"Hopefully I can make this Sim before my computer catches on fire". I felt this. Use to play Sims 3 on my laptop. Left it on and afk for an hour come back and my laptop has blue screened and could cook an egg on it
yeah i have both sims 3 and 4 and after about a few months with the sims 4, i just HAD to go back to 3, its so much better. It has so much more personality, with lore and an abundance of traits with so much stuff coming with a single pack. This is just personal preference of course, but I really do prefer the more "realistic" art style of 3. The only issue would be the amount of lag - although that's never been an issue for me and I've only ever played on non-gaming laptops. Would highly recommend!
It's the little stories in the midst of the tragedy that makes it work. Two of the sims in the few hours that spent together mindcontrolled and trapped in a pool together fell in love with each other, you can see the one that lived longer feeling heartbroken after the other died at 31:22.
In 6 years of marriage, I can't recall a single time I've ever seen my husband make tea. He starts watching your channel, and comes and asks me where the teapot is and what kind of tea we have. 😂
So pure! I converted my friend from coffee to tea. I mean, he still drinks coffee (for energy?) but he gets diarrhea from it so why he keeps drinking that shit just beats me
Do you realise what you've done? Every time someone reminds the British that there's tea in China, or any country really, they start another war. It's basically their 'thing'.
The sims isn't so much resource intensive, as it is extremely poorly coded. You should turn on vsync in your GPU settings, as the game for some reason decides to use any and all resources available to maximizing the framerate, even if you have a modern day god computer, it will simply make the computer render the game at 12000 frames per second and will cause your computer to overheat. The game also refuses to do regular save game optimizations and world cleanup, so your saves will become increasingly bloated with irrelevant information, and corrupt themselves, so you will need community patches.
Dont forget to install NRAAS And get a third party program designed to update Sims 3 to recognise your modern graphics card And go into the coding to ensure it uses MORE THAN ONLY 2 RAM.
Its not the Sims series as a whole, its literally just TS3. Sims 2 definitely has problems with save corruption but if you know what NOT to do its very easy to avoid. TS3 will break itself or your computer, whichever comes first, no matter what you do when playing it unless you get third party fixes. And as painfully boring and shallow as TS4 is, it definitely improved on the technical issues the series had problems with previously, though its certainly not without its own smaller technical issues like simulation lag and visual glitching
@@elvingearmasterirma7241 that reminds me of my university. Expensive computers running windows XP. People were opening the cases and stealing one of the RAM chips because it didn’t make a difference.
I still play The Sims 3 to this day, because it’s so much more content-rich than any other Sims game, and despite the ridiculous demand it seems to put on my PC I always love it when wild shit begins to happen as the save goes on.
When I played as a kid- I would find the most wealthy family I could, marry into the family, sell all their stuff and kill them all. It is likely the most evil thing i've ever done in a game.
Greatest career - astronaut, go to work for 1 day a week, if you go in a good mood you get promoted every time you go to work get a bonus and then get 6 days off. Was earning around 200k a week at one point
writer. Once you master writing you get around 50k initial payout for your book. With all the right perks you can knock out most books in a day. All books come with royalties for a time. Usually pays 1/5th the initial payout every week for 5-10 weeks. Now do 7 books like this. You get initial payout of 350k + 70k a week. Every now and again you get a best seller which is like 3x the value and has longer payouts. If you pick the right perks your sim will also enjoy writing, do it faster, make more money from it, and last longer while doing it.
They were pissed that they suddenly had to pay extra for tea. In classic American fashion some said "Fuck you!" and just grew their own tea. Others broke stuff. LoL :P
I would still be playing TS3 and making worlds for it in the year of our blord 2021 if I could actually get it to not keep crashing on my new upgraded PC and access the store items I'd bought back in the day. TS4 couldn't get my attention since I couldn't make entire custom neighborhoods like in 2 and 3.
