Rue, Do you have the disk with the driver that shipped with your graphics card? If you do I would try that driver to see what happens. Just my opinion.

That´s what I had from the beginning, though, and the game first froze in the neighbourhood 3 days after buying the pc. :sad4:
Also, about 4x, it even happened that the pc restarted itself in the neighbourhood view.

Rue, according to Nvidia site driver 93.71 is the latest available for your card. Which driver are you currently using?
Most of the driver problems are when people update to the latest release. The driver that ships with a card is usually very stable, if nothing else. If you are running a fairly old driver you may actually need a more recent release. My Fx5500 uses the same driver as yours. The last driver I updated to was back about 89.xx, which was not good at all for my card. I rolled it back to (I think) 77.71. I could be wrong because my desktop is unhooked at the moment, and in fact I haven't used it in a couple of months since going to use of my notebook full time. I am going to start using my desktop for making custom content after I get a bit better at it. I do not want too much on my notebooks drive.
After reading your last reply it sounds like you have never updated your drivers. This may be the best place to start, then go from there depending on the outcome. Of your 1 Gb of ram, how much is free for game play? The 1 Gb mark on my Desktop, yeilded about 750 Mb free for playing the sims 2. I had to restart about every two hours or my game would run at a crawl. I have not had this issue with the Notebooks 2 Gb's of ram, with about 1.5 Gb available for game play.

Can anyone explain do me, why do things like this keep happening in my game?
Hmm... it's only ever been really, really slow for me. That looks like a crappy picture of the inside of your computer... look at the big box things... they look like computer chips.

I was seeing on a different game forum that the 6600 series has problems depending on the driver - so I think perhaps the advice to "downgrade" the driver may be good advice here.
