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 w...

@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.
- @Tremayne4260 I have the windows 10 pro 64 bit and an intel core 2 duo cpu processor (e7500 @ 2.93GHz). I also have 4 gb of ram on my computer and directx 12. I dont know whether the page file matters but i have 3075mb used and 6999mb available. My screen size is 1366 x 768 and has a recommended refresh rate of around 60. I have tried a lot of methods, even opening it in windows compatability mode but when i try to search how to make sims2 run faster, they tell me to install mods which i can not do as my computer does not do very well with mods and cc.
- @Tremayne4260 I have heard of a 4gb patch but i do not understand what that does to be honest. and soemthing called nraas?
@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.
