My laptop isnt even a year old and was VERY slow. which is odd because my sims 2 is super fast. Does anyone know why its running so slow?

Annie, you have to check your laptop's specs and compare it to The Sims 3 system requirements. It might simply be because your laptop's hardware isn't good enough to run the game. Try playing the game on the lowest possible graphics settings and see if that improves.

I'm not even going to bother with The Sims 3. My computer will die trying to run it. I will just have to stick with The Sims 2.

I got mine on friday.
I actually find it runs a lot smoother and faster then the Sims 2.
It took me awhile to get use to all the new changes but now I love it!
(:

It's really difficult to take pictures on the sims 3, I takes me longer to get my sim in frame then take the picture.

One tidbit what i adored was when i went to the spa, the old sims 1 music was playing, such nostalgia.

I had my sim adopt a female baby and she turned out to be fat, clumsy, heavy sleeper and easily impressed. My sims other daughter is a vegetarian, and i bought the cookie recipe from the store and when i go on the sims next, i'll get her to make the family some cookies.

oh and i hate that they took memories out, i hope they put them back in when they do the first EP.

Story Progression sucks too, Bella, Morty, Kaylynn, all the people i had plans for have grown up in adults and its way too late to do all i plans i had I hope EA release a patch to fix the toggle on story progression, I'm so not switching families until a patch comes out and fixes that issue.
