I Bought Every Sims 3 DLC!

- Опубликовано: 29 апр 2022
- I always loved The Sims 3 back in the day and I never owned any of the game's DLC. So, I figured I'd buy it all and see how the game runs!
Spoilers: Not well.

@Shia Lebeouf: Life Coach you know the fire rumour was about Sims 2 and not Sims 3 right? Also the rumour wasn't true.
@Shia Lebeouf: Life Coach you did not. I said that it wasn't true.
@Shia Lebeouf: Life Coach The 'fire' that so many people claim happened was a rumour about Sims 2, not about Sims 3.
We don't even need a remaster, we just need the game to run efficiently WITHOUT mods!

Remember kids, it's ALWAYS morally right to pirate the Sims DLCs
ditto 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️ Fitgirl repack for TS3 and Anadius Repack with updater and gallery for Sims 4 are the best for each game
EA can take the hit I'm sure

We really don’t appreciate Micky D enough, after all, he just spent his entire life savings on a single video for us!
IM DYING 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Right? Such a great lad to sacrifice so much.
And hardly played it
then spent his entire life waiting at loading screens.
@@Jerkfaceman at least once it loaded, it doesn't happen anymore as long as you dtay in your world
If I recall correctly, the first boot time is so long, because the game generates the objects or graphics cache, after that next loading times should be much quicker
It also takes forever because it only uses two CPU cores, whereas modern CPUs have four.
@@redwitch95 at least 4, often there are 6, 8 and more cores, and with hyperthreading the number basically doubles
Not only that, but he didn't disable the loading mini-game. By experience the mini-game can increase the loading time up to double what it would be without it. Tho that probably depends on many factors like your computer, how much additional content it has to load, how big and how full the chosen map is etc.
@@redwitch95 That may be true, but the more cores you have, the more other tasks can be redirected to them. I read somewhere that Sims 3 works best on 3 physical cores and on 4 it lags slightly. But then again, even Sims 4 still isn't fully optimised for anything above 4 physical cores, but that doesn't mean that more cores aren't helping, just that the game will not fully use them.
Don’t count on it
“Micky sells a kidney and buys all Sims 3 DLC”
“Spends over 2 hours on loading screens”
Steam: What a grand and intoxicating innocence. How could you be so naive? No refund or intervention can work on this marketplace
Come, lay down your wallet
Also steam: buy 3090TI

Shame on you, sweet consumers
He could have just played sonic 06 to get the same experience for way less $
@@9juju6 And bring your credit card, I have need of it
in case anyone wants to know, the reason why the game runs so badly is because it isn't optimized for newer graphics cards. someone made a mod that makes the game recognize newer graphics cards which cuts down the lag by A Lot. you can also cut down the loading times by turning off the interactive loading screens. with those enabled, the game is loading a lot of interactive images that cause the loading time to drastically increase AND make the game lag more. turning off memories and tips also improves frame rates!
EDIT: worth mentioning the game also runs better with the island paradise and into the future expansions disabled/uninstalled. those games are buggy messes that never got fixed and are overall not worth playing or owning
Actually, I play with ITF all the time and it's fine. For IP you want to get the NRaaS mod that cleans boats from NPC inventories because they just keep buying new boats every time they wanna cross water.
The game is also intentionally slowed down for no real reason. A mod came out just last year that made the game run normally
I agree in having installing island paradise is a mistake, BUT if you are playing in the island on island paradise that thing is magic, the hotels, the mermaids, the boats, everything is amazing, ooh and the taxi boats 🤧
Into the Future is fine.
what’s the mod?
I love how he bought the games literally a couple days before they all went on sale! 😂 ($10 USD for each pack and $66.50 USD for the whole collection. For those who may want them!)
🙃🙃
Rip his wallet 😭
Also there were more stuff packs than the ones on steam.
I hope they do this sale again
His bad for not taking a look at SteamDB, The Sims 3 goes on sale all the time.
Cannot wait to see micky sell all of his non essential organs to buy half of the dlc of the sims 4
sims 3 actually had more. Remember the sims store thing? You could buy cows, chickens etc for 20 bucks but you had to exchange real money into like whatever the hell the currency on the sims store was and THEN buy what you wanted. THey had so many sets/furniture essentially like expensive "kits". Someone mathed it out, sims 3 was worse.
