Ill make a thread later if someone doesnt beat me to it. But that sounds like the snowblind engine. Trry using the ntcore 4gb patch on your exe, that engine eats memory till pcsx2 crashes otherwise. With the patch it should be okay.

Comments:
Game was tested using the 4GB patch.
Unplayable on HW mode, too slow and may cause Windows to reboot your video driver. Works on SW mode with some graphical bugs and almost playable speed (it depends on what's going on screen), but I passed the first mission so I can consider this "playable". Console floods with: "GSdx: out-of-memory, texturing temporarily disabled". Last two pics are from HW mode.

Bugs:

Graphic glitches: main menu shows just a grey screen, ghosting on some parts and in certain camera angles there are borders that cover the screen, but nothing too serious.

Comments:
Won't boot from CD (freezes after PlayStation logo). Works with ISO, goes through menus, I can make a Sim in "Get-A-Life" mode, but as soon the game finishes loading, it hangs on loading screen (but music keeps playing with ingame sounds too sometimes). Can't get past it, I tried every possible hack/settings/plugins combination, but no dice. Actually, I got "almost ingame" by enabling the cheat that unlocks the "Sim Mode", but as soon as I selected it, it hangs (see last pic).

Bugs:

Can't progress past menus.

LoStraniero1991: Thanks to you also! Your thread is here: http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-The-Sims-SLES-51257-E

Thank you too refraction, but I don't see the Hitman thread. Maybe you're doing some more test on that? Also, Blood Money appears to be running smooth, I'll test it some more.

Sorry! didn't scroll up enough, here's your hitman thread. http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-Hitman-Co...ES-52134-E

Comments:
Game launched via a retail copy.
Average of 50 FPS.
Game freezes during the intro sequence after launching a new game in story mode regardless of difficulty mode.
Tutorial missions work fine.

Bugs:
Slight sound lag in menus if multiple keys are pressed at the same time.
Short (1/2 of a second at best) blacking out during missions, happening at irregular pacing ; not long enough to affect gameplay as far as I can tell.

Thanks for your report, if you could repost it here: http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-Ace-Comba...ES-50410-E

before you do however, could you try the SkipMPEG gamefix and see if that helps you get any further? Thanks

Just tried it. The first mission is playable, but other glitches appeared (mostly graphic). If it's OK, I will post both reports after pushing the tests further and trying other gamefixes to see if that can be fixed.
