Since that promotion ended, we’ve gotten a lot of contacts asking for codes for the collection. Why the change?Ī few years ago, we ran a limited-time promotion offering free codes for The Sims 2 Ultimate Edition. Not only is it a PAIN to do, there are absolutely NO advantages, to running TS2, on nVidia GT730m and up, over the on-board graphics.Starting October 11, 2018, free copies of The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection will no longer be available. If DX9/9c isn't compatible with your set up, TS2 will run on DX11. You CAN run Sims 2 on HD4000 on-board graphics (3rdGen), but you'll need a fast (preferably a SSD) Hard drive at LEAST 7200rpm, otherwise you may encounter "Game stutter". If not, the HD on-board graphics (HD4400 or better) run Sims 2 just as well. If you have nVidia GT730m, or lower graphics, you can use the nVidia graphics. It's a 32in Monitor, with both VGA, and HDMI interfaces. You can either use the display on the laptop, or plug into a larger monitor via HDMI, DVI/HDMI, VGA, or a docking station.Ī GREAT monitor to use with these laptops, is the HP 32. The advantages to running Sims 2 on these Intel based laptops: I had to as this particular computer did not come with any optical drive. It ran fine, however I use a NoCD version of Sims 2. I ran my Sims2, on an MSI, i7-7700, with Win10, but I ran it on the HD630 graphics, instead of the nVidia 1070. You CAN play it on newer laptops (5th/6thGen), if you're running Win 8.1, and use the HD on-board graphics. those upgrades are VERY easy to do with a YouTube video. It doesn't matter if it's dual core, or quad core. These will all have at LEAST HD4600 on-board graphics. If you live close to me, (Austin area of Texas), I can put you together one, and even warranty it.ĤthGen computers will have the i5, or i7 indication, followed by a 4xxx indicator. Install an SSD, install more than 4gb/RAM, and use either Win7, or Win8.1, and run it on the HD4600 graphics. Unfortunately, it'll be used or a refurb. My recommendation for anyone who wants to play Sims 2 in this day and age, is to get yourself an i5/i7 4thGen laptop. Not a laptop? You could try a second hard drive with win7 and dual boot.
