Re: Sims 3 Slow in Windows 7

hello ,Little advice before buying a game, you have to looks at very minimum configuration, you have 1.8 GHz and even 512 GB of RAM it is not really possible to run this game properly. In addition, your computer does not seem to be a dual core, so more reason for not playing of this game . Too bad, you should have tried the online software before.

these are the requirement for sim 3
  • 2.4 GHz P4 processor or equivalent
  • 1.5 GB of RAM
  • 6.1 GB of free disk space minimum (with at least 1 GB additional space for personalized content and registration of parties)
  • Graphics card with 128 MB with support Pixel Shader 2.0
  • Latest version of DirectX 9.0c

Re: Sims 3 Slow in Windows 7

What I understand is that the creators of The Sims 3 have said they made the game in such a way , that it will works with almost all computers ... And then the Sims 3 now require more power to run it , and many people can not run it because of that! I did the test on that site , the site tell me that my processor is not powerful enough, my video card too (the minimum required) , i think i need to upgrade them
