I uninstalled The Sims 2 off my computer specifically so I wouldn't have this problem!
My game is barely crawling along, and I barely have any programs on my computer. Also, the graphics ****. It's all blurry and blocky. "No loading times"? HAH. Everything I try to do takes forever. Any advice? I can't enjoy the game!!!

My sims 2 used to be really laggy a lot of the time, but my Sims 3 runs so smooth and quick.
I dont know how to fix the problem, but I wish you all good luck.
I've been playing the game on and off for about 5 hours...didn't get to go through a whole Sim day yet.
(mind you, that may have to do a little with me reading the directions, uninstalling Sims 2 but you get what I mean.)
Sims 3 is a much different beast than Sims 2. In Sims 3, every single Sim in the entire neighborhood is being dealt with by the game's AI (aging, going to work, school, etc). Basically, your computer is "running" this whole city in real-time. It's a much more demanding game because of it.
In the Sims 2, the only thing being rendered and computed was your own home most of the time.
I took off tons of crap from my computer, defragged, compressed, cleaned up, and recycled binned the hell out of stuff. I install and it barely works. Just lag after lag after lag DX and I still have 65% memory left so it can't be that, and my thing is up to date with all system requirements and it's XP as well.
@tastethecourage: No, cause mine lags even jsut in CAS when I wanted to make a character. D:It took like 2-3 minutes just for one change or a button click to do anything. and all my graphic settings I put on low, just so I could see if that helped. It did nothing to help :c
slow down there haus.... this is a sims forum... you are talking to middle aged women... fps... firewall... cpu.... their heads might fall off
put it simply. you got too much stuff going, turn off stuff.
Uninstalling programs does not affect how well you can run a game.
It sounds more like your computer does not meet the minimum requirements, regardless of how well Sims 2 ran.
I've been told TS3 is the most powerful game on the market at the moment. (N)
