Me currently playing Sims 3 rn: "Damn, this is important knowledge for me to have."
Samee
Sure, go ahead and make me jealous 😭
I am exclusively playing The Sims 3 right now so this is perfect for me.
same honestly the gameplay is so refreshing!
@@noemieakoun5674i swear! there is so much i missed out on while playing as a kid that i’m enjoying experiencing now! i refuse to go back to s4 until they fix the game lol
You know why they dont make sims 3 with better graphics or bring it on consoles ? Or make it easier to play?
Because almost all would drop sims 4 and play sims 3, thats EA, a disgusting greedy company !
Facts
Or because it was made from an entirely different studio working with maxis... yaknow they hired people to work with them on sims 2 and 3 right? It isn't just maxis...
@@valkyrie040 smh yes they are greedy but that literally isn't the reason behind the grotesque graphic quality
@@TheAnxiousOwl I like the graphics.✨✨
Well, at least EA doesn't charge us for bug fixes, actually I think a lot of players would actually pay for bug fixes if they worked right and didn't break the game more than before.
I will stand on The Sims 3 hill and die on it! I may build in Sims 4, but Sims 3 will always be my favorite for all the fun gameplay, customization, and open worlds.
You are not alone! Im standing with you.🥰
Same here! I think I can legit say Sims 3 is my favorite game of all time.
The Sims 3 open world gameplay is the only reason I even want to play the Sims in the first place.
@@ELDENITE-1 Yes, I totally agree!
Cheers to that 🎉
Sims3 was the game to why I wanted to play sims4 I really thought it would be like sims3 but I was wrong 😢
@BeautyQueen2023Xsims 2 is great, but the open world in the sims 3 is what really does it for me.
@@MysticMal I am quite an opposit XD Open world isn't something I would aprecciate
same n after playing sims 4 i instantly missed open world n the challenge of collecting collectibles throughout the map. it just didnt feel the same in sims 4
@BeautyQueen2023X For me personally Sims 2 is a good game but extremely limiting compared to Sims 3. Sims 3 there’s endless possibilities in careers, hobbies, lots of details in the game, personality traits(literally effecting almost everything including how sims painting comes out) and has way more to offer gameplay wise.
@@patsypookie1319 that's understandable, we all have different taste
I'm dead! Yall talk talk talk about the bugs with Sims 4 and now we just gonna turn around and play older ones! I'm glad I'm not the only one!
We’re tired 😭
If they are still selling the older games then they should definitely fix them and have support for players.
Exactly!! I remember I was having issues trying to download the showtime expansion pack and EA wasn’t doing a damn thing about it. They are extremely greedy and never take in consideration of what their consumers are saying but when a big celebrity opens up about an issue with their game, they are hands-on. It’s really sad.
True but they don't even fix sims 4 lol
Steam should honestly get rid of Sims 3 since it's broken for so many people and EA refuses to fix it. I mean, it's a broken product.
Got it last last week. Had trouble with getting it to run because my computer wouldn't update. Eventually got it working though. I have a level 2 handiness skill if I do say so myself 😎😎😎
Oh wow! I literally started playing the sims 3 this weekend lol it’s on sale for 7.99 so I said why not. I’m tired of my saves being broken with every update. Surprising entertaining and I don’t miss sims 4 playing it!
Do you know how long the sale is for?
it says thru 3/28 on EA @@ivoryphoenix7
I got the sims 3 for $1.97 on instant gaming, it’s so much fun!
@@ivoryphoenix7March 28th
@@ivoryphoenix7till the 28th
I'm only playing sims 2 & 3 now! I'm having a blast & lowkey wanna try the first game even just to see if I can play it longer than a sims 4 session lol.
Same. The first time i play ts3 since a very very long time i havent played it, i almost cry😂 back when ts3 era i was still in university, I played it on my 2gb ram laptop. i still remember how long it took to load, my laptop is hot, the laptop fan sounds like turbo jet😂 now i play ts3 on my high end pc, i have never felt more grateful and appreciate to myself for being so patience during those days and studying so hard so i can have better job to earn enough money to buy myself a custom pc. Its really a journey 😂
Be forewarned if you play The Sims 1 that it is an unforgiving game and you will probably die a lot. But hey, it's more exciting than The Sims 4!
There’s no undo in buy mode in TS1, and iirc switching between build and buy modes locks in what you built, so if you need to knock down a wall or remove a wallpaper etc. and you’ve lost the undo you won’t get a full refund.
But the flip side is that as long as you sell what you *bought* in the same day…full refund. There might be some exceptions.
Sims 1 social tip: Go to Magic Town IMMEDIATELY after work as time stops.
You can make friends for promotions this way and then go home and have time to build your needs up before work the next day.
