Хотелось бы отметить, что это лучшая из серий игр, по сравнению с Sims 4. Плюсы в пользу Sims 3 : Открытый мир (город) Более глобальные дополнения (DLС) Выходит бюджетнее (однако кошелёк вашего парня все равно придётся расчехлить, но это уже не наши проблемы, девочки) Всю жизнь мечтала стать русалкой, а с Sims 3 эта мечта стала не такой уж и нереальной. Минусы: ОДНИ ПЛЮСЫ ♥♥♥♥♥ Нельзя родить от зомби, да и в целом нельзя с ними взаимодействовать, жаль потраченных денег( Еще к вам в дом неожиданно может прийти бродячая собака, а кони могут поселиться в гараже и развалить мусор по всему участку, поэтому никогда не покупайте дома около моря, а лучше вообще живите на улице. В целом, своих (моего парня) денег стоит, но только с DLС 9 симолеонов из 10
Лучше чем Симс 4
спасибо за лагающий и вылетающий кусок дерьма <3
probably my favourite game of all time i discovered it as a child by accident from youtube i have been playing the sims 3 since i was in school and now i am a university student about to enter my masters and i still play it 3 is by far the best game out of the entire series for me. Personally i don't love playing with mods and cc because my laptop can't handle much but sometimes i do because the clothes and skins are very very outdated and of it's time but if you can look past that you can easily sink hours and even years into this game. i think the sim 3 will always be a game i keep coming back to despite it's faults. It has the best expansions by far although into the future the last pack is probably the worst as someone who likes playing realistic and very boring domestic gameplay. Overall this is by far the best game i have ever played in my life it opened me up to more games and i would not have had fun all of those years if it wasn't for the sims 3. I have loved every single family I've ever played. and i still want to play it even more and the graphics still do hold up.
【中文版】 身為《模擬市民 3》的老玩家,我必須給予最嚴厲的警告:請避開這台筆電的規格。 即便這台電腦性能頂尖,但它與這款經典老遊戲完全不相容。我已經嘗試了所有可能的修復手段(包括 Alder Lake 補丁、Smooth Patch、手動補齊 DirectX 9 與 C++ 2005/2010 運行庫,並降頻至 60Hz),但系統依然持續報錯(.DLL 遺失或系統錯誤),完全無法進入遊戲。 這不是設定問題,而是這顆最新的 CPU 架構與 Windows 11 對老舊引擎的支援徹底崩潰。如果你買電腦是為了玩《模擬市民 3》,買這台只會讓你絕望。 受災系統資訊: CPU: Intel Core i9-14900HX OS: Windows 11 【English Version】 As a long-time fan of The Sims 3, I must issue a stern warning: STAY AWAY from this hardware configuration. Despite the high-end specs, this machine is fundamentally incompatible with the game. I have exhausted every community-led fix, including the Alder Lake Patch, Smooth Patch, installing legacy DirectX 9 and C++ 2005/2010 Redistributables, and capping the screen at 60Hz. None of it worked. The game still crashes with ".DLL missing" or "System Error" prompts before it even launches. The issue lies in the massive compatibility gap between Windows 11, the Intel 14th Gen hybrid architecture, and the 17-year-old game engine. If your goal is to play The Sims 3, this laptop is a total waste of money. System Specs: CPU: Intel Core i9-14900HX OS: Windows 11
10x better than sims 4. People cared when they made this
love it but it is buggy as HELL in this version. it stays on in the background, plays at the loudest volume known to man, and i've expereienced so many bugs. really not worth the price imo. id rather break out my xbox 360 version
i just got the game and i cant play it because of errors
This is a good game. The Sims 4 is ♥♥♥♥, The Sims 3 is the best game from the series.
No to happy. I have been having a bit of an issue with saving the Progress. Also, When I try to log into SIMs3, it gives me an error. The error is "an issue has occurred while loading Sunset valley.
