How well is the sims 3 optimized on modern PC?

I'm thinking about buying this game, but I've seen posts of people reporting that they have constant crashes in this game on modern CPU and GPU.

    I can count the number of crashes I've had on one hand in the six years I've had my gaming PC, in large part because I use the mods that make the game more stable and I don't overload my saves past the point that they can function.

    If you'd like help getting your game set up, feel free to ask for help with any part of the process.

    Meh, I don't have time and patience to mess up with thousands of mods in order to play a game. Thanks anyway.

  • 0345783954098542  It's more like four to six mods, depending on which expansions you have installed.  Everything else is totally optional.  Even the "necessary" mods aren't absolutely essential; they just help a lot.  And they do their work on their own, without player input, so you install them and you're done.
