Agnes is angry, and so am I!

 

It has been a rather slow spring for me sims-wise, some small projects here and there and updates for my story is not much to brag about. I was hoping to do some more recolors, and maybe learn new things (👀 but Blender...), I miss building and generally I had plans, as soon as these busy months were over.

Then something happened in my game after the May patch. Without warning I had the auto-aging bug, and at first I couldn't believe it, because it was supposed to be fixed last year. And since I couldn't see anyone else reporting it, I realized that it might be only in my game. Hence, probably CC related.

All my saves are now corrupted. đŸ˜ĢI don't mind so much for some of them, but for my Early Civilization game save it's catastrophic, and even with all my backups I was not able to restore a working save. Or, more likely, even if I install a backup save, the problem will continue to reoccur, since it's caused by a mod or CC still in my mod folder.

So, I will now have to do the 50/50 method to find what is causing this, and when that is taken care of I still don't know if it will be reversed, so I might have to manually edit my 160 sims in the save with MCCC. It will be a lot of work. 

I still have a lot going on in my personal life (happy things, but they keep me busy), and I don't have much time for simming. Also I must admit this bug/problem is leaving me totally demotivated to open the game, and I've started to question if I can live my life perfectly well without The Sims.

Maybe I will find the time and motivation again, but it will not be this week, and probably not the next or the one after that. I'm feeling just like Agnes, you see, angry with EA and their updates not working, bad patches, bad cc, bugs and the whole flicking thing that steals my energy and sucks all the fun out of it.

No matter what you do, or where you are, I'm wishing you a wonderful summer - with or without The Sims!