Probably because it's just the debug interaction to add sims to your household but with a different name (In which case when the mind control is over it's the same as removing them from your household which doesn't return them to their household obviously)
Captain Wobbuffet i actually did get one for free sims 4 was free for a short time. sounds great right... they deleted my origin account because i didnt play anything attatched to my account for 4 weeks
Sims 3 has a bug with new GPU’s that has it pinned at max utilization. You need to mod the game to add support for modern GPU’s. You also can use your EA origin account to log-in.
You should also use CF explorer to allow the game exe to use more than 3GB of RAM but you also have to increased the RAM allocation in the config files from the default 1GB. No clue why EA didn't update this in the 2014 patch.
I had to go into my pc settings and have it devote more ram to the sims 3 so it can run better. I am happy to report there has been no spontaneous combustion as of yet.
Still better than The Sims 4. Removing create-a-style was the biggest deal-breaker. I can't get nearly as cool outfits and furniture in 4. The open neighborhoods of 3 is also great, I love jumping between my sim at the park and my sim at home instantly. Third reason I prefer 3: horses.

Huh, this reminds me of an exploit that I discovered myself when I was playing the game. I would build a communi-tea lot with a basement full of VR-Headsets. For whatever reason, if you had your sim put on the headset and take it off, it would now be considered your property and you could pick it up off the ground to put in your inventory and sell. Each one would sell for several thousand, so that was practically considered one of my sim's jobs to "test out" VR-Headsets. Nice thing about this exploit is that any sim can do it. No magical powers required. I doubt that this was ever patched as balance was never something that the devs really seemed to care for. Which really should be pretty obvious when they actually recommend that you use cheat codes to enjoy the game. Also, in regards to the whole game performance thing, I do find it comical that the launcher actually suggests that you don't play the game with all of the expansion packs enabled. Rather they recommend that you only play a few expansion packs at a time....likely to improve performance.
I always play with all EPs on bc I can never remember what hair/clothes/furniture come with each game and don't wanna glitch out my town just bc I feel like not being bothered by the univeristy mascot today, or turning off seasons or something.
Also, check out the Into the Future expansion for The Sims 3. As soon as you get to the future, the lot you start on is considered your home lot so you can take everything on it and sell it with the only consequences being that the stuff is gone. Lol
A lot of the worlds weren't put together properly or optimized. Isla paradiso ran at like 5 fps on my desktop back then cuz so many sims would get stuck on things, things wouldn't despawn, stuff like that.
Hey Spiff, I'm from Germany and now finally buy some of this delicious Yorkshire tea. I watch your vids since a few weeks now and I have to try this luxurious drink!
Sims 3 was my favorite for the simple reason that you could personally control the characters, and you didn't have to point and click. Made the gameplay so much more fun when the characters weren't struggling to pathfind or randomly standing idle even while you have task in que.
I have idea: Use martial artists as money maker. You only need Supernatural and World Adventures This is how: - You need two person. One to pick up the gem and sold it, one for martial artists. For faster and better results, martial artists need to have disciplined trait. For picker it doesn't matter. - Go to China and buy board breaker - Build martial arts skills for martial artists to the point that is sufficient enough for breaking space rock board and don't forget to break oak board or higher (in order to get an achievement in which you get gems for breaking space rock board) around 150 times. - Prepare your gem cutter (from Supernatural) and a sim to cut gems everytime martial artists break space rock block. - Get every gem and cut it. If you want better result, get 10 different gems before you cut them and then you'll get heart-shaped cut, the most valuable cut you can get in gem cutter aside from spire cut with easiest way possible. I use this method for quite a time and it is effective for someone who don't like their sims having a job.
Another exploit of the game is Red Berry Bean farming. The starting price of a low quality Red Berry Bean is $75, but as you farm them and their quality improves, you can be sweeping up to 20k per harvest.
yea, I just launched it today and it was almost as brutal to my computer as Surviving Mars, it even overheated my CPU to the point of failsafe shut down.
