    I recommend a PC upgrade.

    Most probably RAM and Graphics Card.

    You can also turn the detail settings down in Sims 2, by going into the settings then going into the Monitor icon.

    Its probably because you don't have a good enough computer. What you need to buy is a bigger hard drive or more RAM to your computer. Sims 2 is a big game and takes a lot of virtual memory, making your computer run slower.

    Try this tweak it should help some. Make sure though you have at least 40% free disk space before doing it.
