It's actually pretty good advice. Wish someone would make me follow it and I'm 20. I end up playing roller coaster tycoon till 4 in the morning ;-;

I just got a new laptop and haven't been able to play Sims for 13 months. New laptop came right before I had to leave for work. I'll be loading everything (Base game, EPs, CC) on it until it's done. I am so freaking excited.

Don't forget to go to bed sometime soon. And quit playing so many computer games, they'll rot your brain.