I am a bit late but the FPS is probably not capped! The Sims 3 can run at many hunderds fps if it's not capped because the game does not have an in game setting for it, but 60 fps is more than enough to run it smoothly. Mine was running at around 700 fps till I capped it in the Nvidia control panel, my laptop had a real bad time.. 😂
I know this is kinda late but you can use tiberium and the gem cutter to make obscene amounts of money as long as you have supernatural and world adventures. when you cut raw tiberium you get 1 spire cut and anywhere from 2 to 6 tiberium dust, the dust when placed also turn into large spire cuts within a day each worth £30,000+ each
Ah yes, the classic pick"pocket"ing When i tried TS4 I was afraid that feature will be missing but after a long wait I finally see someone putting my bathtub in their pocket I'm glad now
having an evil genie being extremely powerful is at least pretty much what it says on the tin. I find other exploits in Sims 3 a lot worse. Like picking flowers you can immediately sell for a three figure sum - each. On a place where the stuff regrows almost instantly. Why does any sim work anything else, who pays such prices. Why has that economy not crashed. Or functional store content that often is basically a cheat item.
My carbonated beverages aren't in alumin(i)um most of the time, they are mostly made of that 'plastic' material I've heard of. Well, at least it's not coffee, I actually don't get why people like it so much.

A lot of the worlds weren't put together properly or optimized. Isla paradiso ran at like 5 fps on my desktop back then cuz so many sims would get stuck on things, things wouldn't despawn, stuff like that.
The entirety of the Sims 3 is a buggy mess, which is sad given it is still superior in features to the other games
Welp mine worked fine.
Here after Will Smith slapped the shit out of Chris Rock
Still playing. Still loving it. Would love more ts3 from you. The exploits are endless in ts3. XD
You've finally encouraged me to brew some tea while I watch, 10/10, would recommend.
Hey Spiff, I'm from Germany and now finally buy some of this delicious Yorkshire tea. I watch your vids since a few weeks now and I have to try this luxurious drink!
I feel called out as I sit here with my coffee and being called dave
Do you hate being called Dave too?
Its 2020 and I'm still playing sims 3!
me too! the expansions make it so much more fun than the sims 4 tbh
I started my very first playthrough of Sims 3 in winter of 2021. Last time I played a Sims-game was Sims 1 well over 10 years ago.
I’d play it, but I’d rather not spend $800 dollars for a worse sims 4.
Me too
7:03 you reminded me of the existence of tea. then I started craving tea. then I went and made myself a cup of tea
Spiff: I Love Swimming Pools
Me: Ah Sh**, Here We Go Again
I feel bad for having a Coffee in front of me when I clicked on this.
It's ok, almost all modern coffee is descended from a clipping of a coffee plant that was in the Queen's garden.
Where can I buy these "Spiffco" images?
It's in the desc
I saw that as well and right then I really wanted to drink tea
@HimKioo oh dear r/wooosh
05:34 that is a suspicious looking stock image spiffing brit ;)
Sims 4 was like they took all the fun stuff from Sims 3, scrapped it and polished it up a little.
he actually predicted the future of 2019 as will smith became the genie :O
Saying tea is "even worse" than coffee implies that tea is also bad, just not AS bad.
Checkmate.
I did find that a bit odd!
We must warn him
Send tea to the Boston harbor. It’ll mix well with the water there.
Don't you love when your computer is burning hot, then accidentally brushing your leg against it? And somehow get burns?
My old laptop used to tan my knee rather painfully.
Love the spiffco stock images
3:00 Oh my nostalgia I remember those. I didn't even play the Sims 3 that thing was just on Webkinz if you ever wanted to adopt a new Webkinz...
Sims 3 was my favorite for the simple reason that you could personally control the characters, and you didn't have to point and click.
Made the gameplay so much more fun when the characters weren't struggling to pathfind or randomly standing idle even while you have task in que.
