Resolved Question: My Sims 3 World Adventures is so slow! Please help!?
Okay, Sims 3 has always ran great and quick on my computer. I've added some expansion packs here and there, and still it works smoothly. Then I added World Adventures. Everything was going fine until the third or fourth day. Everything became slow. Like if I was going to a tomb and I pressed the fastest speed to make her travel go faster, it would pause for 2 minutes, go for a second, pause, go, pause...and on and on. So I waited for another couple of minutes to cease freezing and used normal speed. Same thing. So I paused it and moved the screen around. Fine. But it always happens when I press play. It sucks. I heard there was a patch, but I think that was a rumor because when I tried to look for it, I couldn't find it. So now I am pulling my hair out trying to make it run smoothly. Everything meets system requirement. I heard it was slow...but anyways. When I tried to look for an explanation, I found that there were some files that came along with the game when you download it that makes it slow. This might sound dumb, but what the heck is CC and WA? I heard resource.cgf file was bad and that I should receive rid of it. Also a.package files??? I am not really that great at computers. Enough to figure out simple problems, but this is so stressful. Please help and break this down for me. every advice is welcomed, thanks!

Open Question: Is Thailand a good vacation destination?
I'm thinking about backpacking in Thailand for around 40 days this summer. When I think Thailand I think of islands with beautiful beaches and crystal clear waters to SCUBA dive in, country roads to to explore on motorbike, awesome food, bustling markets full of inexpensive handcrafted goodies, etc. My friends think of underage Bangkok prostitutes and drugs. I think my friends are idiots; however, I really don't want to be associated with crap like that. Part of the joy of travel is the wealth of stories one has to share. I really don't want my next date to think I'm some nice of pervert when I tell her about my adventures in Southeast Asia. It's such a shame that such a beautiful and amazing place is overshadowed by the morally questionable antics of certain tourists. How do you feel about Thailand? And if not Thailand, is there another place you'd recommend that would provide the beauty, adventure and uniqueness without the ignorant stigmata? And before you every zero in on my typo, yes, I know it's stigma, not stigmata.

Resolved Question: I'm going to Africa this summer, and I'm a bit scared...?
Going to Africa has been my dream for a long time. I adore the cultures, the customs, the wildlife, basically just everything. But of course, I know, there are many stereotypes linked to Africa, and they have been worrying me. Whenever I tell a pal or family member that I'm going to Africa I rarely every hear "Oh, that's great!" I usually hear something more along the lines of: -AIDS. -You might receive a disease -Don't drink the water -Don't receive eaten by a lion -Omg, don't receive killed -Omg, don't receive abducted -I heard this story about a volunteer who went out there and was raped and killed. I have been looking forward to this trip for a long time, and I'm so grateful I have the opportunity to do it. But every of these comments receive me worried. I am travelling with a teen volunteer group with a good reputation for being safe. (Global Leadership Adventures) I guess I just need someone to tell me that it'll every be okay. I don't want anything to bring me down on this trip. But I guess I'm only human and I just receive scared. This is my first trip going anywhere alone, so it's pretty exciting (and nerve-wracking) I guess I didn't make this very clear, I REALLY want to go. I want this more than anything in my life. I've been waiting a long time for this and I just don't want my excitement ruined by stereotypes and judgments from people who have never been there. Jonal, your answer made me feel A LOT better already. :) And to answer, I'm going to Tanzania.

