Do you have AMD dualcore by any chance? If so you might need DualCore optimizer from their site or manually appoint only one core to the game in task manager.
Yes, this is my processor: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103228
I didn't have any problems with TS2 and I thought TS3 was supposed to work well with dual cores?

Let's talk about rig set up for a moment: if a computer runs TS2 with all Expansions, can it run TS3? If not, is the game worth a new video card? How graphically intense is the game? Does it run pretty smooth or is it the type of game that kinda stretches and groans upon loading?
In short, is it superior to TS2 or just TS2 with a boob and paint job?

To be honest i think it might actually be less graphical intensive than TS2. All textures, objects and details seem to be on a low quality load in unless your looking at them. If you go a good distance from wherever your looking it'll take several moments to load everything in. It'll have no model then it'll become a model with no texture then it'll load the texture. It's all done relatively fast but the point is unless you can see it, it probably won't be taking up system resources.
Still need to test it with a super large house though. That was the thing that really dragged down performance in TS2. I'm not sure if it does this load what you see with your house when your at it or if it loads everything to do with your house.

I'm having a *really* weird problem with getting the blasted thing installed. I'm running Vista, and even in the Administrator account, the setup.exe file from the .iso gives me a "destination folder access required" error. I can't copy it, paste it, run it, open it... nothing. I can't even put it in a zip file. I've tried everything I can think of to give myself permission to mess with the blasted thing, but nothing works.
EDIT: Never mind, found a fixed installer.

Check your "Sims3Setup.exe" with WinRAR. If you can open it in WinRAR and find another one in there, along with a "codec.exe", you has it. That's the real one. Copy your CD contents, replace the wrapped version with the inside version.

How do you do the bolded part? Do you burn it again or something?
