Great Game, love everything about it, however, I am facing a problem with corrupted save files every now and then. Still I keep enjoying the game!
good(?)
how i've been able to run the game;
1. open Sims 3 launcher
2. open task manager
3. in task manager, locate 'Sims3LauncherW'
4. open details
5. right click 'Sims3LauncherW' -> set affinity
6. deselect all CPU cores. select CPU 1 only
7. press play
8. in task manager Details, 'TS3W.exe' should now appear
9. right click 'TS3W.exe' -> set affinity
10. select all cores
game will now run. you have to do this each time, though it goes pretty fast once you get the hang of it. hope this helps.
The last great Sims game. There are so many little things in this that make you feel like your Sims are really alive--that the universe you're cultivating is full and thriving around what you've built. Now, it's not perfect of course, but it has soul.
I could never play the Sims 4, too smooth visuals and bodies looking too perfect. Sims 2 & 3 are 10 times better, but I end up prefering the 3rd because I've always wanted the open world
would like to play and played before, but I've never had this error w the game...
I start it, it opens the launcher and then I click play, then it starts to loading something and then the game just never starts.
it's a good game tho, I like it more than the sims 4 but I dont get it why the game is not starting!?
Any advices/help?
My system is perfectly fine for the game because I have a gamer laptop that runs games with high requirements so thats just couldn't be the problem .-.
Don't be fooled by the hours, the way this installer works it runs in the system tray all the time unless you exit it, but that allows for a faster save load, which is important in this game. Island Paradiso is a joke, it doesn't run without serious tinkering due to broken pathing and people getting stuck. Some of the expansions aren't worth it, some of the bought content isn't, but I do have a good 500+ hours in playing this game, and still have not played all the content, same as my old Sims 1 game and all of it's expansions. (Worth a buy and play on clearance in 2024! (I daresay it won't be long until Sims 5 is announced)
I love the Sims universe and used to mod my Sims 1 a lot, these days there are expansions and I'm still trying to play through those stories and content! My favorite expansion is the Vacation one, it's a must as it adds so much to the game in both career paths, adventures and exploration, storylines, new careers, and so much more to the game. I've never bought the just cosmetic expansions, you can customize your heart out already lol
I do recommend learning testing cheats to do things like reset sims when they are stuck and deal with persistent bugs with mailboxes and items, people who want more control can do more but also those who just want to play without being stuck for 5 minutes....well. The pets expansion was buggy and laggy a lot with more moving objects/creatures getting stuck, so I turned off pets entirely.
All of those add a lot of content, and even on fantastic pcs they lag horribly, good luck and turn a lot of settings down to help!
better than any sim game. the other sims games is horseshit
Best game ever if you like to play lifes of sims. =) Runs smooth and nice through steam. So are very grateful for my purcase.
I love sims3 compared to sims4. Just something about the sims3 such as graphics or details, ease of play that makes it the best game of all time for me. Sims4 feels bulky and not as much fun. Big problem I have now is that I can't login to the EA site or play the game on my computer. Is there a problem with the site or something? HELLLPPP!!!
One of the best games which can help you on your recovery way from depression as you can build, create and plan the new apartments or even buy all the city, you can create all styles for your sims and plan any way of life.
I also like how character of each sim impacts the gameplay and how any detail can change the whole entire story
I love the creative freedom & different possibilities The Sims 3 has to offer. I always look back on it fondly.
That being said, there are some bugs, as well as launching issues on Steam. I basically have to restart my computer having each session, which is very tedious & annoying.
Overall, this is a great game, especially if you buy all the expansion packs. It only further enhances an already fantastic gaming experience.
I have been playing The Sims since I was around 11. It never fails to give you that amazing and nostalgic feel, especially when playing across the different versions. I can always count on The Sims to occupy my time for HOURS! It is wild how different they are. In my opinion, it is MUCH harder to find your sim in a relationship in the 3rd one compared to the latest 4th one. It definitely makes you work for the relationships that your sim has even more in the earlier versions.
