Stopped working recently due to EA game launcher nonsense.

Quite possibly the best video game ever once you install an extended sliders mod. I've made so many gross rat-freaks and had them live casual lives inside shoebox homes, it's tear-jerking.

If TS4 had the details of TS2, open world of TS3, graphics and build of TS4. Then maybe it would have been one of the greatest The Sims game, but I can assure that TS3 still is the best The Sims game so far! Its a game that I can spend hours, when possible I even spend the whole day of joyful game play and get immersed in it. My advice is: don't spend your money buying The Sims 4, what I suggest is search for reviews and game play to be sure if you're willing to play it. Same goes to any game in general, but I assure that if you acquire The Sims 3 it will be worth it, well spent money and great source of entertainment through game! P.S. Here on Stream you will find cheaper prices than the ones available on EA, amazon etc.. this is something I researched about it and even consulted with ChatGPT about it. I had the whole collection from TS2 and TS3 after they were launched, back then it was still CD, after a while I wasn't able to download the game and all DLC's on different computers I ...

its iconic that a game this old turns my gaming laptop into a heating pad and white noise from the fans.

This game is addictive and has the possibility to ruin you financially.

Literally unplayable. Bought this game and several of the dlcs years ago and had no issues with it. I loved it. I ended up not having access to a working computer for a few years and was unable to play this. Got a brand new laptop less than a month ago and decided to re-download this game because i remember liking it. It will NOT let me play. I've installed the game, made sure that I have enough room on my hard drive, i have copies of the cd keys, and logged into my account on the sims 3 website. I open steam and click play. Sims 3 launcher pops up. I click play. Launcher disappears, and steam goes back to saying play after a couple seconds. I click the play button again, and the same thing happens. Every single other game in my steam library works and will let me play it. But not this one. I suggest going through the ea launcher if you want to play the sims. At least theirs actually lets you play the game!

is broken and keep getting error

Addicting and fun...The Sims 3 also has the best DLCs in my opinion. 10/10

best sims game

Oh, you’re still playing The Sims 4? That’s cute. I just fired up The Sims 3 again. No expansions. No mods. Just the raw, unfiltered base game. And guess what? It still eats The Sims 4 alive. You want to visit your neighbor? Cool, let me just wait for a loading screen. Oh wait, The Sims 3 doesn’t do that. I can literally watch my Sim get out of bed, walk to the park, fish for a few hours, and go home, all in real time. Meanwhile in Sims 4, your Sim has to teleport across town like it’s 1999. Traits? Yeah, Sims 3 gives you five of them. Not two or three watered-down ones. And they actually matter. A coward will scream at a thunderstorm. A kleptomaniac will steal your neighbor’s microwave when you’re not looking. In Sims 4, your Sim is just a cheerful perfectionist who gets tense if their salad is a little off. And customization? Do not even get me started. In Sims 3, I can make a purple brick toilet with a zebra print lid if I want. In Sims 4, I get to pick between beige ...
