Too many fps can burn out your graphics card, so be careful.

Yup, I know, but thanks for the warning! I've been monitoring it and seeing how it is handling different games, because I worry a lot about stuff like that. It's been staying pretty cool, which makes me happy. It's been around 30-40° C when not under load, and it peaked at about 67° when I was playing Bioshock Infinite, which is about the most demanding game I have, and TS3 was much cooler. Anything hotter than that starts to worry me, anyway. :S 

It's not just one game, either, it's like all of them. I had to save every minute or two in Bioshock 2 because the game crashed constantly, in fear of loosing progress. I barely made it through that game with my sanity intact. I tried every fix under the sun but nothing worked. The Sims 3 crashes from time to time, too. I'm pretty positive that it's not the games, or my hardware. I think its just Windows 8. 

Layla died, too. ;_;

To quote Vayleen: "But Carolyn Layla did die in a room with, you know, room. Unlike some people." 

I think Layla was 93, as well. She didn't make it very long after Judas. She died halfway through making hot dogs, and in her nightie, naturally. I swear she had a hidden Inappropriate trait. 

(To refresh, Layla Lufti was an Al Simhara townie.)

Are you running in Win7 compatibility mode? (I don’t have Win8, so really have no clue)

Yeah, most of my games are set to run in compatibility mode. It doesn't seem to help very much, sadly.

I wish I could help. Both me and my husband have been using Win8 for quite a while now for gaming and haven’t had crashing issues. The one game that kept crashing for him was because of his processor.

Hm, interesting. My processor is just the basic one that came with my computer, an AMD A10-5700. It's a quad-core, that's really all I know about it. It had integrated graphics, but I now have my dedicated card, and that hasn't helped with crashing like I kind of thought it would. 

On the other hand, my friend has the exact same computer as me, with the exact same upgrades that I did to it (Power supply and graphics card), and he says he has zero crashing problems. 

Sunrise on a rainy day in Hidden Springs!

I made a new sim for once! :D

I named him Calvin. He's an Proper Dog Person who Loves the Outdoors, and is always Eco-Friendly, but can also be a little Absent-Minded.

That hair from the store amuses me greatly.
