Okay, i'm thinking of getting this but I haven't a clue about computers so i'm counting on you guys to help me out...
I want to know whether my Laptop will be able to play the game, I dont know what I info I should give you but i'm sure theres a way to get my Laptop's specs to see whether the game will play smoothly.
So, please help me out.
Cheers.

My sister bought this, PC seems more than capable of running it, though I can run Far Cry, UT2004 and Doom 3 with little or no problems so that's no surprise.
I have a really crap graphics card, nut everything else is way over spec, doo u think itll still work? My computer handles Unreal really good...
Just check that Game Advisor out and it's really helpful (Thanks) but i'm getting a new computer soon and I wanna know if it'll work on that so if I give you the specs can you tell me whether it'll be able to play The Sims 2 because I dont know how to.

Try the windows game advisor. It will tell you if the game will run on your laptop.

The Sims 2 Specifications taken from the official site:
If you have a T&L capable video card with at least 32 MB of video RAM then you need at least:
- 800 MHz processor or better
- 256 MB RAM if Windows XP, Windows ME, Windows 98 or Windows 2000
- At least 3.5 GB of hard drive space
If you have a non-T&L capable video card (an Intel Extreme Graphics or a Radeon 7000/VE Series) then you need at least:
- 2.0 GHz processor or better
- 256 MB RAM if Windows XP, Windows ME, Windows 98, or Windows 2000
- At least 3.5 GB of hard drive space

If your laptop can match the above specs I don't why you'd have trouble running it.
