не запускается ни на одном из трех компутеров, либо нужен очень древний девайс для игры либо разрабы бездари
I love the sims 3 so much and im devastated. Ive tried...and tried...and tried to get the game to work on my new laptop but it wont. Ive bought it on the EA app and steam and neither work. If i try to launch the launcher it will work but once in the launcher and i hit play...it wont open. It crashes. But if i launch it through the files it will open up the game but when i go to create a world it says "A serious error has occurred while loading 'Moonlight Falls.world'. It is strongly reccomended that you restart the application." And ive tried...everything i can think of and its just not happening. T^T
Sorry but this is absolute trash. Takes ages to load and crashes when it does, don't get me started on the hoops you've got to jump through just to begin. Overhyped. Terrible graphics. Stick with sims 4. No I can not suggest buying this. Waste of time and money!
I was trying to play Sims 3; I caved and got it, as well as Generations/Ambitions, as I have heard those are good expansions to start with. What a mistake that was. I am about at my wits' end trying to get this damn game to work. I swear it is the most volatile game I have ever played in my life. If you just look at it in the wrong way, it'll freeze and crash. Feels like a scam to be selling these games and DLC so expensive still when all it does is crash. (By the way I do not have any mods or CC, aside from several different patches I tried using to fix the crashes.) No matter what i've tried to do, it still seems to crash. I tried restarting; I tried deleting the 'CurrentGame' File, blah blah blah; I tried way too many options. Forget about EA, the only EA we need is Early access paralives. I hope this company goes bankrupt. Scammers
Only buy when on sale. EA doesn't deserve our money. Love the game hate the company.
Я один не использовал чит коды, а создавал симов и заселял их к какой нибудь богатой семье, а потом становился их наследником?
Game doesn't even launch despite various attempts to fix/reinstalls.
i love the sims 3. but dont even bother playing it on modern computers. my save just gets corrupted every time i play.
Любимая игра на века, но как в неё играть, начиная с 2026, когда самые новые технологии не могут поддерживать старые игры, не ясно. Нашла какой-то "гайд", обещающий игру без вылетов только на час времени. Ситуация очень грустная. Обидно нажимать на кнопочку "не рекомендую"(
[h1] Es sin duda alguna el mejor Sims creado hasta el momento [/h1] [h3] Pese a que ha envejecido mal [/h3] [b] Hacer esta reseña negativa a uno de mis juegos predilectos me duele[/b] , tanto como también me duele ignorar el perjuicio que el tiempo le ha generado. [b] No es un mal juego[/b], al contrario, es el conjunto de mecánicas ideal que llevan el concepto de los Sims a la cúspide de su evolución, llevando la simulación a un mundo abierto que tiene la intención de sentirse vivo y dinámico. Pero con el avance tecnológico, intentar retomar este juego se ha convertido en [b] una experiencia insufrible llena de errores y crasheos[/b] que aumentan exponencialmente según avanza la partida, la cual depende de guardados manuales, y que inevitablemente termina generando perdidas constantes en el progreso. Es por eso que en breves palabras, no solo no puedo recomendarlo, si no que [b] desaconsejo el siquiera contemplar adquirirlo[/b] , pues, pese a que es un muy buen juego, y en mi opinión el mejor de los Sims, técnicamente es la peor de las experiencias para un jugador moderno que no desea ver como cualquier tipo de avance en una partida es ofuscado por la incapacidad del software de mantenerse al día [i](Pese a que el precio del juego base y sus DLC’s si lo ha hecho)[/i].
