Hey guys, I recently brought The Sims 2 Double Deluxe for PC and I have encountered a problem. I have searched up everywhere for solutions and the solutions I have found did not work what so ever. I have a Laptop; Vista with 250GB HHD, 2GB DDR2, 2.0GHz and it has a Intel Core Duo Processor. My game continues to freeze in the middle of my playing. When I make my own sims it might freeze half way through creation or when I have finished with my family it will freeze in the loading screen to choose a house for them to live in. There have been times when i can make the people and have selected a house, but when I save and leave the house/neighborhood/quit the game, then return to the house, it will freeze as soon as entered. All you can see in it is a black screen with the information bar with there wants. The mouse is frozen on the choosing what the sim can do mouse. I have norton and I can completely removed it from my system, as I had read it makes sims freeze. I also read on one of the websites to go into task manager when the game just starts and to go to the sims process, then set affinity, then un-tick the CPU 1. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it many times. I have put onto two other computer and it worked fine, so I know its not the disc. I have left the computer to cool and then re-tried it but that also failed. I can only play as the sims who are already there, but even with that it freezes after a while. My computer mets the needs of the game, I really don't know what is doing this.
Please help my computer and I!!!! I am at my wits end, I am a big fan of sims and as soon as I got this game I was excited to play, but since this freezing I haven't been able to do so.
Please help!
Sincerely
Kate
