And if you decide to play TS3 on it, keep away from those high poly CC hairs .

Really? Yayyyy. But what exactly do you mean by that? What about if I play TS3 with Late Night, Generations, Supernatural and Seasons? Or are the last 2 too recent?

Late Night and Generations should be fine. Supernatural I'm not sure about.

Ah thanks. I don't suppose i could substitute seasons with university life? And you're absolutely sure the laptop can handle it and it won't put strain on it or anything? I'm very paranoid
