Isn't it fun spending all this money to upgrade our computers to play this game? I actually bought a new laptop just for this purpose.
You are right, Brynne!!! it's outrageous! I already spent more than 1000$ to be able to play it smoothly. I am finished with EA - not Black, not White, nor a new EP...:).
I have more than 300 games, and this is the first time I am "raped" to add components to my computer. All the other games run smoothly.
Did EA made a contract with the various companies, and receive percents for it?
Brynne:
Who knows? But it is pretty ridiculous how picky the graphics are. I'm guessing the average player probably has to deal with the game at much lower settings than maxis intended. My laptop is pretty good and has a great graphics card, but I have to run it with reflections off, and textures and lighting set to medium. This game is definitely much more than the 40 bucks initially spent. Well into the hundreds, I'd say, or nearly $2000, in my case. The sims (or the computer to play it on) is my Christmas present for the next 5 years, as well as anniversaries, birthdays...

You know one thing about reading TS2 boards is that it is very reassuring to find out I am not the only one who shelled out a fair amount of money for a new computer just so I could play a computer game. I bought a new computer back in February and I'm already thinking I may need to upgrade the RAM and processor; very discouraging considering that I'm still making payments on the bloody thing. The sad part is that if my son or daughter had ever approached me about buying a new computer so that they could play a game, I would have thought they were insane (and extremely spoiled).

I have always had to upgrade my computer to play games.
TS2 is not at all the only game to crave good specs.
I have been doing my upgrades in this manner since I was 14, which is more than half a lifetime ago for me. ;D
Back then we also had the opportunity of making specific bootdisks to cater to the demands of specific games.
Ahh...those were the days...

What's the specs of your PC Velax (CPU, graphics card, RAM mainly)? Maybe the lot size itself is a problem, combined with PC configuration. How big is it anyway? 5x5?
