your welcome. The only other thing I can tell you is to uninstall manually, get everything off your registry, slow boot your computer, download the game while everything is turned off in the backround and see how the game plays.
the other thing you could do is system restore back to windows 8 but that would require a full system restore and discs from microsoft. There is no restore point on windows 8.1 to get back to windows 8. This was my whole problem on my HP computer. The restore ruined it.
I have a desktop. The problem also arose while i had my 660 Ti, and it played Island Paradise flawlessly for weeks before it stopped running it well. I have had my OS reloaded numerous times and my computer hardware extensively tested in the months i have had this problem.
No problem since you have a desktop. as I posted I was playing Island Paradise a while on an OK lap top. It worked for a while but as the saves got bigger and I played longer the stuttering occured so I just moved my sims out of IP. This EP has a lot of problems and is the biggest world. Have you uninsatalled and reinstalled and just left IP out of your computer? If it's just that EP that is giving you problems and may be causing problems for you in other worlds as well, I would just remove IP. You may have to do a manual uninstall to do a clean reinstall without IP. If you dont want to touch your registry by following instructions on the web (i wont) to do the manual uninstall you can call EA and they will walk you through manual uninstall. Sometimes files get left behind from uninstalling and reinstalling and stop the game from working properly
Yeah, I tried without it only up to University. The Uni world is literally the worst one for this,I can't even play in that world it's so bad. IP is actually one of the better worlds to play in. Sure it lags but the camera movments are smoother then aploosa plains and Midnight Falls. I have tried the clean uninstall like 5 times with no results. I found that the game will run way better when it's paused also.
crin wrote you back in your thread and may have help for you. I don't have uni maybe in general why I never had the problems your having. I was going to reinstall IP only because a saved game I have is using some things from that EP but I am playing roaring heights. Ill see what happens when I get the rest of this game in. I have to fix my microsoft issue first
@PaulJazz24 I just noticed you have the ASUS with 3D screen? I wonder if that could be causing you problems with the sims? My computer is 3D compatible but I dont have the 3D screen. My computer will however work on my 3D TV if I hook my computer up to my TV.
