    Cale there are a number of graphical settings for this game.. it's designed for people who have a good DESKTOP and want better graphics then the console version. Please cale you need to understand that your laptop is simply not enough to run any new game. The people that play these games a gaming enthusiasts that have very good systems.
    I'm not even going to get the game until I upgrade my graphics card.. even though I sucseed the recommended specs. I know to really enjoy a game you need to spend money on a good pc.

    They put out the GTA V pc version in 4k but they also have a new console version for people who don't have 4k. The PC version is meant to be played in 4k

    No it's not meant to be played in 4k.. Lol that would alienate 90% of the people who do not have 4k monitors. But they made it so it can be played in 4k.

    I know people who don't have 4k can play it. Some people just have to play on PC regardless. Me, the only way I would want the PC version is if I could play it in 4k to get the full experience. I already have the old console version, its not a game that is that loved in this house that we feel the need to go out and get a newer console version. We dont have a computer that will play it in 4k but that is the only way I could justify re-buying this game is if I could play it in 4k

    Lol no game is worth buying twice. The pc version in non 4k still has a huge amount more graphical wise over the console versions. Everything looks better on the pc.. just got to have the horsepower to run it. Ok now I'm definitely going to bed now lol.. goodnight.

    Sometimes games are worth re buying if they are remade. I love the new remake of resident evil and they added more game play. Graphics look better. If they remake final fantasy VII like they are supposed to that I will be buying. Good night have a great sleep :D

    When I logged onto my Sims 3 this morning I got a new store patch. It did actually update my store patches too.

    EDIT: When my game loaded I got a missing objects warning - so something has gone wrong and I'll track it down now. :'(

    EDIT 2: I opened Downloads Dashboard. It seems about 20 or so items have become uninstalled - including at least one world. So I am trying to install them using the dashboard for now. But it is months since I made a new Sims 3 folder so maybe it is time for that now.

    I just got another notification to do a store patch. It is for the last 2013 patch.

    EDIT Again: It is all fixed - I ended up replacing my Sims 3 folder with a backup I made when I last made a new Sims 3 folder. I then added extras I have since downloaded or made and fixed a few issues I found around town. It all seems good now.

    How come almost every time I start Origin I get the message that it is updating? Doesn't cause any problems but its annoying.

    Hi, sorry that I'm disturbing here: but at least I'll find here all PC whizz together.
    I wanna only to advice, that there is something wrong with windows updates:
    http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/897813-latest-windows-update-corrupting-user-profile
    https://community.norton.com/en/forums/optional-update-kb2990214
    and in italian language:
    http://www.digital-forum.it/showthread.php?176470-Non-installate-la-KB2990214-su-Windows-7-e-8-(12-04-15)
    I have installed those updates on both Win 7 PC's and no one wanted to boot windows after rebooting. On this one I've at least got previous software configuration, for another one (my TS3 PC :'( ) it is for 3 hours in recreating re-image system. In italian topic I've read also, that many users have had to reinstall OS.
    "My Studio" on thesims3.com "My Blog" on thesims3.com
    Sorry for editing my comments frequently, in most cases I'm doing this due language issues (english isn't my native language, but I'm using english, because most used by people, with who I want to communicate).

    There is a bug with origin, uninstall it, clean your registry with CC cleaner and then reinstall origin.

    Yes. I've had feedback from one person that Savvy Seller mats I put into one of my builds didn't show up when they downloaded it.

    On investigation I discovered that deleting the files from DCBackup folder before loading lot onto the Exchange will cause this to happen.

    I also discovered later that this is not the case.

    @Crinrict has something on it in her blog.

    I have also found that if you don't delete the files from DCBackup before loading to the Exchange the store content can attach to the file and the lot loaded to the Exchange will never show up in you studio or the Exchange until the store content has been unattached and DCBackup cleared.

    The Exchange is a bit unpredictable.

    I have also found that the items listed in the Items page on the Exchange may have been included in the build - or not. I've seen items I didn't include listed there and also items from venues don't show in that list.

    I don't download stuff from the Exchange either so I have no idea what really happens.

    People have told me at TSR that if you delete the DC Back up this causes this issue.These issues happen at TSR too not just the exchange.

    That was the first thing I learned. Then I discovered if you don't delete DCBackup the things can attach and that is why you upload successfully but it never shows. I've done it both ways and it doesn't seem to make any difference -provided it is store stuff.

    If it is third party CC then it apparently has to be in DCBackup. But I don't have any 3rd party CC in my uploads.

    I only have two 3rd party cc lots at tsr and I do list the links. I have one I think that has store items and the others are eps only. I dont have much 3rd party cc in my computer at all. When I uploaded them had not cleaned out my dc backup. I did clean out my DC backup after I uploaded the lots.

    The only other suggestion I can think of is to get them to post in Creative Corner. Some of the people who post there have done lots of experiments on this and they have assured me the DCBackup files can be safely deleted. I tried it myself and found that if they are not deleted then things attach to lots and you get the problem of lots not appearing in the studio or on the Exchange. I have had that happen to me and fixed it by clearing the files (not ccmerged) from DCBackup and re-uploading.

    If that's true then there is a big price jump from 380 to 390. :o
    Looks like the 380X will be just Grenada (improved Hawaii) so not completely new.
    I guess we will know in June, but I also read somewhere that they will have a short supply after release.

    Hi :)
    I supposed to have my birthday party today, but my only guests overslept... LOL... At least I got some wishes on facebook...
    But I have my birthday present that I bought myself, which is good. I bought a... something called "display cabinet" for my living room - gosh it looks lovely now! No more huge bags hidden behind the tv! It was like that for the last 3 years!
    I got into redecorating my living room. I got a dinind table (no space in kitchen so had to go into living room) it is lovely! And it was free!!!! I only paid for transport. The same with the display cabinet - got it for free, paid for mileage. Now if I got everybody to clean the house... "mission impossible" :D
    And now I am on a big sellout - I want to sell 2 tv's br-player and other things to buy bigger tv and a car (with a bit of savings) our car packed out about two months ago... got scrapped :(
