Hello,
I am at my wits end as I have no idea what I am doing, I hope someone can take pity on me!
I have bought this laptop "MSI GS60 2PC(Ghost)-485UK Gaming Laptop Intel Core i7-4710HQ 8GB RAM 1TB HDD 128GB SSD 15.6 LED No-DVD NVIDIA GTX 860M Webcam Bluetooth Windows 8.1 64bit / GS60 2PC-485UK"
Installed Sims 3 with all the expansions on my C drive and apparently this uses up 113 GB....but it says I have no more memory - I thought this was 8GB? Have I done something wrong?
Help please.

Err... Wouldn't it be easier to just install the program on the hard drive (non-SSD)? 1TB should be plenty of space!0 -
Presumably the 1TB Drive is

So the user might uninstall SIMS3 and re-install to
