http://thesims2.ea.com/update/ (http://thesims2.ea.com/update/) Not sure if its necesarry but cant hurt if you do. Deluxe is sims2 with Nighlife eh? So i think you need the NL patch then. And reinstall direct x 9.0 C Title: Help Sims 2 Deluxe Post by: KacoshiAjewl on March 28, 2008, 01:04:19 pm Ya i think I will probubly have to work on it when i see her next never thought bout the drivers she tried a reinstall and now she cant use CAS ><

thats what i needed for laptop and its only 2 years old. Title: Help Sims 2 Deluxe Post by: Theraven on March 31, 2008, 03:05:39 pm what do you mean by "3 gig laptop"? if you mean that there's 3 gigabyte left on the harddrive, then that's probably the problem - mainly too little space to run the game.
the loading screen can take ages. especially with a big house or a big family (or a combination) - or with lots of CC. it once took me around half an hour, or even more (might've been an hour or so...) to load the family/house. |