Voting Question: What do you think of my story title? I'm still not sure about it and I'm having a real hard time deciding.?
The story has a series name, much like how Terry Pratchett has "Discworld" and every his stories that take place in that world are relatable by that name. (Like, mine is called "Chronicles of [insert name]" or "Legend of [insert name]") Anyway, I have a name for the series, however I do not have a name for this particular story. It keeps changing, originally centering around adore and thus being called "Fallen for a Fallen Angel" (I was 13) but that turned out pretty crappy because although I wanted Romance to play a big feature in it, I want fantasy and adventure to take over. So i scrapped it. I then called it "Paradox" for a while because the story involved time travel and the negation of Paradox creation (Predetermined Paradox Theory X String Theory ) As well as that there is a character called "Paradox", however within the same book series I am writing, i also have "Origins: Paradox" - so i scrapped that idea. Now, I have a new idea - "The Solstice & The Equinox" The story has two main characters, brother's (twins) brought up on two different worlds. There are other main characters too, however I've highlighted upon these two because they are effectively connected yet brought up worlds apart. (Their middles names are also "Solstice" and "Equinox") The first part of the story (Well, from how many pages I go so far , the first 'book') it centers quite predominately on the two of them through the eyes of several different people. One of the boys is a normal teenage boy who suffers from a bad case of unrequited adore, exams, family problems, and a pestering older half-brother who stole the girl he loved, and the other one is an ashamed Prince who wishes nothing more than to reclaim his throne and rule his kingdom. The two don't look eye to eye throughout pretty much the whole story and their personalities differ so greatly, almost as if they were day and night (Sol meaning sun and nox meaning night). They have nothing in common, yet as the story progresses certain habits and genetic traits begins to show through (Like they both suck through their teeth) and their similarities stand out over their differences. Although this isn't a main feature of the first story, it also describes the differences between both worlds (Earth and the alternate world) and how the societies and beliefs are so radically different. So, I'm not going to put anything more of the story up, but what do you think of the title: "The Solstice & The Equinox" Does it sound good? Catchy? Would you pick up or at least glance at a book with said title? Does the story behind the title sound good? If not, can someone please, maybe, if they possibly could, suggest some titles (◕ω◕✿) ? Please? Thanks in advanceeeeee (◕ω◕✿) @Good Oh don't worry I don't plan too lol. I'm keeping it every to myself. The summer and winter thing doesn't really matter it's more the concept of the Solstice and the Equinox itself :P

Voting Question: In The Sims 3, is there any way around the disappearing Sims travel glitch?
(Background Info) I have every expansion and stuff pack up to Pets, and I do not mod my game. I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit on a Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R motherboard, an Intel i7 920 processor, a Gigabyte Nvidia GeForce GTX 260 video card at 1080p, and 6GB of Corsair Dominator RAM. I'm experiencing the Sims 3 glitch where you try to travel to a location and when you receive there none of your Sims are there with you. I've tried every location, and every different combination of my Sims traveling (just the mom, the mom and the son, the mom, son, and daughter, etc) because that's made it work again for me before, but not anymore I guess. Thankfully ever since the first time this has happened to me I now always keep before I travel, so my family is still good, but I want them to travel dang it! I didn't spend every this money on expansion packs so they wouldn't work! I tried reseting the sims before sending them, that didn't help. Then I thought if I did a reset every (resetsim *) on my neighborhood and the one I was traveling to that might help, so I tried to go to Shang Simla in Edit Town mode and it wouldn't even let me do that! It would attempt to load the town then receive kinda glitchy (different theme musics started interrupting and playing over eachother during the loading screen), then when it did load I was back in Edit Town of my neighborhood and I wasn't in control of my family anymore, like I had done a switch household or whatever. Wtf is up with that? Anyways that's every I've tried and I've read that a lot of people have this glitch and EA has done nothing about it, I really have no faith in them anymore. So my main question really is, does anybody know of a way around this glitch? I really would like to receive my Sims traveling again. Should I try re-installing just World Adventures? Thanks in advance for your help. Using the computer to travel didn't fix it. :(

Resolved Question: Boring girlfriend. She sound boring to you?
Been dating this girl for 9 months almost and im starting to receive sleepy of her. Nothing ever changes in her life and she doesn't have any passions, hobbies, or stories to tell. Like i adore snowboarding and hiking and stuff and she never brings it up. I expect a girlfriend to be like, "hey, i really wanna try this!" or "hey, lets go hiking sometime!"...but instead she has not a word to say. She is content with just sitting at home every weekend watching tv, which isnt who i am! i'm ALWAYS the one talking about myself. She doesn't ask me these question, i kinda just talk about them because if i didnt talk, there would be silence. It just feels like she is content with sitting at home and watching life pass her by, and im a teen boy looking to adventure the world and learn new things. kinda thinking of breaking up with her. Its a shame because she is very beautiful, loving, and caring and makes me glad, but i just dont look it working out in the long run. EDIT: Asked this 5 minutes ago but i wanna add stuff. We talked about it and she told me she WANTS to be adventurous and wants to travel the world with me, but based on her actions the past 9 months, its not who she is. She doesnt have many friends because she always says she "doesn't know what to say" and ive been encouraging her to break out of her comfort zone. Like if i bring something up, she will say "sure lets do it" but she never suggests anything fun for us to do. She kinda just wants to arrive along for the ride. Metaphorically, i am the pilot of my journey though life. I need a co-pilot, and right now she is just being a flight attendant/passenger. if that makes any sense?

