I starting using a new Sims 3 expansion pack a few weeks ago. It worked fine with a simple, 1 sim, scenario; but once the game became more complicated with multiple characters, it stopped being able to load. I talked with EA Tech support and they said video card in my laptop is not supported. When I looked up the specs for the game, my card meets the minimum requirements. Is there a way that I can reduce the video cards usage by extraneous programs running in the background so I can run the game? I already tried reducing the settings in the games options to the minimum. It still would not load. Any other solutions? (I can't get a new graphics card, as I have a laptop w/ a fixed card.)
My current video card is Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family (apprx total memory 1293MB). I could not find any new driver upsdates. It was last updated 12/9/2008