A buggy mess of a game, but its nostalgic. This game comforted me as a child growing up, it means so very much to me even as an adult. Even without the nostalgic aspects, this game outshines its successor. It may not be as breathtakingly gorgeous as sims 4, but it makes up for it in the sheer amount of content you can do in just the base game alone.
Great game, but BE AWARE it is simply not playable on modern hardware without a ton of mods. If you’re not willing to download these don’t bother as the game will not get past the launcher otherwise. Can’t recommend in its current state until EA release a patch (which is extremely unlikely).
Really love this game, I used to play this 10+ years ago and once I found it on steam I instantly wanted to go back to the nostalgia. There's so much it has reminded me of years ago within the in game mechanics, but there is also amazingly new things I only recently discovered!
I also got a lot of new expansion packs I hadn't played before when I was younger and honestly it makes the gameplay even better (I recently bought into the future and the pets expansion packs, which Is new to me). In general I highly recommend: Late Night, Supernatural, showtime and Generations it makes the gameplay so much more exciting and you can actually tell that the devs back then cared about their game!
I've enjoyed playing The Sims 3 base game more than I enjoyed The Sims 4 with multiple expansion packs and hundreds of mods installed.
The game is very fun and does not require in app purchases. I can play the game my way for many hours and is worth the price paid.
I would recommend this game but I have spent so much money over the years on this game and its fun, its really is and yet I can't play it because my PC is too "advanced" and nothing is being done about it but by the fans and thats sub par at best no offence to them its not there problem it should be EA's. I just upgraded my whole PC by a few years as of now this is it-(12th gen I7-12700k, MSI z-790 gaming wifi, RTX 4060 8gb, 48gb of ddr5 G.Skill trident Z5) and I played the Sims 3 fine before on a different set up but with this set up nothing but stuttering and crashing no mater what I do mods, no mods, high settings, low settings, no settings, messing with the RAM and CPU settings in GraphicsRules.sgr file, Fan made CPU update, fan made GPU update, different maps, smaller family's, less stuff... zilch its almost like EA ruined the game on purpose in one of the last big updates just to get you to get the new one and the outrageously numerous DLC that all together makes a huge hole in your pocket that half of which should already be in the game and we all know it, this will fall on deaf ears but please just fix this EA I would like to play the game I spent A LOT of my hard earned money on and love.
The Sims 3 is such a nostalgic and fun game that everyone should experience out of the franchise. I love switching between The Sims 4 and The Sims 3 because they both offer so much in comparison to game-play. The open world and creativity is unmatched for The Sims 4.
Nostalgic and has only gotten better with time. Island Paradise is glitchy so i dont recommend that but everything else is entertaining. I highly recommend adding Custom Content to your game as well and if your custom content has a green plumbob next to it, make sure to double click it to install it or add it to your downloads folder and mass install.
This is one of the best pieces of historical fiction in game style that has ever graced the presence of our minds. Fantastic. 15/10.
Most satisfying sims game to date. The game is very glitchy though and it is normal to lose entire saves.
A challenging game of simulated life. Not only does this game bring fun and joy to me but helps me with my cognitive skills.I recommend this game outright.
While I love the sims 4 for the modding ease the sims 3 has so much more depth of game play going on, much more chaos occurring and the open world really does add so much more to making the world feel alive. When I do not want to mess around making my own story lines like I have to in the sims 4 I can boot up the sims 3 and watch the mess that is sims hating each other, cheating on their partners, pets actually being animals and not glorified house ornaments, hauntings, actual family dynamics and drama. Sims 3 you will always be famous.
I have over 200 hour on the sims 3 and this game is the best one out of the entire series the open world and gameplay and the expansion packs that do not feel half ass are amazing i would recommend this game 1000%
I love this game... but it is sooo buggy.. I would NOT recommend it to anyone who has not already fallen madly in love with it. I HATE Sims 4. Totally different game. I wish they would remake sims 2 into a NEW game. Call it Sims 2 Again or something. IT had the best game play... LOVED the college exp. it was amazing. This game has to have soooo many alterations to play it on a modern as of 2024 computer. Like I said you have to be desperate to want to play this to endure what it puts you through.
