cooper's. If I EVER get back into the game and she has it, then I'll spill it.

Thanks for leaving me your thoughts ~ they always mean a lot.

In Perfect Harmony

In June of 2007 I posted my first chapter of Dark December. Since that time, the story has evolved and changed in part through a collaboration that developed and lasted over 4 years. During this time a friendship was forged. Thank you Beth, for unwavering friendship, support, and generosity over these last 4+ years. It has been a journey I will never forget.
