The Adventures, Mishaps and Musings of Me

My laptop lives!  Thankfully, I didn't lose absoloutly everything due to "Knoppix" a Linux based operating system that you can run off a CD, thus allowing me to go and rescue all the "important" stuff that I would have gone into a week long mope if they'd been lost before the enevitable hard drive wipe.

In other silly and strange observations, my Dad named the sat nav system "Jane".  My Mum is now incredibly jealous.  I am incredibly amused. 

OK, so one of the major drawbacks with Vista is it's limited compatibility with older games.  And when I say "old games", I mean any game that was brought out before Vista arrived on the scene - You will very likely need to tinker a bit to get them working.  After I made it through the struggle to get the aforementioned games working I thought I'd repost my findings - after all, the internet is there for the diffusion of knowledge!

I've created a tutorial that explains in full the (rather long) proccess required to create an accessory mesh for the Sims2.  It is directed at complete beginners and contains more screen shots then you can shake a stick at.  Step by step it shows you how to create a pair of (3D) gold stud earings for adult females.
