[HELP] - I CAN'T BUILD HOUSES!

Well, I don't think that some people have the same problem as I, but, I'm just going to ask; WHAT'S UP WITH MY GAME??? Whenever I start building a house, every few minutes later, it crashes, so, well, please answer this. (P.S.. Is this something about my game? Or is it my computer myself?)

  • Do you have just the base game or expansions as well ?

    Your computer is on the low side, especially the graphic chip you have in there. You might be ablet to play if you lower all settings to the lowest options (ingame). You should also check if there are new drivers for your chip. They are pretty old.

    That's all. I think. Please do answer me.. I'll check back tomorrow. -_- YOU ARE A LIFESAVER. I have tons of ideas, i just can't apply them to the game. So for now, i'm considering playing my sims 2 game until you reply back. THANK YOU in advance. 🙂

    (P.S. ALSO, i forgot to read the last part of the post i read so, umm, there might have been some unnecesarry things in there. *facepalm*  I was only focusing on making houses. HAHA. Ignore them. LOL.)

    Do you have just the base game or expansions as well ?

    Your computer is on the low side, especially the graphic chip you have in there. You might be ablet to play if you lower all settings to the lowest options (ingame). You should also check if there are new drivers for your chip. They are pretty old.