Resolved Question: Would you consider a person who has accomplished the following things by age 30 to be a success?
Bachelors degree with honors Adventured and traveled a decent amount Gained skills in music, artwork, writing etc. Worked in a couple of different areas pre-degree (construction, warehouse work, misc.) Acquired a decent amount of assets and savings (no home but vehicles and other stuff, tiny amount of school debt only) Personally developed mentally, physically, spiritually, and had a lot of fun (got the wilder days out of the way) I have "half" accomplished every of these things after coming from a difficult background, I'm only 24. These are a lot of my goals I have set to be completed by 30, or things I've done already. I had a rough 16-20, but since have recovered (gained a lot of wisdom). I have left myself the option of marriage but it is not a huge priority. I'm not going to receive super serious about that until my tardy 20's, and into my 30's. I've had girlfriends, plenty of them, and I just feel like at this point in time I'm in a place where they are a distraction from accomplishing my goals. I would not like any advice on my adore life, thanks. Would you consider someone who has done these things to have had a successful life and/or be "on schedule" to accomplish greater things moving forward? I realize everyone has their possess timeline and blazes their possess path, but generally speaking. I am also aware that these questions may seem a bit egoic, but that is not my intent. I appreciate any feedback I can receive. Please, no meanies! Thanks.

Resolved Question: reaching the world with Jesus Christ?
i'm 21 and became a Christ follower two years ago. my dream in life since like high school has been to live a life of adventure. i really like traveling and seeing the world. those were my greedy dreams before i met Jesus. now, as i become more and more selfless, i want to show Christ-like adore, and have opportunities to share the Gospel with people who don't know Jesus. ideally, i would just adore to steer around the States and have a traveling ministry! even fly overseas with some fellow Christ followers, and just live spontaneously and in adventure, going where God leads. 1. is this possible? 2. is this an effective way of reaching people?

Resolved Question: Taking a trip to Dublin, Ireland (got TONS of questions)?
Ok so first thing is...I want to stay in Ireland for 7 days. My budget is $1,000-$3,500. I wish to spend $800 or less for the ticket and use the relax for a place to stay (I hear Bed and breakfasts are cheap), transportation, food, and maybe one souvenir. Is that enough? And I'm going tardy Fall, is it expensive around that time to travel? Do I need any official documents besides a passport? If want to do some adventuring, is it best to receive a boring old guide or should I try and make friends with the locals? I am a young African American lady (just turned 18 a few months ago). Is it safe for me in Dublin? I ask this because I'm young, black, and a girl (I think every those traits makes me 10x more likely to be robbed or the victim of a hate crime )...especially the being black part (though I have some Irish heritage on my dad's side which is why I'm so interested in the country)...so are the majority of Irish people racist or unkind to black or American people? I would think they wouldn't mind me being black since they've had some of the same struggles and I think they were slaves too. Thanks to those who answer every my questions thoroughly (sorry to ask so many, I just really want to know what I'm in for)

Resolved Question: Advice: to travel or not to travel?
I've just graduated from University with a 2.1 but have found like so many others have that there aren't many jobs available these days even with a university degree. I've made some great friends when travelling. People I've kept in touch with for years now. They've offered me the chance to go and live with them in Turkey. Should I take it? I need some objective answers which is why I'm here. I graduated last summer and I've been looking for work ever since, theres just nothing that I can find. I also have a TEFL degree (Teaching English as a Foreign language) from a previous experience. Am I being rash? I'm thinking of the adventure side of it but I'm terrified that I'm running away from my problems here. Obviously I'd arrive home again but I'm not sure when. maybe in 4-6 months? Gah please help!

