#cheap computer

[someexistite]

I got a working computer from the thrift store for $6.25 USD (including tax)

specs for nerds:

Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 @ 2.66GHz

1 GB DDR2-800 SDRAM Non-ECC RAM

256 GB HDD

Windows 7 Professional (according to the sticker on the side, it originally has Windows XP Professional)

CD/DVD drive

Intel DG33FB motherboard (I found a manual for it on the CIA website)

things that don't work:

CD/DVD drive (wasn't plugged in, the sata cable going to it was plugged into another sata port on the motherboard) (when trying to open the tray, makes two clunks then gives up)

Audio (doesn't detect any speakers)

Network (no WiFi antenna, my USB TP-Link refuses to work, I haven't any ethernet cables)

CMOS battery (thinks it's currently 2006)

I love this computer! It's set up as a gaming PC but I bought it for video editing. For the price it's amazing! I definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a very strong computer at a very good price!

My 10-year-old computer died, my new one finally arrived, and you'd best believe the first thing I did is install TS2. I still need to get my old files off my old hard drive but I'm finally biting the bullet and installing the Ultimate Collection rather than trying to reinstall from disks on Windows 11 and ... I wanted to weep lmao. Everything loads so FAST it almost scares me. I thought I was used to the game loading fast when I took out all my CC, but that's NOTHING compared to this. Fully optimised TS2 on a modern computer is frightening

It's also a good opportunity to start my DL folder from scratch with a better organisational system and being stricter about what I know I will/won't use. Challenging myself to CC-free builds has pushed me even further into a MM-game and now I'm embracing it. Like, I'm flirting with the idea of not having reflective pond water? Just changing the colour, but keeping the slab-o-blue vibe? Who am I? Beach lots would look ugly as hell but maybe I can make it work.

Anyway, a very exciting new development in my Sims career :)

Crafting update: I had the day off work, so I ran some errands and overdid it enough that my heart rate was acting up, so I decided it was a "sit and crochet" kind of day, except I overdid that too so now I have an almost-finished crocheted cauldron and a blister attempting to form on my finger, so no more crochet for me for a few days lol
