Okay. But according to Wednesday17, there isnt even a need to uninstall anything. The sims 3 will work fine with or without the sims 2 installed on the same drive? See, I have a plugin- a personal media drive for my computer in which I store MY things. Its memory isnt really shared with the computer itself. It has about 300 GB of space. And it currently still has about 240 GB of space meaning everything should be working fine right?
You have lots of space on your hard drive. There's no need to delete / uninstall anything on your computer, and doing that wont make it work better.
I believe that EA lied about the minimum requirements to get more people to buy the game. You might need to upgrade some things on your computer to make it work better.
