The Sims 3 will forever hold a special place in my heart. I first discovered the game through Pets 360 console version, then PC, and the rest is history.

Used to play a lot of it back in 2011-2013 with just a few expansions, but it was enough to give me joy. As time went on, I kind of stopped playing. I did play The Sims 4, but it doesn't really spark joy the same way it did in 3.

Fast forward to now, the whole Sims 3 collection on Steam went on sale for a reasonable price. I decided to buy it, and am already getting sucked back into the game easily after so many years. Thank you for being an awesome part of my childhood, my favorite go-to comfort game.

It will just not run after install.

Why?
Lazy(perhaps even incompetent) Devs haven't updated the game to modern day.

After You pay them your money, it will be Your problem to find out, how to make it work.

Go google or just give up and dont play it.
They dont care.

What You need to do:
Download patch from some website and run it in your pc.

What else that patch does in your computer besides helping run that game?
I have no glue and nobody gives any warranties.

If You get that game working, then dont forget to save just in case it crashes sometimes. Like it just happened to me(i gave too much trust and did not save for many hours).

SO much better than the sims 4. More depth and distinct sims.
