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
Your Welcome and also when you get your computer, you need to do certian things with your video card to accept the game. After you install the base game, you need to go into your Nvidia control panel, under 3D settings scroll down to vertical sync and switch vertical sync to adaptive. This keeps your fps in game at 60 so your card wont overheat .Also you have to add the game file to your Nvida Control panel again uder 3D settings. Your game file will be the TS3W file. Locate the game file through your Nvida control pannel and add it. How to find the TS3W file. Computer C to the programs x86 file, to origin games file, to the sims 3 file, to game file to the bin file. In the bin file you will find the TS3W file and that is the file that runs the game.
