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!

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.

you could try using a laptop and getting more memory, but otherwise, it'll probably make it slow. [ Annerszz_101's advice column | Ask Annerszz_101 A Question ]
