What Kind of Computer you run sims2 on?
sesimie:
Hello all :hello2:
I've been wondering for some time what kinds of Computer systems you folks use to run Sims2.
Why? well I've noticed that meshes can affect a computers performance especially when lotsa polygons are used!! :h3lp:
So kindly Creators tend to be "user friendly" and keep polygons lower than they can possibly be. This is to be commended. But Having seen (& sold) computers for the last 5 years I'm thinking that the specifications on Today's PC/Macs are sufficient to tackle most if not all the wondrous meshes that are out there.... ( i could be wrong):tongue6:
I want Creators to use more polygons.....so I'll simply ask all who read kindly post your computer specs. Mine are like this.
approx. Age of system = 4 years
CPU speed = 1.8Ghz
amount of memory = 1 Gb
Video card = 6800 (nvidia)
able to play sims2 with all my excellent custom content enabled = Yes....no problem game loads longer than it used to.
For folks who don't know how to find out CPU speed or type of video card simply go to your control panel/settings panel and look for system, also device manager. or use belarc advisor ( free PC audit tool)
Sorry it's been years since i've used a Mac.....
I hope Meshers/creators can gauge from this when releasing their wondrous creations. keep on meshing!! :salute:

I got pretty much the same as you, this is my third PC I built.
System age = 1.5 years
CPU speed = 2.2 Ghz
amount of memory = 1 Gb
Video card = 6600 (nvidia)
Saving up some money to build my fourth PC :P
Love to get a Mac, but they are over priced and there aren't much software available.

I play on a laptop. It actually plays the game well I think. My desktop computer has too little RAM to handle the game
System age: 1.5 years
CPU speed: 1.66 Ghz
Amount of memory: 512 MB
Video card: Integrated graphics with laptop.
I can play with all my custom content, as long as I keep on a medium size lot and watch the amount of polygons in furniture.

I have no problem playing it with my PC, but sometime it lags a bit, especially when scrolling. I don't know whether it is do with the custom contents (mesh) or it is just my PC. But it is tolerable..
