unawesome noob politely requests advice concerning bv graphics compatability
kewian:
Kewians DO NOT support NOR do we recommend intel integrated shit cards... NViDIA is what you want 6150 le should be affordable and can handle all the nice things just fine. Remember NEVER trust PESCADO brand as its full of preservatives and KILLS the environment. :P
Jelenedra:
The Sims takes massive dumps on Nvidia cards, why would you want to mess with that? :-\
kewian:
I have never seen a massive dump so I have no idea. I heard ATI bite too.
Jelenedra:
It's the Nvidia cards that EAxis seems to forget exist and write up code that bugs the drivers out. ATIs never seem to have a problem with the Sims.

As a general rule, laptops aren't built to be gaming PCs. If you are buying one to be one, you are going to have to upgrade approximately every 2 years and it gets horribly expensive. It took me a long time to come to terms with that myself. Get desktop unit. A huge upgrade on a desktop will only run you $400ish as opposed to a laptop's $2000+ for a decent unit. If you truly can't afford it now (isn't that what tax refunds are for?) then you may have to live without BV until you can.
I know, life sucks. I waited 18 months to have a unit that would play Uru, and then the damned thing gave me motion sickness.
As much as it's a money issue, it's an I-am-21-I-don't-have-a-permanent-residence issue. I go to school far from home (sometimes, like last semester, a continent away from home) and my family lives all over and I like to visit them. The portability is literally a necessity. Plus then I get to play with my simmies during all the airport delays I experience moving from place to place (four hours at Newark on Tuesday, I built a new house and fooled around with the playable school). A new computer is definitely on the horizon, though, and graduation should be about the same time I am ready for TS3...
