my simming aunt’s computer crashed a week or two ago, and she ended up buying a new “gamer god” computer, lol. (i want one too! :-S )
anyway, yesterday i spent a few hours at her place re-installing TS2. the new comp has Win8 so i was a little worried, but i installed everything in The Right Order (actually ignoring patches though, since i figured it had worked on her old computer without them) and it ended up working as long as you bypass the launcher. *phew*
i had totally forgotten that the original TS2 had 4 installation discs hahah. good thing i had brought over our games since we had the 1-disc DVD version (bought as a backup at some point).
i reeeally want to play BV though ;__; i need to get a windows comp so i can install the origin ultimate collection! i’ve lost access to the comp i currently play on again since its owner brought it with them on a trip *sigh*. my current hope is that i’ll be able to sell my stocks and afford a PC, but it’s likely that i’ll be able to get TS4 for the stationary mac before that, at least...
oh yeah, even if i do want to play TS4, i can guarantee you i won’t “switch over” to that or something. i’ve watched lots of let’s-plays already and it’s obvious that TS2 is much better suited for my needs, but i just really like the environment and graphics in TS4 so i’d like to play it too :-9
