The Sims 2 PC


Question Posted Tuesday July 15 2008, 6:38 pm

The Sims 2 Expansion pack games for PC take up a lot of room on the PC and makes it slow and even ruined my last computer. I really want to play it though. Is there any alternative to installing it without it taking up my computers memory? Thanks!

Unfortunately, there isn't. Your best bet would be to upgrade your computer's hard drive. It's pretty easy to do this if you know what you're doing, if not then get a computer shop to do it for you. I'd be interested to see your system specs if you know them.
My computer runs the sims 2 and most of the expansions fine. I'll list my specs, but if you're just trying to play the sims 2 you won't need nearly this much.

it made my computer SLOWWWW and made it have a lot of problems. i've called EA games and so many other ways of trying, it still made it slow.
you could try using a laptop and getting more memory, but otherwise, it'll probably make it slow.
