Simulation Overload

So I bought my wife a present resently, a stuff pack for her sims 2 game. We generally play side by side, discussing what we are each doing in the game. So I thought that a small gift like this might be a really good idea. We have both installed it however at the moment my wife is having problems running the game and I am worried that the gift I thought would be so great is actually no so great as it appears I am able to run it but she isn't. The problem may be in the tech that we are each individually using, however her computer should be far past the point to run it, the stuff pack shouldn't even change the game THAT much... She is now trying to run the game without the stuff pack to see if that helps and I really hope it does because I hate the idea of my wife being disappointed. Well anyway I will probably write something else later today when we get it to work.

Thanks for reading, God Bless,
