OMG I'm soo happy

I pulled mine out a few years ago and tried playing it but it was still a mess. CAS took forever to load, the lag was insane, build mode was impossible, and like it did all those years ago, crashed to home after like 30 minutes. I was never able to get that game to work sadly.

You could still try it, maybe it will work for you. I've seen some screenshots of people playing it so maybe they just didn't stay in build mode too long, or maybe there's workarounds now to get it better optimized, I'm not too sure, I just never looked further into it. All I can say is I tried it on my Xbox 360 Slim and it was still unplayable for me unfortunately.

I will buy it cheap second hand ?

Sims 3 is laggy even on a gaming rig.

I just found my old xbox 360 and it still works ? happy days, I was wondering for anyone that's played the sims 3 on console what's it like ?

I love the Sims 3 on console! I was addicted and would literally rush home from work to play. I couldn't put it down.

I never had those issue but I was on PlayStation

Edit: I did have those issues on the Sims 3 pets but that was a standalone game

It has been awhile, and I believe I was playing on PS3 and not my 360, but I remember running into a horrible bug that would not allow me to save my game. I don't believe it was ever fixed either, which is why I moved over to Sims 3 on PC, and will never touch another Sims game on any console.

I play on PC it’s fun ;)

All of the sims games on console until TS3 worked great, TS3 was just horrible. I remember the save bug too, it would just crash the game if you tried saving. All of the items in CAS would take forever to load and scroll through, and I swear at most I'd get like 15 fps lol. Just activating build mode took like 45 seconds to engage. I tried different discs, wiping and resetting the entire console fresh, doing all updates available, nothing. I was surprised when I tried again not that long ago only to find they never fixed the issues with it.
