  • How to play The Sims 3 on Windows Vista Starter?

  • @TzortzinaErk Not sure if I understand you, but I'll try to help you as best as I can:

    If you have a shortcut on the desktop, just double-click it, and when a window pops up, press the big Play-button.

    If there's no shortcut, it should be located in the start-menu (lower left corner button with the Windows-logo). Click it, click "All Programs", open "Electronic Arts", and there should be The Sims 3. Then, press the big Play-button.

  • @Operational117 thanks for help!

  • @TzortzinaErk No problem. :)

  • @TzortzinaErk Otherwise you can locate it inside "C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin". In there, you just double-click a file called Sims3Launcher.exe. That should work magic.

    If, however, you don't even HAVE the "The Sims 3"-map, you simply haven't installed it, and have to in order to play it.

    It's a little hard to understand what you wrote, so please clarify if this wasn't what you meant.

  • The sims 3 is working now.

    I got a new laptop

    :)

  • I will sub now

  • y y you're the the goth people family??? YOU GUYS CREEP ME OUT i was playing at you're house whit your sims there kinda weird

  • @cinnabonsoftware You do know they're "premade" and "pre-moved-in", right? Everyone can play them, if they know how to switch to them.

    Sorry if it sounds "captain-obvious"-like, but your comment is a bit hard to understand... but don't worry, your comment's not the first one I've had problems to understand. :)

  • Correction, she does NOT have problems with her mood, she has the "Grumpy" trait. And so does Gunther.

  • Do they have seasons in here

  • @bubblegurl8

    No... no seasons at all... but they do allow you to plant and harvest potatoes, tomatoes etc.! Something that "was" in the Seasons expansion pack for The Sims 2! Though no grass sims.

  • awesome ghrapics!!

  • i bought the sims 3 and it doesn't wanna work on my laptop after it was installed i tried to open it it gave me a message that said:: the sims 3 launcher has stopped working :(

  • me too but i install it on my computer it dosnt work it say the sims 3 launcher stopped working too

  • @superzero123 There are a number of things that can cause this: outdated graphics driver, poor computer (i.e. doesn't even meet the minimum requirements) and insufficient rights by the computer to run it are a few examples. Now these cases vary from computer to computer.

  • @Operational117 Main rule for the first example is to keep the driver up-to-date. For the second example, an upgrade is necessary. The third example is a bit more complex: if you're not the owner of the computer, you must ask for permission to run it on the computer. If you don't get permission to run it on the computer, you're outta luck.

    As I said, these are only a few examples of what may be causing this. In the end, if none of these work, try and reinstall the game. Works sometimes.

  • The reason the computers in sims 1 are lower and sims 3 higher is probably some political, apocoliptic type thing.

  • Yeah, as long as it's left unexplained, you can try and forge an explanation.

    I think that in TS3, the computers were under a test-phase, trying to create a "multi-purpose" laptop. However, they seemed inefficient in all but two things: gaming AND normal computer usage, and had to discard it. That's one out of many explanations.

    Then again, the best reason is most likely that when TS1 came out, laptops were just under development, and weren't cool enough to make the cut

  • The laptops of today are rather advanced, and MUCH more "in". Most people have one nowadays, even I, even my mom, and my grandmother... :P

  • I agree. And my grandparents have laptops too. So I guess that answers that.

  • how do you upload this becuase i've used the in-game video capture mode and ive tried uploading the video to youtube but it seems like it takes forever and it never really finishes i have to cancel the upload b/c it makes my other windows run slow as hell so yea give me some tips please i'd appreciate it :D

  • The slower the upload speed, the slower the upload goes (you should know that). If, for instance, you have an upload speed of 512 kbit/s, and the file is approximately 100 MB in size, it would take almost half an hour. If the upload makes the other computers run slow, try on another computer (if you have one). If you don't have, then upload it when you're supposed to do something else (and it takes long enough time for the upload to be finished when you return).

