@JessPalhares If the base game can run on your computer, The expansions should also since there isn't much spec changes throught dlc contents in games. You can always check the requirements here http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri

Hi @JessPalhares

This isnt exactly true

While EA did in fact did not change the specs, they do in practice go up if you install many expansion packs.

So while a certain expansion may not increase them, if you have them all, you do need a better computer than if you only have the base game.

Also pets and seasons are more demanding then others.

To make sure it runs, it's best if you posted your DxDiag

To gather a DxDiag on your computer, please follow the steps here: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-3/HOW-TO-DxDiag-for-Sims-3-PC-Only/td-p/1049584/
