i could say i felt like redesigning my simself. i could also be more truthful and say that, in trying to move my sims game over to an external drive, i erased my saves folder and couldn’t get it back. i’m going to be even more truthful and say that, despite the daunting reality of the task, i feel energized by the fact that i’m forced to start fresh and really think about the story i want to tell. i’m also grateful to myself that i didn’t buckle under the pressure and just give up. i’ve been doing so well at calmly troubleshooting when things go wrong, and really thinking about what i save to my computer. here she is! i love her even more, now.
