Hello, so my problem is that when my sim goes to talk to many sims like 4 sims the game just goes horribly slower and its painful, when there's only 2 sims talking its just a little bit of lag, and when i only have 1 on my screen its perfect. Is there any solution to this? 🙂
@Toninfinite , you should probably check your Virtual Memory within your Windows OS and increase it so it mirrors the amount of RAM you have. Not only Sims 2 has problems with this, but other games as well. You can do a Google Search on exactly how to change the settings.
Please let me know if this works for you.
i have the correct computer specs (i think) because i did a can you run it test on my computer and it came back positive. but my fps is very slow and when i enter create a student, the sim looks soo shiny.
@mynameissstamara , again as I said to the original poster, you should check your Virtual Memory. While your computer can run the game and has the hardware and memory to do so, increasing your Virtual Memory will make the game run more smoothly. You can Google search for instructions on how to do this. This is a problem with not only Sims 2, but other games as well.
@mynameissstamara , ok the 4GB patch for Sims 2 combines all the patches ever released for Sims 2 and its expansion and stuff packs. Since the game no longer is supported by EA, several players have combined the patches that were released for Sims 2 into one giant patch for the disk version of the game. This insures that your game is up to date and corrects many bugs and issues that were found during the initial release of the game. If you play the game through Origin, you do not need the 4GB as Origin automatically updates the game when it is installed.
NRAAS was a modder who created mods for Sims 3 which fixed many of the issues the game had. Those mods will not work for Sims 2 or 4.
In order to increase your Virtual Memory, you need to Google search specifically for "How to increase your Virtual Memory". You do not need to add Sims 2 or any other game title to find these instructions.
So, i had to reinstall my sims 2 and delete all my files connecting to ts2 but when i go in create a sim, the sims are soo shiny and even if i put it on low resolution and settings, they are still very shiny
@mynameissstamara , are you using any mods or CC? Can you post a screenshot of what the sim looks like? Have you tried playing the game at all and are they still shinny?
@Tremayne4260 Sorry i took so long to reply, i had to deal with microsoft because my computer literally malfunction in which i had to download windows 8.1 onto my computer. I did reinstall the sims 2 but now in create a sim the screen flickers when i zoom in and out and the room disapears when i zoom out and it shows the outside setting. I have attached my new dxdiag thing.
