Not happened since CM97/98

Thanks to finally upgrading my processor to a P4 3ghz (overclocked to 3.15),
finally, for the first time since I was playing CM97/98 I don't have my CPU
being hit for 99% while playing the current game. Woohoo!

Okay I'm sure some of you guys already had good enough cpus, but this is the
first time I've actually had one good enough to cope with CM without
struggling.

No doubt that means it's time for the new FM to use even more processor
power and put me back to 99% again. But for now I'm happy.

FM doesn`t use more computer power than CM. It`s "easier" on the computer
even though it`s much more complicated. On my laptop (2ghz and 256mb
shared ram) FM is faster than 01-02....go figure!

Right now I got cm3 on the laptop and FM on the stationary, wich is much
more powerful. I`ve been trying to kill it with Sims 2 but no luck yet..

It does use more power then CM97/98 though (being a CM2 build). It was only
with CM3 that my processor started hitting the roof (and until recently I've
always had a mid range computer so I knew it was due to the game and not me
lagging behind with an ancient computer). I did notice FM being marginally
better then the last CM.

It`s true. Sims 2 use up a lot of memory etc., but now it runs
smooooooth though. One of my sims died due to an unfortunate fire...but
still...smooooth..

I haven't played the Sims since the origional (and I mean before any of the
expansions even). But good to know setting fire to people is still as
popular as ever

We didn't have a third floor in my day. But I am glad the methods of killing
yours (and visiting) sims has moved on from the old starve/burn/drown (and
odd electrocution and hamster-disease). I got bored with the reality TV
aspects very early and got bored with the interior designing quite early
too. Took a lot longer to get bored of killing people...um sims. That's the
only thing that could tempt me back.
