Your CPU is fine, your RAM is ok for the 32 bit OS you have but with games you've played for a while, the game usually starts to have issues cause it uses more RAM than you have.
Your graphics card is underpowered according to this: http://simswiki.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:TS3_System_Requirements. Also the drivers are from March. Nvidia had quite a few upgrades on their cards although that might not apply to XP.
Is this a new game you're playing or have you been playing it for a while ?
My dad is going to the store on Thursday to buy me a new graphics card. I believe it will solve the problem.
Thank you for your time and help. 😕mileyvery-happy:
Make sure you get one that still works with XP. XP Support is being shut down soon so it's possible that newer cards have issues with XP.
I want to buy the Radeon HD 7750 is that good for XP?
I don't know and I don't have the time to research that for you. Ask in a Store or search on the Internet.
