Well I finally had some spare money due to some overtime at work and I finally purchased Sims 3 and World Adventures.  Stll putting custom content in the game and testing it.  I have A LOT to learn about Sims 3.  To me, it is VERY different from Sims 2.  I will eventually get all the expansions, especially Island Paradise but can't do much until I replace my Hard Drive.  It only a small one, 120G, which limits me with very little room after Windows 7....LOL.  My wonderful son, had found me a 1TB Hard Drive for an awesome price.  Now I just have to wait for him to come and install it and re-install Windows 7.  He wants to put Windows 8 on it but I think not.  Hope everyone is having a wonderful winter.  We here in WV has had a lot of snow this year.
