Haha, I know what you mean about saving taking forever to load. It's a very good thing you save often, because I certainly don't! I tend to like to play with sims that I didn't create and play match maker a lot, but I also like to play with sims I put a lot of time into. & I agree with your 6th post. This forum does attract some rather rude and rather slow people in my time of forum posting.
