The Pain! 😫

I’ve done so much Simming the past 4 days that I’d love to show you a billion screenshots of, but unfortunately the super fast SSD drive I was using to run the game on and store screenshots, decided to start spitting errors at me instead of Sims, and I had to reformat it, losing all of 2024’s raw content! 😭

I then spent the next ~3 hours uninstalling & reinstalling the game, and another hour reinstalling mods and saves. Thankfully The Sims saves your actual Sims files to C:// drive! 🙀🤯 But what a pain in the ass! And as far as hard drive failures go, I’ve definitely lost way worse! Like years worth of data and original art! Some Sims screenshots are nothing to cry over. It’s just a game! 🥲 The loss of a 6 month old drive really sucks though. 😒 If anyone has any recommendations on GOOD SSD drives, I’m all ears because my new laptop’s native hard drive is tiiiiiiiny! Contact me on Twitter with recommendations, if you have any! 🤔

So, obviously one of the rules of the challenge is that households are forbidden from purchasing anything from the plumbing category and someone in the family has to raise their Handiness skill to level 9 to be able to build a bath tub in order to fulfill the hygiene need.
