It took a while but I'm back

hobbesedI can't believe it's been nearly two years since I had that problem on my Win7 box. I'd bought the new Win10 desktop computer to replace it and that's worked well. I made a full system backup of my Win7 system after I got it back to ensure I'd lose nothing. But honestly, I was burnt out a bit on Sims2 and hadn't even loaded it on the new box. Until a couple of weeks ago...
It's now Win11 (after a free upgrade) and I've been playing other things. I got back into Diablo 2 Resurrected and then last year Diablo Immortal came out and I hopped on that. Of course, life ebbs and flows and now Diablo Immortal is wearing thin.
Then I had an inspiration. Don't know from whence it came and I decided to try getting my Sims2 Ultimate Collection going on the Win11 box. It took a little effort but nothing really surprising and TS2 UC works. And wow does it! What used to take 40+ minutes with all my 20+GB of CC to load to where I could play on Win7 only takes about 5 minutes to get to the same point on my Win11 box!
The inspiration was for a new story. And now with the superfast Win11 TS2 UC, I'm working on one. And having a lot of fun creating the sets, converting some new clothing to the necessary bodyshapes used in the story, and of course writing it. When I finish it, I'll post it somewhere and at the very least mention here where it can be found.
All this means that I'll more than likely start posting things again here soon. Hopefully...
