The computer is toast! Even if we wiped the hard drive, all the pictures I was working on for my update, not to mention two and a half years of game files, are gone. I did, however, find the flashdrive with my packaged sims on it.
So... I just spent the past two days downloading like a madwoman, trying to get enough CC to continue with my story on the spare computer, and the disk drive won't even read the damn disk. Why I did it in that order is beyond me, but I'm sure there was some method to my madness at some point. All that work for nothing. Well, until I get a new computer or something, then I'm as good as gold. Digital download perhaps? The Sims 2 store might be down, but the main EA site still offers them. Seems kind of silly though when I don't know how long I'll even be using this computer.
I guess my sims really are stranded...