22:04
Star news anchor?
More like anchor.
Cause you be sinkin downnnn
Hahaha chillydogs!
Canadian here: I went out and bought a big box of Yorkshire tea SPECIFICALLY because of you. I think I can go through a cup or 3 during your video!
This is my first time coming across this channel and he gives off Josh Strife Hayes vibes, I like it.
he's the chaotic neutral to JSH's lawful neutral
I have idea: Use martial artists as money maker. You only need Supernatural and World Adventures
This is how:
- You need two person. One to pick up the gem and sold it, one for martial artists. For faster and better results, martial artists need to have disciplined trait. For picker it doesn't matter.
- Go to China and buy board breaker
- Build martial arts skills for martial artists to the point that is sufficient enough for breaking space rock board and don't forget to break oak board or higher (in order to get an achievement in which you get gems for breaking space rock board) around 150 times.
- Prepare your gem cutter (from Supernatural) and a sim to cut gems everytime martial artists break space rock block.
- Get every gem and cut it. If you want better result, get 10 different gems before you cut them and then you'll get heart-shaped cut, the most valuable cut you can get in gem cutter aside from spire cut with easiest way possible.
I use this method for quite a time and it is effective for someone who don't like their sims having a job.
Another exploit of the game is Red Berry Bean farming. The starting price of a low quality Red Berry Bean is $75, but as you farm them and their quality improves, you can be sweeping up to 20k per harvest.
Found Him?!?! 5:36-5:39 that looks suprisingly spiffingly brittish.
I knew he was a teacup!
Same thought, it's probably him?
yea, I just launched it today and it was almost as brutal to my computer as Surviving Mars, it even overheated my CPU to the point of failsafe shut down.
Spec ?
I am a bit late but the FPS is probably not capped! The Sims 3 can run at many hunderds fps if it's not capped because the game does not have an in game setting for it, but 60 fps is more than enough to run it smoothly. Mine was running at around 700 fps till I capped it in the Nvidia control panel, my laptop had a real bad time.. 😂
I play the full ts3 game on my tiny 200 dollar laptop what are y’all doing 😭
Spiff is psychic. He knew that Will Smith would be a genie.
I know this is kinda late but you can use tiberium and the gem cutter to make obscene amounts of money as long as you have supernatural and world adventures. when you cut raw tiberium you get 1 spire cut and anywhere from 2 to 6 tiberium dust, the dust when placed also turn into large spire cuts within a day each worth £30,000+ each
Ah yes, the classic pick"pocket"ing
When i tried TS4 I was afraid that feature will be missing but after a long wait I finally see someone putting my bathtub in their pocket
I'm glad now
8:40 I'm getting flashbacks
"I wanna be an actor."
Spiffingbrit used the godlike powers from tea to see the future and know that Will Smith puts out hits without needing to be in movies
I regularly still play, gotta love a good modding community.
This is Hilarious. That BOB email is mine. I made it to use for times I didn't want to give my information. XD
having an evil genie being extremely powerful is at least pretty much what it says on the tin. I find other exploits in Sims 3 a lot worse. Like picking flowers you can immediately sell for a three figure sum - each. On a place where the stuff regrows almost instantly. Why does any sim work anything else, who pays such prices. Why has that economy not crashed. Or functional store content that often is basically a cheat item.
I spit my drink out when you made Will Smith a genie xD Such genius, much appreciate!
Can't believe i watch the same 30k subscriber channel just 6 months ago
I don't drink coffee.
I also don't drink tea that often.
However, I do drink carbonated beverages housed in an alumin(i)um casing.
My carbonated beverages aren't in alumin(i)um most of the time, they are mostly made of that 'plastic' material I've heard of. Well, at least it's not coffee, I actually don't get why people like it so much.
Wait 6:46 "They throw away tea to drink something worse" so tea is a bad thing. Im gonna remember that.
he looks like any customizable character in any multiplayer game
