i got my fiance hooked on sims and im thinking about getting this one for her. she wants it. im not sure if this computer would run it. it looks to just make the minimum requirements.

we have
2.3ghz amd athlon x2 dual core
3gb ram
nvidia gforce 6150 se graphics ( i think its 128mb)

so you guys think i can run it?

Yes, you should be able to, on fairly high settings, if the minimum is Intel GMA.

$50.

This thread is exactly why PC games = fail.

A great, popular game ... and the first thing guys ask is "Can I run this?"

So pathetic.

My friend picked this game up. I'll probably go over later to play.

Haven't played these games since my grandpa passed (he fucking loved these games. RIP).

Looking forward to it.

Because when you buy a hot console game, the first question you ask is "how great is this game gonna be?" not "I sure hope I'll actually be able to play the damned game."

PC games are so limiting, because the great ones need a great PC.

I know in my days of PC gaming (gone since the ps3/360 era), I was constantly upgrading my rig ... and it was expensive and annoying.

That's pretty dope that your grandpa liked to play, I wouldn't of expected that haha.

this looks like a great game. ill get it sometime just dont know when.

[Ca$ino]

I got it on tuesday. I like it so far. only thing i dont like is the main menu. I liked before how all your characters where in whatever neighborhood you put them in and they could all interact with each other. maybe i just havent figured out how to get multiple created characters into the same neighborhood but if you cant, thats f'n stupid.

please, someone tell me i just havent figured out how to do this.

Eh....I wouldn't for The Sims.

I've gotten caught with The Sims. EA watches those downloads/uploads, if you seed it out.

[Ca$ino]

Yeah, you can. Took me a litle while to figure out too. While in game click on the circle button with the three dots in the bottom left.
The one that you click to get to the options menu.

Now click on 'Edit Town' and choose an available house or lot and you can place sims into it.

awesome thanks
