What is the best way to make this game go faster and stop lagging?

Question

I love to play Sims 2 along with ALL of it's expansion packs. But my computer can't really handle all of the space and memory that it uses so the game goes really, really slow and I had to uninstall some of the expansion packs because it made my computer so slow. What should I do to make the game not lag and what should I do to my computer to where I can play and add all the expansion packs of Sims 2?

My computer info:

RAM: 512MB

CPU: 1500MHz

Total Memory: 32 GB

Answer 1

Depends. Your video card, cpu, ram each contribute to the "speed" of you computer. I'd suggest upgrading whichever is the *most* out of date. If you could give me more information about your video card, the speed of your cpu, and the amount of ram you have, I could tell you which would give you the biggest boost in performance.

Edit: Sorry it took so long for me to check back with you. Is that last number your video card memory? If it is, than that is the one in the most dire need of an upgrade, and therefore the one that will give you the biggest performance boost. In terms of games, anyway. Unfortunately, we're not quite done, yet. Now we need to determine what sort of video card your motherboard can support. This is, of course, assuming you feel comfortable installing it yourself, or no someone who does. If you don't, you'll just want to take it to a computer repair place near you and tell them you want a new video card. They will, of course, want you to upgrade everything, just like an auto mechanic will want you to replace anything that may go wrong with your car at anytime in the future. Don't let them pressure you, spend only what you're willing to spend. A new video card should be plenty enough for you, unless you're a hard-core gamer like me, and you don't strike me as that type. Anyway, that's my advice for dealing with computer parts retailers, but assuming you're comfortable installing it yourself, or having a friend you have confidence in, doing it, you'll want to download this program: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download181.html, run it, and tell me exactly what it says under the heading of: motherboard -> motherboard name. That will tell me the make and model of your motherboard and let me look up what sort of video card it can support, without having to replace anything else. We are talking about spending money, here, of course. Around $40-$50 here, if my thinking is right.

you're able to be sure you're actually not downloading any element else in the historic past, while you're then end the acquire or wait until finally its finished, because of the fact the time it takes on your computing gadget to deliver applications to the server then there isen't very much you're able to do on your area, different than for save each thing sparkling and speedy via not making use of maximum of your laptop aspects on different applications. you need to continuously be optimistic you you a cat 5 cable as a replace of instantaneous (Ethernet cable) and in case you do use instantaneous then be optimistic you have a password and save your archives encrypted although under pressure connections are swifter. you additionally can replace your ISP equipment to a extra swifter one if that's a threat on your section. I in basic terms observed the element approximately changing your filter out and that jogged my memory, in case you utilize a prior BT connection field that's the place your filter out plugs into is previous then it may stay have the previous "metallic coils" the metallic coils the place there for previous telephones which used a "ring ring" although that's not ineffective and in basic terms slows your information superhighway down. you need to objective and ask BT to be certain in the event that they could in high quality condition you a sparkling "Open attain" field if not you need to purchase a sparkling section which will replace this.

upgrade ur RAM.... 1GB of RAM is good enough for Sims.... it should cost around $50-100... it always comes in pairs... so buy the 512MB pair.... it will help so much for gaming.... i bought the 2GB of RAM and it boosted my computer games, made it faster, no lagging, so awesome.....

installing it is so easy... i knew nothing about computers and was able to install it... buy the RAM... open ur Hard Drive... then u should see four slots... two already has ur stock RAM... (usually 256MB each) two should be empty... just insert it like how u would a with any appliance... simple...

start ur computer, and use it like normal.... no mumbo jumbo stuff.... play ur Sims and see how much its improved..
