When you mounted the game did you take the exe and launcher from the crack folder? If not then you will need to and then place them in (computer/(HardDriveName usually c)/Program Files/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/installdir\Game\Bin)
^ Think thats right, if not. Then keep close to the directions and find the similar folders. Rename the old launcher and exe, or delete it. then paste the two new ones in. DO NOT start the game with the launcher do it with the exe but not the launcher.

^Try deleting the cache file in the documents in your computer for TS3. That should help next time you start up your game. Dang, this game is really buggy. Let's hope alot of the bugs are fixed by the final release. Oh, by the way. The reviewers copy is the same version as this one I heard it from a dude doing a live broadcast at justintv.

Damn, TS3 must really hate ATI's 3800 series. But I did however do alittle bit of research, the Nvidia GeForce 9600GT and the highest in the 38xx series(3870) are both comparable. ATI beat it in almost all cases, except where anti aliasing comes into play. Which absolutely made the highest card tank, while Nvidia still poofed up some pretty good numbers. This leads me to the conclusion that ATI just skipped out on optimizing for AA on these cards. Also, the OpenGL thing could be an issue...Maybe try turning down the smoothness all the way. Those temps are no good for a compy, and could completely fry your video card .

I love that, sims can randomly kiss strangers? thats freakin' awesome duude.
I would have so much fun with that!

Anyone know how to bring a grave and get it to be a ghost? Hmmm. Is this not an option anymore?

in TS2 you could grow up a day before their birthday. The hottubs and pianos missing bothers me sooo much. Grrr. But the game looks good.

One problem, I've used Daemon before but always uninstall it. When trying to install it, it tries to install this weird security software...Is it supposed to do that?

In EA's pictures and video it has water bleed through, so they know about it, they're just wicked lazy.

Well the site is still open http://llnw.thesims3.com/myPage/Rockermonkey999
Tehe My profile from when it was still fully opened.
But I don't remember that post, I do remember the store though ;]

Speed 4 is used at the same speed as 3, but instead of you being in control of when it stops, it stops when the action for the sim selected is done Its the default for going to sleep or work, I've heard.

I think the only way to find out is by trying to run it on your mac I'm still kinda shaky on whether or not what I downloaded is good, I mean it looks legitimate it has the right .rar names and everything the only thing is it took me only an hour to download. Is it just that my compy is really good, and a lot of seeders? I mean it is the right size but could there be a virus? I wonder if anyone else downloaded it..hmm.
But I just did a search and it ended up saying win/mac sims 3 leaked. So Im going to guess its for both versions. It may be inacurate but it seems it may be compatible. Good luck!

Its size is: 4.94 GB (5,298,994,158 bytes)

And it 45 minutes so alittle bit over. at like 1.5mb/sec on average. On bittorent btw. I wonder if that is one of the ones with that virus that may or may not exist. Where did you all download?

With the link I posted I'm already at 99.1% and it's been a half hour. Is that strange? there are 40 seeders and 10 peers. It has pretty normally named rars. But I was wondering is this one of the ones that had the supposed virus if that one even existed?

None of those seem like a game file...is the zip file like this: rld-sim3.r(##)? If so it's probably real that I'd know of...

Is this download okay? http://torrentseed.org/details.php?id=6629

I'll remove the link once I get a response.

By the way guys, not a n00b Ive been here before but just registered again since I lost my old screenname. So where am I supposed to download this? I know of a download, but Im worried of viruses and want to try it out and help ya'll alittle. Linkage would be great in a message or something.
