My laptop is a samsung rv511. Rather annoyed that the laptop repair man never stated that he put a motherboard in that wasnt the same as current. It used to be an i5 with nvidia geforce card. now its an i3 with intel HD graphics!
Some of the RV511 models came with Nvidia Geforce 315M graphics card, but I haven't seen anyone with an i5 CPU, they all seem to have Intel Core i3 380M or Intel Pentium P6100.
@WillowsGall - A GeForce 315M is not generally deemed capable of running TS3, at least not in any supported way. I would say that you were very fortunate with that unit in the past up to a point.
Regardless of how you got to where you are now, you currently have a 32-bit OS tight on RAM, an i3 that I'm not sure can even support dual graphics (honestly am not sure about this but since you don't have dual any longer guess it's not important), and as you have seen no dedicated graphics card. You also have a 114.5GB hard drive, which over time is going to be really tight on space. It looks like the original drive was 500 GB. Again, this may not be how that unit was originally designed but as it stands now it is not suitable to play TS3. Do you have any recourse with whoever performed this "repair" job?
If that's a lost cause, I'm afraid you're going to have to find a way to up the budget for a new one a bit, seriously consider a desktop, or possibly find a different game to play difficult though I am sure that would be to accept. Forcing the machine you now have to perform better with TS3, depending on how many and which EPs we are talking about, is only going to damage it after a while and you will constantly be bumping up against the HD's space and its total RAM constraints. http://modthesims.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:Onboard_Graphics http://modthesims.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:Your_Computer_is_Like_a_Car
What is the newest model of MSI Laptop GT70 Series or GT80 Series or whats the better laptop
Thanks phoebebe13
It looks like the GT70 is older it has an 800 series card which is no longer made. The 900 series cards are better and newer. The 1000 series is even better and the newest nvidia cards
oops sorry i 4got it was meant to say it was the GT72S 6QE not GT70 sorry about that, the laptop i seen is the GT72 6QE Dominator Pro, and it's specs are
Intel i7-6820HK Quad Core(2.7 Ghz, 8MB Cache, Intel Turbo Boost Up to 3.6 Ghz)
32GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M with 8GB GDDR5 Dedicted Memory

Are those specs great for the MSI GT72 6QE Dominator Pro G?

GTX 980 is too much and a 128 gb ssd too small. You need 250 gb or more on SSD. Better to have 500gb ssd so you don't have to move files to run the sims 3 on ssd. I have a 250 gb ssd and have to move files. You need to leave 50 gb free with the sims games
The SSD is what will make the game load quicker. even a large save will load in 5 minutes or less with SSD

They will both be tied into origin unless you own the whole game on disc and the base game disc was issued before 2012 that does not require origin. The other option to play without origin is to own the game on Steam instead of origin

Your not supposed to alter your computer while under warranty . If you insist on buying MSI contact them directly
Just wondering - is there any way for a sim to acquire a vehicle without me purchasing it for them? There's a fancy expensive car in the drive way (and it does belong to the household, I can move it around in buy mode). I didn't buy it though, and this is the only household I actively play. My one sim is in the top of the music career, did she get it somehow? (I play with autonomy off).

That's probably their private limo. It's a career reward they get at Level 10 of the Rock Star branch of the Music career. I think Level 10 of the Symphonic Branch gets a snazzy state of the art stereo system.
Or could i wait until the warranty expires then do the upgrades and then extend the warranty?
Each company has their own warranty, contact the company directly like I mentioned. I believe you would have to purchase an extended warranty before the original warranty is up. They usually put the ssd on c drive so you would have to reinstall windows. Im sorry but these questions can not be answered here. We can only advise the best hardware for the game that meets the requirements. We have already done that. Two pages worth. Now this conversation is going in circles
i will look up if i can upgrade without damaging the warranty sticker, or i will remove sticker do the upgrade and then place the sticker back where it was so it looks like i never did anything to the laptop
You won't accomplish anything by removing and restoring stickers, an invalidated warranty is an invalidated warranty. Anyone bothering to look would be able to tell that your laptop had been opened up and a component replaced.
i know this isn't the right place to post this i apologize, one last question i'm wanting to make a new account with new email address and i'm a new member who and where could i ask to remove my current account from the forums
Only gurus and other EA staff can help with that. You should try to get the attention of @SimStaffBethelle.

