I love this game!

I agree, I have been playing since sims 1, 2, 3 and have never grown tired of it. I have played sims 4 but it is not the same.

I agree. I started playing TS3 in 2010 when I was just a kid, that's probably why I love it so much. Growing up with the game and exploring every single detail of it was super fun. Not to mention the open worlds, story progression, etc. These two things are probably why I'll never really like TS4 as much as TS3.

I love sims 3 so much I will never get tired of it. I too tried #4 and it's just not the same. The world feels dead and other sims just feel like zombies. They don't even have lives of their own, it's like they only exist if you're within their radius.

With Sims 3 (+NRAAS) they exist, they're real. You could be at home cleaning your counter.. but they're out partying somewhere, having babies, getting married, going to work.. you can click on any community lot and you'll see them there.. living, without you, you're not needed, you're just.. part of the world instead of just being THE world like in S4. Things happen because they want it to happen. They don't happen because You want it to happen. It just feels so much more immersive and real, I love booting up my town and I love my Sims and I love my neighbours.

I feel the same as the rest of you. I plan to keep playing Sims 3 for the rest of my life, even if I have to someday play it on a virtual PC because my computer hardware needs to be replaced and there is no longer any Windows 7 compatible hardware available.

You know, Win 7 wasn't even released yet when TS3 first came out. In theory, we should all be playing on Win XP or Vista. ;)

Rumor has it that Win 10 likes to mess with players' games sometimes, but it's not nor should it be incompatible.

I always fear this when my computer updates.I finally have my game running well, and my biggest fear is I'll get some huge update to my laptop and make my game go wonky.XD

Actually, @igazor, it's that I have no intention of ever going past Windows 7, because what my IT tech son has told me about Windows 8 and 10, I want nothing to do with them. So if someday I can't get hardware compatible with Windows 7, I'll be doing EVERYTHING on a virtual PC. I already use a Windows XP virtual PC for my programs that can't be used on Windows 7. Adding another is no big deal. My son prefers Linux, but he has to be familiar with all versions of Windows for his work.

<--- Windows 10 :p

I miss sims 3 so much. It will always be my favorite game. I had to stop playing after my desktop computer had a unfortunate meeting with a toddler sippy cup. Apparently the cup was very full and the lid was very loose. Luckily my nephew is also very cute.

I have recently been playing sims 4 which was installed on the laptop. I am starting to enjoy it more but it will never replace the feel and the playability of sims 3.

I'm not fond of Win 10 and I don't even know if this laptop is really ideal for TS3 but it's been doing great for 2 years so I can't complain. A daily dose of TS3 keeps me happy :D
