Why does it take sims 2 forever to load?

It takes like 10 minutes for Sims 2 to load on my computer and sometimes it freezes but mostly its just really really slow loading everything evertime I want to create a new person or enter a neighborhood or even switch from building to buying stuff. ...

Is there any kind of computer chip or something I could install on my computer to speed things up?

maby you have too much downloaded on your computer.

well you probably need more memory. Sims is a large game. check to make sure you have the system requirements that it asks for from the box. more memory is always better. a faster CPU helps too. If the computer is running slow in general try doing a Disk cleanup and disk defragmenter. If you have an older computer you definatly need to do those.

you should delete some of the stuff on your hardrive

just deleting stuff isnt going to help that much, if at all. you need to defrag it. it is not hard, and ya the first tim its ran it will take a while

Yeah, it sounds like you will need to defrag your hard drive. Check for errors on it too. (can be done in drive properties, also) Do disk cleanup, and delete anything you dont need on your computer. Check your paging file size, or buy more RAM. Before you start the sims, press Alt+Ctrl+Del and bring up task manager. Stop any processes that you don't need. (If you don't already do this, it should help a lot, but you have to do it each time you start the game) DONT stop ANY programs that you are unsure of what they are. Only stop processes that are under your user name. (IMPORTANT!) I think there is a page in the back of the booklet that comes with the game that tells you which processes you can stop.

Other than that, to keep your computer running at its best, make sure you're spyware and adware free. These bugs can really slow down your game. Spybot Search and Destroy is a great and totally free spyware eliminator that you can download. Ad Aware Personal SE by Lavasoft is awesome for adware. It will get rid of all those nasty cookies that can spy on your computer. Also, I heard that AVG Anti-virus (also free) is a great program, but I have not tried it out yet.

As long as your computer meets the minimum requirements of the game, you should be set. If not, no amount of tweaking, cleaning, or voodoo will help the game to run satisfactorily.

Nice way to try to sell something to someone with out answering a single thing about a single problem.
Defrag / increasing memory / those are all covered in almost everysite. . Nice sales pitch Not
The game is slowed from the amount of downloads. In your downloads folder if you clear it out not only will it speed your game up but all the custom content will be gone as well. You can try using a package manager to combine same style items into a package thus decreasing the number of files it has to look thru.
