Cross-posted from my new simblr, but hey guys! This is me trying to get back into the simming community. It'd be great to hear from you all and I hope you're all well! ♥

This is strange and I don’t know how many of you will remember me, but it’s Imi/Imo here! I can’t believe it’s been 2 years since I last played the sims. A lot has happened to me irl during that time and I also uninstalled both ts2 and ts3 along time ago. In fact I even changed OS from windows xp to ubuntu, so even during those times when I wished I could play again, I didn’t really have that option.

I actually thought that there weren’t many people active in the sims community anymore, because the couple of times I’ve checked my lj friends page it’s seemed really quiet (although I really haven’t logged into lj at all in those two years).

I’ve found out the reason why though…everyones moved to tumblr! Just last week I found out that there is a huge simblr community here and since then I’ve been looking through everyone’s blogs and pictures. It’s made me feel so nostalgic and I’m so happy that everyone is still posting their games! Another thing, I’m so happy to see people are playing TS3 as well as TS2! I remember last time I posted, many people were disappointed in the game,  but since then it looks custom content has improved and more people are playing, which is great cause I love that game!

Basically, I’m jealous over all your pictures after discovering simblrs, so now I want to start playing again and I made this new simblr (omg I love that cute name for a simming blog)! This is my simming to-do list for the coming weeks:

• install windows xp/7 on a partition: this is the compromise if I’m going to install the sims again, because I’ve actually not missed windows at all since I moved to ubuntu. Oh well, I don’t have to use it other than for sims. I need to find a disc though (I think I know where one is)!
• install sims 2, eps, cc programs and fill downloads folder: should be easy enough, as my last TS2 backup is still on my external HD, so I should just be able to paste it in and play (famous last words).
• install sims 3?: this will be more difficult as I’m going to have read up on all that has changed/been updated since I’ve been away
• consider BUYING TS3 EPS!!: all the pictures posted here are making me so jealous! I only have WA and AMB right now, but the new EPs look amazing and I really want LN, GEN and Pets :>
• look at the box full of sim games and think about how much all of that has cost. Should you really be buying 3 new EPs and can you afford it? (answer: probably not).
• think about how your poor computer is 6 years old and even though it worked fine with TS3 last time you played, it might not be able to cope with 3 new EPs.
• order EPs anyway…? Well, I’ll probably play them in the future, even if my current computer can’t cope with it…look at me justifying my expensive simming obsession. Nothing has changed.

If someone could kindly either convince me to buy these EPs or convince me NOT too that would be great, because I can’t make decisions. :3 First things first though, installing windows and checking the game(s) still works.

tldr; You’re beautiful simming community and I’ll never leave you again. Also I have over 500 notifications on lj. It really has been that long! :o
