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...

@mynameissstamara , oh I had one of my friends who also helps out here on AHQ look at your DxDiag and apparently you need to check your USB drivers as many of your errors relate to your drivers being not powerful enough. Again, Google search on how to do this as I have no idea personally and would advise you to find either a YouTube video on the subject or step by step instructions.
@Tremayne4260 Yeah I have a problem with the front USB ports and was advised to go to a local technician , thank you anyways. I have seen a huge improvement in the game and it looks better, although i get this random glitch when the sims hair turns black and white and the world looks like the template of an oven. Scared the sims out of me 😅
@mynameissstamara , if it's the ports themselves, then yes, you should go see a local computer repair technician or shop.
In regards to the glitch, is it a CC hair or one of the ones within the game?

Within the game. I was just playing the game and all of the sudden one of my characters with cornrow hair had this black and white glitch. I could not take a photo or screenshot because it did not save. and when i zoomed out of the world it turned black and white and it was the outline of an oven. Creeped me out a bit and i haven't played it all day because of it.@mynameissstamara , try to start another game in the same neighborhood and see if it happens again. Just trying to narrow down the problem. 🙂
- @Tremayne4260 It still kind of does it.
@mynameissstamara , do you have any CC or mods in your game? One of these could be outdated and causing these glitches.
I don’t use cc or mods
@mynameissstamara , ok try this as I want to reset the game to vanilla state. Don't worry your saved games will be safe with what I am going to have you do. Locate your Sims 2 folder (found Documents > EA Games > Sims 2) and move this folder to your Desktop. Do not copy and paste or create a short cut. Actually move the folder to your Desktop. This folder is where your saved games are stored. Next start up the game and allow time for a new folder to generate. Once you see the neighborhood screen pop up, start a new game and play for about an hour or so to see if the glitch happens again.
Please keep me updated.
- @Tremayne4260 thank you, it works now
@mynameissstamara , wonderful! 🙂
