WCIF Showtime Relationships Fix

My singer loses friends every time she has a performance, even if it's legendary. This is ridiculous. Is there a fix out there for this? Makes the game unplayable to me.

Thanks.

This is not a gaming PC. It's also full of old tech and due to the slimline case it is not upgradable. The sticky, while outdated in some areas, will give you a good idea of what to look for.

It's a very cheap quality power supply and isn't recommended for that reason. Technically, it should be okay, but you're taking a risk with your hardware by using a power supply so cheaply made.