I love Sims 4 but I’ve been playing Sims 3 lately and I’m loving it!! 😊
Alright boys and girls, I have been trying to get the sims three to work on my pc FOR TWO DAYS. I literally woke up, went to the bathroom, made my bed, fed my fish, etc. And after the usual wake up activities I went directly to the sims 3 to get it to work. everything I tried has a verry little effect on the game
I have literally gotten to the point that I can figure out how laggy the game is based off of how it lags in the intro screen to the game menu. I even tried reprogramming some of the game. I DID NOT KNOW THAT YOU HAD TO RE ENABLE ALL THE CORES. DUDE THANK YOU I LOVE YOU
I cannot thank you enough for this video. I have been beyond frustrated that I couldn't go back to Sims 3 ever since I got this computer last spring. I can't stand Sims 4 and just wanted to go back and couldn't and now I can. It is the only thing that has worked. Thank you!
There is a patch by Lazy Duchess called the Intel Alder Lake Patch that does these steps for you! I have an intel i9 14900HX and the patch worked for me fine!
I NEEDED THIS, SAVING FOR LATER
*edit: it worked, you’re my hero!!
Same here

My PC was updated to Windows 10 quite a while ago. The Sims 3 works fine on my PC
How quite a while ago? Because I’ve read the issue is (also?) with intel 12th gen processors and beyond.
Same - disc and Steam.
@@nekolalia3389 My PC is older. The default software version for it was Windows 8.1. I updated to Windows 10 when Microsoft was pushing it out for free. My PC is also unable to upgrade to Windows 11 due to certain specs that I don’t understand.
I got a new pc about a week ago and I can play 3.

Thank you so much. I found a similar fix like this on Reddit, but they never mentioned to "Re-enable" the CPU's after turning it down to 0 or 1, when it's bypassed the launching process. I was experiencing endless crashes, most likely for good reasons while just running the game on CPU 0 or 1 constantly. Thanks for this!
Hardcore Sims 3 fan. Just switched to a new computer and had this bug. Watched all the videos, tried all the things, until this video fixed my problem. I posted a link to your video on a steam forum. Well done. You won youtube.
Thank you so much! I got a new computer last year and lost hope ever playing sims 3 again, but this got it to work finally! Sims 3 is my favorite sims.
oh my gosh this is so funny. i just reinstalled the sims 3 because I had such fond memories of it on my new computer, but assumed it wouldn't work so just went to watch youtube, but here you are! thank you for this :)))
I've missed the Sims 3 so much and thanks to you, I can finally open it again! Thank you so much!
Omg. You have absolutely solved this issue for me! I have tried every fix I could find on the internet and none of them worked until this one. Thank you.
omg i really needed this, i was so upset that since getting my new pc that the sims 3 wouldn’t work anymore 😭
sadly this didnt work for me for some reason :(
@@mollymoo2452you must have directx installed. I think it's 9 or 12

Just got Sims 3 on Steam (since the EA app wasn't playing nice with my old game and I am mildly addicted) and I had this exact problem. So thank you! It worked perfectly!
You are a life saver. This is thevonly video that worked for me. I haven't played this game in so long. You have a special place in my heart. Thank you
Good timing! I’ve been thinking recently about trying the Sims 3 but wasn’t sure where to start and how to find it lol
You made it so simple and easy to understand. You're a legend ❤
Pixelade, thank you for a fast and EASY solution to get Sims 3 running again! Every other solution I found was very convoluted and made my head spin, but this was just two quick buttons. THANK YOU!!
I'am very excited for the Sims 2 tutorial
Good luck getting the Sims 1 to run, it's 24 years old and takes a lot of tinkering. I got all the store contents and all the dlcs.
Fair warning the sims 1 is a different beast, it's very hardcore and don't your hands It's the first time in 15 years I played the Original sims. I missed this type of fun and brings back great memories.
As for the sims 2, still playing it since it's initial release. That's a more family friendly and please don't lose track of time, it's that good. Both the sims 2 and the sims 1 are in GOG.
Sims 3 funny, now I love it more than initially released. Got all the dlcs and 95 % of the store contents and a mod for island paradise to prevent excess lagging and make it more enjoyable. I'm currently playing in Sunlit Tides, not in the base game or any of the DLCS. Bought it from the sims 3 store. ( Sorry Epic game players it's not in the Epic Game Store), just buy it on steam, the EA app or Gog.
I'm playing all versions of the sims in 1 weekend.
Can Sims 3 run in a laptop? Or do I have to get a PC to play it?
I really wanna play but I heard that the game takes forever to load
I used to play Sims 3 on my Xbox 360 when I was super young before Sims 4 came out, I've been playing 3 on my PC for the last few months and it's so so nostalgic and super fun now that I have all the packs (☠️) plus some CC (only had base game when playing on xbox), I'm not sure why but 3 is so much more immersive than 4 and it has me hooked in the way 4 used to before it fully went downhill
I have been trying to run this game for the past year, and your video was the most simple and helpful i have found! thank you very much!
