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,

hmmm lets see...

1. Almost all the fights and romance break ups in my hoods are at my direction lol
2. Ive killed off more then a few Sims that annoyed me!
3. I had one Sim move in with another Sim she was in love with and then switched it and she woohoo and married the roommate instead. Was rather interesting seeing the outcome of that one!!
4. I can not stand whineing Sims and I normally make their lives worse for whineing about it!!
5. I currently have 1 household where the main Sims seems to enjoy Whohoo's and having babies with anyone who comes ti visit.. Needless to say she has quite a few enemies atm lol

Iam however nice to all my children Sims. They are well cared for and protected from their crazy parents! But when they grow up they are on their own!

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:
