The sims 2

I bought The Sims 2 yesterday for only 10 dollars! That’s pretty damn good savings. Yes it’s not that big of a deal anymore but I saved like probably $40 if i had bought it in the store. So I installed it today in my external hard drive. I do not recommend that because it’s so slow. So I played it anyway but unfortunately it crashed on me like 3 times! :mad: Not knowing why or how. I thought it was because I installed it in the external hard drive but it was actually because of my graphics card. It’s not “good” enough for The Sims 2. I have the Radeon 7000 but the requirement is Radeon 7200 or more. Bleh. How picky can this game be? First it needs to be used if you have 3.5 GB of space or more? That’s already alot to ask for.. Then this stupid Radeon business… So now I have to update the drivers and pray that it works. But another problem came up, I need .net framework 2.0 to install the updated drivers.. So much hassle for a friggin video game. I’ll probably get tired of it just as easily as I got tired of The Sims 1. Hell I spend more on that than The Sims 2. Oh well.. I can only have such small amount of patience. If it doesnt work then oh well.

    Thank you so much that you told me about the problem when you tried commenting and there where only a white page. I didn’t know about this problem. Thank you, again ! :)

    Aaah, The Sims 2. I’m sorry that it doesn’t work like it supposed to. Yes, you probably get easly tired of it, like the Sims 1.

    dude, that’s a nice buy if you only got it for $10. I had some trouble with it at first too…I had to install more memory for it to work, but in the end I think its worth it. The graphics and gameplay are 9287438974 times better than sims 1.

    Sorry to hear about that. That always seems to be the case – you find a great deal on something, but then there’s always some hidden catch. Are the driver upgrades you need free?

    I’m not much into videogaming but lucky you that you got it for $10! Good buy! Sucks that it doesn’t seem to agree with your computer’s specs.

    Wow, $10 for Sims 2 is a really good buy. Too bad it doesn’t work well on your computer :/

    Wow, the $10 was a really good price for it, but sorry that it doesn’t work well on your computer.
