I can't believe how great Sims 3 is..!!

So I've always had sims 3 but I never bought all the expansion packs. I now have all except showtime but guys I never knew how much fun I would really have playing this game. I'm so mad I wasted so much money on TS4. I got allll the packs for that game and I get sooo bored but I haven't finished collecting the rest of the packs for Sims 3 and I'm having the time of my life. It's so refreshing to play something that can take my mind off of reality for HOURS.. It's so many things I didnt know was possible like downloading worlds or getting cool new things in the sims store. I feel like I'm never gonna have a reason to get bored. It's just too much to do lol

    There's 11 EPs, the store and Stuff Packs as well...though you might have to go hunting on Ebay for Katy Perry Sweet Treats. Yep...tons of fun. My wife has more SPs than me (I only have High End Loft Stuff) and I have the entirety of the EPs while she picked and chose what EPs she wanted.

    Welcome to the Sims 3 section of the Forums. Hope you have fun with the game.

    Oh...and don't forget to download NRAAS Master Controller, Error Trap and Overwatch. They'll keep your game steady. You'll still get Error 12 "out of memory " crashes (it's 32 bit coding...can't help it). But use "save as" and keep multiple saves...at every crucial point in your game and you should be fine.
  • Stay away from the mods, they will ruin your life. First you're just trying some of them out and are impressed, then you assist some other players who have questions, and the next thing you know you're helping to run the site that provides them. It's just not worth it, 1/10, cannot recommend. >:)

    (of course I didn't mean a single thing I just said, it's those generic brand allergy pills making me act all goofy again...) :p
  • @alwaysraee ... Welcome to the forums, and I'm glad you are having fun.

    You are in for treat.
    I cannot imagine what it would be like getting everything at once.
    I started playing Sims 3 years ago, built my collection of expansions a bit at a time ...
    And still keep finding new and exciting things to explore.

    If I had gotten all that at once, I might have had a hard time getting anything done around the house ... :D


    @igazor ... Hugs Sweetie ... <3

    You have been a real blessing, and pretty much everyone knows it.
    You have the patience of a saint at times as well.

    I don't know what some of us would do without you, and telling you how much you are appreciated ...

    Whoa ... Did someone put whiskey in my coffee?
    Where the hell's that hammer?

    Happy Simming!

  • @alwaysraee Welcome to the forums :) I've been playing since the game came out and still haven't tried all the EPs. I have owned all of them for some time but have only been installing a new one every other year or so. I don't think I will ever tire of this game and even with the EPs I have installed I am finding new things all the time. I have all of the SPs with the exception of Movie Stuff and most of the Store. There's so much in this game to keep my attention for a long time to come.

    @BlackSand Why would you dilute your whisky? Heck I won't even add water or ice to mine! ;) I agree that igazor is a blessing :)

    :neutral: All this talk about alcohol...and I'm on the freakin' wagon. :p I'm annoyed, y'all. :mrgreen: Blood Pressure medications took me out of imbibing alcohol.

    @alwaysraee - don't mind us. we're always hijacking threads and having fun in them teasing each other playfully. That's what you'll find about the Sims 3 forums. We're all about just having a good time.
