• This says it best: Everything seems clear enough except ... what does SC2K mean by "reticulating splines?" Or is it, what are "reticulating splines?" Obviously it must be some rather obscure and complex mathematical process, an alchemical algorithm, or a dead cool programming technique. Obviously. Will Wright, the author…

• Thanks for your input! :) I'll take another look at the video driver, then, but it seems strange the problem should start a while after the roll-back and not immediately afterwards. My PC processor runs steadily in the 30s and my GPU in the 40s - I have a 1000w PSU and a lot of extra cooling (chassis is Coolermaster Cosmos…

• I've been using Game Booster every time I play any game for a while now, and you may find it helps you speed up S3 a bit. Basically, it will shut down everything you don't need to put you in "Gaming Mode", then start it all up again at a single button click to put you back into "Normal Mode". Here:…

No graphics glitches, fluid gameplay, speed buttons all work (Sim can sleep a whole night in just over a minute, I guess). Whether it's significant or not, I…

• In S2 I always used this method... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbZdujwxLrs ...but it doesn't seem to work in S3. I'm trying to figure out the directions given in this thread, but I seem to be too stupid to understand them, lol. Someone can look at the above vid and explain the difference between the "old" S2 way and the…

• Well, after longing for S3 for so long, I started to feel really negative about it after reading so many posts about problems etc, but my game arrived yesterday and with some trepidation I installed it. I was sort of expecting hideous problems from the moment I put the disc in the drive, but... the install went quickly and…

• No problems at all. Graphics very good, speed button working fine (Sims sleep a full night in just over a minute on fastest setting), no crashes or glitches, no problems on install or registration. I feel a bit like a freak when so many others are having issues! Intel Core 2 Quad Q9950 2.83 GHz Windows XP Pro SP 3 4 GB RAM…
