I just hope EA knows what went wrong, and hopefully they will work out their technical problems within the game.

The gameplay (when they can actually play) is fun, but the problem is that the game freezes or plays with a darker screen than it should and keeps stalling.

I have read where others stated they had problems installing, and crashing issues.

But I have 2 Friends of mine who did have the crashing and freezing problem with this game like so many other people who left a review on here..those 2 friends by the way are quiet disappointed by Sims 3 also, and 1 of the 2 has stopped playing it after only 2 weeks and the other after playing it on and off for 3 months

This problem ultimately restricted my Sims to being a one-child household because my couple couldn't afford a house with more than two bedrooms and they simply didn't have the space for a second child

The game works great; the only problem is it reeked of cigarettes.

The inherent problem with Sims games, I've found, is that while it has wide-ranging appeal, it has limited real gameplay opportunities.

No problems saving either (knock on wood)My game hasn't lagged one time, but I do have a beefed up machine.

The only problem I have is you can only play with just one family, so it's not like the sims 2 where you can play with mutiple families

a few problems is poor graphics, aweful character customization (a downgrade from Sims 2) and a huge lack in content!

Trust me, the game has so many problems that you don't even get to enjoy all the new features because you're too busy trying to restart your computer.

The problem only gets worse with each expansion pack you install.2

I have a top-of-the-line PC, no problems running any game out there, yet this one crashes constantly

I would recommend this game to everyone, should they fix the problems they have with them.

We both had minor problems, but overall we thoroughly enjoyed the game

Death lag an intermittent problem that reliably happens no matter what I try

But they put patches to download to fix problems like

I also like that this eliminates that annoying problem in the Sims 2 where teenage sims who were dating would lose their boy/girlfriends as soon as they became adults because neighborhood sims don't grow with them

The only problem that I have with Sims 3 is lack of hair and outfit choices.

I've had this game for a few weeks now and one problem I've had is that it always freezes, I'll be playing and it will just freeze just like

The first two held a spot in my strategy gamer's heart as being fun and kooky, even with its well-known problems (basic tasks taking too long, all the hand-holding, etc.).I am usually caught up on most technology news as it's part of my job and was elated to find reports on the expansiveness and changes in the Sims 3

It lacks a little in furniture, but there are usually deals at the store and the starting points help ease that problem

The other big problem (for me) was the time issue when your Sim(s) went out of the house.

I've had no crashes and no problems - it's great!
