Create a Family is fucked

(1/2) > >>

A couple days ago I decided to reinstall TS2 + all EPs/SPs. Since then I have been frantically trying to actually play the game, only to encounter shittiness. First of all, I tried to create a sim and upon clicking "accept family" it became unresponsive, forever. I tried a couple more times and the same thing happened. At this time I had a bunch of mods (only awesome ones) and some other, presumably benign CC in my game. I had also started out with empty neighborhood templates right from the beginning, before starting the game, so I figured I probably screwed up somewhere and decided to uninstall/reinstall everything and start clean this time.

The only modification I made to this fresh installation was to delete the annoying intro movies. There is no CC this time. Whenever I try to make a female sim, it stalls on the first option I click (which has been a hair, both times this happened). I tried to make a male sim and all the options work without lag, but it stalled on accepting the sim. Also Pleasantview is missing.

My computer's specs aren't that great, and it probably barely runs TS2, so that's my best guess at what's happening. But I've played TS2 on this computer many times before with absolutely no problems and not much lag, and even on a significantly worse computer. So, I have no idea what I did wrong this time.

Wnat ARE your specs?

My computer's a Gateway laptop that's about 4 years old, Windows Vista, 1.83 GHz processor, 3 GB RAM, shitty Intel integrated graphics card that came with the laptop, ~200 GB of HD space.

Yeah, this has nothing to do with CAS being fucked up.  It's your computer.  With those specs, the mystery isn't why you're having trouble now, but why you were able to play on that machine in the past. 

PA:
A still-missing Pleasantview points to a less-than-adequate reinstall.
