Okay, Anyone Doing the Sims/Vista Rhumba?
Assmitten:
As I type, I have a spanky-new computer shipping to my house that has (alas?) Vista installed. (Dun dun DUNNN.)
SO. Has anyone actually played Sims with Vista? It is the tits or the shit? Or has everyone been scared off by Senor Pescado's giant flashing warning signs? If I add Seasonings two weeks after my pimped out machine arrives, will it be all BBQapocalypse?
SaraMK:
The Sims 2 is not totally compatible with Vista, from what I understand.

I hope none of this turns out to be an issue for you.

Vista is *BAD*. Nuke it and reinstall XP. Who the hell leaves all the factory spyware installed anyway? ALWAYS REFORMAT THE NEW COMPUTER!
More Awesome Than You will not support Vista at this time. Perhaps when it has been properly hacked.

Anyway, there's a lot of bullshit out there about Vista such as Pescado's comments about Vista invalidating your XP CD key. Additionally, some People say is that a lot of stuff doesn't run on Vista but the reality is that about as much stuff is incompatible now as it was when people upgraded from 98 to XP.
TS2 isn't one of them, but there will be a negligible performance decrease like 5% since you're running it on Vista. Still, you probably will just notice a speed increase just because your new computer is probably faster. Games and applications that use OpenGL have about 50% of their previous performance due to the fact the drivers aren't built into the kernel anymore.

I just got my new PC with Vista today and I have not had a problem with any of the games I play yet (knock on wood). The only problem I ran into was with my ASUS motherboard's Realtek sound. The ASUS site already has a fix ready to download for Realtek/Vista and viola my speakers worked just fine after that.
My husband also got a new PC with Vista and he had some problem with his LCD monitor (I refuse to leave my CRT yet) as well as the same sound problem.
So far so good but keeping my fingers crossed on my new Nvidia card.
