    Shall i bother getting the sims 2

    Hello,

    I am really worried about getting the sims 2, I want it sooooooooooo badly however i have heard really bad things about the system requirments, I have checked them out and my computer is above all of the requirements. I have 300 gig hard drive space and a really up to date video card. However I'm still very worried.

    Is all the fuss about the system requirments worth bothering to buy the sims2?

    My computer has no trouble running the origonal sims with all the expansion packs, apart from the ocassional crash, as my computer was brand spanking new in January this year.

    Does getting the sims 2 mean that i have to uninstall free rip (CD Ripping software) and my thing that copy's cd's that came with the computer?
    How dose it work out?

    Thanks alot for any replies

    Could you post your system specs? this way we could answer better.

    Depending on the software for copying cds that came with your computer, it may not make you uninstall it all, just some of the programs, and I think it's because people were abusing those cd copy programs to try to copy the game. I had to uninstall one cd copy program but it let me keep the nero burning software that came with my cd burner drive, so don't uninstall stuff till it tells you to. :D

    so far the only one i know of that will cause problems is clonecd. because i have both alcohol 120%, nero, and Easy CD Creator and sims2 hasnt given me any troubles yet.
