I do, but I can't stand the lag- not to mention the game won't play on later devices.

Unless someone found out how to stop that? I love 3 so much, I have every expansion, except Sweet Treats. I bought Lunar Lakes and Hidden Springs, and can get neither one to show up in the menu screen to choose a town. :'(

Yes indeed they have! Seqr g it on Youtube there are many great resources and I enjoy a great time with sims3 now on a current system, with all the packs installed and running at once plus a lot of store content and mine is a gaming pc, but kinda barely, built it myself to save money and it's workable for a lot of things but nothing to brag ob or show proudly. I also got sims3 working on an older laptop using those nraas mods and the cache cleaning routine.

So you are in a good era for great Sims 3 gameplay!

My PC is used to build games, and it's at its peak right now. An update will kill playing TS3.

Lady Duchess, a TS3 modder, created the Sims 3 Smooth Patch, which for me personally makes my TS3 play smooth as buttah!

Here's also a very useful guide with links on how to optimize and make the game run better and be more stable. Most of what is in the article has already been mentioned in this thread, but if you want to read up on what/how it helps, this might help.

Well, you're spot on with that mod from Lazy Dutchess. I don't remember the last time it ever ran so smoothly!

Updating my PC is going to kill it, tho. Hopefully this issue gets fixed by someone. U doubt EA will since TS3 is old and they want money from new games.
