An Expansion Pack and a Stuff Pack

Bought "Seasons" 2 days ago ... can't help it.

Got the Holiday Stuff pack too ... it bums me that a lot of the halloween and christmas downloads available from the exchange are included in the pack ... what's the point of registering your game to avail of the online perk of free downloads from the exchange when the EA guys will make those objects available in a future CD? Not much of a perk, is it?

I've installed Seasons in my PC just now but haven't run it yet (chose to register the game online first). If the game won't work, then I'm buying a new processor tomorrow. That means a new motherboard and maybe a new video card.

I have installed the base game and the Seasons EP in an office PC ... so I have already seen how the game works. Got me excited to play it at home. My home PC's specs is higher than my office PC's ... but I've got all EPs installed, so I don't know if Sims2 will still run with Seasons added.

Never thought I'd be one of those saying this but ... it's not Vista that drove me to upgrade my PC ... it's the Sims 2 EPs!

My Old PC

"Seasons" is out, and I still haven't upgraded my PC. My computer is already slow running Pets ... there were times I've actually fallen asleep waiting for the game to load or save a large or fully populated lot.

Thing is, Core 2 Duo is fairly new, and history tells me to expect that better and faster processors than what's available now will be released soon ... so I'm holding off on buying that new processor and motherboard.

Ahh.... Patience is a virtue... I wish had more of. Upside is: by the time I've upgraded and bought Seasons, the expected patch is available. He he he!

... wonder when a "Seasons" web page theme/style will be available ...
