It just has these problems with SOME computer....some other users are not experiencing any problems at all.
Just cause it needs a patch...doesn't mean the game is horrible and no one should buy it. And this coming from a guy who doesn't like the game...
Quick, the game doesn't work on a old computer.It's the work of the devil, throw your copies in the fire.

...and let's all rally together with fire and axes to the publisher's lair....
WoW runs on practically any hardware as it was released in 2005. The Sims 3 was released 4 years later...
Tough luck, get a better PC because the game isn't bad at all.
game is horrible. why the **** would you go and take out every expansion from Sims 2. To make money, no to piss off the players. No pets, no seasons, no even going inside stores. Its ticking me off just like spore did. They should put every expansion on and then make new ones with new stuff later. God! Only good thing about it is the better graphics but what is the point. Boo to SIMS! And i want to really be able to make my character like a human. I wanted to be able to make a skater/
snowboarder which would be simple and seeing as i thoujght Sims 3 would be like a revolutionized Sims but no. i wanna kick the maker in his little simleon and bring a motherlode of pain on him. Hate it don't buy it unless they make a version with all the expansions on it.
CPU? Graphics card? RAM? Etc.

Heh. That's why I said (in other threads) that I'm just waiting for a Sims 2 pack with the game and all of the expansions like they eventually did with the first one.
The no expansion thing happened back when The Sims 2 came out as well.
My solution has just been to buy the stock game and ignore all of the money-grubbing expansions.
Sims 3 lets me craft a ton of varied sims and make their lives a living hell, which is all I want out of the game - and it lets me make more neurotic sims than ever before, which is even better. Dysfunctional families everywhere!
I have a Core i7 920, with a GTX 275, and other than a stuttering issue, which occurs chiefly while my sims are away from their homes, the game is running really well considering how much stuff is happening in the world - remember, every single sim is being simulated. These aren't pre-programmed NPCs that are moving around like zombies. This is something completely different - these are real sims. Everything that's happening is happening randomly.Right now, I have 10 homes that I've constructed, and all of the homes are populated with sims of my own creation - the city in which I'm playing is massive, and it's just mind-blowing, seeing all these sims that I created, running around and getting to know one another. I keep on jumping from house to house, and interfering with their lives'. It's just awesome.I had hopes for this game- but what the developer has managed to do has surpassed my every expectation.There are thousands of little things happening in this game that are a true delight to behold. Tonight, just before I quit playing, for example, my sim was out on the front porch, practicing her guitar, very badly, when suddenly she 'leveled up', and started playing better. It was really unexpected, because you could actually hear the difference! - and at that precise moment another sim came along and turned on the stereo, full volume, which made my other sim angry. She threw down her guitar and went inside after screaming at the other sim. The other sim, an evil sim from next door (a creation of my own!) followed the guitar playing sim inside and snuck up on her from behind and scared the living daylights out of her. My guitar playing sim threw another temper tantrum and ordered the other sim out of the house for inappropriate behavior. This sim then left the house, creeping along, and gleefully rubbing her hands together - you got the impression that she was heading out to perform more evil deeds.Stuff like that seems to happen at least once every five minutes - and I'm not exaggerating.That all of this is happening everywhere, at once, and that many of these sims are of my own creation is just fantastic. This game is completely charming. And yes, the graphics are vastly improved, because of the sims themselves. Just watch how their eyes move about... it's so real that at times it's spooky. One time a sim under my control was watching t.v., and her eyes were reacting to what was happening on the set, when another sim, whom she despised walked by - momentarily her eyes shifted away from the television towards the passing sim, and they grew angry, and words were exchanged between the two sims... but then moments later, her eyes turned back to the television and began to react to what she was seeing on the screen. Amazing stuff. I never would have thought the game would have this much detail in it.

