Any Sims fans?

The Sims 3 is hells of addicting but my computer can barely run it even without any expansion packs.

I have yet to try out The Sims 4 but I get the feeling that it won't run any better. Can't blame EA when I'm running a 5-year-old HP Slimline.

I would binge play Sims growing up. I had the complete Sims Collection, Sims 2, and Sims 3. The original Sims was the funniest/most fun for me, but I love the Sims 3 graphics. I built houses more than anything else in Sims 3.

These are some interiors I did for a small cabin house.

I played Sims 4 briefly to test it out and I love/hated everything about it hahaha. I couldn't get past the building mode...it was so difficult to figure out. I'm sure if I had the patience to teach myself everything I would love it but...

I'm sorry, but I don't! I'll definitely think about it, though.

@Elise They're not selling pools as an extra add-on LOL it's called a patch/update I bought most of my stuff when it was on sale. Origin and EA games have so many sales throughout the year - Summer sale, New year sale, Black Friday sale and random sales. I got so many of my expansion packs for Sims 3 for $5 each when they had a sale. You don't have to buy Sims packs right off the bat. All of my Sims collections run perfectly on my laptop. I have no problem with how the game runs I could care less about pools because it's nice to see houses and lots without an obnoxiously placed pool. But it's a good add on. A lot of game companies are greedy but you don't have to buy from them haha. Some people think that developing games, making art, editing shiz is super easy, try it for yourself. EA games is making a lot of money, I don't mind.

Y'all don't have to constantly complain about it either in a Sims fan thread!

Oh ok, it just looked like a paid add on, like what they did with cow plants in Sims 3 but my mistake. I and a lot of people have trouble with glitches in Sims 3 so that is definitely a valid complaint. You are really lucky that yours runs perfectly. I haven't bothered to do much research about Sims 4 because I couldn't play it even if I wanted to because it's not available on Mac and the PC I use for Sims 2 is probably too old to run it. It just appeared from what I had seen that they had left out a lot of features that are usually present in base games and it looks like not much of an improvement from Sims 3.

Look, don't get me wrong. I am a huge fan of the Sims as a whole which is actually the reason why I'm so critical of EA and I'm sure that's the case for a lot of others that have made complaints here. I know they have made an amazing game and I completely agree that they deserve to have a lot of money. However, I also think that they should be held at a high standard in terms of the quality of their games because they set the bar so high for themselves with Sims 1 and 2.

I actually have a relatively high tolerance for company greed but only if the extra money I am spending is going to get me something that I see as valuable and worth the cost. A lot of people say making so many expansions is greedy, which is true to an extent, but I also will buy all of them if they add something worthwhile to the game. However, in the case of Sims 3, a couple of the expansions causes a lot of extra issues with my game and I know I am not alone in experiencing this. When that happens I feel quite cheated and like EA is being greedy for creating an add on that is not up to scratch and expecting people to pay for it.

I really hope that Sims 4 runs more smoothly than Sims 3. If it does I will definitely consider getting it eventually.

I finally got my old XP desktop working and I can play the Sims 2 UC now! It's a bit difficult to figure out though, but I love it so far <3

The Urbz: Sims in the City - anyone besides crumbs and I play that here?

I'd rather replay the Urbz and listen to that soundtrack than just about any other Sims game. Although I was tempted to hop into Sims 4, before I heard how lacking it was.

Played it on DS!

I've been playing The Sims 2 UC and The Sims 3 all expansions
I've bee in love with the Sims franchise since I was a widdle girl :3 but...
I just can't get into the Sims 4