@@wynngwynn Yeah, but the expansion packs had more a lot more content to play, sims 4 as now is not as complete as, idk, sims 3 or even sims 2 in terms of quality/money. Sims 4 wants you to pay 600-ish to get half of what sims 2/3 has to offer
PD: Both had terrible monetization, but sims 4 is worse
Unless he's a builder, he might get cheated on with the ratio of objects/kits compared to gameplay 🥲
There are people out there who actually spent full price on Sims 4 dlcs only to come for the objects and feel satisfied about them regardless.
@@wynngwynn thats mi rotransactions not DLC.
@@wynngwynn It's not really the same though, as they're more like microtransactions (idk how to write English) than packs. At least with the Sims 3 store, you can get that one item you want instead of buying kits/packs just to get one item you like. One of the clothing kits in Sims 4 has a jacket I like, but I don't really like the rest of the clothes so it's not worth buying
Just a heads up for anyone who wants to go back and play the Sims 3, you can actually play the game with all the expansions and stuff packs installed without too much fps drops and much quicker loading times, but there is a bit of work that has to be done. You need to get the NRaas mods(like Nraas Overwatch) as well as change a couple of settings like disabling story progression. All of the stuff you need to do to get Sims 3 running much better on modern machines can be found through a simple Google or RUclips search. You should also make sure that your base game as well as every single expansion is running on their own latest patch, because the launcher doesn't always update them for you automatically. I'm currently able to run a completely smooth game with all expansions and stuff packs installed as long as I live on a lot that's on the smaller side. Larger lots are still playable but do have a noticeable fps drop (still not as bad as in this video though).
Theres also steam guides for what to do which is super helpful, especially if you buy it on steam
Not all Heros wear capes
also, if you still want story mode you can install Nraas story mode and turn down a lot of the options. i honestly love story mode a lot, the game just aint the same without it
Also, when that littlle * symbol is blurry and kinda grey, its means the content still not fully loaded yet, when it is, it gets blue just like here 10:04 in the top right corner, and 10:07 it gets blue
Is it correct that you did not limit the frame rate to 60 (or 30)? If you haven't already, make sure you do so; the game will run noticeably smoother as a result. (Code to check fps - "fps on")
I obtained this same version of Sims 3 through........ "alternative" means. The load times were horrid. In the loading screen, you could click on objects that they told you to and you'd get a small amount of aspiration points. I remember getting a few thousand aspiration points just in the load screen alone. It was almost a full 10 minutes of waiting to get into a game on my old computer that I built in 2011
same part of why i ended up giving up on the sims 3 is because i could not handle the load times after downloading all the dlc.
If you turn off that loading screen minigame it loads faster.
You can turn off the minigame in the settings.
There's an optimizer somebody made for Sims 3 on Mod The Sims (MTS)
Yeah sailing the seven seas is always a good idea if you want to play anything published by ea.
@@TheVeryAngryShrimp yup NRAAS
When you said you played sims 3 as a kid, my ancient bones crumbled to dust
I know right. I'm over here enjoying my 'making magic' memories
Hot date was the best expansion
Mine did too. I haven't played a Sims game since Sims 2.
ngl, some of my first memories (7ish) are playing the sims 3 lol
@@ouryayommay9435 same here lol
Turning off the interactive loading screens can help a lot with load times! And honestly - don't get all the Sims 4 DLC, it's not worth it, none of it really changes the core gameplay in the way the Sims 3 DLC can & it's A Lot of money. That said - I love the Sims 3, thanks for revisiting it!
Honestly that drugs mod for sims 4 which makes a bazillion dollars on Patreon does more to meaningfully change the gameplay than any of the official expansions lol
they're starting to add some new actual content for sims 4 now that they're done with all of the map expansions and all that - which is a great sign
there's a new dlc called my wedding stories that came out a couple months ago that looks interesting but i don't own the game or the dlcs (i get it all through the seven seas) so maybe it's worth trying? no idea
@@Rogue_Nine416 unfortunately the my wedding stories DLC is so bugged it's basically unplayable :(
that and also there are optimization mods out there that speed it up a lot. i honestly forgot how bad the load times were because of those mods lol.
@@Rogue_Nine416 recommend me a good trading port or two real quick, if you do just remember to delete the message in a day or when I reply of course
If you haven't looked at it already, you're going to have a heart attack when you see the prices they have for simpoint items.