i think the warranty is invalid if you damage the laptop, if you're careful and don't damage anything, i believe you're fine, i researched the question and it's correct, it's fine as long as you don't damage anything
Thanks i'll message them and ask them to remove my account
i'm not replacing anything, just wanting to upgrading the SSD and the RAM, that's all
If it's under warranty only the laptop company is supposed to open the laptop. And if you upgrade the ssd you will have to reinstall windows. When you add more ram your supposed to replace the ram. It has to be all same make and model. You could cause your computer to malfunction
PS if you void the warranty thats between you and your laptop company. Has nothing to do with us. Asking all these warranty questions are not for this forum. Your back to hogging up this thread again

It's a "Margaret Vaguester" car. I'm guessing it's her's? She is rank 10 in the symphony category.

Oh, that's probably the carpool vehicle for the upper career levels. There's a very old bug in the game whereby sometimes it gets stuck in your own household's inventory. I would just delete it, either using testingcheats shift-click or MasterController (Cheats module).

Documents folder > Electronic arts folder>The sims 3 folder. Pull the sims 3 folder to desktop and start your game. This will generate a new clean sims 3 folder.

Hi, I'm still a new member so I can't post a thread on its own yet. But I've been having an issue recently with the sound in my game. It sounds... not distorted, but a bit static-y and as if every single instrument is being played loudly at once. Not sure how to describe it. Nonetheless, it is a sound issue. I have an MSI QE62 60F APACHE PRO computer with Realtek audio. Brand new computer, got it two weeks ago or so. I love playing my game with the sound on and this is making it unbearable. Thank you if you could help.
10 mins into playing my screen goes black then says unsupported mode and restarts. All expansions expect Showtime and late night. Once booted back up it will ether do the same a few times or show a black screen with no signal and takes a lot of tinkering to get back a picture. Specs of PC are as follows
AMD FX-8300 3.30 GHz 8-Core
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 2 GB
8 GB DDR3
1 TB HDD
Dont know if it means anything but im using an old tv as a monitor with an HDMI cable. On the computer there is a spot that is labeled as HDMI and another that looks and fits the same. If i use the labeled one nothing shows up. So i use the unlables one a little lower on the back of the computer.

The one lower on the back of the case is the correct port to use its your graphics cards port.
Have you tried updating your GTX 960 drivers?
Comments
Some of the RV511 models came with Nvidia Geforce 315M graphics card, but I haven't seen anyone with an i5 CPU, they all seem to have Intel Core i3 380M or Intel Pentium P6100.
Samsung RV511 specs here and here.
Regardless of how you got to where you are now, you currently have a 32-bit OS tight on RAM, an i3 that I'm not sure can even support dual graphics (honestly am not sure about this but since you don't have dual any longer guess it's not important), and as you have seen no dedicated graphics card.

Again, this may not be how that unit was originally designed but as it stands now it is not suitable to play TS3. Do you have any recourse with whoever performed this "repair" job?
If that's a lost cause, I'm afraid you're going to have to find a way to up the budget for a new one a bit, seriously consider a desktop, or possibly find a different game to play difficult though I am sure that would be to accept. Forcing the machine you now have to perform better with TS3, depending on how many and which EPs we are talking about, is only going to damage it after a while and you will constantly be bumping up against the HD's space and its total RAM constraints.

AMD FX-8300 3.30 GHz 8-Core
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 2 GB
8 GB DDR3
1 TB HDD
Dont know if it means anything but im using an old tv as a monitor with an HDMI cable. On the computer there is a spot that is labeled as HDMI and another that looks and fits the same. If i use the labeled one nothing shows up. So i use the unlables one a little lower on the back of the computer.
The one lower on the back of the case is the correct port to use its your graphics cards port.
Have you tried updating your GTX 960 drivers?
