I wanted to keep all games neatly in their own folder on a seperate drive but Sims 3 would have none of it. And then to top it off, it still refused anyway, so I may as well have just put it where I wanted! Arghh! As soon as I heard about all the Spore DRM crap I refused to install or play it, so our copy is gathering dust having never been used.

Ridiculous." This infuriates me 'so much' as being on a 64bit system I have two program files, the regular and a Program Filesx86 (where all the 32bit programs go). Instead of having my games split I decided to put them all in one place, given up in the end as it was a complete nightmare. Steam was the absolute worse for it, bah! I still have nightmares from all the junk EA put on my PC after downloading the Spore creature creator *shudder* “This game has to have what it wants and will turn its nose up at all but the prestigious ‘Program Files’ address.
