This is probably a stupid question, but I was wondering if there was a way to play sims on a smaller window instead of full screen? It takes too long for our computer to process going in between. I have a PC. Thanks!

You can play in windowed mode.

Right-click on the icon you use to play and choose Properties.

At the end of the address shown in the Properties data, after the .exe extension, add a space and then a hyphen and w. The end of the address will then look like this:

.exe" -w

Click OK.

The game will thenceforth open in windowed mode.