Resolved Question: Critique my story after full metal alchemist brotherhood.?

Resolved Question: SC's Are any of you Snow Birds?
We are lucky enough to be spending the winter months back in the US in sunny Nevada with our adult son. Last winter we froze ourselves living in eastern Europe. With high prices for everything we really had to plan well to keep up for our airfare. How many people here are able to travel away from the icy winters and how often do you receive away, each year or every few years? We are already thinking about how we can keep up for a trip next winter to SE Asia, at least we hear it is cheap over there and we don't expect to have 5 star accommodations, just a new adventure .

He continues along with his brother Alphonse Elric: who married Princess May Chang, to Travel every around the world to discover new Alchemy never before studied. Edward Learned everything there was to learn about Alchemy in the west, and Al learned everything there was to learn about the East, both have wild adventures. The Elric Brothers combined their knowledge to be the best Alchemists in the world. Roy Mustang recognized their new power of alchemy and he decides to perhaps share their knowledge to the world for a better future. Ed and Al accept and create a new academy called "Elric Alchemist". Now with new knowledge Ed would tutor the new students while Al would Demonstrate. Elric Alchemy was the most advanced form of combining elements of equal exchange using extremely unique and complex forms of transmutations. Years progressed and Central became more advanced with buildings, skyscrapers, Cars were more powerful, computer tech is dominating, radio is being used more often and gives birth to cell phones, and flying air crafts are the new way to travel. the world around them becomes more modern and a new age Alchemy Rise's.Retired Ed now and old man request his brother NOT to make him young he wants to die and meet Winry on the otherside. Al has used and advanced form of alchemy that was never shared to the world alkahestry that can heal 100% (Cancer, Sickness, lost limbs... etc. etc. etc. except the Head) the human body... it has been keeping AL looking young and healthy for many, many years. Ed refuses to use it because he wants to die old and finally meet Winry who already died recently. But Ed pushes AL to keep going to keep understanding Alchemy and a new theory of where exactly Alchemy comes from. The Origin of Alchemy itself. Al refuses at first but understands now what Ed wants him to do. After every Alphonse always loved alchemy more then ED ever did and is now being asked to pursue the ultimate question. A little more years pass and Edward Elric has finally passed away. Alphonse is retired and has pledged never to tutor alchemy again while Ed's 2 kids join him on his Adventure for truth. The world is now changed Alphonse can gather just the right amount of certain types of elements together to combine his Alchemy so that he can make a flying plane. It's very common in fact to create cell phones, cars, computers, pretty much anything that Elric Alchemy lets you to do.. it can make body suits -like the ones used in James Cameron's Avatar- and many many things. what really pushed Elric Alchemy forward was the world of quantum physics and the ability to look at an element below a micro scope to understand it how it works. Alphonse goes deep into his Discoveries and tracks little by little secrets never explained before. He winds up south of the planet below icy weather hoping to find a mysterious cave with signs and paintings on the walls. he goes deeper in the cave that has never ever been researched or explored before.. he finds excellent fossils and good history, stuff that really got him excited. after studying the cave for several hours he discovers a hollow wall... Alphonse breaks it using his Alchemy and the Cave just became more mysterious. As he enters more it starts to show signs of intelligence life that once was there. He lights it up with flame to look clearly and then he look's somethings that has never discovered before a tiny boy no older then 8 inside a frozen glass pod that was on the wall. It seems as though the Boy was preserved in ice Alphonse uses his hands to dust off any more ice to look the boy clearly and look's the he's wearing an amulet over the neck. Carefully Alphonse uses his alchemy to clean off every thing on the pod. It was odd but a pot centuries old still had familiar language on the command buttons. he press a certain button that opens the hatch and it immediately begins to melt and resurrect the boy.The Boy wakes up says "where am I". Alphonse quickly look's the boy is harmless and says "your safe". AL not only discovered a mysterious boy but a Sorry for making it long.

