lil bit help here? please? :D

[Gerryk]

Hello, Gerryk here again.

Here is the thing, i used to had a problem with freezing and lag and stuff, u know, when the animations such as plumblob and other anims keep moving but the sims dont.
So, HP told me that my lap couldnt run the game, but well... u know, when u like something is not easy to give up, so i didnt and reading around i readed, that the problem was the pets expantion pack, because of the strays number increasing and other things.
So, by now, i've been playing sims 3 without a single problem(without pets) for about 3 weeks(and when i had pets i played around 3 days and the game begun laging).
So my question is this:
Is there a way to fix that? or i definitively have to skip pets? its one of my fav ep :bunny: :help:

Thanks beforehand :D

If your system isn't strong enough, you do need to play without something. If you really want to play with Pets, you could consider which other EPs you can do without. This will mean the games saved with that EP data are no longer usable, though.

(And you might consider making sure that you are saving up to buy a better computer. You're going to need a replacement if you stress your poor laptop too much.)

As I told you before, your laptop's graphics is not supported even for just the base game alone. Pets can highlight the issue because it adds more strain, but it doesn't mean that skipping Pets will make the game work on your laptop. It's not just a matter of it adding more strays, but, well, a lot more technical reasons in the background with the way the game renders graphics. Your laptop is simply not suited for playing TS3, and there is no way around that besides getting a new system which meets (or, better yet, exceeds) the game's requirements.
