Hi all, just wanted to say a massive thanks for replying and giving me more perspective! In the end I chose not to buy any of the packs and instead invested in a Nintendo Switch :wink:. I will eventually come back to the Sims 4, so will likely end up buying one of the packs (which one? I still don't know). Happy simming! :)
Sorry to bump an old thread, but I would like to let you all know that I took the plunge and bought the base game yesterday! :wink: Got it for less than £18, and am now tempted to buy Get Together (only £14!). I bought this game knowing it will be a completely different experience from the Sims 3, and it has actually been…
Hi everyone, thank you so much for your advice! :smile: As expected, mixed views. I think I'm going to go with the general advice on waiting to avoid wasting my money and risking 'buyers remorse' (@DeservedCriticism). Also @alan650111, great idea- I'll start watching gameplay videos for more insight. I must admit, the…
@ceejay402 - you never guess what?! I got my game to recognise my card= no more pixelated tree/building shadows!! :smiley: So happy! Thank you for all of your help @ceejay402, turns out I did not even need to reinstall my drivers. If anyone has this issue please read this thread. A lovely simmer on there even wrote out the…
Second part (don't know why they are two parts?). Thanks for all of your help!: Name: AMD Radeon R7 Graphics + R7 200 Dual Graphics Device ID: PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_6611&SUBSYS_3D791642&REV_00\4&AC7F6AD&0&0011 Driver: C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRIVERS\atikmdag.sys, 8.01.0001.1533 (English), 12/16/2015 19:31:14, 23969808 bytes Driver:…
@ceejay402- I tried to copy and paste the full report but the character count was too high, so I've pasted the drivers. Hopefully you can understand this (only info relating to graphics). 🐸🐸🐸🐸, still too long. Here is the first part relating the graphics card: Name: AMD Radeon(TM) R7 Graphics Device ID:…
Wow! Thanks for this. So is there another set of drivers I am missing? AMD is so confusing (I've always has a Nvidia card). I'll def do a clean install, but now I'm just wondering about this dual graphics business. I can post my full report if you want (should of done this in the first place-apologies!). Also I've seen the…
Hi @ceejay402, thanks for your reply! I have the exact same graphics card as @LeahxRIx8 and have tried to follow the simwiki (it didn't work). I am more confused about where (location) to add my card in both sgr files. To be honest, my game runs perfectly (so is utilising the GPU), but I'm having the pixelated shadow…
I have the exact same card/problem- where did you add the card in those two files? My attempt at adding it at the top of the ATI cards (on the graphicscard.sgr) did not make a difference :(
@Karritz Sorry to bother you (again!). I've now got a another PC and have been installing my Sims 3 discs. However I realize that I bought a digital download copy of one the expansion packs (University Life)- Origin is now saying to me I need to update my game to the dreaded 1.69 before downloading/installing it! Do you…
Just thought I'd put a update to you helpful simmers @phoebebebe13, @Nichaedemus and @Karritz . Once again, thank you all of your help. Unfortunately nothing worked for my game, so I have no choice but to say goodbye. However not all is lost, I will be buying a new PC soon (this one has been dying for years, I'm guessing…
Thanks @Nichaedemus, I'll be trying this today as my last attempt at saving my game. I also found a post from yourself on the Sims 3 forum regarding safe mode installation- was very helpful. :smile:
Great article, thanks for the link. Silly question but I install my games on my D: drive- I currently have a 'Sims 3' folder on there (in a EA folder) which is presumably from the Origin digital download, should I delete this before attempting to install (again)?
Karritz, I need advice :(. The copy and paste method failed again (I kept getting an error on certain HTML files, it would then freeze up after). So I rooted around my drive and found a folder with an installer for the base game (I presume it's from the Origin digital download?). I then clicked the setup.exe and apparently…
I too have accidentally updated my game! :,( I'm currently mourning right now as my pre-2012 base game disk fails to install the base game (annoying Cyclic Redundancy Checks), has anyone got past this issue? I've been trying for two days straight. Someone help, please!
Like many others, I downloaded this game with very low expectations (from the bad reviews/lack of features). However I was surprised and did play longer than I expected! Will I buy it? No... The Good- all the new stuff (emotions, multitasking) etc. + Despite hating the lack of open world, the loading screens did not take…
> @MJacksonista said: > I was just thinking about buying University too :neutral_face: welp now I'm concerned lol Hahaha @MJacksonista, it's a great expansion- I would recommend it! My Bridgeport save may be a bit dodgy, hence this silly bug.
> @igazor said: > Pritzooo wrote: » > > For anyone experiencing this problem, I have found a solution (not a fix!). You will need NRaas mods (master controller) and to enrol your sim back into University. Once back in Uni, invite the sim you want to add the household over and using the mod, add him to your home family via…
