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.

You have used up all the space on the SSD and not stored the games on the 1TB HDD. Just move the games to the HDD. You will see a second drive probably labelledScience isn't exact, it's only confidence within limits.0

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 to0 -

thanks, I'll have a go, I just saved the games to the C drive as this is where I suggested, not realising I have all this space on D!"I am not a vegetarian because I love animals; I am a vegetarian because I hate plants." A. Whitney Brown0