Lol yes I know right. Can’t believe the Sims 3 store still works. Just registered my Sims 3 base game and got the 500 free points and bought a few things last night. You can also still register world adventures for an additional 500 sim points too.
Scratch that lol you can just pirate the sims 3 store items if you search on the internet, download them and install them like custom content. It works and you don’t have to spend a fortune on the sims 3 store
Enough to make me shed a tear
@@Callieforniiaa I did that once by accident... I downloaded a cool house that used some of those items in the build and they all ended up in my game. It really surprised me that they didn't take any preventative measures
@@lemontree7792 because EA just wants a quick buck, they can afford to take the hit from pirating. hopefully people do it enough where they actually start to suffer though, they totally deserve it.
“I wasn’t expecting this”
*me a lifelong simmer* “ha, yeah, it takes me the course of 3 days to make a four person family”
Protip: You can disable the Sims 3 Store integration and the loading screen minigame in the settings. The minigame makes the game take longer to load. And disabling the Store integration helps you feel less exploited. There are also websites that offer the store content for free, but that's for another day :D
Over the years I brought all the DLCs and never understood why people were saying Sims 3 was working awfully with them, because once I upgraded from my shitty old laptop to a better gaming laptop it ran pretty smoothly!
After watching this video I know understand that I just have extremely low expectations and was conditioned by my laptop from hell to think games just have a loading time of 30min
I actually just picked up the last bit of Sims 3 DLC last month, went through an optimization guide and it works pretty well, the initial town loading takes a minute or so but other than that, no complaints on how it runs
Yes same, after i implemented the fixes sims 3 works better than sims 4 at present lmao
@@katierasburn9571 Hopefully Micky sees this and tries the optimizations for his casual playthrough!
@@dearman4 I have and hope to!
Apologies but Google brings up a lot of different things when I search for Sims 3 optimizations, do you have any specific guide you recommend or anything? I'd like to go back and play some Sims 3 in the near future and I'd like to fix the performance issues since last time I played loading times were ~15 minutes once I had some CC installed.
@@heyyitsultima okay I tried posting the link but it keeps getting deleted. The one I used is on the steam workshop
"If you're planning on doing this, don't."
Great review as usual, Micky.
My friends hated playing the sims games with me, I'd always end up getting everyone killed or trapping them in pools by selling the ladder. One time I sold the door to our house and started a fire, and every time he bought a new door I'd sell it before his guy could get out. Then the Grim Reaper showed up for us but couldn't get in without a door and fucked off after a while.
The Urbz on the Gameboy was my jam, though. Hours and hours spent just going around doing nothin', great days when I was a kid.
someone once did a calculation on the price of buying every single piece of DLC for sims 3 - including not only expansions and stuff packs but also every individual town, clothing item, furniture item, etc sold on the “SimPoints” store - $73,926.31 USD. enough to buy a small house outright with no mortgage in many places or to rent a fairly expensive apartment for 1-4 years. jesus christopher christmas. i knew it was a lot but i get sticker shock every time i look it up
At least a lot of the stuff on the Sims 3 store is optional. You don't have to buy it to have good gameplay. But dang, that price shocked me !
I was actually considering doing this lately. The fact that after all this time it's still so much is crazy. Ah well, back to the complete copy of 2 they gave out I go. Thank you for your sacrifice Micky, may you be granted your refund!
During steam sales, sims 3 and the dlc is usually 75% off, and the stuff packs aren't very important, so when there's a sale you can get the base game and the expansions for $60. And there's ways to improve performance
@@PhoebeTheFairy56 it's absurd that you have to do all of that for a fair deal and playable performance though
Yar har fiddle de dee
Still super annoyed that EA doesn't even sell Sims 2. I'd love to play it, but my pc doesn't have disc slot,,,
@@Game_Erica u can download the ultimate collection online and it has its own installer u dont need a disc or anything.
I bet he got a great deal on this game that's 13 years old, and it must run great since we've gotten such better processing power! And it's so cool that he could buy all the DLC in one go so he doesn't have to worry about microtransactions in the game!
