THE HORROR: The REAL TS3 Scoop As It Unfolds
EdenNintyNine:
Interesting fact/bug:
At skill level 10 mech. you can upgrade your fire place to have different colour fires. If you do this (options are red- default- blue and green) and then change the upgrade back to something else, the fire will remain the colour your changed it to. :3

Hi, I'm a long time lurker, here to annoy you ...
I noticed at least one person mention that they were playing Sims 3 on a laptop - so, for those of you who've been using one, I'm curious - is it a super spectacular gaming laptop, or just a really good regular laptop?
Also, thanks to everyone who's taken the time to post pictures. They rock.
Standard MacBook Unibody(2.0 core duo, 2gb ddr3, nvidia 9400M).
Good to know, I just bought one of these. :D

It depends largely on your graphics card and RAM. If your graphics card is listed as being supported under the system requirements for the game, that's an indication that it should work for you (although, knowing EAxis, it's not a guarantee). The definition of a "really good regular laptop" varies a lot by person.

My card is unsupported and it warned me and set the graphics to default. Yet everything is running fine for me.

Ditto. Or at least, when I started the game for the first time it told me that it didn't recognize it, which is strange since it's a generic nvidia card that worked fine with TS2. It gets slightly slower if I'm following my sim while she's jogging and have moved the camera down to street level so I can watch the scenery go by, but that's it. Also, I am playing on a laptop with the game installed on an external USB harddrive.
Someone a few pages back mentioned not finding out triats fast enough - there's a reward perk called "Observant" that only costs 5000 points which basically makes it so that you find out about three traits just from introducing yourself.

I have a Dell XPS M1530.
Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T6400
3 GB memory
NVIDIA® GeForce® 8400
Vista
It runs the game at high graphics settings very nicely, although the fan does seem to have its work cut out ;)
