Unfornately they already installed Windows 8.1 So id i unfornatly cannot play The Sims 3 (i hope so). Then I should definately be able to play The Sims 4. Its just i looked up about how recent if any of these problems still existed. Hopefully The Sims 4 everyone should be able to play and it won't be little to no bugs.
I can tell you we are all hoping there are no bugs in the sims 4 and crossing fingers your game runs on 8.1. Since you havent played in a while we now have origin my advice is that you play on download versions rather than disc. You get free download verisons when you register your disc. I use all downloads, made sure I had no securiy on when I downloaded so nothing would interfear with my game installation. I used firefox and had no issue downloading at all. We now only patch the base game, and you just add eps after you patch the game and EP's on download do not have to be downloaded in any order.
- I was a bit disappointed when i heard about the no disc thing. I'm the type to like to have a copy on hand lol. I havent played since The Sim 2. So I've been out of this game for some time and kind of just in time for 4. As of probably next month ppl will probably stop creating things for The Sims 3. 4 does look good but there's some things I've read that (hasnt been offically confirmed I'd say rumors) that I probably wouldn't like but atleast I will be joining everyone this time around I hope. LOL
Well since they added origin you might see some disc players in here having issues so I find download easier. I have the old disc versions that dont require origin but on my new computer I have a blu ray and I would rather the game disc versions not go in my disk drive.
Bookmark this link, when you get your computer, make sure you turn off all securtiy, download origin client with firefox first https://www.origin.com/en-us/download
You open Origin at desktop and your download versions of the game will be in my games. Download the base game, make sure it patches to 1.67. You patch number will show in the bottom left hand corner of the launcher of your base game. If the game does not patch to 1.67 use the superpatcher http://help.ea.com/en/article/the-sims-3-super-patcher/
Test out your base game make sure everything is running correctly before installing any Ep's. Then add your ep's one by one and test them so yo know each one is running correctly. This takes time but in the end if you test out everything one by one if you get any errors it will be easier to find the cause
Yes with 4 they are only showing us little things. I would like to see some game play before I decide to buy it. Im still undecided. They are coming out with a few more things in the sims store for sims 3 but they are not adding any more EPs. Im still playing 3 and not sure I'm ready for 4 yet. LOL
- That was my plan i don't think I'll get all the games since 4 will be out soon. that is the plan start off with the base and go from there and thank you
