This user has the following games installed:

Sims 3, World Adventures, Ambitions, Late Night, Generations, Pets, Seasons, University Life
Default All the above with problems
OK my TS3 game keeps crashing and freezing. It lags and it has some glitches. I unistalled all mods and it was running a little smother but still freezing and lagging. I couldn't even create a person because every time I tried the game would freeze before I could finish so I just quickly made a person who I am not all the way in love with but she is ok. Anyways before I go off the deep end. I was going to do a reset on my PC and try and install the game but as I was researching I was seeing that maybe my PC is not built for TS# game play and maybe I should try to put it on my labtop. Here are the specs. I am guessing the Intel Pentium is not going to be able to handle it but will my Toshibia with the I3 core processor be better?

Honestly, it's... everything about that system (processor, RAM, and graphics are all low-powered), which can't handle the game, but the Intel HD graphics chip is likely the worst part. I wouldn't try to play TS3 on that system again.

What's the specs on the Toshiba laptop?

I haven't used it in so long that I can't remember the password. I am going to see if I can access it on the guest side and post it. Thanks a lot for the response I was spending twenty minutes trying to get on my laptop. The screen on laptop is kinda small and dull I may hook it up to my tv to play will that matter?

If you can get the correct information for these items (I'm just copypasting from your above one so it's got your other specs in) then that will be sufficient:

Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1 (7601.win7sp1_gdr.140303-2144)
Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU G645 @ 2.90GHz (2 CPUs), ~2.9GHz

Sorry I hope someone can still help. I had to go to work plus figure out how to crack my password and I can't believe I did it!!!


I am running the program now will copy and paste. I can already tell the difference in the speed of this computer even though I haven't played in awhile. I hope I can get at least better game play out of it.

It's a little late to respond to this, but I honestly don't think your laptop will manage it either.

Intel graphics cards aren't really the best, and it looks like you have just the bare minimum RAM for running the Sims. While you can get more RAM for your laptop, it's not really feasible to upgrade the graphics card-- on laptops, they're typically much harder to remove (if they can be at all) than PCs and require a professional to handle. At that point, you my as well just be buying a new laptop.

An easy way to do it is to look it up on canirunit.