Sims 3 is an amazing game. WAY better than Sims 4. My only issue is every single pack is almost 200 dollars all together but you only really need seasons late night and supernatural to fully enjoy the game.
Grew up playing all the older sims releases and this is honestly my all-time fav. Sims 4 wishes it could have the same charm as this game, but it never will. I miss when they actually cared abt their players rather than just their money. FUCK ea games.
Grown up with the entire franchise and this to date remains my favorite of the bunch. Open world, sliders, and objectives in the game make it the most superior
I never played sims 3 in my life before apart from the Wii and Xbox i enjoy the main version of the game it's got a cool neighbourhood lets you go anyway you like even if Shamack is still at home watching TV i love how much sims get outside on bikes and cars the driving is my favouite part of the game watching shamack going to work or community area and also being able to visit other houses i made him visit gary and both had pizza for tea This is a great game to buy for your PC and Laptop i do like Sims 2 and 4 more but the more i come on this game it's like a new story awaits so i would reccomend buying this game if you love games like sims
I mean, what can I say really? It's a classic! I've been playing the Sims games ever since I was a kid, I've played all of the Sims games and I've also played good chunk of their expansion packs for games 2-4. Well lately I've been playing Sims 4, which has never quite scratched the Sims itch in the way that Sims 3 does. So I decided to buy it since my CD no longer worked and man I forgot just how perfect this game was haha. I missed the color wheel so much! And being able to buy my own car was something I didn't even realize I missed. It's all the little things that add up with this game, totally worth it. If you've been missing this classic, fear not, it is the same as it once was. :)
I think the sims 3 is far superior than the sims 2 and sims 4, kind of an unpopular opinion at times. What I love about this game is the open world, the cars, and of course the color wheel. I don't really like how easily the game can stop working properly, resulting in you as the user to have to uninstall and reinstall the game, but beside that the game is perfect to me.
One of my favorite sims games (2 is a bit better) but 3 is probably the last sims game with a soul and love behind it, def check it out if you're thinking about it! (And play 2!!!.. 1 if adventurous,)
Click to open the game which opens the launcher. Press open game from there and the launcher closes, with something loading for a few seconds, and then....nothing. The game just doesn't open. I'm sure there are mods that can fix this, but from I looked around, they seem like too much of a headache to be worth it.
At bare minimum a game, especially one that costs money, should at least be able to be opened and played, this is unacceptable.
Do not buy this, it is a waste of money.
I love this game. It reminds me of the good old days!! I love putting my Sims into the pool then surrounding them with a fence, and slowly drowning them as they get more and more exasperated.
EA still charging full price for TS3 is pretty wild (but on brand for them). BUT the Sims 3 is still, in my opinion, WAY better than the Sims 4.
The best sims game in the franchise low-key; very iconic, very demure.
The Sims 3 represents a golden era in life simulation gaming that holds a special place in many players' hearts. The open-world design was revolutionary, allowing Sims to seamlessly travel throughout their neighborhood without loading screens - something that feels sorely missed in The Sims 4.
The depth of customization in The Sims 3 was remarkable, especially with the Create-a-Style tool that let players modify colors and patterns of virtually every object. This level of personalization made each home and Sim truly unique, creating more meaningful and personal gameplay experiences.
The Sims 3's gameplay mechanics offered richer storytelling possibilities through features like:
- Traits that genuinely affected Sim behavior
- More complex relationships and social interactions
- The ability to follow Sims to work
- Deeper hobby and skill systems
- More meaningful career progressions
While The Sims 4 excels in its Sim creation and emotional systems, it lacks the seamless open world and deep customization that made The Sims 3 so immersive. The nostalgia factor of watching your Sims drive around town, visit neighbors without loading screens, and discover random events throughout the neighborhood remains unmatched.
