How to make my game running faster with CC?
I still have a strong interest in the sims 2 but it faded away since my gaming computer makes my game very slow. More slower than it was with Vista and a 32 bit system. I know I have a huge amount of ...

@Scribal_Goddess1) Remove securom. (Can't link you because the mods look askance at modifying actual game files... just google it.) 90% of the time this reduces load speeds by about a quarter to a half regardless of how much CC you use. I used to play on a Vista machine and with securom a totally vanilla game took me 30+ minutes to load.
Me , a couple of months ago , I had vista 32 bit and it was slow with or without cc. Currently vanilla game runs fasts but my 8.74 Gb of cc (75% of them are recolours) is not playable at all. Does securom even freeze the loading of the house catalog, none of them are cc inside and all the furniture and the build mod cc?
Because the game blocked totally it "doesn't answer".3) Pull unneeded neighborhoods. Just take any maxis neighborhoods you don't use and shunt them into a desktop file - you can put them right back in if you want, but having all what, ten of them, plus custom neighborhoods, available can slow down load times.
So for instance I play veronaville I can delete the others I don't use? Neat I never knew ! What about the sub cities? As University,the downtown, bluewater village, the vacations areas ? I don't use Bluewater.
@Scribal_Goddess and @JULES1111 If I delete securom can I have still use my AL disc? Or should I play with a no-cd patch? Because some no-cd patch are clean others are virus.
@swillfly yes I do often.
Thank you for the reply. I hope it's fixable because I am very tired of the slowness of the game. I am about to uninstall it forever.
Yes Securom causes havoc especially on the build/buy catalogs. The catalogs are the worst. If you remove it, no you can not use the disk any longer, it will reinstall itself. You will have to get a new .exe to use. If you decide to remove it let me know, I can help with a safe .exe, though I can't link it on the forum. Can't help with which neighborhoods are safe to delete though. If I were you I would start with the Securom, and see how the game runs before jumping into deleting neighborhoods.
