We’ve all experienced crashing when it comes to our Sims 3 games. Whether its from gameplay or after installing a new patch – the game has its fair share of issues (well, okay – more than a fair share to be honest). The team behind The Sims Medieval is trying to make up for the mistakes that came from The Sims 3 – by testing the game before shipping it out to retail stores with a huge number of hardware configurations. So, hopefully this does not mean we will be the guinea pigs for their game much like we had to deal with on the Sims 3 games.
Of course, does this mean we won’t experience any problems? No, but at least its good to hear about issue that did needed to be brought up!
Bernstein explained they get feedback from registered users, including information about what hardware they have. “What’s supposed to happen is we get to test it enough with enough different types of hardware to find errors that would be causing it to crash on your machine,” she said. “When you just hear that someone’s computer crashed, you don’t necessarily know how to fix it.”
However, Bernstein did say that the Medieval team was working closely with the Sims 3 team to resolve the problem. “We do talk a lot to the Sims 3 (executive producers) and what they’re learning from people. They put out updates to their game to fix a lot of issues. And our technical director was their technical director, so we’re constantly getting improvements, and we’re making our own.”
“Does that guarantee it’ll run on your machine? No, but I certainly hope so,” she added. “It’s really hard on the PC because there are so many variables, but we should be able to make it work on a very wide range.”
Rachel Bernstein, the executive producer of The Sims Medieval also made a note that if the game does well, then perhaps some day we may see it come to consoles – but in general it takes a lot more planning for console games than PC games.

after story mode will it have free mode.
also will it have expansion packs. i want horsemen, archers, wars, nations, cultures, palaces, kingdoms, proms in palace, fable things, dragon, unicorns, angels, fairies, flying witches, mermaids, 18th century clothing, religions, also they can be ateist. for example if they obey their religion they earn points and when they pray for something it comes true for example for richness, smartness to learn quickly, for beauty, for love, for other people goodness, and here also bad powers such as witches they do magic to kill, for lovers to broke etc, here white angels with wings and they can fly. i want more than real life.
It makes sense that it would run more stable. After all, it’s not built to accept custom content, and there aren’t tons of EPs and SPs. Plus, from what I’ve read so far, it won’t have nearly the same amount of features in the game. I mean, isn’t it mostly story-driven, like all the Stories games for Sims 2?
