Can I sims on a Netbook?
antechinus:
I am going on holidays, and am afraid I will suffer sims withdrawal. Can I run sims on a MSI Wind U100 netbook?
Specs are:
Intel Atom N270 1.6 Ghz processor,
1 Gb RAM
Motherboard 945GME
Integrated graphics Intel GMA950
Win XP

No. I see no graphics card. And your CPU is inadequate. No Sims for you.

You MIGHT be able to get basegame to run. Maybe. Possibly. But if so, it would be with yucky yucky appearance.
spaceface:
I agree about trying with only the Base Game, and you will probably get jagged object outlines and those spade-like hands. Avoid placing any showers and fountains, water effects will slow the game down a lot. Your game will choose the lowest graphics settings, don't try to change them. Also, use task manager every time you play, to turn off all unnecessary applications running on your machine.
You could do what I did and try one of the Stories games, at least with Life Stories and Pet Stories you can create your own lots and sims and play normally once you have run through the "story" part. (Don't try Castaway Stories because sadly you can't place lots.) They are lower-spec games designed for laptops. If your graphics card isn't up to much you will still get red walls and flashing ponds though. Stories did keep my addiction satisfied when I was on a 2-week vacation once. I used cheats to add 2 families together so that I could do an Asylum Challenge, it worked fine.

It would be like enjoying a nice cup of burned peas when you need coffee.
Sometimes withdrawal is easier to deal with.
