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

Same here.Mine may not be the best for TS3, but with a few tweaks here and there, I got to where I can play comfortably.

It's amazing how versatile TS3 is and the open worlds help in creating some unique storylines. :) Love this game. Plan to keep on playing it for as long as my computer will let me.

Can’t say Windows 10 gave me any problems with Sims 3.

I have no problems with sims 3 in Windows 10, I just don't like windows 10.

i don't like windows 10 either. i only boot it up for a couple of games. sims 3 being one.
i use linux as my main OS now (makulu, sometimes manjaro i switch between the two, sometimes steamOS too which is just debian)
dont like the way windows is heading. they want too much control and power over what i do with my own computer which i paid for. its mine my computer doesnt belong to Microsoft get your evil spyware and locked down content out of my face bill gates

Exactly why I want nothing to do with it.

Windows 10 pardon my French su’cks!! After pretty much every update I get a few surprises to deal with, last time it reset all my options settings in my saves. It came with my new laptop so I had no choice, it doesn’t have any issues with Sims 3 normally.

I have Windows 7 on my old laptop and Sims 3 still plays wonderfully!

I have Windows 10 and it works fine with Sims3. I just hate all of the extra "stuff" on my computer that it won't let me uninstall, like the Xbox apps. I don't have an Xbox.

Edit: Oh, and I love this game too. :smiley:

I, of course, love this game.

Windows 10, not so much. But then again, I'm a mac person, so that's not surprising. I will say that I've had almost no trouble playing TS3 via Bootcamp (the only reason I partitioned my macbook pro's hard drive in the first place). It was certainly a lot easier to get the game up and running in Windows than in mac OS, but that's a rant discussion for another section.

@Charlottesmom The update probably reset your options.ini file. You could always save a copy somewhere else and then replace the one in your game folder after the next update. But it's annoying that we even have to do that at all.

Any time your graphics drivers are updated, which sometimes happens with Windows updates, it always resets your game settings. What you need to do is save a backup of your options.ini file. Then after an update, either remove your The Sims 3 folder from your Electronics Arts folder in My Documents or change the name temporarily. Then let the game generate a new one. Open the Options.ini file from the new folder in notepad and find the place where it says "last device = " Copy the line of text after the "=" from the new folder and replace the text in your backup copy with it. Then save and copy that Options.ini file back into your temporarily renamed or moved folder, delete the new folder, and change your original folder back. Then your settings will be back to normal.
