Why does my sims3 play in stop and slow motion and drag?

When I turn on the game the intro runs at normal speed. When I run my game it stops, stalls and in general goes in very slow motion, I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalled. I turned all graphics etc. down as low as they will go but the results are the same. Plus I only have one city to play and can’t find out how to go directly to build mode.

Answer #1

if its sluggish your system cant handle it…

cpu isnt fast enough, memory isnt fast enough or you dont have enough of it… take your pick ;)

as the game loads im guessing your gpu is ok but do you have the most upto date driver installed?

im not saying that a updated driver will solve the proplem but it might..

I was using the ATI 10.1 but it kept bsod on me so I went back to the 9.12 <– the purpose of me writing that is just to show that a update isnt always the fix :)

I had the exact same problem as your facing with the original alien vs predator over 10 years ago on my windows ME system… I was running a geforce 420mx (I think) lol and a upgrade to the 460 solved the sluggish prob ;)

you need a upgrade mate… and I cant tell you 100% if its your cpu, ram or gpu, sorry..
