Well, after several hours of intensive play, Benjamin Long is now married to one of my sims. Thumbs Up

All I have to do now is build some shops so that we can go and buy him some decent trousers! Laugh


Woohoo Big Grin

Game options to reduce the screen size, I think.

If you switch off unnecessary background tasks like anti-virus, spysweeper, adaware etc. that can improove performance, but remember to put them on again before you connect to the internet again.

When you open the thing, you hav the choiceof 2 screen sizes. The one with the smaller screen is less detailed, so uses less memory, so crashes less.

I now have a better PC, but SIMS doesn't work on Vista Frown I can open it and play but can't save anything Frown

Fortunately, I have SIMS Castaway on the PSP to keep me going Big Grin

And yes, also switch off your background programmes like virus checker whilst playing... just make sure you are offline too, when switching off your virus protection.

I'll have to have another look. I tried game options before but it didn't do it, but maybe I have to click out and click back in. I never run anything while I'm playing Sims..for that very reason, it always rashes.

Hi Aryldi..when I open it it goes automatically into the full screen. I had it reduced, but after I installed the Teen Pack it's gone to full screen and I can't remember how to get it back. That means I can't play any of the big families or anything coz it's too slow and will eventually crash.

I'll have to have another look later.

Thank you guys

My Sims Uni is acting up. One of my Sims has graduated twice now but when it comes time to go back to the old neighbourhood she ends up back at uni again. She's stuck in educational limbo lol Big Grin

No way!!! How did you start a fire in the bathroom?? Haa haa!!!! Must have been the candles Big Grin It's awful when they die in a fire...there's nothing you can do about it!!!!

If you get rid of the urn she'll disappear...though it's handy having a ghost around for the knowledge sims

Templeton, you have to go completely out and back to the disk to change your screen resolution size, as you would have made your shortcut to whatever screen size you have...

Open the disk, and choose to play in the different screen size to what you have now (you have 2 choices, sims 1824 x something, or something else by 640). Pick the smaller size, see if it works, and if it does then make yourself a new shortcut.

Good Luck.

Ary.

I used the boolprop cheat on mine and i put my toddlers hygene bar up so she doesn't need a bath but now there is green smoke coming out of the top of her head all the time lol.
The only way i can get rid of the glitch is to move them out but i can't be bothered as they live in a mansion and i took ages decorating it.
