That might be correct actually.. I've noticed that there is a very long road etc and there is no 2nd 'city' to go to so actually i believe that.

 

About the 'bugs' part etc i don't believe that cause mine runs well all on max and been playing it alot lately and have not had any major issues or anything, only thing i notice is when i go to fast with scrolling or zooming in and out it takes alittle bit to load the textures etc but doesn't bother me.

 

However either way, when its released its gonna be pirated again anyway.

:pirategold:

 

 

Edit: Aswell i have version 1.0.615.00107 To check that load up The Sims 3 Game Launcher and it tells you what version you have.

[StrickenHAWK?]

arrr, ye all be a pirate!

[KoenigseggBG]

arrr, ye all be a pirate!

Yes, all of us have been a pirate atleast once. Face the truth, it's the easiest and cheapest way to get stuff from the net.;)

You can download a new city for free if you register or something. I have read that somewhere

Found this article - 'You will pay for The Sims 3 more than once' - http://fidgit.com/archives/2009/05/you_will_pay_for_the_sims_3_mo.php

[KoenigseggBG]

So, it's kinda "cash cow" for EA again? :rolleyes:

I guess thats why there is a file called 'InstalledWorlds' inside the main save file. :confused:

 

 

Oh just so people know these are the official system requirements.

Windows Supported Video Cards

NVIDIA GeForce series

FX 5900, FX 5950

6200, 6500, 6600, 6800

7200, 7300, 7600, 7800, 7900, 7950

4850, 4870

 

Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA)

Laptop versions of these chipsets may work, but may run

comparatively slower. Standalone cards that are installed in

vanilla PCI slots (not PCIe or PCIx or AGP), such as some

GeForce FX variants, will perform poorly.

 

Integrated chipsets such as the ATI Xpress and the NVIDIA

TurboCache variants may default to settings that are higher

than what would be optimal for them. Graphics settings

can be lowered to improve performance.

 

The NVIDIA GeForce FX series is unsupported under Vista.

X1600, X1900

2400, 2600

That was in a readme.txt file..

[Who]

oh, my computer is running windows 7 with 1 gb of ram and that works too ;)

 

edit: also, looks like the earlier city mentioned is basically DLC... which is very obviously going to end up on the interwebs for all of us pirates...

Well then i guess us pirates have the full game.. :cheeky:

 

I guess EA said that just so people don't think twice about downloading it and not buying.

[Immelmann]

It's total bull. What, are they gonna make a whole new city in 2 weeks? :p

[Iced_Bullet]

If they have made DLC content to seel at a later date, then what they say is true, about it not being the full game. However this would be the same as if you went to buy the disc from the shops. I don't know about the buginess or crashes as I haven't come across anything as of yet ...

[Latetzki]

Big deal. Almost every game will come out downloadable before official release. But gotta say, Sims 3 was disappointment.

[Tool831]

Here we go.. :D Screw you EA! All i have to do is register when the games out in Aussie land and free farm town for me.

 

[Immelmann]

It's taking soooooo long to download

[SLRRR]

That's what i ment :)

[Nipper]

Is it me, or is there already user created content available for download? ^^

[ShadowGT]

I think it's all stuff made by maxis at the moment.

[Tool831]

Is it me, or is there already user created content available for download? ^^

 

There is, except im not risking to sign up or do anything as such just yet. I believe they might of done a NFS DLC trick by putting in the extra content inside the Sims 3 and just want people to buy it to unlock it. :rolleyes:

[Immelmann]

Er, wait what?

[Tool831]

I'll say it again.. :cheeky:

 

They most likely have the DLC inside the sims 3 already, except they are gonna charge people just to unlock it.

 

NFS undercover has the same thing, they have a superlaggera? within the game files and can be unlocked by HEX editing the game. But later on when Undercover DLC comes out they will obviously charge people to have it even know its within the game anyway.

 

Make sense?

[superhyper]

Make sense?

 

At least I understood it. Should I preorder the collectors edition? :P I would get the cool USB flash drive which is shaped like...errr....that thing that floats above sims :p
