Still more complaints about the Sims 3.

The reviews are still coming in on Amazon for the Sims 3, and people are still complaining that their computers are crashing or simply unable to play the game.

My daughter's computer is more than powerful enough, but she never got more than 10 minutes into the game without a hard crash (BSOD crash).

I can almost guarantee that this is yet another case of people saying that their computer met the specs, but in reality they did not, they probably read through the list of minimum requirements and said to themselves that they met them, but they never actually ran 1 of the tests that are out there for it, and they also did not have enough computer memory to have the game installed, never mind actually run and play it.

I knew before running the tests that my computer could handle it, but I ran both tests anyway and I updated my drivers even though I didn't really need to just because I knew that the graphics on this were going to be amazing, and they are.
Sebastian and I have even downloaded a few items including a really huge house that another Simmer designed, it's incredible, and I placed it up on the side of the mountain near the waterfall.
The house has a ton of windows all around, so my Sim can watch the sun rise and set and it is so so beautiful, not only that, but I had her go fishing at the base of the waterfall, and wow, what an incredible experience that was to just watch.
The graphics in this game are simply amazing, the waterfall is gorgeous, the water reflects the sunlight and the Sim, and the fish actually leap in and out of the water, and when your Sim is trying to catch the fish and they struggle, the water splashes about, it's just so good looking!
We haven't had a single issue with the game, no crashes, no glitches, no nothing.
The complaints these people are posting about are because they did not meet the minimum requirements, I can guarantee it.

I agree with you. I haven't had any problems running the game at all. My son can run it on his laptop, but it lags a little. My graphics card is REALLY good! Have you collected any of the rubies or stones you can find just lying around town? You can sell them after you have them polished! What a fun game!! These whiners have had PLENTY of time to do the upgrades they need to do. Too bad for them! I personally CANNOT wait for the expansion packs to come out.

I have not heard of any problems from any of my friends. I agree with you - most likely the complainers didn't properly evaluate their systems beforehand.
