Sims2 help :[


Question Posted Friday August 22 2008, 12:07 pm

Okay I have windows vista and whenever I try to play the Sims2, it wont work.
Likee after the intro when you put the disk in and the blue screen comes up and its loading the game and its configuring everything.. the game "crashes to my desktop" and UGHH its so friggin annoying!
I have the freaking stupid Norton Security thing but my subscription has been expired for a few months.
Could that have anything to do with it? Because I sooo do not wanna renew my subscription for a freaking one hundred dollars to play a game...

i have the same problem...the thing is that windows vista is just not compatible with the sims 2. it may still work because i manage to work mine but there are a lot of problems. this is because sims 2 is older than vista and they dont work well together. im not sure what you can do but i can assure you it has nothing to do with norton. you could try uninstalling the game and installing it again....
good luck!

I had a problem similar to this. It could be that the Sims 2 takes up too much of your computers memory, so try to get rid of other big programs.

It could possibly be that you have a low virtual memory.

If you download a lot of things from the exchange or anything, that can crash your game. If that's the case, maybe try uninstalling Sims and reinstalling without downloads.
