Sims 2 graphics
hey i recently got the sims 2 for my pc, it works fine but everytime i move around the Neibourhood or My houses the Music and the sound crackles in the background. i have tried everything and about to get really annoyed if it doesn't work, help me please.
my system is: P4 2.8GHZ 1.5 GB RAM DDR Nvidia Geforce Fx 5500 Windows Vista Home Premium |
That hardware isn't really good...
It's a P4, even if it's one of the fastest P4, it's still a P4. DDR RAM... The GPU is entry-level... And it's running Vista. I do not know how much resource hungry sims 2 is, but meh. |
Turn down your graphical settings. On a system like yours, with Vista installed, The Sims 2 barely gets 512 MB of RAM to work with. The fact that it's a Pentium 4 doesn't matter, since The Sims 2 may not be able to use multiple processor cores anyway.
And the GPU won't matter as much because it's a six year old game. |
Your hardware is pretty weak for a gaming machine. Knowing this trend I suggest you check for game updates / patches for both the game and your Operating System. After that try screwing around with the audio settings in the game.

as i said the graphics don't matter, when i don't move the sound is fine but when i move around or add something the sound slows down and crackles. maby it is a glitch or something
|
Patch it up like Yellow said. It shouldn't be that hard to find the patch, since I know that the official site was still up and active in early June, and the official site for the original The Sims is also still fully operational.

alright i forgot to tell you it is Sims 2 Double Deluxe, i am trying to find the patche for it, but i am finding out that vista hates my Graphics card for some reason, read.

Well, that'd be the manufacturers fault. Look into getting a video card that's supported by Vista and fits into the same slot. Or even just look at getting a brand new computer.

So much for graphics not being a problem >.>...

Go there scan the game. And check the specs you need and update it. |
