The panda has arrived!

Hello everyone! I'm Bamboo

Not actually sure if you have to start a new topic in here for it to count in the contest or not, so I'm just gonna do it even though I've already written something in here somewhere already lol.
I never know what to say in these things h34r: Hm... Well... I'm a panda! In case you didn't notice.. And eh.. I like to play sims (how unusual for a sims forum!), I'm way too sarcastic for my own good and I spend a lot of time on the TS3 site. Not as much lately, but still, pretty addicted! I like to build and make sims although not exactly the best builder out there lol. I'm too impatient to play with a family for very long (which is probably mostly due to my computer lagging and glitching like crazy lol), although I did start a legacy this winter. Haven't made it farther than generation 2 though, but hey, that's a big miprovement from not even playing long enough to get a sim from infant to kid LOL :lol:
Been playing since TS1, but only discovered the forums about six months ago. So gonna be interesting to be on this site right from the beginning

And if you somehow made it through these rambled lines to read this: Nice to meet you!

Hi, welcome ^^ Great to see many people joining! I'm new myself ^^ I've been eyeing this site since it was created LOL just decided to sign up the other day Nice to meet you!

Nice to meet you too dp (sorry, but writing your entire name requires too much concentration right now LOL )
The site's been here long? Lol I didn't even think I was interested in TS4 until they announced it, I just wanted TS3 to go on for a little while longer. I hope TS4 will be a lot less glitchy! Although it's probably also my computer's fault - it's not really wired to play sims lol.

Thank you Chris LOL I know, names like that always confuse me (which is why I instantly shorten it to save my poor brain some trouble! )

Welcome to the forums, I think we both have in common our inability to stay with one family, I haven't been able to start a legacy yet.

Awwww, Panda! I love your avatar!

Maybe you could try putting TS3 lifespan setting on the shortest possible and see if you can make it any further! LOL

Good idea, probably why I can't get far I usually have it on epic..

Thanks coffeeteame ^^ If I remember correctly it was Brighty from TS3 who picked it for me, but I'm so attached to my original avi over there I just couldn't change it, so this was the perfect opportunity lol That's actually a great idea, I've never tried having it on the shortest!

And hello plumdrop LOL I used to have it on epic too, although now it's just on normal. My legacy's the first time I've ever played an old sim and let me tell you - not a fan :wacko: I don't like how they suddenly turn into Quasimodo lol!

Welcome BambooEaterrr! Yeah, all ancient japanese people in the end xD I'm trying to keep with my legacy now too, haven't had the time to play lately though =(

Anyways, hope you have fun around here!

I've actually never played an elder, I'll get there someday..

Never!?

Yup, I usually never get past Young Adult, because I have it on Epic, I should probably change that up a bit.

Many thanks I offer you for the greeting! (sorry, you got japanese people stuck in my head and somehow this is what came of that h34r My desktop is causing more and more trouble when I try playing, so haven't played my legacy on over a month now.. I think I may be overloading it on EP's, store content and saves lol

Why thank you and likewise

Yeah, you're not missing much lol.. Now I can say I've tried it, but I think I'd rather not play with them.. They don't add much to the game I think..

Yeah, the time would pass fast enough before you thought of killing them all --,

Haha, exactly

LOL you could've wrote in japanese if you know how, I'd understand the same xD

Same advice I give to everyone, shut every program not necessary down, lower your settings in the game, and then restart it... Should help a bit...

My Pc just runs necessary things for Windows... I even shut down the antivirus, one of the most consuming program...

Now I'm confused LOL - you speak japanese? Or is my english getting in the way again? XD

Yeah I have to play with everything else turned off to play now -.- But just don't think I could play without the highest settings lol, I'm such a perfectionist -.- But may be necessary though if this continues.. Maybe I should try shutting down the antivirus, I hadn't thought of that.. It's always just running in the background. Although knowing me, I'd probably forget to turn it on again

For me everything is set to low, but my antivirus is always on I don't ever turn it off, and I don't think I will.

LOL, I speak a bit of japanese, your english is just fine xD

If you are using avast, you have the option of having it turning on by itself in a couple of hours...
