Gutted? Hardly, it takes far more than a game to make me gutted. It was the time spent creating and not getting a chance to use the Sim that annoyed me.

Sims 3 maks backups of saves. My whole house was deleted and I thought I'd never be able to play it again but all I had to do was go into the saves folder and remove the word 'backup' from the previous save file. I think any mistakes are easy to fix. Of course, if a sim dies you can always just not save it and play from your last save file. If you're doing something important, save often.

It seems you don't comprehend well. I didn't need to back up, I simply exited without saving, then went back prior to the drowning and evicted them.

Despite the length of the first post, I'm still a little sketchy on what actually happened. How long had they been swimming? Can they only get out one at a time? How much energy did the one who died have left? What traits did he have (apart from athletic)?

You should have read my second post and you would know that all of their bars were half green, they had been swimming around 2 hours. His other traits as well as athletic were green thumb computer whizz ambitious and friendly.

To those who have a problem with the length of my post. I have been using message boards for over 11 years. Those I use are cold case homicides forums, tennis and Big Brother. Other than the Big Brother forum this one seems to have managed to attract very rude and intolerant people.. Forum/message boards are about communicating with others, that is done with words. I think that maybe the problem is you don't have enough time to write more than one sentence, or maybe you don't have enough imagination to know how to communicate.
