I had sims 3 installed on my previous windows 7 laptop but never really had the chance to get into it, but looking through your screenshots thread, it looks amazing (especially some of the worlds you've created. I could never make anything that looked so beautiful) and it got me thinking; now I'm on windows 10 will it run OK?

edit to add: Unlike TS4, TS3 does not include v-sync through in-game settings. This is very important for this game and should be set to on or adaptive for dedicated cards through the control panel. If your computer has a newer card, you will get a notice about the card not being recognized. This shouldn't be a problem and can be ignored. In most cases, the dedicated card will still be used. All though... on a laptop you may need to direct it to do so.

OK, thank you. I've got a Nvidia 1060, presumably what you're referring to would be in the graphics options menu?

Just in case, maybe post your computer's specs here if you want to be sure your laptop will run the game properly. You'll need to manually cap fps rates as well, since the game doesn't do it on its own. Nvidia should let you do this without too much trouble.
Ah, such a good point. I turned off the Creator's update features a while back and forget about it. Here is the post you should follow to turn these features off @BabySquare

Thanks.
Hope yours works smoothly!

I've had headaches for the last couple of days so haven't had a chance to play again yet, but it's all installed, worked out who's gonna live where, and once I download the worlds I purchased from the stores I'll be ready to go.
When I've got some I'll post some pics.
