Most modern laptops are fine in the ram/hard drive space areas, but often neglect the graphics card.

The requirements for basic game on XP are : * Supported T&L-capable video card with at least 32 MB of video RAM.

Supported Video Cards:

* ATI Radeon 8500, All-In-Wonder 8500, 9000, 9200, 9500, 9600, 9700, 9800, X300, X600, X700, X800, and X850.
* NVIDIA GeForce 2, 2 GTS, 3, 3 Ti, 4, 4 Ti, 4200, 4600, and 4800.
* NVIDIA GeForce MX 420, 440, and 460.
* NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200, 55500, 5600, 5700, 5800, 5900, and 5950.
* NVIDIA GeForce PCX 5300, and 5900.
* NVIDIA GeForce 6200, 6600, and 6800.
* NVIDIA Quadro, Quadro2, and Quadro4.

If you have a 2.4 GHz or faster processor, the game may run with the following video cards:

* Intel Extreme Graphics 82865, 82915, and higher.

Vista should be similar.

Sims 2 works fine on Vista as bigmamma said. It isn't really down to the operating system though.Sims 2 is very graphics intense and RAM hungry (especially if you install custom content). Can you tell us how much RAM you have and what graphics card you are using,then any advice given will be more likely to be correct.
