Should Sims2 be lagging with my spec's?

(1/2) > >>

exportdry:
My sims2 game lags bad at the start then goes fine with little slow downs here and there.
I have all 4 EP's
Graphic detail on nearly everything is set to medium.
defragged the hard drive etc...
My drivers are all up to date and it still lags.

Here's my specs:
P4 2.4Ghz 533FSB CPU
Gigabyte nVidia 7600GS 256mb 128bit AGP 8x
1GB PC3200 and 2x 256 PC2700 RAM (1.5GB)
Asus P4P800 SE Motherboard
160GB WD SATA
80GB WD PATA


Does anyone know where the problem lies?

Please help.

oph3lia:
How much custom content have you got?

exportdry:
I have a fiar bit of custom content.
Couldn't say how much I have.

BeosBoxBoy:
exportdry - you would probably benefit from increasing your RAM to 2 GB of 3200 DDR

But without knowing what sort of additional software is in the background, I can only give a vague answer of "it stands to reason"

ancienthighway:
With a lot of custom content, loading time for the game will be slow no matter what your system looks like.  128kb video and 1.4gb RAM should give you pretty decent performance one the game is loaded, but if you can bump up the RAM as BBB suggests.
