Wow looks really really good, Im going to be tempted to get this. But is it going to have a million expansion's like the other ones, or is it going to be short sweet and to the point?

1Frothy Posted March 19, 2008 Author Share Posted March 19, 2008 Being EA... I'd say there would be lots of expansion packs. But that doesn't mean you have to buy them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demersynth Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I wouldn't mind the current Sims 2 graphics, but just improve the mechanics of the game...Because from seeing that, it looks like crap, to be honest. But then again, this is just development stages, hopefully they will clear out all the jaggeys and optimize it so you don't need some super computer (but it is EA, right?). Hopefully my rig can handle it :x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nexx295 Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 The graphics aren't so good... or maybe they did the screenshots with the lowest details and screen resolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+longgonebn Subscriber² Posted March 22, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted March 22, 2008 The shots look better then any other SIM game right now, but I still always hated those games, so no go for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LewisBraid Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 im hoping for something a bit better than this tbh (visual wise) not a great improvement on the sims 2 - only features which could have easily been adapted into the sims 2... look forward to future developments.

Crazysah Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Seems like it is going to be made with much better graphics but I hope they improve the mechanism of the game more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fid Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Going to revive this, as The Sims 3 is released tomorrow (or today if you ordered online and received it today :D). I've only played it for a little while, creating a Sim is really good and detailed, I love it. I love the fact there are no loading screens after the initial ones. However... is anyone else experiencing 'lag' and 'stuttering' when moving about? i.e. Zoom in/out, fly across the town? I don't see why I should be, I'm playing this on a GTX 275 (see specs below)... and my FPS is usually about 150+ if vsync is turned off. I'm on max settings, but turned down settings and it's the same. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fid Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 disable pixel shader 2.0 Oh right, how would I do that? Through TS3 options, or Nvidia control panel? If that got rid of the lag/stutter, it would be fantastic - it's the only thing that's spoiling it for me at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fid Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I get it here on win 7 with HD 3870... So at least it's not just my system then. Hopefully if EA can do something about it, they'll patch it quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fid Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 (edited) The game options, is a check mark in the grafics options. One thing - does disabling it make it look bad? I'm really surprised it struggles with a GTX 275, thought that would have been able to handle pixel shader 2.0 - or maybe it's just bad programming Edit: Nope, didn't work!
