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 CC that makes my game toxic and it doesn't help me at all. In the past I always had this huge amount of CC that doesn't make any problems when I build/decorate. Even sims 2 was quicker than sims 3 in a non-gaming computer. However I need all of them because I need to redecorate and built the houses the game refused to install properly. For now I only use my CC for build and decorate. More than 8Gb of content >:) What the Plum I did? Ha just awesome CC really and gorgeous houses. It's temporarily , after finishing to rebuild everything I won't use everything.I keep my CD I don't want to ask for the UC. I consider the offer closed and my Internet connexion is DSL but slow speed. I don't want to wait for hours to have a game I got the CD.I could manage how to make it run with windows 10, No more screen stuck at 800x600, no more grey Smooth Edges thanks to the great tutorials in Internet. Especially the stunning help brought by leefish forum.My question is how can speed up my game continuing to use CC? I play with a disc of Appartement Life as last EP , no- noCD. Thank you in advance. Please be patient I am still a newbie with windows 10 and I am not sometimes good at English.---Processor: AMD FX(tm)-770K Quad Core Processor (4 CPUs), ~3.5GHzMemory: 8192MB Card name: AMD Radeon (TM) R9 200 Series.OS: Windows 10 64 bits Family

I agree with @Scribal_Goddess Securom can be a game killer on Windows 10. They don't play well together. You can also try the 4MB patch I wrote about it here: http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/925487/looking-for-a-mod#latestwith instructions. I would really get rid of Securom first though.

(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.

Try deleting the thumbnail cache files. Also, when's the last time you checked your downloads for duplicates? Use the Sims2Pk Clean Installer to remove any duplicates. They cause bloat. And use Delphy's tool to remove any recolors in there that don't have any meshes attached to them..they are called orphans. You can also remove old projects from your projects file (they cause lag, too). Delete all your cache files. Check which cc you want to keep, you have a very good pc, I would say it's the stuff I mentioned and some very high poly cc that is lagging your game. I have over 9GB of cc now and it's still great but you need to do these things often.

Even my old saves I don't possess them anymore.I am sorry for my absence, I was busy these couple of days with my story, my birthday etc. I followed the things that people suggested me here and you saved my game . I don't know how to thank you for all the useful trick you shared with me. It is very fast now and it's very playable. I only have to get rid off the cc I had that cause crash. I found them. I also do a small clean of cc I don't want to get . 9 GB is very very heavy mine is around this weight and it's only the build + recolours + master meshes + furniture meshes.Here are what I have done. I don't clean the neighbohour I don't use for now. I go step by step.You don't know how much I am happy I can keep my sims 2 ,I never had the chance to play it really with all the problems I got in the past. Now I tell myself if I knew this earlier.Here is the things suggested to me or I read in google I did. I have CDs. Windows 10. Delete Securom and play with a no-cd patch. Delete the symbols in CC name as @,,_,-,# etc. I use renamer.exe it’s better than Bulker because you can delete what you want until 5.000 files in a row without freezing and in a second if you got a good computer. Use CFF explorer and allow +2GB of ram not EPX.exe but in the launcher. (it can damage your SPx/EPx.exe I tried last time and I couldn’t launched the game, windows didn’t recognize it) Graphic Maker rules to correct the graphics rules and allows your graphic card to be recognized . Of course, always delete the cache files and the duplicates of your CC.I posted this on my Tumblr. Orphans I always clean them because they are useless you are right. I don't speak about them here but I do.

And it stills works awesomely now @Cinebar after months of testing. However for the gameplay I still don't try yet.
