I have a good laptop but Sims 3 work very slow - Help! I don't know why :(

Hi guys!

I have Dell XPS:
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2620M CPU @ 2.70GHz
CPU Speed: 2.7 GHz Performance Rated at: 7.83 GHz
RAM: 8.0 GB
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Edition Service Pack 1 (build 7601), 64-bit
Video Card: GeForce GT 525M, Video RAM 4.0 GB and Pixel Shader version 5.0
And of course i have free disc space :)

I tried reinstalling the game and playing without the downloads and all the expansion packs (i have all of them) but it DOESN'T HELP!
The game works damn slowly, it loads like 30 min (or sometimes 40), i can't go on like that ;(

My PC has 2 graphic/video cards but in options i set that sims 3 should be played with the nvidia geforce, not intel hd (or sth like that, which i have).


Sorry for my english if somewhere it's incorrect but english isn't my native language :)



Any ideas...? Please, please - help.


Sylvia.

If I understand you correctly, you're playing with the base game only, and NO expansion packs? And you're getting a 40min load time? Is that right?

What version is your game? Are you on the latest patch (1.29)?
