Thank you so much for your reply!
Here is the information for my two computers. (Sorry, my level about computers is bad, but here's the information I can give you):
- My computer where The Sims 2 Legacy is currently installed:
GPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7435HS Mobile Processor 3.1GHz (8 cores, 16 Threads) (to 4.5 Ghz)
The graphics card : AMD Radeon RX 7600S
Ram: 16 GB
System: Microsoft Windows 11
- My second computer, on which I'm hesitant to reinstall The Sims 2 Legacy:
GPU: 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-13650HX (2.60 GHz)
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070
Ram: 32 GB
System: Microsoft Windows 11
Based on your previous answer, it doesn't seem worthwhile to switch to my other computer with 32GB of RAM. However, I'll let you check the specifications. Please let me know if there might be a performance improvement or not.
I really love The Sims 2. And I would love to make it the best experience possible. This game is so incredible, I really want to see how far it can go in terms of the number of buildings, the size of the cities that can be created, etc.
I would have another question:
If I don't create a big city, but instead I create a lot of sub-neighborhoods into my main neighborhood, will the game's loading time still be limited to 4GB of RAM (so it will be the same loading time from 16GB to 32GB of my computer's RAM), or will the computer's 32GB allow for faster loading?
Idem, if I create a lot of neighborhoods (main-neighborhoods) into my game, will the computer's 32GB of RAM allow for faster game loading when starting the game?
Thank you so much! 🙂
HeyJeremyBlueStar,
You're welcome!
The second PC is slightly better than the first. I would actually try installing Sims 2 on it if you're currently experiencing problems. Maybe the game runs better there. I've definitely read that Sims 2 has Problems with AMD graphics card.
As mentioned, since the game can only utilize 4 GB of RAM, it does not matter whether you have 16GB or 32GB installed. Therefore, this will not affect loading time. More important is an SSD, which is probably installed in both devices.
