Can i play sims 2 on vista?

Is there a version of Sims 2 that works with Vista? I fell in love with the game and bought it immediately for our home computer, but now I have my own laptop with Vista (stupid upgrades) and can't play the stupid game! Something about a graphics card?...

Anyway, anyone know if there is a version that is Vista-liking??

Aha, more Vista troubles...

Sims 2 will work on Vista, so long as your computer meets the Vista requirements and has a suitable graphics card to run the Sims 2 on it. Because most latop's that have come out since Vista's release have had integrated graphics rather than a separate graphics card, often they struggle to run Vista's graphics requirements let alone another games - any laptop running Vista Home Basic generally barely meets Vista's requirements. And Vista seems to want some pretty grunty graphics cards for things - but doesn't support all of those that are out there!

So, unfortunately this isn't good new for you playing it on your laptop - with laptop's, you can't upgrade the graphics card (or put one in if it uses integrated). Its possible Sims 2 would work on your laptop if it was bumped down to Windows XP, but I doubt whether your laptop will ever be able to play Sims 2 while it has Vista

Thanks...not exactly good news, but I don't understand all of that computer stuff beyond Internet and games, so I was jsut wondering if changing was a possibility. Guess not...*sigh*. Oh well, thanks anyway.

Actually, after I had all the problems, yesterday I just put the game in to try, and...it WORKED! Magic! I don't understand why, but, whatever, magic is magic. So this queston is pretty much done.

yeah I tried uploading it it, it seems to load on vista, then jams up. Only every so often (actually very rarely) can it play without problems. So annoying. Just want to play it again