The Sims 3 remains the best Sims game and well worth buying today. The base game is solid, but I also recommend the Generations and Seasons expansions (which flesh out the core experience as opposed to adding gimmicks, and won't overly degrade performance).
if you can get it to run, and have the means to get all the dlc(yarhar) those all honestly make it one of the best games there is imo. all the packs, even the gimmicky ones, synergize so well with the rest of the game, its crazy. tho i may be a bit biased because i get easily impressed by interesting game design, so just looking at how they work together is where i get a lotta my fun.
Nightlife is a good one too
i mean you could just follow the optimization guides online and keep ur game running with all the dlc’s installed, since I did that I haven’t had any issues
I salute your sacrifice in buying all of it's DLCs instead of pirating the good ones. o7
The absolute tragedy of all the Sims 3 DLC now being on sale for £59.85. Can only guess EA are tormenting Micky on purpose at this point.
7:00 Holy cow I was dying laughing. You were a human sim already. You just had the blue skin selected haha
I loved playing The Sims 2 at a friend's house with him and we were so hyped for The Sims 3. We put in tons of hours when it came out since it just felt like a great foundation for a better game in most every way. We were also both pretty broke so also never bought any DLC. A couple years ago, I... ehem, "bought" the DLC on the seven seas, and man, even with a great PC it is quite a pain to run.
If you haven't figured this out yet, sims 3 can run fine on newer pcs, but you have to install a few mods. Primarily one that makes it so it can actually like....detect newer GPUs, which is a majority of the reason why it doesn't run well on newer computers.
There's a good guide on the steam version's workshop that should get it running well on modern computers without as much issue!
The biggest obstacle for it's performance is it being trapped in 32 bit, essentially capping it's performance to an amount where it is impossible to have the game run perfectly with all the DLCs, even if you have the most godlike PC from like twenty decades in the future. Someone would have to either delve into the code and optimize it manually, or bring the game into 64-bit. That is, unless you have a mac for some odd reason, as the mac version is the only version of Sims 3 that runs on 64-bit, and that for whatever reason we never got a 64-bit windows version.
@@zaxentothegreedy7816 and for what its worth the OSX sims 3 is even more logically broken from the shoddy porting to 64 bit
@@lesslighter Ouch, even a small win like this ends up being another loss.
@@zaxentothegreedy7816 apparently the windows version ends up being the most "stable" version of sims 3.... :/ so really if we want a good x64 bit Sims 3 it has to be written nearly from bottom up
Still better then the sims 4 the fact you could play sims 3 without any dlc and still have a super good experience
back when sims 4 released they often put sims 3 on sale with everything for $5 or less, didnt realise they stopped doing that :/
that still happens on steam on occasion
Seriously? Oh my god, this is tragic
last time i looked on the sims 3 page on steam, i saw that the base game was on sale for 5 bucks. don’t quote me on that tho !
He was human. He just still had the blue skin and genie outfit which is available to all sim types. 😂 you can change the skin colour by pressing the little down arrow next to the slider
Back in the day, there used to be an entire suite of fix mods for Sims 3. No idea if they're still around but the guy that made them was named NRaas. Most of the stuff he made were mods that helped with the optimization issues (to say nothing of the excess junk that the game left in memory during gameplay and never unloaded). I couldn't play the game without the NRaas mods and watching you try reminded me why.
Yeqh i still have some of it on my usb
Definitely still around! Theres even more mods and fixes these days, like lazyduchess’s smoothness patch that came out this year! Its all in the steam guide :)
Yeah nraas is still around but make sure not to have an ad blocker or else it will not let you into the site oh well it happens
When you select genie and it changes you into this clothes, when you go back to human it'll keep that style so all you have to do is change the skin, clothes, hair etc. It wasn't a performance problem
There was a spring sale and also back at Christmas time and I didn't realize how much dlc these games have and also how expensive. It was like three pages worth of dlc for the Sims games all on their own. You'd be buying like 5 full priced games at least for all of it it seemed like. Crazy hahahaha
While out sailing the high seas, I came across a copy of the Sims 4 lazily floating above the water. The bloody thing must've fallen off the back of a pirate ship, earlier that day. Just out of curiosity, I brought the game on board. And to my surprise, these pesky pirates removed all the in-game advertisements, unlocked all the DLC, and it still works online. I was shocked. Who would ever do such a thing to such a kind, generous, and consumer friendly corporation such as EA. Absolutely disgusting.
Beurtifur poetree. I shall be plundering for that booty on distant bays not inhabited by pirates.
