sims 3 on window 11

They better not force me to upgrade my pc, I'm happy with windows 10.LOL

Commented this on the other thread as well but I downloaded 11 the other day and it's been working great! No issues at all, in fact it's the opposite, the game even boots up faster than it did on 10 :)

An unofficial beta version?

There are people inside the Windows Insider program that get to test drive early versions but must be careful in what they discuss for I believe they have an confidentiality clause where they can't discuss info on Win 11.

It's the official software but it's an early version that leaked last week. It seems mostly what was shown in the Windows 11 trailer, so I don't expect the game will break when the final version comes out to the public. There is an updated official public beta available now though but I haven't got that to work

@onverser How are the graphics? Can you show us some close up pics of sims’ faces (in light and dark conditions) and plain colored walls?

i'll be carrying on a two-decade old tradition.
skipping windows 11 and will upgrade to windows 12 when/if it's out

this is how my windows history has been:

95
skip NT
98
skip ME
XP
skip vista
7
skip 8
10
skip 11

it's worked for me in the past i see no reason to change habits now :D

Win NT wasn't a successor to Win 95, it was a parallel track for business use. It later became Win 2000, and is now what we call Win x Pro or Enterprise. Its historical versions were more stable and provided things for corporate networks that home users don't necessarily need like the ability to log into a domain controlled by a server (domain controller).

I wouldn't necessarily have wanted to play games on NT or 2000 though, because that isn't what they were really designed for. I saw a lot of people bring home their office computers still running Win 2000 after their offices upgraded their hardware and they were totally stumped by what seemed like them to be a successor to Win 98 but it really was something quite different.

As for skipping over ME, Vista, and Win 8, my official assessment is that you didn't miss a single thing by doing that other than pain and frustration. :)

I have also skipped every other Windows version, but I don't think Microsoft made Vista and 8 bad on purpose. :tongue: I will wait for Windows 11 to come out and check the reviews before I decide if I want it or not. I'm relieved that they are not going for a subscription based OS. I hate when companies do that, like with Microsoft Office and the recent versions of Photoshop Elements. I don't want to "rent" software.

I hope it will, and that MS won't try to break more things than necessary. :worried: No one knows much about Windows 11 yet, so it's hard to tell and we can only guess. I'm not going to upgrade if I can't play Sims 3 on it, that's for sure! So I'll wait until I know for certain.

I'm wondering the same thing since MS will retiring Win10 come October 2025.
