okay... make sure on the hard drive that you installed the game (game's directory) have 1 - 2 gb free space, and dont forget to update your graphic card from here http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp

And one more thing, set all the settings (graphics, screen resolution) to minimum.

 

how do i know which options to choose

 

i found it its cos it said geforce and n force sorry

 

hi tryed installing the new drivers but it made no difference
have you any other ideas thnx

 

you should have 1 - 2 GB free space on your game directory hard drive.

Don't [bold]forget[/bold] to reboot your pc after updating your graphic card

AND try to find the settings in your game GO search for options or games and set graphical settings to minimum! such as screen resolution 800X600 shadows = 0, reflexions = 0...

 

i think its working now its just the game resolution that i changed and they work but i dont understand why it would make a difference in sims because the sims 2 by itself was working fine but when i installed night life the normal sims 2 part of the game was fine but it was when i went downtown was the problem but it works now so thanks for your help
