Question

What will make SIMS 2 ( on PC) faster without installing anything?

Answer 1

not having other stuff running such as msn or yahoo  

Answer 2

Quit all other running programs, defrag the hard drive, clean the CD so the computer can read it easier.

Answer 3

Install some programs that you don't use any more.

Also- if you are a Windows Vista user then try right clicking and choosing 'Run as Administrator'. It seems to make mine run a lot faster for some reason, but I'm not sure if that will be the same for everyone.  

Answer 4

Closing any other things you have running on your computer.

Check the taskbar too, things like MSN and AIM stay there even if you click the x. So right click and then choose exit or close.

And if you think you know quite a bit about computers you can open Ctrl + Alt + Esc then going to Processes and ending the ones you definitely don't need running, however if you end processes like explorer.exe then you'll have to restart your computer. This method is only recommended if you know what you're doing.
