It's also very mouse throwingly frustrating when the game crashes for no reason at all during normal game play; only to lose 4 hours of progress

But items and options have obviously been left out for you to have to buy from the EA website later, no ultra speed means sleeping and working (in-game) will leave you with nothing to do for 5-10 straight minutes, and worst of all, the game crashes

the game crashes nicely every third or fourth playing).I only "upgraded" because I had problems running Sims 2 after Apartment Life

One problem that I had was buying the Pets EP--my game crashed any time a horse came on the lot

Sims 3 stability: I have had zero problems with the game crashing

I am a mac user, and my game crashes anywhere from every 15 minutes to three hours

OK, i finally get it installed only to find that the graphics suck, the game crashes at random points, people disappear, the screen goes fuzzy, and basically the game has tons and tons of glitches!

My game crashes everytime during the character creation

I've been playing the game for hours before the game crashes

It's a buggy, unfun, massive step backwards from Sims 2.So what makes it so bad?First off, the game crashes nearly constantly

It constantly crashed, EA was useless, even ended up having to take my computer into the MAC store once after the game crashed so badly it completely locked up my system.

Once I finally created my Sim, the game crashed before I selected a "Couch" for the first step of the tutorial

seriously.*The game crashes/is buggy.

The only trouble I have is that the game crashes after long hours of use.

To have to live with a game crashing and possibly shutting off your system every time is utterly inexcusable and potentially dangerous

Another issue I'm having, as well as others from what I've been reading at the offical sites, is the game crashing constantly

The game crashes repeatedly, creating an extremely frustrating experience

In addition, if the game crashes DURING a save, the save game is lost

Until I tried to buld a basement and the game crashed

Runs fine, havent had any issues with the game crashing like some have had.

; however, they should have also been a little more loyal to the fans).A little side note; I read a lot of reviews that mentioned the game crashing for them

The graphics are not as crisp as in Sims 2.

My wife loves this game, but she doesn't feel it's much better than the sims2 because there are some things missing such as not being able to create a restaurant

Hope everyone gets to enjoy it as much as I do

But I tried the Sims3 on my outdated Computer and the game booted up slow but wants I was in the game it seem to run OK good enough to play, and the bulding part of the game was not really that bad and the graphic detail were OK but not as good as in the

Camera movement is not as smooth as in TS2

I recommend reading as many reviews (both positive and negative) as you can and deciding for yourself

I get that this is to make it friendly to the casual crowd, but the UI is not as good as in 2.-As cool as the always-running neighborhood is, it does open the possibility of something undesirable happening to one of your families while you are playing another

The last con is that sometimes the sims will not follow the action as fast as you would like them to like sometimes when you make your sim take a shower, he might stand there for about 30 game seconds before showering

I am one who's computer runs the game but not as good as it could

Fun game but not as good as before

I loved the Sims, as well as the Sims 2 and spent countless hours playing the game

:THE GOOD*Everything is customizable, from the highlights in your sim's hair to the pattern on your sim's couch.*The sims can now be as skinny or fat as you want

the quality of the sims are almost as bad as in sims 1

They allow you to do so much more and aren't as restrictive as in the previous version

I wouldn't want anyone cursing me out for selling them this s__t!

The sims won't like big parties because s/he'll hate being around large groups of people
