Sims 2 and Windows 7
Vermilion:
I'm using "a" Windows Vista. I was complaining more about the computer's specs than the OS itself, and that wasn't even the main point of my post. Frankly, I'd rather you'd threadshit somewhere else. Retardo Land would be a good place for you.

ETA: It turns out that after I cut my Downloads folder from 160 MB to 35 MB, the game ran fairly well and stopped crashing constantly, so know I wish to ARR a stuff pack. I'm trying to download uTorrent on my XP, but the Hotbar engine that allows access to the site is not installing correctly. Do I need to have uTorrent and Daemon Tools on the same computer on which I plan to install the stuff pack, or can I install them on a different computer? Also, do uTorrent and Daemon Tools have to be on the same computer as each other?
160MB is just about nothing for a downloads folder, so it's odd to me the crashing would go away unless you're really low on hard drive space. Huh.
You need Daemon Tools on the same computer you want to install the stuff pack on, otherwise you're not going to be able to do much with that ISO. Daemon Tools creates a virtual CD drive for the disc image to run on.
You shouldn't need to install anything to access the site, IME! Make sure you're getting the program directly from utorrent.com. Nothing else should need to install, because it's a teeny tiny program that you can pretty much stick into a folder and run; installation is very, very minimal.
Vermilion:
Well, perhaps it's because I have only 768 MB of RAM. I had also regenerated the Sims 2 folder in My Docs, if that's relevant. In any case, I have installed uTorrent on my XP (you're right, it IS tiny) and am about to install Daemon Tools. Will the "lite" version be sufficient? All the other versions are trial versions.

The lack of RAM might do it, although I once had nearly 2GB of downloads on a machine that only had 512 MB of RAM which had to share that with video -- ran like crap, but it didn't crash. I suppose it depnds on what other stuff that computer has going on in the background. However, regenerating your Sims 2 folder may be a little more likely -- corrupt downloads, neighborhoods, or caches can cause the game to crash.
And yes, the lite version is exactly what you want. Sorry, I should have specified!
Vermilion:
All right, now I've downloaded the torrent and installed the MDF file included in the torrent. What do I do with the MDS file?
