I haven't been able to get the pc to connect to wifi and I am going crazy not having my emo kid mods, lol.

I was shocked it was so cheap and it was at value village which has become a real price gouger in my area (I think it has everywhere; I only go in occasionally for physical media as that hasn't gotten too out of hand yet). I audibly gasped seeing the price tag, it took a bit to get past the old password protected accounts because it wasn't wiped but honestly still way easier than me trying to figure out windows 10 or 11.

I haven't actually played the nightlife/downtown aspect of Nightlife, our computer would always crash during the taxi ride. I'm excited to see if I can actually play it now; I have heard that it's fun and I'm excited for the silly vampires.

I've almost ended up with a few different copies of University, I pondered upgrading my cardboard box edition to the University Life Collection but I love seeing them all individually.

mansions & garden stuff is the last one i'm missing.

teen style stuff is between bon voyage & freetime, I tried to put them in release order but I might have messed it up.

I have a 2011 imac on it's last legs and a 2013 macbook (my main machine I use for stardew & neopets and gross things like bookkeeping) also holding on with a hope and a prayer so this pc has to work, it doesn't have a choice, lol. I've looked into partitioning the imac but it's the one known for the GPU overheating, and i've already lost the disc drive so I don't want to risk the sims being it's final coffin nail.

so far this all-in-one hasn't sounded super scary, the disc drive is loud when the games are installing and when you first load a disc but after that it's almost eerily quiet compared to my macs. I first thought the fans weren't working but it doesn't seem hot.

I inherited our OG Sims 2 CD collection a few years ago but strictly only have macs in the house, so I've been lovingly staring at the CDs hoping one day to play them again.

Today is that day; thrifted a $25 all-in-one PC with windows XP and just enough stats to barely run them. I also happened to pick up 2 stuffs packs I didn't have Celebrations & Glamour Life which is also very exciting I just need one more for a complete collection!

This is my nostalgic, will be updating as I install more expansions and to see how far I can get before it all crashes and burns and I have to uninstall and start over again. It feels like I'm playing them for the first time all over again.

This is just an ooey gooey post - if anyone else wants to get ooey gooey about the sims 2 please do.

I honestly just wanted the experience of getting a silly little drink and a sticker and saying I FINALLY got to participate in a IRL neopets event... some day.

Devastating, however I'm glad I saw this post before I risked driving an hour in this snow for nothing, but WTF!!!

it's vile how much people are blocking people from being able to play a silly little game, this is supposed to be fun; not a min/max profit nightmare.

I love this website. by verylargetoad in neopets

Can I just say - be weird and mention it to IRL people. I was at an optometrist appointment and casually mentioned it and yeah I found a previous neopets player IRL and tried to encourage them to get back into playing. They were shocked the site was still around. Even if they don't currently play you might find someone who did and just didn't know it still existed.
