I've played Sims 2 and 3, and generally enjoyed them. I think I would have played both a lot more if they hadn't been prone to such severe performance issues. Especially 3. I was in a better position financially back then, upgrading my PC every 2 years, and somehow even a brand new PC built around gaming performance could not run Sims 3 without severe lagging and stuttering. I tried various mods intended to improve performance, but never really made any headway on the issue. Gave up, haven't tried Sims 4 because the quantity of DLC is huge and expensive.
I have exactly the same issues with Sims 3. My PC is pretty much as powerful as it's gonna get but Sims 3 with all the performance tweaks and mods just won't run properly, it's downright unplayable. Too bad it's my favourite Sims.
Does anyone actually buy the Sims games? Like the full game costs a fortune, just sail the high seas, EA shouldn't get a cent.
While I have gotten fairly proficient with the TV and film high seas, I struggle with games and software, often leaving me uncertain if what I've actually downloaded is a virus.
Fair enough, that's a sense you build up over time with some plunder, or at least it was for me.
If you wanna try Sims 4 I'm using Sims 4 updater by anadius, that gets everything you need and keeps everything up to date (while having less of a footprint than Origin).
Yeah, it's probably something I could get a feel for with more experience.
Thanks for the recommendation for a suitable Sims 4 source. :)
