r/thesims3

So lately I want to play the sims 3 again it’s probably the best sim game to me so much more detailed then sims 4 and I need help with a a few things

What gaming laptop to buy as this computer will only be for the sims 3 I want to also run these EP as I had these and I want to get them again

Seasons
Pets
University
Generations
And Showtime

That also leads me into the question is I hear you need certain mods to run these parks and certain mods to help run parks like island paradise as I do plan to get more packs if I like them and I had island paradise before but now I kinda idk how to even run that now if it makes the game unplayable sucks a lot also just need a few mods to run sims 3 with buggy laggy mess so I need to know how to do that where to get them.

Also people say to get SSD to download documents on that and keep sims 3 on the HHD mess like wtf does that even mean like have sims 3 base on my main storage and have all my packs/mods on the SSD and link the two HOW AND WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN

and have my CPU and my graphics card be recognised by the sims 3 or force it and have certain settings both in game and my laptop too LIKE AGAIN WTF AM I DOING

Can somebody break all this down in like straight forward dot point like your speaking to a baby because it seems more work to just play sims 3 than what it worth I want nothing more to return back to good old sims 3 with all my favourite packs again I just don’t know how to do all these things just to run my packs the game and a small handle of mods too SOMEONE EXPLAIN

So, I’ve finally had enough of Don Lothario. In my current save, he’s been up to his usual tricks—messing with my Sim’s heart and generally being the menace of Riverview. I’m ready to give him a taste of his own medicine (and maybe a little more).

I’m looking for some mean ways to dish out what he does to our sims to him… to see how he likes it.

If anyone have any specific strategies for ruining Don’s life let me know!! Anything helps. (I swear I’m so tired of that man ruining my sims relationships)

Does anyone here play the PC version of TS3 on Android? What emulator are you using and how did you set it up? I tried running MrDJ version through GameHub and also Winalator (though, Winalator was a lot more confusing) but I kept running into errors through setup and launch. The copies I physically own are through EA app (discs) not Steam so I can't use the regular Steam launcher with GameHub.

I've been using Razer Cortex to stream my gaming PC but it uses WAY too much data and won't load on my work's internet. (I work 12-15hr shifts overnight, I just sit at a desk a lot with nothing better to do.)

My goal is to be able to play the PC version on my phone (Samsung S24 Ultra) with my bluetooth keyboard and mouse. I would love to buy a Steam Deck, but I recently got a NEW Nintendo 3DS LL so it's going to have to wait a bit.

I’m having problem with the fun bar won’t go down more than half. If I use testingcheats and lowers the fun below half way it automatically slowly start rising by itself until it’s at half again.

I’ve repair, reinstalled, used reset sim, used nraas mc to reset the whole town and nothing seems to fix it. I’ve tried a fresh save with only base game and the bug still presist.

Anyone else having the same problem or know a fix for it ? I scoured the internet and found a few post about it but no solution.

If my memory serves correct (from like 15 years ago) I remember when playing with world adventure, being on vacation the fun bar would not lower more than half, but now it happens in every world.

my game is also running like butt. errortrap is running overtime. what did i do this time

So, I have being playing the sims 3 since they came out (26F at the moment), but not in a constant way. I decided to replay it again 'cause kinda miss playing it (and TS4 are a bit boring thou I have more expansions than in TS3).

If anyone is interested in my way of playing, is quite caotic (love making dramas and creating stories of why my sims do things), how does anyone else play?

Hello TS3 gang,
My sims is a nectar farmer; he produces and sells nectar as a profession, which get promoted by number of nectar sold. And I figure out if my sims sells in the consignment store, the price sometimes better than if i just sell it immediately from my inventory. Also I kinda like extra moodlet if I sell in a good price. All is well until one day the person who suppose to be in consignment store cashier disappear even during working hours. Does anyone knows how to return them? Exit and reenter the game and changing household also dont solve this.

Ciao, ho il file per installare The Sims 3 Ultimate Collection di Elamigos che usai 10 anni fa. Ora ho cambiato pc, ho provato a reinstallarlo ma non funziona più: arriva fino alla schermata principale del gioco, ma quando premo su Play, non carica nulla. Ho seguito le istruzioni del video su YouTube per installarlo, ma non parte.
Qualcuno può aiutarmi?