This has my attention 👀
We love you Micky D, he just spent all his live savings and sold his home to do this for us in a game that's +10 years old that runs pretty badly
I love poor financial decisions
1:30 in answer to why the sims 3 runs so poorly: I'm not making this up, but it was all Spore's fault. If I remember correctly, the story is that The guy who did most of the coding for Sims 2 went off to make Spore. So a new guy came in. This new guy decided to have everyone code in C++. When the dude was done with Spore's development, he made everyone code in C#.....something else happened that I can't remember and they coded the rest of the game in PYTHON.
TL;DR: Sims 3 is so poorly optimized because it's coded in THREE different coding languages. And I'm pretty sure that's the reason Sim-gri-la has that memory leak, as well.
There used to be a pretty neat and pretty active modding community around Sims 3 that added tons of great hair/clothes/furniture that was always way better than most of the DLC stuff, plus new features and improvements to the game. I don't know how active that community is now, but it is something worth investigating. If I remember, they had a bit of a beef going on with Nexus Mods, so they rarely ever posted their stuff there.
They mostly moved to Sims 4 but the Sims modding community is mega active
its still somewhat active, but its mostly people updating the mods theyve already made rather than making new ones. still, its a great modding community.
Man, I miss the Sims 3. It had more content did the Sims 4 and felt more alive and expansive.
Sims 3 on the wii was where it was at. Game took 3 minutes to load every time you entered or left a lot. BUT you could wind surf, therefore it was perfect.
You weren't a genie anymore, you just didn't change the skin color and the clothes
I was literally talking to my friend just 1 hour ago about me playing Sims 3 again and missing those times, and then I see this ahah
I have so many good memories from sims 3 and 2! Not so much from 4... :)
4 is much better in some ways, and much worse in others. There’s really no in-between.
I dont want to tell you what to do but you better do at least a full series
I'll definitely be doing more Sims!
I remember there literally being a warning at the launcher urging you to turn off some DLC if you tried to launch it with more than like 5.
A new video from the Oblivion Adult Mod review guy, my Saturday night is complete
Hey Micky D, try uninstalling some of the packs for the game to run better. I think it was show time and the holiday one that was the problem.
The genie thing that happened wasnt a glitch. You were just switching between genie and human dressed as genie lol.
Honestly i love this game and i love your channel so i hope you can play more of this :D
When you changed your sim back to human, you were then definitely a human not a genie, the game wasn’t glitching, you just kept the blue skin and the clothes. In the sims you can still wear genie clothes or have unnatural colored skin and be human. You have to click on the skin and select a skin palette that was natural and not blue, and change your clothes if you wanted to “look” more human. I agree sims 3 is so glitchy and slow, but that wasn’t a glitch, coming from someone who has been playing sims 3 for 12 years (2009).
You definitely need to do some unofficial patches and optimizations. I got this to run buttery-smooth on a 6th gen PC with onboard graphics but an SSD is still a huge must to be honest
Its not gon change much. The game was not developed in 64bit, the limitation will always be there.
Damn, I loved Sims 1 and especially 2, those were the days, and that music, still love it. I remember playing this game as well with Pets, University and the travelling DLC, it was playable and enjoyable, even though I was a bit bitter about them removing a lot of stuff from 2 just to sell them to me as DLC. Then I tried the complete edition with all the DLC, it made me and my PC cry, so no thanks. Never touched Sims 4, and probably never will.
My favourite Sims are 1 & 3. They're great games full of content.
Sims 4 on the other hand...
Well, Sims 4 has wicked whims... 🤓🤓
Sims 2 is the best Sims
3 is close second
Just pretend it didn't exist
The reason Sims 4 was stripped back is because it wasn't initially intended to be in the same vein as the other games. During development, while it was still called "project Olympus", they were planning to make it an online exclusive game. Then SimCity happened, and Maxis was told to pivot the project into a mainline title, within a short timespan.
that and i imagine EA probably came up with the brilliant idea to cut most of the content from the base game and release it throughout the next decade as overpriced dlc...
"Inspect Portal? Where's this gonna take me? It's gonna take me to the store page isn't it?!" HAHAHAHAAA!!!! PLEASE, I'm howling! 🤣
University life was the only dlc who made me want to play sims 3 after that i got bored and find better management game as Banished
So I am not the only one who is returning to the Sims out of a sudden. Out of nowhere the thought of giving Sims 1 and 2 again crossed my mind this last week.
