Don't be silly, I'm not handing out assignments with due dates here. Just would like to see you enjoy your game more than you must be with all that crashing and of course I don't want harm to come to your laptop either. Good question about Seasons and your ongoing game. Some EPs' removals would make ongoing games that had "seen" them become unplayable. I know Pets does, Supernatural and ITF would in some cases, Showtime might cause issues if you have genies, would hate to think what would happen to your sims if you removed WA while playing in France, etc., but not sure about Seasons. I'll have to check with some colleagues or we could see if anyone else responds to that question here.

@Chain - You have a point about the 5000 series and up for Intel, but this one is older. Perhaps I am oversimplifying things, but it appears to compare not very favorably against a Radeon HD 4350 and Nvidia GT 705, neither of which are strong enough to run much of anything TS3. But yes, more RAM would definitely improve things up to a point.

@MagicalA - A colleague has confirmed that you should be able to remove Seasons and still be able to play an ongoing game forward without it. Of course any EP specific things like Aliens and objects will be removed/replaced with something else.
