The Sims 3: What should I DO???
LVishere:
I don't know why your Sims 3 is lagging. My Sims 2 game lag a bit at certain times since I've installed 3 but 3 is not good enough to uninstall 2.

Okay. But according to Wednesday17, there isnt even a need to uninstall anything. The sims 3 will work fine with or without the sims 2 installed on the same drive? See, I have a plugin- a personal media drive for my computer in which I store MY things. Its memory isnt really shared with the computer itself. It has about 300 GB of space. And it currently still has about 240 GB of space meaning everything should be working fine right?
You have lots of space on your hard drive. There's no need to delete / uninstall anything on your computer, and doing that wont make it work better.
I believe that EA lied about the minimum requirements to get more people to buy the game. You might need to upgrade some things on your computer to make it work better.

Mh... what do you mean by plugin drive? Is it a USB hd or eSATA or what kind of drive (I'm not aware what kinds of devices there are available in your part of the world)?
Because if you install a game on an external drive, it might be that the data transfer speed is too slow and hence the game lags.
Another thing: are all your drivers up to date? A dated graphics driver can make a world of difference.

I am in 100% agreement with Wednesday17. I updated my video card drivers the other night, and my game is running quite well (I mean I'm not going to get all over myself about it, because I am aware I need RAM but..) My game wouldn't even play, before I updated my VC drivers, my sim would just stand there for hours and not move, and the time would freeze and jitter, but after I updated my drivers, I can actually play the game now. What kind of graphics card do you have? NVIDIA, ATI, Radieon etc? A trip to the GC site and a driver update might be your best bet. It's not just you thats running slowly, with maxed requirements. You should see the firestorm over at the OS of users having problems, I just think EA are morons and borked the game with poor coding, hence why alot of peoples' computers dislike the game. :mad:

Haha, excuse me for having to laugh out loud for you stating that fact in all earnesty as if it was a whole new concept. 2laugh
You just made my day. :)
Sims code has always been poorly coded (why do we have so many hacks and fixes?) and every serious programmer cries out and does this: 2DOH when confronted with Sims code, lol. Or at least every programmer I know personally.
But enough with the off topic, sorry. Going to repent now.
