I know this question has already been asked on the TS3 Forum, but I wanted to ask you guys if you've had any bad/weird/wonky issues with Windows 7 and TS3 (I'm still on XP).
This computer upgrade is hobbling along slowly but surely, LOL. I'm hoping to start installing a couple of components next week, and then deal with the graphics card issue by the end of the summer (hopefully o_O).
Thanks in advance for any input, no matter how big or small!
well i still have vista (groan) but i have been reading about all kinds of weird issues on win7.. mostly with installing CC tho
ReplyDeleteI have had windows 7 since the day it came out. I haven't had any issues with the sims, or any other programs for that matter. :)
ReplyDeletesame as Evie :D
ReplyDeleteI have just got my new laptop with Windows 7 64-bit. I have installed the (basic) Sims 3 game, with upgrades / patches and no CC.
ReplyDeleteResult, when I start up the Sims 3 game, the second it starts after the Sims 3 Launcher, it crashes... :(
I have re-installed it and tried again, same result !!
However, my 'old' computer which caught fire, was running on Windows 7 64-bit as well, without any problems....
Hahaha, you tell me who's to blame... Microsoft or EA, or maybe both ??
I've been wondering this too. As I'm running Vista and I would like a operating system that can check for updates.
ReplyDelete@Eva, you're new computer could not have all the requirements for running the game.
I haven't had any problems at all with Windows 7 and Sims, or any other programmes. I LOVE WINDOWS 7! Just had to say that ;)
ReplyDeleteEva, I was so shocked to hear about your computer catching on fire...o_O I hope you didn't lose anything important! :(
ReplyDelete@Zeri, I'd heard of some weird CC issues with W7 too (on the Forum). I hope that doesn't happen...I can't live without that CC! *pouts*
Thanks for the input everyone! I really appreciate it :D
Windows 7 is bloody fantastic, I love it but Sims always causes problems whether the PC is new or old. XD
ReplyDeleteYou're the first to know: I did it :D
ReplyDeleteI have installed The Sims 3 game and all expansions and all the patches and upgrades and it works !!!
Windows 7 & The Sims on my new laptop; now I can start working on restoring and installing the CC.
I'll keep you posted on that one :)
@ Cel, I didn't lose much data, through the fire; I did have a very recent backup, which is unharmed :D
Nope, I haven't had any problems or issues, but it could be just luck. You never know what you may or may not run into these days.
ReplyDelete@Eva, thank goodness you didn't lose much! Backups ftw!
ReplyDelete@AE, that's so true -- people with some of the very best specs available have complained of problems that you wouldn't think would exist -- 8GB ram and the fastest processor and little CC, but the game still moves like molasses? o_O It might end up being hit or miss on this one...but I really need to upgrade...
Thanks again to everyone for the input!
My computer is all decked out with a great graphics card, 8 CPU's and heck, the darn thing even glows blue ( hehe). It's Husband built and I am almost sure it could take out NASA if it ever got the mind to.
ReplyDeleteThat said, I still get problems with Ambitions. Even before I added any CC. I think it's more the luck of the draw then anything.
So far my experience with Windows 7 is that it's very user friendly and I don't find myself cussing at it like I did Vista. I hated Vista so much I went back to XP.
I really didn't have many problems at all till Ambitions...and I think we all know who I blame for that *cough EA cough* :)
Haha Husband built. i like taht Xd Mine is Husband built, too. About 5 years old and runs better than most of those things they sell at Best Buy. I JUST installed Windows 7 tonight but in about a week I'll have nothing but free time again so I'll re-install The Sims 3 and see how it goes.
