      @victiusplays Cool! I'm still playing it on locked 60fps. It's still smooth though with drops around 40fps every once in a while (vanilla Sims 3). I did try to play it on 144fps but I kind of had this anxiety it'll fry my unit. Not a tech savy here, just read it in forums & stuff. I have rtx 3060m btw, playing it on a laptop.

    Yeah, I think you are over exaggerating the lag that the game has. I've played this game since 2009 with most, if not all the expansions and i've had little to no lag. That's even using integrated graphics from the era the game came out. Heck, I did the supposed performance fix that is on steam and it actually makes the game perform worse on my modern hardware. Until I did the "essential" performance mods, my game never lagged at all like it does now. I'm going to have to remove some of those changes...

  • @Rawwr1ful

    Sims 3 felt like pretty much everything great about sims 2 but modernised with the open world etc. Sims 4 (especially at launch but even now) feels like a step back in so many ways.

  • @iluvmybleach
    @iluvmybleach 4 วันที่ผ่านมา

    If your computer is fairly optimized its not always so bad to play with multiple or all expansions and lots of CC. It's worth a shot, just need to make sure you [save as] a new game everytime (just number them) or that can cause bloated files over time.

  • @codycasey4906
    @codycasey4906 4 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Funny note about the aging system in this game. You can skip an entire age (i.e. Going from young adult to elder) by letting the sim age naturally and then blow out the candles right after. Lmao. Did this on accident the other day and thought it was hilarious how the daughter suddenly became older than her parents.

But I installed the update, then I had to approve playing sims 3 on this PC by writing my log in information and voila, it worked. IT's not so long since I tried it last time, so it's possible this patch came AFTER this video was uploaded.

    Joguei o The Sims 3 por anos, depois migrei para o TS4, senti a diferença no início pelos gráficos e o estilo cartoon. Mas sinceramente, o jogo não rende, não desenvolve. Achava que era eu quem não sabia explorar como deveria. Mas no fim, desistia da família e criava outra. O mundo não ser aberto, interferia muito, já que no TS3 havia essa experiência de explorar a cidade, andar de carro, cavalo, skate, bicicleta e se fosse um bruxo, voar na vassoura e se fosse no futuro, pegar um foguete propulsor e voar nele. Depois de muito tentar, instalei o TS3 novamente. E revendo o jogo e todas as suas possibilidades, percebi que o 3 é o melhor. Incomparável, se fosse atualizado nos gráficos ele ficaria perfeito.
