The Sims 3 Outdoor Living Stuff system requirements

To be honest, this post is not of any importance – because if you can already run The Sims 3 smoothly, then you shouldn’t have any issues running the Stuff Packs/Expansions. However, seeing as I just got thru updating the System Requirements page, I might as well drop this here:

The Sims 3 Outdoor Living Stuff Requirements

Laptop versions of these chipsets may work, but may run comparatively slower. Standalone cards that are installed in vanilla PCI slots (not PCIe or PCIx or AGP), such as some GeForce FX variants, will perform poorly. Intel integrated chipsets featuring underclocked parts will not perform adequately.

Integrated chipsets such as the ATI Xpress and the NVIDIA TurboCache variants will have low settings selected, but should run satisfactorily.

Please note that attempting to play the game using video hardware that isn’t listed above may result in reduced performance, graphical issues or cause the game to not run at all.

The NVIDIA GeForce FX series is unsupported under Vista.