Strange... And it's not just Micky D, I saw other channels making videos on Sims in the past two months.
over my childhood i ended up having 13 sims 3 expansion packs. all of them were gifts. so a good ~5 years of my life i was being given sims 3 ep for holidays
Even though this video proved buying all the DLC for The Sims 3 is a bad idea, it cemented the fact that The Sims 3 is still better than 4 lolol... so glad I bought 3 instead.
Literally shaking and crying that you likened the time traveler to R&M instead of BTtF. Jkjk, it was hilarious. Great video as always. I love that you're branching out from TES games!
I loved The Sims 3 when it came out, it was so much fun to visit neighbours and locations in the city easier than before. But it was 2009, I've gotten a bit old for this game...
@jackthegamer yeah i mean sort of feel the same way about the sims 4
I don't think the game has an age limit
There's no such thing as being "too old" for a game. I'll be 27 soon and I still enjoy booting up my old Sims 2 game from time to time. Play what makes you happy.
@@AetherealGirl Maybe they mean it in the sense that, at their age they don't have the time for it?
Thank ya for playing everything in my childhood lad I can’t wait to see ya play the Jedi Knight series next given the track record XD
Also first comment ;3
Micky seems like a genuinely nice bloke, I'd really want to have pint with him someday
This is technically *not* the complete package. You forgot about The Sims 3 Store, where you used "SimPoints" that you bought for real money to get things not included on Steam... though there were some free things offered there too.
When it comes to what *I've* spent SimPoints on, the list includes the Door of Life and Death (which, in addition to being usable as an ordinary door, lets you summon the Grim Reaper, or at least an NPC who looks like him since it doesn't count as him internally), a magic cauldron, a voodoo doll, a crystal ball, a deep fryer, an ice cream machine (both of which can be mixed for deep fried ice cream), a slot machine, the Plants Vs. Zombies Sunflower (which Sims can use to dance to a techno, metal, or acoustic instrumental remix of Zombies on Your Lawn or two clips of Grasswalk, the Day level theme), the Cowplant, an arcade machine themed after the Cowplant, and a playground spring ride also themed after the Cowplant.
Micky D is like a long lost friend.. from Ireland. Love your content and sense of humor (should've chose that trait lol).
All that DLC and you didn't get the Katy Perry candy themed expansion. OOOF!
That's the one I wanted! Thought it would have came with the collection....
@@MickyD If you happen to find a physical copy you can still get it.
@@MickyD it was so hated that it was discontinued 😂
Omg the sound effect when you picked up the power cell, love it :D
People complain that the Sims 3 is expensive, but at least the dlc adds gameplay to your game and is in depth. For the longest time, I only had sims 3 base game and world adventures and I was fine with it. It gave me enough gameplay and depth. While the Sims 4 is way more expensive and it gets boring so quickly. The Sims 4 could never.
I just want a remaster of the Sims 3. But I am glad NRAAS and other mods exist to help with game performance and lag. At least Sims 3 doesn't have crazy amount of bugs and glitches like the Sims 4.
Despite all of its flaws, I respect the Sims 3 for at least being ambitious.
The only sims points thing I bothered with is the Dragon Valley pack, because it adds dragons and a new world. They still should just have listed the sims point items as a regular dlc in that regard
6:40 I laughed at how new you were because it's just a blue skintone that you can change with the button next to the skintone slider😂 I hate genies for this, it takes a long time to change clothes for sims because of lags and I didn't know that genies change skintone and clothes and all my time was wasted. And if you turn Sims into a genie in the game with an elixir, he will completely lose his appearance with genetics and become a clone with a pudding face
The jak and Daxter power cell sound brought back a bunch of memories. I wasn't even paying attention to the video at that second and I noticed it. Super cool
"If you're planning on doing this, don't."
Aye, Aye Captain
This makes me want to play all the Sims again so bad
You just gave a EA a Mr.Krabs moment for our entertainment you madlad!
I absolutely love sims 3 and its such a nostalgia trip but the performance of this game was literally better on my crappy computer from 2012 than my modern 2020 computer it's such an unoptimized game but i love it
Im glad im not the only one who cheers on a slow loading bar. Come on, buddy, you can do it!!
Some mods improve the performance considerably. Nras and Smooth Patch are two that are basically critical these days.
