Hope this makes sense and I hope that this will help you.
From what you said, I must inform you right away that it will be very difficult to play The Sims 3 in your brother's computer, it doesn't even near meet the minimum system requirements so right away I can say that there is no use in trying to install it in his computer.
Your laptop also doesn't meet the minimum system requirements but if you change the settings in the options menu in the game to the minimum them you should only have minor issues. This won't stop from installing the game in your laptop, just wanted to give you a feedback first. I will need to search a few things and will try to give you an answer later.
Edit:
- Click Start and then type cmd in the Search box and press ENTER.
- A black window will open, type sfc /scannow (type it exactly as I wrote)
When the scan is complete, test to see if you can install the game.
Thank you,
I have tried to do the cmd scan, however when I type in 'sfc/scannow', This message pops up that says, you must be an administrator running a console session in order to use the sfc utility. What Does This mean? Does This mean that I have to have sims running when I do the scan?
Thank you for continuing to look for solutions to try and help me 😕mileyhappy:
I also sometimes get the a message when I am playing on my sims game that shuts the sims game down and the screen goes blank, after a few seconds it takes me back to my homescreen on my laptop and then it say windows is looking for a solution to the sims 3- sims 3 is having a problem. This has also lead to me not be able to play on one of my accounts at all because every time I log on I will play for a few seconds and This message will happen and sims will crash. I am not sure if This will have anything to do with me not being able to install some of my sims 3 game.
