when I go to play my sims pets The wall are flashing red and while its loading it takes 30 minutes to an hour what am I doing wrong.

thank you.

What are the specs of your machine? Ram etc??? Have you tried Reinstalling or Downloading the latest drivers for your graphics card?

Go to this website Jennings and see if your computer can even run the Sims

If you pass above Recommended then it's probably just your graphics card messing up because drivers arnt updated and if you go below recommended then you need to upgrade computer ( RAM, videocard and some other stuff )

If you go below Fail then... your computer sucks because Sims doesnt really need much requirements
