Go to http://systemrequirementslab.com and check for SIMS 2 whether your PC is able to run it.

Then, do the following things patiently:

1. Run Disk clean-up. Then delete unused files. (start>program>accessories>sys... tools> disk clean-up)
2. Check for disk errors. (right click on a disk-drive>properties>tools >error checking)
3. Run disk defragmenter.
4. Delete cookies. (you can do it from your browser options: tools>internet options)
5. Delete cache or temporary files. (you can do it from your browser options) or, click on 'start", 'run', type 'temp' then click ok. Whatever shows up, just delete.

Answer 2

Ram a chip like object that you add to your computer to make it go faster and that is what you need to make your game go faster.
Anybody can put ram in their computer. You do need to know what sort of ram you need. I suggest you take a look at the link so you know what you are looking for, then take the back off your computer after you shut it down and unplug it. Find the ram take it out of the computer then go buy more using the other one as a sample of what type you need. When you get home the new ram you just bought put it in the slot that you took the other one out of and put the old one is the slot next to it. Put the back on , plug in the computer and enjoy your game.

Answer 3

its very hard to give advice with out knowing the spec of your computer.

first try shutting down all unnecessary programs that are running in the back ground and see if it runs better.
My Sims 2 speed greatly increased when i upgraded my graphics card. you could try doing that.
