Last night I was trying to clean up my hardrive so I could install Civilization 4 for my son.. Somehow I apparently had 2 copies of The Sims 2 on 2 different drives on my computer and I deleted the wrong one!!

After my son went to bed I went to play and when I clicked on my AL icon I got a message that The Sims 2 was required and to install it.. I got my disks out and installed The Sims 2 base game again.. The game loaded fine after that however when I entered the hood I had been playing the ground and everything except the lots were all flashing.. I entered into a lot and had nothing flashing but it was ungodly laggy to the point I could not even move at all.. I could not alt tab and ended up having to shut my computer down..

Any suggestions? Do I need to just scrap everything and reinstall? I have The Sims 2 with all expansions and all stuff packs except for the Mansion one..

I can not wait to get my new computer cause I think this one hates me LOL.

Thanks,

After the first of the year hubby is building me a new computer.. Right now I have over 15000 files in my downloads directory and it takes about 20 minutes for the game to load when I start it LOL.. I also run slow on some lots and have a LOT of lag when building large houses.

I would like some suggestions from other who have a similar amount of content installed on their system specs and how well their games run. I can not say no to downloads LOL. Its very addictive!!!

Currently my system setup is:
