Sims 3- how many games exist?
Hey all. I was wondering how many Sims 3 games are out there? I tried googling the question but it doesn't give me a proper answer. I just want to know how many there are. Thanks!

@pinkgirlforyou I'm not sure whether you're asking about packs, or versions of the game itself. TS3 for mac/Windows has 11 EPs and 9 SPs, which you can find listed here, if you scroll down:

If you're asking about how many versions of TS3 exist for different platforms, here's a list with links:

I believe the mobile versions haven't been available for some time, and the online services for the console versions were cancelled a few months ago.
Thanks for responding! I meant for PC. 🙂 Ok so I saw there's like 16 of them, but two weeks ago while installing my Sims, I remember seeing a picture of a lady and a dragon, and it said it's a Sims 3 expansion pack or something like that. I'm wondering why people don't count it? Like I watched a guy review all Sims 3. I was waiting for the dragon one but he didn't mention it?
Or did I just see wrong and it was actually a Sims 4 or Sims 2 pack?
I'm so confused. I don't know where that pamphlet is now.

@pinkgirlforyou The lady and the dragon reference Dragon Valley, a Sims 3 world you can purchase through Origin and download through the store. Here's a list of all TS3 worlds:

Riverview is free; all others have to be bought with either SimPoints or cash. The store does add a lot of premium content, including the dragons, that doesn't come with the base game or any packs. (There's a separate premium content tab in the store as well, if you're curious.)
By the way, did you ever get your computer fixed? I'd be happy to help you with with the issues you were having before, if it's possible. I know the computer isn't online, but you can always run the dxdiag I described and then copy the most important information into a post here.
Oh yes! But Im not sure what exactly the problem was. My father replaced everything in the PC. Upgraded it. It cost him a lot. The PC had to be put in a bigger case haha. But finally it's working perfectly. It was probably because my PC was too standard and old.
So the reason I asked how many games exist, is because I want to collect them all. I'm missing like ten of them.
And according to my research, Sims 3 is ten times better than Sims 4. Haha.
@pinkgirlforyou I wholeheartedly agree that TS3 is much better than TS4. I'm much happier with the older game and all of its wonderful features than I ever could be with the newer iteration. But that's a completely different discussion.
I'd still like to know the specs of your computer, just to make sure the game doesn't damage the hardware. For example, if you have a strong graphics card, you'll need to cap your in-game frame rates, a weaker card will need protection in the form of lower graphics settings. The most important parts of the dxdiag are the processor and memory (right near the top), the graphics card (the first three lines under Display Devices, a couple of entries down from the top), and Disk & DVD/CD ROM Drives (about a third of the way down).
