Make sure you actually have the register, because it doesn't always download with the shop.

Short version: I'm back in business. Less short version: I'm actually only almost back in business because there's still some mod or other that crashes the game, but that's trivial, I've done this before and I can do it again. I have most of the stuff back, and I got to play tonight. Longer version:...

My attempt to boot into safe mode took me to the same sign in page. I know what sage mode looks like, and I've used it multiple times, and this is not it. I'm taking the machine in to my friends at the electronics place today. I think there's deep shenanigans going on besides my mistakes. For exampl...

In the password creation screen ran into the problem that they wanted me to choose three security questions from a list of six, only one of which I could provide an answer to that I could have a hope in hell of ever re...

For some reason the reinstall takers six hours, which makes me so weary. Edit: also I am disproportionately annoyed that Steam logs me as "playing" Sims for almost twel...

It took a couple of tries but I got the reg keys to stick. I redownloaded Sims 3 in the midst of that and it's still creating a new folder in Public Documents, but I'm going to try redownloading it again, though my theory is that the Steam downloader is trying to make a folder in OneDrive when it do...

Apparently I did successfully rename the regkeys away from OneDrive, and I deleted the extra user accounts, but the game is still trying tto read from Public Documents, which I think may be Steam's fault.
