Technical problems with THE HORROR: downloading, installing, and running it
TashaYarrr:
I think there are slightly newer ATI drivers but it's probably not going to make the difference.
Morriganrant, are you on XP or Vista? And ATI or NVIDIA? (I'm going to guess NVIDIA, because I've heard of other problems with their latest WHQLs?)
I'm on XP with an NVIDIA series 8 (8800 GTX OC), no crash to desktop yet but I haven't been playing that long.
(By the way, I'm not being an EAxis apologist or anything, I'm just a semi-retarded game tech support person in real life and I'm used to these kinds of problems often being on the user's end. But Gelina's dxdiag basically looked fine so my theory of people using older cards/ancient drivers is kind of shot anyway.)
jriggs:
I am no tech expert but I recently installed a game and it crashed everytime I tried to run it and after checking some help forums I found that since I was running a dual core processor I needed to get a dual core optimizer to get it to run. I googled it and found what they were talking about and it worked. I just noticed that Galina's processor is Dual core. What about the others that are having this problem?

I am running Xp, with 3gb of ram and an ATI HD 3870 card. Driver version 8.512.0.0. I can Pm you my Dxdiag if you would like. I didn't want to clutter up the thread.
Edit: Interestingly enough. I have a Duel Core, but I had crashing with the Sims2 when I would set it to only one core. Little problem with both.

Reloaded release installed, keygen'd, cracked exe performing as expected.
Ditto, less then 3 min after downloading it. I've read a few comments about people trying to go for the non-reloaded version and choosing a borked one because of it though.
That game btw, is running smoothly and I'm playing, surfing the net, and reading threads...so I'd say issues are probably computer related. TS2 is still installed and switching between them isn't an issue, either.

@ jriggs, in windows theres a process of making the game run on one processor instead of both. Tried finding the thread at INsim, but having a hard time. Once I ran the optimizer and changed the processor to one, Sims 2 ran perfect.
Got my game from Reloaded and followed the instructions, was up and running in a little bit. No crashes, problems installing, applying the no-cd crack. I have a slim form tower and only have Nvidia G-force 8600. I am upgrading to the 9800GT because it's the most powerful I can afford for my slim form factor CPU.
