All my Rhodes!

So, as you don't know, I've gotten into Sims 2 again, and started the Rhodes Legacy back in February. Since then, I've played a bit every weekend, or whenever I had the urge to.
Right now the Gen. 5 kids are babies, and soon I'll be halfway through.
I've also played the spares a bit, just marrying them to guys and aging the kids up to teen. In the Hawke-Rhodes house, there are four kids, and when one brought another Rhode-kid home, I decided to summon all of them and take a group shot.
Here's the outcome:

All 31 of them, missing the dead ones.
If you want to see any closeups, tell me, I've got them sitting right here :)

HAI GUISE!

I have a rant to tell!
Ok, prepare for a post full of hatred, anger and the want to smash everything around me:

Guess what I had to do yesterday? Come on, you know it.
I give you a hint.
I could play it for one month. ONE FUCKING MONTH.
Without having to reinstall everything and waste 3 hours on it.
Right, you have it. The Sims 2.
I hate that game. With all the passion of my flaming heart. But yet, I cannot even THINK OF quitting to play it.
So what do I do? Reinstall, of course, wasting 3 PRECIOUS hours of my NERD-LIFE!
And then..THE BIG MOMENT.. I am slowly touching the mouse, move the cursor towards the little 'The Sims 2 Apartment Life'-icon, double-click it and wait..

NOTHING HAPPENS.
I fired up the Task-Manager and clicked the fucking icon again. I watched the process pop up, saw that the CPU heightened, sank and then the process vanished.

Great. Now, what does the semi-computer-savvy-Su do? Delete her Sims folder and let the game create a new one.
Yep, you're right, game. Suddenly it opened like it always did.

I am kind of suspecting Numenor's Scriptorium to bash my game, so I am testing whether it is installed right now or it's not and thus kills my game next.

Damn that shit. DAMN IIITTTT.



Okay, rant over, off to something new:
I found a band which sounds genius. Phantom Planet. God, I guess I am the last person on earth to discover Phantom Planet, because the name sounds so 'tabloids-everyone-knows-and-listens-to-them'.
BUUUT.
They are nice.
