vista 32 vs 64 and sims 2...

Sm0ffi · 07-10-2008, 08:39 AM

Well yes i've turned up like a bad penny again - still going through some health problems, got an operation scheduled for a week on tuesday, but i'm getting back into the swing of things slowly...

Anyway.. stop babbling Smoffi!

I'm being treated to a new puter by hubby, and for the first time in nearly 10 years i wont be building it myself!

The downside of that is that i have no choice but to have the dreaded vista on it. Now having done some digging around i've heard a vicious rumour that sims 2 wont run on the 64bit version of vista.. is that true?

Not sure yet which version is coming on my new pc, its just listed as 'vista home premium'

A new PC is no use if i can't use it to play sims!

*hugs*

It's not true...I have 64-bit Vista and it plays just fine.

oooh so pleased to hear it!

Thankyou Becca

The dreaded Vista as you put it is fine. iI was worried when I had mine which is over a year ago, and have had no problems whatsoever. In fact it is better than XP. Sims 2 runs perfectly well on Vista. So you have no need to be concerned.

The Sims 2 runs perfectly on my Vista PC too.

I have Home Premium.

Hope you get better soon, Sm0ffi! *hugs*

Thanx Becky - i'll be fine

I know it runs on Vista, its just the 64 bit version i'd heard bad stuff about, but from what has been said here, it looks like it wont be a problem after all.

*hugs*
