Not bad. It seems to be pretty good , IMO
ReplyDeleteAt least it doesn't need a Quad Core + SLI , which is great news for folks such as myself
Well it is the Sims after all. EA can't expect it to be the best selling franchise if it was a Crysis.
ReplyDeleteThis one is interesting. I'm a little surprised at the lack of publicity for this one though. I suppose Sims fans will buy it nevertheless.
sims is a casual game for boys and girls across all age. Being low requirement will surely attract many people to buy it!(including me!)
ReplyDeleteI'm waiting for the release date...
ReplyDeleteI read in google, it will be launched on February...
Where can I get this ASAP after release date in malaysia? Especially Melaka, cuz I'm living there
Anon, pcame.com.my and The Software Boutique does postal for free. They can ship to your for no extra charge anywhere in peninsular Malaysia.
ReplyDeleteThey are very helpful and I have had no issues with them.

Malaysia release seem like delay until june...Sad!! Bad news!
ReplyDeleteActually it's been delayed everywhere. New date is June 2nd
ReplyDeleteTheshi,i just ordered from pcgame.com.my ,the release date is 2/june so will pcgame.com.my get The Sims3 on 2 june too?
ReplyDeletehow long will it take for them to delivery to me...
woohooo!!! just pre-ordered the collectors item at PCGAME.com.my - why isn't it here yet?
ReplyDeleteCan't seem to know why the USD10 is not included in the package to enable us to buy stff in the simstore.
Anyone have any idea how to get the simpoints?
Zeanna: When you pre-order, there will be instructions to enable you to automatically get USD$10 worth of simpoints (which converts to 1,000 simpoints) after registering your game.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I still have yet to figure out how to use either credit card or paypal to buy more simpoints from the sim store since the store setting is limited to only a few countries (Asian countries are not in the list yet), which makes it difficult for us to purchase it online.
Maybe the store we bought the game from should be able to provide us those coupons ala top up...?
Haha - good idea - prepaid concept..
ReplyDeleteAnyway - I'm using HP Pavilion DV6000 (Vista)
How do I check my specs? Vista doesn't tell u what u want to know - all it does is dictate..
The only thing under Computer Properties:
Processor: P4 Intel Core Duo (2) T7200 2.00 GHz
Ram 1022 MB
Does it need additional RAM for this game?