You posted this while I was playing the Sims 3, and I am happy you're helping get others into it too ❤️
I still have Windows 10, Sims 3 works great. I have a six core but then again my pc is coming on 7 years old, so I don’t have the latest and greatest processor. This is a good tutorial for those that have newer pcs.
Thank you for showing the fix for The Sims 3 Launcher, I had to bypass it using a desktop shortcut for a while, but your little guide fixed the Launcher crashing for me! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! 😭🤗
how’d you do a desktop shortcut my game is still crashing maybe that will help me
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! I have been trying to fix this problem for over an year now since
I purchased my new computer! This was the first tutorial that fixed my problem, You just made my whole day!
Cheers for this. tried a bunch of different recommendations of how to fix the issue and this was the one that worked for me
Watching this Sims 3 gameplay is so nostalgic. I played since Sims 1 but Sims 3 is what truly made me obsessed with The Sims
I'm so glad I am done playing the Sims 4, thank you for the tips on how to get the Sims 3 to work again on modern hardware.
No way this worked 😱😍❤️ thank you soo much!!!
Omg I’ve needed this for so long! I bought sims 3 on steam years ago and never got to play it because exactly this happens. I finally get to see what all the fuss is about 🎉
Another tip is to go into your video card settings and make sure to limit the FPS to 60, a quick way to make your game will run smoother (Sims 3 can stutter with too many FPS, and modern video cards can sometimes cause sims 3 to get FPS into the hundreds which causes huge slowdowns)
How do you go into your video card settings?
@@katelynn8428 It wont' let me post a link, but there are lots of excellent tutorials on how to do this on youtube. :) (Most include other things you can try to improve performance also)
My current laptop can't handle much of anything, let alone all of the Sims 3 + Expansion I have via steam. However, once I do get a new laptop I'll be watching this video again so I can properly play Sims 3, so thank you for making this video and passing along this information!
This is perfect, I have to keep going back to Reddit to find the thread with this fix to play the sims 3. Now I can just come back here every time I forget the workaround
i've been trying to get this game to run for YEARS on my pc!!!!! thank you sm
finally it works thank you so much !!!
I miss playing the sims 3 it won’t work on my computer.
I have been wanting to play this game for so long! I was just able to load in thanks to this! Thanks!
I've been thinking about going back to ts3 aka my fav game of all time, so thank you for this video!
I've been playing the sims 2 for a couple of weeks now and I'm really liking it. One thing I was shocked to find was that the sims 2 allows for hybrid occults which is really cool.
wait how did you get it? i want the sims 2 so bad but it's not available anywhere?
Oh thank you so much for posting this! I've been thinking about playing it. It was my favorite!! Saving this!
THANK YOU SO MUUUUUUCH!!!! I have been at it for like an hour and actually started processing the refund for the game, and then saw your video. I LOVE this game, thank you for sharing this fix!!
This is good to know! I recently upgraded my computer and haven’t played TS3 since.
I just have to say that I never stopped playing TS3 because it's the best and yesterday started reloading TS2. Thanks for making this video, I saved it in case I need it in the future!
I was so surprised when I saw this video today because today was the 1st time in a long time I've played Sims 3. Got fed up with Sims 4. Luckily 3 plays well for me but I'm so happy you posted this in case in the future I may need the help. Very useful info. Thank you
Thank you so much! You are a life saver. Every other video was telling me to check my computer for updates, and it was driving me insane.
I can not express how thankful I am. My game wasn’t launching and I tried everything from reinstalling DirectX, looking up the files etc… THIS WORKED. Thank you.❤
i’ve gone back to playing sims 3 for a little over two months now. there are a FEW things in the sims 4 i wish were available like the building cas and a tiny bit of features. however the amount of gameplay and limits you can go to in sims 3 are insane and amazing
Thank you so much because I just got a brand new pc built and everything worked but the sims 3 and I was about to refund the game after trying everything and this worked!!! Thank you!!!! 🎉
I can’t tell you how HAPPY I AM TO FINALLY PLAY TS3!!!! I’ve been trying to get this to work for 3 months now and I final got my lazy azzz to watch this video. Thank you❤️❤️❤️
thank you so so much for making this video, you've saved my life LOL. i was so bummed out when I couldn't play but it worked and I am so excited to play on my pc!
Worked like a charm. Thank you! I just can't play Sims 4 anymore.
Dude you are a lifesaver oh my God it actually worked. I got a core innovation all-in-one desktop Windows 11 for my birthday I was a little worried cuz I knew it wasn't going to work thank you so much
You are a life saver!!! Hours and different days trying to figure out the problem on windows 11. This was the answer!! Thank you a million times! ☺️
You're a hero...Ive been trying to get it to work on my new laptop for so long. Thank you!!