Resolved Question: When to stop waiting - alone in a marriage?
For the first two years of our now 5 year relationship, I had never been more in adore or felt luckier. I really couldn't have asked for anything more. We connected on every level and she became my best pal - a soul mate. We had more fun together than I have ever had with anyone. We traveled, had wild sex, went out with friends and made time for each other. Making sure to do little and big things we knew the other loved to show our appreciation. She always talked about the importance of work-life balance so I never imagined what followed. Shortly after I proposed, she got a new job and everything changed. Work-life balance was out the window and she started working crazy long hours. Often leaving the home at 6am and not getting back until 11pm at night - sometimes even later for work social events. This leaves her dead exhausted on the weekend and often falling asleep at 9 or 10pm on a Friday night killing any plans we might have to go out. On weekends she is bringing home work and generally giving every of her energy to her job. At first she said it was just temporary so I ignored it and respected that it was a busy time in her life. We got married however, and it only continued. What made it worse, is that I have no idea when she will be home. I receive an e-mail at 7 saying she has to stay to 11. This has been going on for nearly three years now. I used to receive mad - to receive upset at how alone I felt. The part that scares me most now is that I don't anymore. I don't battle her about it any longer - I've just given up. I've asked her a thousand times in a thousand ways to make me a priority but I just keep being told 'just a little bit longer' or told to receive other activities to keep me busy. I am taking lessons, going out with friends and being as busy as I can be but it is lonly. One more than a few occations I have been tempted to cheat and have let girls hit on me longer than I should just to like the attention. I have no interest in cheating - on being the bad guy but I worry about making a mistake I hate in this situation. The little things are stopping. As sex dwindles and every of our fun adventures cease, I have stopped giving her weekly massages and doing special things for her. I have told her how serious it is and she says she finally gets it but I don't believe it is what she really wants. I feel like I am forcing her to change. She says it will cease by the end of February or she will leave but I can't help but feel like it should have never arrive to this point. Moreover, I am not sure it can every be repaired. I loved what our relationship was - more than I could ever imagine - but I wonder if it can ever arrive back and if I am chasing a shadow. I should say that money is not the issue. I make well over 100k and she is making about 90. I am ambitious and successful and I know she wants to be as big a success in what she does. She is a wonderful person and I know she wants to do well by her job but has this gone too far? I really badly don't want a divorce but I can't even talk about this anymore. Just raising the topic, no matter how sensitively, turns it into a battle. She points to times where I had to travel a lot for my work and says she didn't care about it and that she should have the same right. What was materially different, at least in my opinion, is that I was never gone longer than a three or four nights and I would arrive back well rested with energy and time for her on the weekends. Charged up to look her. Lastly, I have no worry at every that she is cheating. I know her work colleagues and they are every working these nice of hours. I've stopped by at 10pm at night and seen the place full - it is just the insane culture of the place. So, with every that as long context, what to do? Should I hold on until the end of February? Even if she does leave - is that really the right/fair thing? Most importantly, how does one rebuild from here. How do I receive over the hurt and pain of the last 3 years and reboot the relationship even if she does want to make it better now? I'm lost and finding this profoundly difficult.

Resolved Question: Is this a good story starter?
Caelyn sat on her wooden boat, her eyes far away, her viloin filling the air with unhappy notes. Her bony hand put down the bow, along with the viloin as the odor of death reached her. She rean her dry toung across her teeth and slipped into the muddy water, her hair in rangtails because of the slashing rain. Picking up her viloin to play again, a tiny tear leaked out the corner of her eye. "Are you traveling there?" The libarain asked her. Startled, Caelyn looked up from tracing her finger on a map. It was the route she was going to make, in her boat. The time when she were going to have a real adventure. When she would run away from everything and look the world. every those smudgy skies, sunsets and sandy beaches. She would travel every around the world, alone. "Uh huh," she nodded. The librarian shook her head and laughed. Caelyn looked up again. "It's dangerous out there," she said. Blankly, Caelyn shook her head. "I know that," she said quitley. Th libairian laughed again but this time more nervously. She caught the the childs eye. She looked serious enough. The libairian despretlay made the child made her mind. It was dangerous out there. She knew it, danger once had pounced on her. When she was running away. She remembered tears of fury running down her face as she stood at the edge of the cliff. One more step and she would be hurtling into the water. But then she remembered her life, her future and then stepped back and sat down, rocking back and fourth. "No, its very dangerous" the libairian said. Caelyn ignored her. The libairian came over with pain striken eyes. The danger out there. She coukd receive killed, she thought. "hear child! I nearly got killed! Don't run away," she said. "Think about your future, your life!" she said despratly, kneeling down beside her. Once again, Caelyn ignored her. Her eyes where still shining dertermindly. She had red hair like a river of curls and intriging green eyes that looked into people's souls. She looked like a angle, so calm and thrilling. But she wasn't. She was determined, brave and risky. "You'll look" Caelyn said to the libairian and walked out, the libairian staring after her. I am only 11 so it's nto great but I really really want to be a writer. Do you think I am getting anywhere? Thanks for everyones awsners! xx

