Tell me about it, It's hard enough getting into the PC gaming world. I'm still trying to figure out what windows 8 computer, or even laptop would be able to run the sims 2. So far... Nada, which is a shame because i've collected a shit ton of mods and custom content since 2006 to 2011.Feels good knowing you will never have trouble with specs huh? Big screen TVs help. Not to mention the new controllers.