The expansion packs for The Sims 3 also felt more complete and substantial, adding significant gameplay elements rather than smaller features. Seasons, University Life, and Generations particularly stand out as transformative additions that enhanced the base game experience tremendously.
The Sims 3 continues to demonstrate how a life simulation game can be both ambitious and detailed, setting a standard that even modern iterations struggle to match. Its blend of freedom, depth, and creativity makes it a timeless classic that many players still return to today.
The Sims 3 is a delightful sandbox experience that lets your creativity shine. With a vast array of customization options, you can create unique characters and build dream homes. The open-world environment adds a new layer of exploration, making every neighborhood feel alive. The gameplay is engaging and offers endless possibilities, whether you’re focusing on careers, relationships, or just enjoying everyday life. It’s a charming and addictive experience that keeps you coming back for more!

I am a bit peeved. Personally, it's a good game but I recently got a new pc and the game refuses to launch properly. Like it literally won't go to where to play the screen. It just gets to the part you press play and it closes the game completely for me. It's inconvenient, especially with the fact I bought this game with a few dlcs.
my favorite sims game i have ever played and so much better than the sims 4
The game has a memory leak and crashes because it's only 32 bit. Otherwise it's addictive and fun. It's the only life simulator with Create-a-Style and Create-a-World. If only it was remade 64 bit without a memory leak, it would be perfect. I wouldn't buy this full price but I got the complete collection (minus store content) on a hefty Steam sale, though I haven't seen Sims 3 go on sale since.
first of all THE GAME DOESN'T WORK ON MY ASUS TUF
My childhood video game. I remember playing it for 7-8 hours a day and never getting bored. Funny, because it’s such a boring game. My favorite thing was making the Sims have sex, have kids, and then make the spouses cheat on each other. What a healthy childhood I had. Of course, I never had the original game. I’d go to the CD shop, buy a CD, and my dad would crack it and install the game for me. The game used to work on my Lenovo Ideapad, but now it won’t run on my Asus TUF. Steam, give me my $20 back. I'm a poor turk pls.
I've been an avid Sims player since Sims 2 when I was just 5 years old. I always come back to this game and love it every time. I bought all the packs with steam's deal within the past year and have been having the time of my life exploring everything.
This is the best life sim currently on the market.
The seamless open world makes the game feel truly alive. Having the option to go to work, stop by your friends house and hit the gym before heading home all without any cutscenes or loading screens is nothing short of incredible. The base game has so many options to explore, and the DLC adds even more. University, seasons, pets, clubs, you name it. While the DLC is ridiculously expensive (wait for it to be on sale when it's reasonably priced), it does add an incredible variety to an already well rounded experience.
Occasional performance issues aside, it's hard to find anything bad to say about Sims 3. It has thousands of hours of gameplay to offer, and for it's current price tag, it's honestly a steal for what you can get out of it.
I've been playing the sims 4 for YEARS,and let me tell you, aside from graphics, this game outdoes it by ten fold. You get five personality traits that actually affect game play, not just "evil sims are happy when evil" or "childish sims get the silly mood more often". It has a much more open world, so you don't go to a loading screen every time you want to go to a new lot, which was a massive issue i had with the sims 4. The character customization isn't terrible either, the sims 4 obviously has the most in depth and varied character customization, but if you aren't super particular about how your sims look, this game definitely has options. Overall, i like this game a lot just on game play alone, and would say its a good start for any newer simmers.
Very great game to play. I wish they could add the other expansion packs of Sims 3. I enjoy playing the game and the expansion packs I already bought. I have not played or experienced the other expansions that were released. I think Steam will not make a mistake to release the other expansions. Just to add more fun or experimenting in the game. I have never seen the Dragon Valley expansion. I have only seen the trailer of the expansion. I do not know if that is an online purchase within the game.
its fun to play and great for stress relief when I no longer want to be nice to people after a long day of customer service
The open worlds without lots of loading screens, unlike sims 4.more gameplays without needing to buy a lot of packs and how you could edit the worlds too
