Change active household during vacation
gilmar:
Yes I've just formatted and have installed all the necessary programs. To be honest my comp has been in the hospital quite a number of times and I'm just happy at the moment it's up and running.
Naiad:
Ok, now for some numbers, because I've restarted TS3, with a 200mb save, antivirus and firefox running, task manager says my PC is using 2,8gb of RAM. I'm running Windows 7, and the difference between that and XP in TS3 minimum requirements is 500mb of RAM if I remember correctly, so this would probably translate into your PC using about 1,9-2gb of RAM if you shut down your antivirus/browser. But, given that you're running the SPs too, and a somewhat larger save, I think we can safely say you need extra RAM, and probably 64bit also.
Here, closing firefox => 250mb of RAM no longer being used, just tried.
gilmar:
Okay. I'll consider a 64 bit OS if my computer can handle it in the future and probably add more RAM too. I did shut down my AntiVirus but that too did not work. The twinbrook Sim went to the same vacation place as my main Sim and did fine. The game was smoother and I managed to save. I still could save my main game in the vacation hood itself but unfortunately when I get home, i get the error. Maybe for the time being I'll back up my main save for the future. I still love that neighbourhood.
edit : I changed my save location but that didn't work. I might try to make my neighbourhood smaller for a shot or play in a windowed frame.
Naiad:
Yes, do try that. And, did you try decrapifying?
gilmar:
No I didn't decrapify. I was reading the forum and I don't really understand how to do it. I might give it a try if I can later.
Edit : I decided not to decrapify as I'm not sure how to do it and I don't want to risk anything. I guess I'll back up that save in a cd for the future. I've decided to start up a new neighbourhood.
@ Naiad, Jeebus, Pescado, floopyboo - Thanks :)