  • Also, what quality do you record the video? If it's "Very High" (or "uncompressed"), the file would become almost infinitely big! Try "High" or even "Medium". Saves you a lot of space and time. If it's already on "High" or lower, you should be ready to upload the video.

  • i love the sims 3. It runs ok on my comp, but it doesnt even reach requirments! @ 1:52, yea thats bad logic. almost as bad as Kaylynn being a chils with Bella and Mortimer! But I think she just drank a Life Elixir

  • magachoochoo

    this masage was wretten in simlish

  • I love that game!I play at every time The Sims 3,i can't with her

  • my computer plays it well slow this makes the game boring to wait for them to do some thing good thing I'm getting a faster one in November or December.

  • hiya what pc do u have? cuz i wanna get 1 like yours

  • yeah but hasnt the Goth family aged? i mean.. morty was an old man in the sims2.. cassandra was an adult.. bella went missing... and cassandra had a little bro called alexander, it doesnt make sense mortimor should have died or something and bella should of aswll +cassandra get old but have a child wich don lothario but have another child with the other dude wholikes painting?

  • This game takes place "before" The Sims 1, remember. Here, Mortimer is a child. Bella is a child too!

    In short: The Sims 3 precedes The Sims 1.

  • "I'M NOT LITLE!" LOL

    I've already played with the Goths in TS3 (Morty is too cute! *-*), and it's very strange because in the first time we play, they are all in front of the garage with a good mood face, but a litle seconds later, they make a a kind of a very angry face 0_0' I know it's because ther traits, but it's so... intresting.

    I love Mortimer parents style and the house is just amazing! I think this is the best premade family ever!! =)

  • MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEE MOOOOOOOOOOOOREEEEEE!!!!! please

  • lol in my game Morty married Kaylinn (A.I controlled) and Bella....is going out with Mary (lol A.I controlled). Mary is the daughter of Morganna and Thornton Wolff.

  • I have The Sims 1, 2 and now 3. If you have followed this Family from 1 - 3 you know a lot about this family. It's pretty cool that they put in this family even in the third game. :) I have played this family pretty much now in the sims 3.. Mortimers parents died :\ They were too old.. :P Anyway.. Great vid :D

  • Comment removed

  • As your sims grow up, like Mortimer for example, are you going to do the same thing... like is Mortimer going to get married to Bella and then they are going to have kids called Cassandra and whatever the other one was called? Good gameplay. :D

  • No. The story is up to you:

    You can either make Mortimer marry someone else, or make him marry Bella, or make him not marry anyone at all!

    Even if you DO decide to marry Bella, you can still give birth to a girl named Sally, for example, instead of Cassandra. Or make them not get a single child!

    But everything is up to you. Absolutely everything. Except how the neighborhood looks like.

  • Yeah I know. I had Sims 2. What I mean is are YOU going to do that? Which family is this family in? Can you somehow give a tour of the other village? I want to see who is in that one. Haha. :)

  • Oh me? Yeah. I probably would. I always go by the stories. And yes. I will probably be making gameplay videos of Riverview. At this time, however, I am focused on the Sunset Valley.

  • cool house

  • I didn't make it, but yep, it is cool. :)

  • I am not little lol!

  • What did you use to record it?

  • The built-in recorder for the game. Not any buggy free screen recorders.

    To record, just press the button with an old-style (like 1920s style) video camera on the lower leftmost of the interface. The edges will be filled with a yellow line, with a red 1920s-style video camera at the upper rightmost corner.

    You can also change the time limit for the videos in seconds at the Options-menu. I have set it to a standard of 600 seconds, or exactly 10 minutes, the video length limit on YouTube.

  • I mean a white 1920s-style video camera when recording.

  • xD Mortimer looks weird

  • MORE MORE MORE!!

  • LOL tahts Mortimer? I thought that it was Mortimers son who had a son...lol I didnt really pay attention when I was reading their description for them on the Sims 3...

  • Yeah, that's the cool part: Mortimer is a child. Even better: his future wife is too! But I won't spoil anymore of it.

  • I mean i already have the game...but...spoil it for me! please?