This worked for me ever since upgrading my pc. THANK YOU.
It's working! Thank you very much :)
THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH!I have tried everything and only this worked❤
omg thank you so much I downloaded literally yesterday and it wasn't working, you made this video for me haha you're a life saver!
I've still been playing the sims 2 for years lol. Might go back to the sims 3 for a bit after this.
Thank you soo much been trying to get the sims 3 to play for the last 2 years for the pc i bought with extra memory specifically for the sims 3 and this has finally solved it!
Thank you so much, I actually had this exact issue and thought it was unfixable. Subbed
I never comment on YT vids but omgggg bro! You fixed such a difficult and sad problem that I've been having for YEARS! Thank you thank you thank you!
Omg I was literally looking for such a video right now
Gosh you're definitely my saviour, I was already starting to stressing but this worked perfectly ✨
This absolutely did the trick on my new laptop. Thank you so much!!
Dude thank you sims 3 was my childhood and I never gut to play the complete version. But now that I bought the complete version it wouldn't work.
This fixed it immediately ❤❤❤
I do miss The Sims 3! I'm thinking about revisiting it after playing a bit last night! I just have so much love for it!
Thank you so much, I tried many things but nothing worked. just now I actually played the sims 3, and yeh its great still somehow I enjoy the sims 4, its more like a once in awhile thing for me.
Even finding out I could have a horse, I have pets pack but never knew I could have a horse lol
It worked!!! I've been so sad about not being able to play this game with windows 11 and I did try some things out myself. I even contacted EA, but nothing helped, but this worked for me so thank you so very much. I use the EA app and it's exactly the same as with steam. Again thank you, you made my day!
amazing vídeo 💖 i can't wait for the The Sims 2 tutorial!
Thank you so much! I have been wanting to play for so long and have been unable to. This just made my day.
I finally got to play TS3 after all these years!!! :D TY SO MUCHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
I do also recommend allocating ram, it makes a big difference in the game! If you are playing all the packs of course! I allocated 8gb when I had 16, now that I have 32, I've wanted to go back and see how well I can make it run. But my problem is, I'm so glued to sims 4 building :/ and I wasn't the biggest fan of sims 3 art style honestly.. It's just been too long for me I think, especially since I burnt out because sims is going downhill!
I loved the sims cast always 😊and all the other ones too
You saving lives with this video 😂 thank you so much. You also have a great point. I always wondered why sims 3 stopped releasing new content and updating there game. The reason why I got back on sims 3 was because it gave better gameplay than sims 4. It’s ridiculous what they’re doing to the game currently and I hope they change there ways soon.
Thank you really you help me a lot since my computer can't launch the game but this guide help me lot :)
Holly crap...
It works.... tanks you so so much 😊 I missed the open world so much....
Yeah, even at Sims 4's release I stuck with Sims 3 and 2. That's the thing about the "completed" Sims titles. They're not really revisited by EA for updates or new content anymore so you rarely ever have to worry about updating mods. Getting the games to work on newer systems can be a challenge but I have them working fine on Windows 10.
Guys there is a patch by Lazy Duchess called the Intel Alder Lake Patch that does these steps for you! It is for intel 12th and 13th generation but I have an intel i9 14900HX and the patch worked for me fine! I believe there is some AMD CPU’s covered in the patch too but mostly intel chips
This is amazing. Thank yu for this vid, super helpful!
Thank you, I spent hours trying to get my game to work and this fixed it immediately.
My problem as far as I know was not launching the game but the game itself. It worked fine one day played it the next day and suddenly it was extremely laggy. I was so confused because it was working fine the day before. Haven’t played it in probably 2+ years. Funny thing was it was on an older laptop and the sims 2 still worked.
I had more or less given up hope of ever playing again, but am re-downloading it now with great anticipation of this working 🙏
Couldn’t get The Sims 3 to launch on my HP laptop with Windows 11 and a Pentium Silver N6000 Jasper Lake processor-your video helped me to get it to run.
Thank you! I've been looking for a solution for AGES!
I’ve been thinking about doing this so thanks!
I just did this and it absolutely works!!! just a tip if your graphics card fan seems to make a whirring sound or whistle, turn on the v-sync in your graphics card settings and it'll go away :)
Thank you, Worked after following all your directions. Excellent tutorial. Following you.
Thinking of going back to Sims 3 or playing Sims Medieval for a change. My Sims 4 game right now is just so unplayable at times. Hate the loading screen so much haha
OMG YOU LEGEND!!!! i ended up spending hundreds on the Sims 4 because Sims 3 wouldn't launch on my new lappy - and at the time i searched for solutions, none worked - Cannot for the life of me get into the Sims 4 - i hate it with a passion!!! thank you so much!!!
