You can't just copy the files from one pc to another. You have to install the game properly. Problem is just whether you will be able to activate the game, since you're key is already used for youre old install. Just give it a try and if you can't activate it uninstall the old version and activate by phone.

Go to the Sims graphics tab and UNcheck the DX10 box, see if that works.

Very confusing that. You can't just copy the sim from one HDD to another.

If you want to run the sim off your external HDD, you have to install it properly. During installation you may have to point the installer to your external HDD.

Hi there.

You cannot just 'copy' the files over to a HDD external drive or the such, as it is not know as a portable application and the pure fact that it is 25Gb. I highly suggest deleting it off your HDD, then re-installing it onto your new laptop.

Thanks,
Tom.
