@haleybop86 I recently got a 1525 Inspiron Dell laptop, and I am a big fan of the Sims 2 games. I knew that the regular Sims games didn't work on laptops, so I bought The Sims Life Stories since it was "PC Laptop Friendly." But now, whenever I try to play on story mode, the game is basically stuck on the loading screen (with the family pic and all the squares) but the music is playing smoothly and the mouse is making transitions. But, when I play Free Play and the tutorial, everything is fine. What is wrong? I want to try Story Mode, but nothing is working. Does anyone know anything that might help me?

Thanks,
