Yes it will but not at very high resolutions. \n\nBefore I start , here's a quick and easy way to find out if your computer can run any game:\n\nhttp://www.systemrequirementslab.com/referrer/srtest\n\n\nI have seen Sims 2 running on a system with a Nvidia Geforce 5200.  This was Nvidia's entry level product from a few years ago.   The X1300 Mobility while not being a powerful card is going to be more efficient when using newer technology \n\nHere is an old list of supported graphics cards:\n\nBelow is a list of cards supported by The Sims 2:\n\n    * ATI RadeonTM series (7000 or better)\n          o Radeon 7000/VE series (non-T&L; requires 2.0 GHz processor)\n          o 7200, 7500\n          o 8500, All-In-Wonder 8500\n          o 9000, 9200, 9500, 9600, 9700, 9800\n          o X300, X600, X800\n             \n    * Nvidia® QuadroTM series\n          o Quadro, Quadro2, Quadro4\n             \n    * Nvidia® Geforce series (GeForce2 and better)\n          o GeForce2\n          o GeForce3, 3 Ti\n          o GeForce4, 4Ti, MX 420, 440\n          o GeForce FX 5200, 5600, 5700, 5800, 5900, 5950\n          o GeForce 6600, 6800\n             \nIt also lists some intergrated graphics options!  So your X1300 should have no problems, especially if you keep the resolution to 800*600.

Hey I didn't know they had games like that. I'm going to try the website now. I'll see how badly I screw up.\nI take it you like the game Risk and maybe the Sims??? I wonder if the game Risk has a website to play on.\nI started that game last night. This is the name of my Country " The Republic of PaintersPalette"\nIt's in Italy. I guess I won't know how badly I screw up until I play it a dozen times.

It's a problem with your graphics card. I had the same problem and the only way for me to fix it was to buy a new one. You could try updating your driver, that might work, but I doubt it because it didn't help mine. On the bright side, my graphics card was only about $50 and it was really easy to install. If you can't spend the money just uninstall everything and only install Sims up to Nightlife and ask for a video card for Christmas. If you search Sims 2 compatible video card you can find lists that let you know which ones will work.

No, actually. My boyfriend just downloaded it, loves it, and my computer's no worse for the wear. \nI also like to use a program named Ares, together I can find anything on either of those programs.

You need the case to  eneter the code. You can call for service that might help. My sims crash all the time. I am mad they just crashed last week.

The definitive answer to that is: MAYBE.\n\nProbably not, but...\n\n  If you have one of the brand new Macs with an Intel processor, you could possibly run Apple's BootCamp software which would allow you to run windows on your Mac.  Then, you may be able to install the PC version of Sims 2.\n\nIf your Mac is a PowerPC, you're out of luck.

I'm not sure why that happens.. It's never happened to me before.  Try going to the Sims website (which I included at the bottom) and downloading a patch and see if that fixes it.  Hope this helps :)

The problem with Sims 2 is that the Graphics Card must be Direct X 9.0c 'hardware' compatible, some are not!!\n\nOK. Click Start, Run and type DXDIAG, this little program will give you details of your hardware (relating to Direct X). Run all the tests and see if anything fails. Also make a note of the date of the graphics card software, then visit either ATI, nVidea or the manufacturers website and download the latest video drivers. \n\nIf it still fails take the card back to the shop and ask for a Direct X 9.0c compatible card. From experience most cards manufactured in the last 18 months should be compatible. Maybe it was old stock!!\n\nAnother tip while playing is to shut down everything else in the background, including your virus scanner (don't forget to turn it back on if you go online)

SURE, I PLAY SIMS 2 AND SIMS 2 UNIVERSITY WITH A ATI X300SE PCI EXPRESS ONA DELL 8400. THE GAME RUNS FAST AND WITH A GOOD QUALITY BUT IF YOU GO DOWNTOWN YOU WIL NEED TO LOWER THE GRAPHICS
