GamesRadar have posted their review of The Sims 3 Seasons, read it below!
Since The Sims 3 launched in 2009, Sims have vacationed in exotic lands, discovered new careers, mingled with celebrities and the supernatural, and maybe even adopted a pet or two. But. But! They’ve done it all to the backdrop of static weather. Each day had blue skies, green grass, and even temperatures. This all changes with The Sims 3: Seasons, the eighth expansion for the base game. Adding seasonal touches and weather effects brings The Sims 3 to life in a way that was sorely missing before, though the rain and snow can’t cover up this series’ existing bugs.
Seasons doesn’t come with a new world for Sims to inhabit, making it the second expansion after Generations to do so. However, you can buy a new town right from the menu if you’re not satisfied with the ones you already have. In-game prompts to purchase more content from The Sims 3 online store have gotten more intrusive with every expansion, and now you don’t even have to be in the game before you’re asked to buy more; it’s right on the loading screen. The ease in which players can add content to their games without having to leave it is convenient, but it’s also a little frustrating to be asked to spend more money after purchasing yet another expansion that costs almost as much as the game itself.
Hmm.. I have never had such a horrid time with a Sims expansion. Everything was fine and dandy until seasons. Now the game its utterly unplayable, CRASH CRASH CRASH – with or without CC & Mods. Its a mess. I am thoroughly disappointed and very upset at the loss of a beloved game 🙁 I am at my wits end with it…
Same thing here. My game didn’t have to many problems. Now it keeps randomly stalling and crashing to desktop. The worst thing is that this was the expansion I was waiting for since the sims3 came out. I am very disappointed. Is it to much to ask to have our games play tested and debugged before they sell them? At least to the point where it doesn’t crash on people.
No troubles here, although a friend of mine constantly gets a crash or even a reboot of the computer when placing one of the new lots.
I feel guilty having an experience where it has been running smoothly. Have you guys tried clearing your game cache and starting fresh? That sometimes helps.
Try rename your ‘The Sims 3’ folder to ‘The Sims 3 old’ and run the game and see how it goes.l
