I have my Steam library (which is the one I play), and I have an Origin copy from registering the Steam keys.Īnyway, it's a pretty sweet deal if you never use Origin since the money you get for selling the key could get you your game content free or real close to it. I have two complete copies of the game, for example. Anyway, people were buying content on Steam, especially during a sale when you could pick up everything for about $5 each, and then selling the product keys since that could get you a second copy on Origin. Steam and Origin don't really talk to each other and I'll leave it to you on the question of whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. Mostly because Steam has taken hiding them. Początkowo opublikowane przez Prissy:When I bought all the packs for The Sims 3, I have looked *EVERYWHERE* for the activation code/key for the Pets pack. I used it once and got tired of the popup notices so I uninstalled it.Īlso, some very good advice from cruinne: There is also a free cleaner you can get for it, but then after a while you'll get constant notices to "upgrade" to the paid version, and the free version will stop working. It's a hassle to fix, but there are guides to help with that. Keep in mind that if you install any DLC and then try to uninstall it later, there will still be some registry gunk left behind that will probably disable your ability to open the game. I have instructions for helping with that below, if you experience it. The biggest problem people have is lag and the bugs created by the lag. I don't use the Nraas mod, but a lot of people do, and it seems that if you want to get more than 5 or 6 DLC's, it's probably necesssary to get it. Yes, and if you have any problems there are some very good guides on here to help you. Początkowo opublikowane przez Doomslayer NepNep:ive been looking and how great the sims 3 is and im planning on getting it are there any performance issues or bugs i should know about? Here are some good guides with a lot more information: The game will create new ones when you play it again. There are 5 cache files that should be deleted every time you end a play session. This is what I had to do when I was working on a shrimp of a machine for a while. Resetsim nameofyoursim (whatever that name is)Ī more extreme measure for those with serious issues where the above 4 steps are still not enough: Limit customizations as much as possible, i.e., just use whatever generic Sim/house/items the game has, and don't change the colors and patterns or build your own house, etc. If one of your Sims gets really laggy, or yours or any other Sim gets stuck, use the reset function. Better still is to only let the game do fast-forward for sleep cycles. If I'm using it for actions my Sim is doing, I will often pause it after a bit - do a save - and then continue. In general, the fewer details the game has to keep track of in your inventory, the better.ĭon't go crazy with the fast-forward button. Either I sell them all, or keep only the ones that are of the same quality for the best garden fertilizer. A max of about 200 units per inventor table or Sim inventory is best for my Sims. Acquire what you need, and use it, then get more. Try to get to the point where you only have edibles of the same quality in each stack - like all Perfect apples, and all Perfect life fruit.ĭon't collect or buy too much scrap for your inventors. Keep the count of those apples and limes below 100 each. If you have a gardener, it's easy to get way too much stuff in your inventory, and this causes a lot of lagging, and subsequent bugs. I've learned to clear excess baggage out of my Sims' inventories on a regular basis. You can either keep reusing about 9 - 12 different save names, or you can purge old saves on a regular basis. Don't use the "Save" button.) Whenever my game seems to be getting buggy or has severe lagging, I try finding a save from before the problem started. (Always use the "Save As" button and use different names. I'm not using any mods yet, so here is some of what I do: As far as I know, the Katy Perry pack is no longer available anywhere. I was merely wondering **WHY** I don't see the activation code for Pets even through Origin! That was **why** I decided to buy everything - with the exception of the Katy Perry Sweet Treats pack (cos steam doesn't have it anymore). Playing this game - The Sims 3 - was SOOO laggy. Początkowo opublikowane przez Prissy:When I *bought* the Pets pack - because for whatever reason, my disks were getting funky - EA/Origin already knew I owned everything.
