As it stands the Sims 3 is a beautiful game in it's own right following the traditions of a long established gaming tradition. With a mass of enhancements it's not designed to run lightly. The 2.4Ghz Processor is a key in itself, not to worry though :) Its run on 1.74 upward!! As lng as the rest of your system is upto spec.

Anyhow enough of that with hours of gameplay and of course the ability to control every aspect of your sims life. When they get old wall em up til they die, or play through til they pass onto the afterlife (THey'll be back and haunt you I promise) But as it stands the game is beautiful in every respect and darn good game.

The out comes the World Adventures Expansion Pack requiring at least the 1.6.6 patch before it'll even entertain the idea of installing it. Yea the 1.6 that incidentally breaks the save files!

Got to admit though jetting off to egypt and china for hours of tomb exploration and camping is so fun! I love this pat of the new expansion! Run like hell though cos a Mummys curse will spell your end! It's hours of fun and exploration!!

HOWEVER and I stress this EA have a tendancy to do more harm than good. WIth updates releases relaively often I have found several of these break rather than make the game better. 1.6 Update totally messed up any ability to save a game and the newest 1.11 patch just totals the game, of course this may not be true for yourself but the general point is EA should just leave things alone!!
