I only downloaded and installed this program earlier today, but it appears to work pretty well.  It is a free download and here is the link:  http://www.almico.com/sfdownload.php

My laptop (according to this program) appears to have 3 fans.  If you are thinking about replacing anything in your laptop (you said it is a Dell 1535) you can go to their website, put in the Service Tag and they will show you the configuration as originally shipped.  You can then see suggested upgrades to the original configuration (including video cards, if applicable).  Even if you don't buy it from them, at least it will give you a starting point from which to do some research.

Every place in the world has their own interpretation about this, so I figured that the Sims may as well.

If I have my legacy family spawning off and then marrying into other families I have created, how does it impact the 2nd, 3rd and 4th generations when I still want to keep things in the Founding Families?

I searched under 'incest' , yet found nothing, so I hope that this is ok to post!

I have a belkin for my Dell Inspiron 1525 (which means i can't see who is fat, preggers or muscular! rrGHHH!) I go one step further and prop up the laptop so there are 2 levels of space involved. And I have a room fan nearby that is usually on.

It is still very hot - I assuming the graphics card is in the vicinity of the touch pad, as that is where things get the hottest. As I am computer from a laying on my side position for 99% of the lat few months, even if i had a desktop, it wouldn't be an option for me.

I have also thought of cold packs (the kind one puts in the freezer, to use in picnic coolers, body parts, etc) put underneath the offending area, but manage to keep things on a tight rope.

My laptop started to get very hot a few after i got it last summer - and I wasn't using a high demand on my laptop. It did start getting worse playing Sims Life Stories,

Love to hear what people have done to try to rectify the situation!

I think I'll go with your advice (and stop doing it! :S)- and of course the Amazing Pescado!

Can one change the parameters mid game, or do i need to turn the sims off and clear the cache first? (those darn pixelations!)

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

The durn puters and their need fer exactness! I inadvertedly inserted a space!

So it is working now?

thanks Vilkitty and Georgette ..

'nother dense one - where do i type that?
I typed show config in start (Vista - blch!) and in the cheat window and nuthin

thanks so much for answering so quickly! I am trying to get it fixed up so my daughter can play the Stickers family without affecting our Stamps family

1st - i looked. I couldn't seem to find another who has asked as assinine a question as mine, And, I'm already having a bad day, as many hours of simming din't save;so please be gentle ..


<coughs nervously cos she has seen the wolves attack and go up in flames here!>
