How To Correctly Furnish An Apartment Building

lol high five Maria1307 :D I guess my problem might be that I used to play the sims wayy too much and now I don't care what EP I get the game gets more and more repetitive for me, I'm just patiently well not really patiently waiting for the Sims3 to come out but I heard just a handful of people will be able to run it on their systems because the requirements are so un-real, I mean you would have to be a Rockefella to have such a high end machine to run all that crap why couldn't they just make it simple ran like the Sims2? stupid money grubbing Maxis %$#@! :p

Another high five then, as playing-wise, whenever a new EP came out, I pretty much did everything there was new to do in a few days, spending long hours before the pc and then everything was: I did it already, how many times can you do the same thing over and over?
I'm waiting for Sims 3 as well, it might not be that long till they come out, but for me it seems like ages still. As for the requirements, I read the official ones and they're not really that unreal. Actually, concerning what kind of hardware is available nowadays, they're quite dissapointing. TS3 requires barely a 128MB graphics card and Pixel Shader 2.0 - cards like that were standard (or almost standard) in the time when TS2 came out, and that was 5 years ago. It requires also a 2.0 GHz P4 processor - it's the age of Dual Core and Quad processors, not to mention COREi7. Next thing is the RAM, TS3 requires minimum 1GB of RAM - RAM isn't expensive nowadays, and even in a 32bit Windows XP you can install up to 2GB (there's an issue that 32bit XP doesn't want to read in more). Now, disc space, TS3 requires 6,5 GB minimum - that's really not much since hard drives sold now in newer computers using SATA are usually 512 GB, not to mention ones that have 1TB - which is over a thousand GB - while, older pc still using ATA, well, the prices of those hard drives went down a lot and the smallest size available for ATA nowadays is 160 GB I think.
With that type of requirements, I think actually, many people WILL be able to play TS3. I bought a new pc not long ago, and to tell the truth, what EA offers with these requirements is dissapointing to me, concerning the evolution of easily accessable technology and comparing to for example what Rockstar Games offered with Grand Theft Auto 4 and its advanced graphics quite recently.

Well then thats good news for me then ;D but I will more than likley have to go buy some additonal RAM because I have every EP but Bonvoyage and the other ones are just in there cases I switch around when I get tired of the other EP's which right now all I have on my computer is Sims2 DD, (which basically is The Sims 2 Base, Nighlife,and Celebrations Stuff Pack) Seasons, OFB,Apartment Life thats all my poor machine can handle... well it could probably stand 5 EP's installed but my game would lag really bad so I will have to do a backup all my saved games and everything and uninstall EVERYTHING just to be able to run the Sims3 :-\ and more than likely that still won't be enough and I will have to go buy more RAM for my machine just to keep it up
Maria1307:
Well, if you're not sure how well your machine can handle Sims 3, check and post your system specs - you'll find them in the Control Panel --> System and they'll be on the right in the window that pops up - and I can tell you, what might need boosting for TS3 to run smoothely. :)
