Can EA Pls Remaster or Rerelease Sims 3!?
For about a year now, I’ve been wanting to play the Sims three on my PC, however, it is a Windows 11 PC and I did download the base game or the starter pack, but it doesn’t run well on my PC. I don’t want to use any mods or that patch that was updated earlier this year that kind of helps with the issue because I don’t feel comfortable doing that to my PC that I had for about a year now and I do like and feel more comfortable with vanilla gameplay. It just sucks that the first two sim games are released and I have downloaded one of them-the Sims 2. However, it gets pretty boring super quickly because it’s not like the Sims three nor the Sims four where the jobs are somewhat active or when it comes to promotion, you have to level up to a certain scale or more in order to achieve it. I do like the business pack, but again there’s not really much you can do in that game plus you can’t really control your Sims life the gender of the baby like the Sims 3 & 4. We already know Sims four isn’t doing that well and is very greedy about that game in particular. It just doesn’t make any sense that they’re trying to remaster that game when they have one game that is pretty old that should’ve been released with the Sims 1 and 2. But I guess because since it was open world and a lot of people really enjoying that game, they didn’t want to risk doing that because I know that nobody people wanna play the Sims four anymore. Sims 3 is just way better than the Sims 4!! I feel mad jealous that those who grew up with the time when three was popular and was available to download and play on the newer PCs of the time because I can’t do that. And with pretty much my generation, we’re stuck with the Sim four and that game sucks for multiple reasons, most I’m pretty sure everyone knows and have experienced too while playing the game. EA if you’re reading this, please please PLEASE remaster and or rerelease Sims 3!! You might make a lot more money off of that than you had with Sims 4 & I really want to play that game so badly because it seems a lot more fun than any of the other sim games, in my opinion. If you truly cared, then you would or will rerelease that game!!
Sim eating whole tree?
Anyone else had this happen? Occasionally, when telling my Sim to eat something while away from home, she'd walk over to a fruit tree (with corresponding eat fruit interaction queued), pick something invisible off the ground and eat it. And should I then save and reload the game afterwards, affected plant (still standing there just prior) has disappeared. In other words, my Sim effectively consumed not just one single piece of fruit but an entire tree. Edit: I had this happen in Sunset Valley Central Park, no sure why it got moved here
Just a little appreciation post for The Sims 3's beautiful world
It makes me so happy to see people still loving this game in 2025. I only started playing about two years ago even though I knew about it for way longer. I know it's a really old game but honestly the sims 3 has been the best therapy for me. It always makes me believe that the world is good and our lives are full of sunshine. No matter how down or sad I am as soon as I hear the sims 3 background music I just instantly feel happy. With amazing soundtracks like Verisimilitude and Fortissimo Personality I feel like I'm temporarily transported to another world in the game another world where I exist (even if it's just virtual). The world of the sims 3 is a utopia everything in it is cute sunny and positive. From a software engineering perspective the game isn't perfect it has a lot of unreasonable things that are a headache for players and even with a bunch of mods you can't make the game completely satisfying. But we can't deny the positive impact it has on a player's spirit. I haven't played the sims 3 in a long time because I don't want to get too dependent on its perfect world. The gap between the virtual world and reality can make you cry and the withdrawal you feel after quitting the game is a real headache too. Of course this might have something to do with where I live.
Friends?
Hey there, hope everyone is doing okay. Sorry if this is a little weird, but would anyone like to be friends on the sims 3 lol? I've always wanted to use the game in the way I could send my friends gifts in game and attach little messages, but I have nobody to chat to currently. If you'd like to become friends and say hi from time to time in game, just let me know by replying to this post. Have a good day/night!
Story Progession advice?
Hi I have a legacy family I am almost determined in future to only let my sims have 1 child as I get too attached to both ad my lifespan is epic (odd for a legacy player I know) so I know them a long time. Main issue is the ones moved out never progress beyond howfar I've progressed them they may change careers to something non player controlled if its something like painting but they never get promoted even if workoholics, they never have children unless I switch and direct them to even if their traits would indicate they would want children and I make sure before leavvig them they have the means such as a crib and baby stuff and settled careers. They just stagnate in limbo after I leave....and I hate it I have thought about story progression mod but worried as my game lags slightly already and don't want to upset a game that can already be temperamental when its been running so well aside from occasional lagging. Awesome mod I know is less intensive on resources but also less customisiable and would need to learn more I want the other sibling to have a life too as well without me worrying about and micro managing them, so if any people see this have experience with these mods could give advice would be appreciated, also if there are any other alternatives I don't know of also feel free to suggest. I would keep them with me but you hit the 8 sim limit quickly that way and I know there are mods around this but they can cause their own issues (i've heard your save/ game is more likley to corrupt if you break the limit via mods)
Please help
I have created a new family, when the wife went into labor, she kept having babies, before restarting the game she ended up having 11 babies back to back. I have moved her out of her household and back in. I have switched to a different household, and came back after she had a baby, but when she was having another baby, it happened again; she was having lots of babies back to back. I have also restarted the game multiply times. I do not want to delete this game, as I have made significant progress already, how do I fixed this glitch? Thank you
