If anyone else here has a laptop and is thinking about installing the Sims 2 on it, my advice is simple; don't bother. The game is not laptop-friendly. It's difficult (although not impossible) to control the game with the touch pad, the graphics are not as smooth as they would be on a desktop unit of comparable power, and the number of performance and graphics glitches I get per game session is ridiculous. Some of this may be the fault of the Seasons expansion pack, which seems to be the cause of similar problems on my other two systems, and the game itself is notorious for bugs anyway, but on the laptop the situation is much worse. The loading time is okay, and I can play the game, but it isn't the enjoyable experience that it should be. Bottom line: If you have the game, don't install it on your laptop. It isn't worth the effort.
