My laptop failed about three requirements for the game and I can still play just fine.

really? well mine failed only one.. maybe it'll work on mine then. i hope haha!

i still dont know if i want this yet

i played the leaked version on my friends computer for only 10 minutes and stopped because i didnt want to spoil it

she forced me to play XD

but.. i dont like the way the sims characters look. they kind of look like the barbie cartoons

[Guest My Sweet September]

Haha, Sims characters never look that great until you get people to post up nifty mods

Anyway, I am freakin buying a new laptop for this game. Well actually, not a new laptop, because I have never had on before....but I have a fine PC, the only problem is the intergrated chipsset graphics, grr.

i needed a nice laptop anyway...

I am buying the M90 Dell. 2GB RAM, 512 MB graphic card...I think it will run great. Fingers crossed at least!

[Guest ~+Cross+~]

Hehe. It's out today...

But I'm broke >.<

Anyone get it?

You should tell me how awesome it is?

[Guest colloquy]

I'm getting this in the mail tomorrow, probably after my exam. I can't wait to start playing, I love the Sims.

[Guest Soy]

I'm picking up my copy today ^^. I've been counting down until today like crazy. Dude I still remember when the first Sims game came out and it was all the rage and now there's a "3rd generation". Crazy.

[Guest HeartOnHerSleeve]

I just bought a copy!!! =)

Unfortunately, my computer probably can't handle it, so I'm taking it to a local computer place to get a new video card.

So excited!

[Guest res0nate]

Whatever you do, do NOT give more money to EA by buying items with REAL money.

Unless you're that desperate to spend $20 on a sofa.

[Guest Painterlyy]

I'm so excited for this game! But i'm a little iffy of paying 60 bucks for this game.

[Guest Carmen.]

Hahah I was so excited that I went out to the store afterschool and bought a copy.

I've installed it, but I have to hold off playing it until the weekend or something...because I have so much to do and I know FOR SURE that'd I'd get sidetracked lol.

Edit: NOOOOO MY VIDEO CARD DOESN'T WORK WITH TS3.

I hate how my computer is ancient lol

[Guest LycheeLa]

I want to get it soon

but my computer can't handle it

._. maybe its time for an upgrade !

[Guest AvisImportant]

Hey everyone!

I spent the last hour worrying about my computer's specs before I opened the game, and I found several things that may be useful to some people unsure of their computer's specs. I'm a noob and I just thought I'd share some things and tips that I learned in the last hour, in hopes that this helps some other computer noob.

I went to System Requirements Lab to see if The Sims 3 will work on it. Says it will for me, so hooray. Just a note that SRL may not be accurate and requires some add-on thing, which could potentially harm your computer. Okay, just a disclaimer so no one blames me if something goes wrong.

Also, if you're worried about your graphics card, check this Video card ranking list to see where yours ranks. I found this site while doing my research lol. To check what graphics card you have, go to Control Panel>Hardware and Sound>Device Manager, and look for Display Adaptors.

As for Ram and processor, just right-click on My Computer and check the properties.

For the system requirements, just google.

Haven't run The Sims 3 yet but I hope that information helps!

Is it different from Sims 2? I was a sims fanatic when the first one came out. I kept uninstalling sims 2 so i never got around playing it much... from the website, it doesn't look that much different from the second sims.

For real. I played for days already and it's fine. A little slow when you drive to the market, visiting neighbors, etc. but everything else works just fine. I think the graphic isn't as good as it should be but it's not terrible either.

Yeah, I think sims 2 look better too with the high texture detail on. I turned on the texture detail in sims 3 and they still look blah. This was on my sister's computer by the way so it's not my laptop's fault.

[Guest HeartOnHerSleeve]

Hmm...I've played the Sims 3 on my computer (with my new videocard...which was expensive...), and it's okay. I have more fun creating Sims and looking at Bella, Mortimer, and all the other characters from Sims 1 and 2 than actually playing. It is pretty cool that you can visit your neighbors inside their house and stuff =)

I think I prefer the Sims 3 to the Sims 2 just because of the visiting the neighbors/new look/seamless neighborhood thing. I still have to get used to the controls and new system.

[Guest melzbellz]

So i bought the game on amazon the day before it came out... and then i checked to see if my laptop could handle it and it CAN'T! so sad :( it's like 2 and half years old and a dell ughh. i figured i'd install the game anyways but then i realized the game wouldn't be much fun for me until there were some Mods available! Sheesh so much anticipation that was killed in a quick sec.

I got The Sims 3 yesterday, I'm severely disappointed with the game with just about every aspect. (I've been playing the Sims for 8 years TS1, TS2)

No way in heck am I paying for some stupid furniture. And ohmygosh, we have VERY limited clothing, hair and make up...not worth the money you pay for it AT ALL.