19:10 The Weather Stone appears when you combine the Seasons and Supernatural packs. Vampires, werewolves, fairies, and witches are able to interact with it to summon a certain type of weather based on their species (to temporarily give them a benefit when using their powers). Human sims and occult types not mentioned can only look at it.
Thank you for this! 🥺❤️ I missed playing the Sims 3.
This is some quality content!
I just started playing the sims again and I only had the late night expansion but the expansions do make the game a lot better
And the mods are amazing
Gotta mod demon baby back in for the authentic sims 3 experience.
Micky doing a Sims 3 video is like the ideal content for me
I saw the thumbnail and I had to click 1 because I love this game and used to play it a lot back in the days and 2 I knew you had to spent a pretty penny for the whole thing so here's my support
I miss the customization so much on Sims 3 with the patterns and colors of the clothing
There are loads of fixes and tweaks to make this run TONS better. There are some must-have mods that improve the game as well as additional bug fixing and general stability. This all comes at a cost of 'holy crap you gotta learn all that set up so much.'
Sims 3 is such a bitchy girl but OMG with all her quirks it's just so good. Even with ALL those DLCs and stuff packs and store content installed, it CAN run well (not perfect, just well). The main issue is that it is on a 32-bit application and they overloaded the engine framework.
The crazy thing is that's not even all of it if you were to buy everything for the Sims 3 including the unlisted Katie Perry Sweet Treats expansion pack and all of the store content according to the internet it costs a grand total of $74,926.31! And people complained about The Sims 4 being overpriced like Jesus fucking Christ!
Honestly wouldn't be opposed to seeing more Sims Content Micky!
Just a heads up the loading screens are a mini game if u pay attention to it
Oh, is that why it was telling me to find things?
Damn, enjoy your second mortgage, we appreciate you for it!
I really thought i have a bad computer…but seeing a youtuber also having trojble with the sims 3 kinda makes me happy hhaha kiddin ..love your Videos🫶🏻
The weather stone is from the Supernaturals dlc. If you're a witch, vampire, fairy, or werewolf there's some sort of ritual that your sim will do and will give benefits. This is a very unoptimized game but it's bearable with mods, still my favorite Sims and I still go back to it from time to time. Good times
Hi D , there are ways to make it run smoothly, look for ways to make it run well
This is the one game I've pirated and it ran pretty good, even with all the dlc's. So perhaps the performance dropped bc of a patch or something
5:39 You can change the wing shape and color with the wings button that appears to the side.
Also genies are the easiest occult type to play as, imo. You can summon perfect quality food and magically clean yourself, other sims, and your house.
I got one word for ya Mickey, just one word. Mods. . . Ok more than one word, nraas error trap, overwatch, GPU add on, and RAM editor (I've read conflicting reports on if that last one really works or not but I think I got a performance boost off it). Basically fans toke it upon themselves to optimize the Sims 3.
This was cool, but I'd love to see you do a video on Sims 2 :)
I am fully convinced that those games weren't designed to run with all of the DLC purchased. It's simply a la carte pick and choose. This game is janky as hell the way Mick has it
7:20 says it all 🙈
Mickey D one of my favorite RUclipsrs.
Pro tip: you get free Sims points from installing the expansion packs and registering them to your Sims 3 account. Just go to your profile on the Sims 3 site and there will be an option to claim them.
I miss sims 2 local co-op, playing it with my brother was fun. Haven't been too excited for a Sims since they removed it.
Sims 2 had local co op?
Never heard of that coop
@@mimae2240 yup, also Bustin Out.
Don't worry about buying Sims 4, its basically just Sims 3 but with more shit cut out for them to sell back to you at 5.99$+
This was hilarious micky! You need to make more sims videos
Modern Sims games really make me want to drop kick someone out a window, down to the beach where a lovely picnic is layed out before they get swallowed whole by a whale. If you're gonna make dlc for a game 1. don't make too many EA!... and 2. make sure your game can actually play it all simultaneously. and finally 3! Don't force people to sell an arm and a leg and their first born just to get all the content! That's good games development practice EA! Yes EA I am speaking to you!
Anyway, on a more :D note, this was quite entertaining. Hats off to you Mickey, let's hope selling your kidney was worth it
Just looked on Steam and currently sims 4 with all DLC is £813.
