I've been dying to get under way with my new family, the Harts, but my game has had other plans.
Originally I settled the Harts in a big mansion in Los Aniegos. I'd opted for pre-built house in one of my favourite worlds to reduce the time it would take me to set-up before playing, but sadly my game was riddled with lagging and crashing every time I tried to play.
I tried everything, from DEP to clean re-install... Nothing seemed to fix the problem. Now I'm pretty sure it was an issue with the house, because I'd experience the same problems in that house with different families. But on the flip-side, I could play any other house in the same world and not have the lagging and crashing problems. So I've chalked this up to another case of the little EA gremlins having fun times at my expense.
I've decided to try again in another favourite world - St Claire. I'm hastily knocking up a mansion based on photos I found online, and hope to have it finished and furnished today or tomorrow so I can settle in and get to know the Harts all weekend.
