Sims 2 issue?

OK, just so you are aware, your processor just barely meets the minimum requirements for play, so regardless of what you do, you may find you'll always have some issues with smooth game play.
Let me know how your game works without the cc. :)

Crap. Really? I always thought that there'd be a problem with me playing the game and what not. But is there a way to like, upgrade everything or something?
It works like it normally does without the CC. Like from the start menu it loads faster - like 2 minutes faster. Everything loads a bit faster, but not by much. But I still can't get into my families! :(

It really depends. Many laptop manufactures solder the CPU (processor) right onto the motherboard, making it almost impossible to get off without breaking it. The best thing to do is some comparison shopping. Phone a computer guy and let him know what you've got, and ask if it's possible to upgrade your processor and what the cost will be. The sims really isn't a laptop friendly game. Most laptops have a integrated video chip, which is what you have. Yours will run the Sims with the integrated video you've got, but it's not ideal, and that's not something you can upgrade (I don't think).
Just on a lark, try going into Documents/EA Games and delete the following files: cigen.package, accessory.cache and group.cache. Sometimes these files can get corrupt over time and cause various problems with your game, not limited to the game opening slowly or not at all. Don't worry, the game will regenerate fresh, clean copies when you restart your game

When I bought this laptop they said that this kind of Toshiba ran good with the Sims 2 and what not. I looked at the customer reviews and random sites and they said that it was pretty Sims 2 friendly. Toshiba Satelitte M305-S4848. This kind of stuff happened on my destop also. Really, Sims 2 has been working much better on my laptop. But there's that whole families thing! I should call though. I might tomorrow.
And nope. I did that and it still isn't working! I cannot get my families open at all. Everything's loading quick and whatnot, but my families simply will not load. Any more ideas? Thank you for the ones you've mentioned already!

No problem. I'm happy to help. Is it just one family or any family? Oh, one more question. Is your game patched?
