Help! i'm currently using the sony vaio E series and i upgraded my hardrive to 1TB in which (C:)  drive is 600GB and the (D:)  Drive is 400GB. I've downloaded the Sims 3 and the expansions are Generations, Late Night, and 70s, 80s & 90s.

I'm going to install the town life, ambitions and seasons after i find out my problem and why it's so slow. T_T

You never listed your issue ( aside from something about it being slow, is that it? ) and from the sound of things you are not using the legal versions of the game. These forums will not help on issues with pirated software.

It should not be nearly that slow on your system. Try to do a clean setup of just the base game, do all the updates, see how it loads, then do the packs one at a time and see how that works.

Usually when people post "I downloaded the game", especially in your case where you listed a couple of hundred dollars worth of disks, it's usually a cracked version from a torrent.