I've never been into the Sims...but if that's true....it really is stupid.
Like you said, you're paying for things you've paid before....why not include them all and create NEW things....
There's so much stuff happening in this version that I can't even keep track - it's like a soap opera almost. It really sucks you in.I've created ten houses within proximity of one another, and filled them up with Playboy Playmates. All the playmates are co-mingling and developing relationships. It's fantastic. After four days I feel like I'm just getting started. And like I said above, every five minutes I'm seeing something new. The game is a complete time sink - start the stupid thing up and, whoosh, there go three hours of your life.Honestly, this is so not a half-a-game that's it's just ridiculous. The game has amazing depth. I'm nowhere near the point of needing an expansion pack... but when they do start to release them it's going to be great. The expansion packs will obviously be centered around the idea that The Sims 3 is taking place in a massive world, and will therefore be nothing like the expansion packs we saw in The Sims 2.Most of the arguments against The Sims 3 don't hold any weight with me - I've read some valid criticisms at the official website, but most of the stuff I'm reading here, and at a few other forums, isn't very well thought out... I don't even know where most of it's coming from. Not all of it, but some of it, is even coming from people who obviously haven't even played the game (I'm still trying to work out why somebody would spend time bashing a game that they've not even played - it's extremely odd.)That said, everyone's entitled to their opinion - and I wouldn't want to get into an argument with somebody about this game anyhow.Me, I just think that this game is a wonder. :)
I like it and it's running fine on my computer. I think the only reason that you don't like the game si because it isn't the Sims 2. You got so involved with the lives of the people in the Sims 2 and the game that you just want your Sims 2 back. It's the Sims 3, not the Sims 2 you're playing.

Good to hear you are enjoying it and I respect that.
Me, I tried Sims, I tried Sims 2... but no go....guess it's not my cup of tea.
The idea of creating some characters, and then just watching them move around, talk, go to work and do normal stuff just doesn't seem like fun to me. I'm more of an MMO, COD4 online kind of guy....
Saying that...my friend is gonna go buy Sims 3....when he can, he is gonna lend it to me to see if I can get into it.... I'll let you know.

That's a sharp comment.
I wanted to write that, but I thought that it would've made people angry - not that it's stopped me before. LOL!
Yes, a colleague of mine at work made this same observation - namely, that those who are being the most critical about this game are the ones who are playing it as though it's The Sims 2. In other words, they aren't creating multiple sims, nor are they creating multiple houses on multiple lots. Nor are they working away to fulfill the lifetime wishes of their sims. Nor are they trying to work out how the different traits end up effecting the various relationships.
There are literally thousands of new ideas in this game.
My friend from high school, who was working at Redwood during the production of this game, said to me that each E.A. employee was under a HUGE amount of pressure to come up with ideas that would make it into the game - if you're supporting a family, and your income depends on you making a mark at work, then you obviously have to come up with brilliant ideas, or else you're just not going to survive. He said that hundreds of people were working on this game (and let's face it, these people are the cream of the crop), and this translated into literally tens of thousands of ideas being tested out. Not all of those ideas were used, obviously, but thousands of them did make it in, because they were the best.
I mean, how can anybody say that that doesn't show - every five minutes something startling happens in this game. For example, I almost never laugh out loud ('ve been to movies that were supposed to be comedies, and never laughed out loud even once) but at least a half a dozen times in The Sims 3 something so unexpected has happened that I've quite literally laughed out loud.
Whenever that's happened, it's made me think about what Bill said to me, and of how people were under so much pressure to come up with ideas - during those moments, when I've laughed out loud, I've known that I had witnessed just one of those ideas that had made its way into the game. Much respect to the developers. SO MUCH love has gone into the production of this game.

Oh no!
You control everything that your characters do. You tell them where to go, when to go, and what to do - but the way they react and do it is a mystery until it's done. Controlling a household of four sims is non-stop work, and for this series E.A. has actually provided a 'difficulty meter'. Trust me, four is enough! You're working away the entire time - it's a total rush.
You feel a genuine buzz when you get them all co-ordinated and doing their stuff.
Wow.. Ugh.. It was released in 2005, it runs on a cellphone ffs..
