Recently gone back to sims 3...
And asking myself every second why in the world I ever left it. :D When I was playing Sims 3, I hadn't collected all the packs (at least not the little ones), and I have to say I probably didn't ...

@nycbigl This is so great to hear, I don't really see a lot of people using CAW anymore (maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places?) but it's awesome that you were able to recreate the event you were unable to go to!
@Sharonia I feel you on that! I've had the game since release but I had just hit my teen years and was playing on my very first laptop which as I'm sure you can imagine did not run the game very well. How I played and powered through that amount of lag and loading time I'll never know, because I for sure couldn't do it now. I'm glad we're at least able to be an active part of the community during TS3 renaissance though!
I was a huge fan of the Sims 2 when it was the current game, I had a web site for it where I would share my custom clothes and I played it every day. I had been so looking forward to the Sims 3 when it was announced. I followed all the news about it and everything then on release day I got it and my computer graphics card could not handle it at all. I was actually devastated that I couldn't play it at the time.
We bought a new PC for it a few weeks or maybe months later with well over the recommended specs and even the new PC could not run it at a standard that I liked. It was laggy and I had to have the graphics on a setting that wasn't appealing to me. I eventually just gave up on trying to play it and moved onto other games.
I didn't return to the sims community until the Sims 4 Seasons released and I played that for like a year or more but I've really started to get bored of the game. It's lacking so much and I struggle to keep my attention on it. I've waited eleven years to be able to play the Sims 3 properly without lag and with the graphics settings on high but oh my it was definitely worth the wait. I am having so much fun. It keeps my attention and I love all the little details and the slightly more mature interaction animations between the sims and it doesn't seem to have any of the weird design choices that the Sims 4 has like those random situation outfits that drive me crazy and I love that.
