Technical problems with THE HORROR: downloading, installing, and running it
jriggs:
I am not running the Sims 3 (I will wait and see if it is even worth installing.) I am also running an 8600 gt and never had a problem running Sims 2 but couldn't run Viva Pinata (my sons favorite) without using the Dual Core Optimizer. Simply a crash upon loading. After running the optimizer, no problem. It is the only game I have had an issue with and from their forums I have found that it was an issue with that game. I only bring it up now in case it helps someone else in this situation.
TashaYarrr:
So two people with ATI 38XX series cards having crashing to desktop? Any NVIDIA takers? (Yes, I'm jumping to massive conclusions here, but still interested.) I've done about four hours on XP/NVIDIA with nothing untoward happening. Except my Sims are all pretty fug, but apparently there's no technical fix for that.
SciBirg:
So very glad I insisted on Nvidia when I got my laptop, as well as 4GB of RAM.

TashaYarrr:
Ergh. That thing where it warns you to restart after making certain gfx setting changes? Looks like ignoring that is a bad idea. Sigh.
SimKat:
Yeah was also having random crashes for no apparent reason.Updated my card drivers seem too fix this.