Resolved Question: Can anyone give me a recommendation for a romance manga or light novel?
I am looking for a romance manga (completed if possible) or a light novel (completely translated). I am specifically looking for one in which the main characters are traveling together on some sort of adventure. I was looking for one similar to Spice and Wolf, which I loved. It seems that there aren't many out there that can arrive close to that. So the next best thing would be an adventure romance story. I have never read a light novel before, so if you suggest one could you please tell me how or where I can find it? The stories in these anime/manga were really good: Zero no Tsukaima Spice and Wolf Shakugan no Shana Kaichou wa Maid Sama Angel Beats Kimi ni Todoke (I know that some of these don't have adventure in them but the stores were really good. So if you have seen or read these and know of similar ones please let me know.) Please, and Thanks Oh and I have seen Inuyasha as well.

Resolved Question: Action/Adventure Manga Recommendations?
I've read just about every action manga that's popular, and am looking for more! I'm in a slump and am unable to locate any mangas that I like lately. The most recent one that I read was "Witch Hunters" (which is eerily similar to D. Gray Man imo), and it was pretty good! So, here are some criteria I'd like your suggestions to meet: - Over 50 chapters - Available for reading in English translations online - Of the action or adventure genres (fighting, traveling, etc.) - Little to no romance - Plot doesn't entirely matter, not a big fan of horror (or romance) A bit of mangas I've recently read: Shaman King, Hunter X Hunter, Black Cat, Until Death Due Us Part, SWOT, Code: Breaker, Zero, Gantz (only horror manga that I've enjoyed), Witch Hunters, D. Gray Man, Deadman Wonderland (partly horror), Mirai Nikki (more psychological but still action), etc. If you name a manga I've read, I'll just edit and tell ya'. I also like psychological and mystery thrillers (like Monster, Death Note, 20th Century Boys, Mirai Nikki, etc.), but am mainly looking for action & adventure at this point. I'm really appreciative to anyone who contributes a manga! :3 It can be a manhwa as well (like Noblesse, which I absolutely adore, not a big fan of any of the author's other work though). Frieza! Fairy Tail, One Piece, and Shaman King are every mangas that I've read and thoroughly enjoyed. Thanks for your thorough answer though! =P

Open Question: Can I go from friend back to love interest with this girl?
So this girl and I went on a big hitchhiking adventure a week after meeting each other. I did not know anything about how to be romantic like holding hands and kissing and it soon became as though we were friends. Do I have another chance with her if I look her again? Or did I mess it up badly? We were together for a long time. It feels bad because in the beginning she wanted me to kiss her but I didn't understand. I just asked her what she wanted to do. We are in our twenties. I have a feeling that she's very experienced because she's very pretty. Isn't there something wrong if a good-looking couple traveling don't make out? I wish I had been more direct. I tried but I couldn't share my feelings.

My friends and I are now 19 and want to go on an adventure because we have saved up some money and have been looking forward to this for quite some time. We want to go to Florida and rent or buy a boat then sail to the Bahamas. I understand the weather conditions and the logistics of immigrations. My question is simply if the trip would be a good idea because, none of us have sailed before however do have skills in hand-on activities, and are a group of athletic guys that also have common sense. My point is that we are every confident that we could complete such a trip but want the advice of someone that has more experience and wisdom on this subject, and to ask them what they think? and if this is a good idea or if we should just go somewhere else.
