So I\'ve been playing this family....started out with just one custom sim, Eden. She was about 1/8 bar from being a master thief. She was a master gardener, had full athletic skill, full handyman skill, full cooking skill, was at level 8 charisma, had collected almost every single gemstone & was doing well on the butterflies.....and her beautiful twin girls with Don Lothario had just aged to toddlers and had been taught all of their skills. She was a kleto who liked to play with fire. Loved her, absolutely loved her.
\r\nEarlier today I went to load the family and they were gone. I got the dreaded outline on the loading screen, there was nothing there. I went to my documents to try to get the backup to install, but somehow, that was gone as well. In a frantic effort to try to recover them, I did a system restore to yesterday, when I knew they were safe. What happens, you may wonder? It said \"system restore sucessful. It did not effect your documents.\" So they\'re truly gone and I can\'t recover them.
\r\nAfter a suitable mourning period I decided to leave Riverview for awhile and start off with a new sim. Her name is Aspen, and she\'s on the exchange. She wants to be a rock star, so that\'s new game play for me. I\'m just wondering how long I\'ll have her, and how long I\'ll work on her, before she goes \"poof\" and I have to start the whole process over again. I\'ve been extremely patient with all of the \"EA needs to fix this stuff, \" but now I\'m ticked! I want Eden back! Without starting over!!!!
\r\nAt this point Aspen is at level three on her guitar sklls and making friends with her fellow musicians. I think this time I\'m going to max her out on her job then go in and work on the other skills. Hopefully she\'ll make it through before the EP comes along and wipes everything out. <sigh> Not a good day in Riverview..here\'s hoping Sunset Valley will be better.
