Technical problems with THE HORROR: downloading, installing, and running it
cassblonde:
I have a few questions for those that have the game:
I plan on upgrading my computer this week. My system currently has: 2 processors running - Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6320 @ 1.86GHz, 2.0 GB RAM, Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition (Build Service Pack 32600), NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT (GeForce 8600 GT) with 256 MB of video RAM, and 183.8 GB free on my hard drive. I'm adding a GB of RAM to bring me up to 3 GB of RAM and max out my useful RAM under XP but what I am really looking for is video card recommendations since I've heard it's not just video RAM I should be looking at.
Does any modder have a guess as to when a blur remover will be available? At this point I can see that will be my biggest annoyance.
My last question involves game play: While the active Sim family is busy with other things(at work, asleep, working through a bunch of things you've told them to do) can you take the camera and go wander around the Hood? If you do is there stuff going on or does stuff only happen on comm lots when your active Sim is there? I like the idea of being able to spy on, take pictures of and make up stuff about what the other Sims are doing while my playable Sim is otherwise occupied(and boring).

you will probably woun't have any problem running the game on high settings it that's what you mean... See no reason to upgrade your computer at all, esp. not when you're running XP.

Tasha, try torrent from isohunt. It gathers almost all big trackers together and gave me a nice speed. And I don't get nice speed often.
I really love your avatar, it's very qute ^__^ !

i downloaded from ISOHUNT in about 5 hours on DSL... had about 900-1000 peers, and about 100 seeds
there were about 10000 peers at that time.
EDIT:
anybody else notice the distinct lack of the creator camp stuff shown in the vids on thesims3.ea.com ... thought those houses and fams were supposed to be included... maybe they're like riverview, dl after authentication...

There is supposed to be a second hood available to registered owners from the exchange. Is there anyway to see what build number is on the torrent release?
yeah, just open the disk after burning or mounting and open the skuversion.txt in the root directory, mine says
