After the Calling

So… I now have Apartment Life… in a box… sitting in front of me… staring at me… taunting me.

Sitting next to it are Bon Voyage and Freetime… also staring at me… taunting me.

I tried once before to install voyage and freetime in preparation for apartment, and my computer fell over, farted in my face, and died.  After The Calling’s only saving grace was that I backed up my Seasons files… which is something I NEVER do. Never. Not once. It was a complete fluke on the behalf of some misfired neuron in my brain that I took the time to do it…. because I don’t do it… ever.

Anyhoo, my boyfriend managed to revive my comp while I globe trotted, allowing me no time to think about the horror that was installing expansions. (No really, I’ve been surfing for horror stories, and the glitches I hear about are maddening)

But I have returned…and holy hell if I don’t want to install all three at this very moment in time.

So… this is just a little warning. My computer may just die… but for real this time. It’s on it’s fourth year, and it’s getting senile. I KNOW I should just get another one, but I’m still recovering from the death of my last computer, which WAS a new one.

Basically, I have up to the first part of the next chapter written and shot.  They just need to be edited.  So what is at risk here? The entire rest of the story. Especially chapter 3, which is *slight spoiler* chock full of Rowanne and Hadrian… and is becoming my most favorite chapter ever. At least on paper.

So I’m gonna take this one expansion at a time. My game is not hack heavy, because this damn comp tolerates nothing, so on that end I think I’m okay.  I’m backing up everything. Crossing my fingers. Let’s see what happens.
