I cannot stand this Glitchy game! Empty I cannot stand this Glitchy game!

Post by J.T. Tue 02 Apr 2013, 18:05

few months ago, I only downloaded base game and a few EPs (not all at that moment) and the game works perfectly fine, only with a lot of lags! This time I posted at least 2 posts on this forum and none of them got answered. Really? No one can figure out what is wrong with my game even though I redownloaded and reinstalled the Sims 3 WITHOUT mods and CC for so many times! Missing text bubbles (the blue boxes i mean), and the pets problem ( my cats and dogs ran around for only once and then stopped,even if they are hyper! This is the same for my sims chasing with the pets: it only shows how the cat (or dog) interact with my sims with chasing (I mean the first part of the chasing animation)), and ambitions investigator problem not solved ( the opportunites of studying textbooks AWKWARDLY become the cases for investigators! (AWW)), my sim slow response to my commands (like when I initate a command, he/she will be stuck for at least 10 sim-minutes before he/she can do what i command. Imagine how hard and slow this is to befriending with other sims), textures of the lots loading slowly, and stuck at the doors (not neccessarily doors it can be the boundary of the rooms in the lots, can be door frames without doors, or pillars-made exits without doors) for 10 sim-minutes (again) while walking to their destinations, cannot go to lecture (my sims will automatically cancel the action),etc..
REALLY FRUSTRATED and I started thinking maybe it is not a legit version so I encounter so many glitches (or bugs)! If no one can help, I am gonna quit the Sims 3 game! Hopefully someone can help! I don't want to mess up with the complaints but I do have to because no one is helping at all!

Admin edit: Moved; you're actually asking for help.

Probably because none of us know what else to do to help you. You've reinstalled, made sure there were no mods/cc, and done basically everything else. The game itself is FULL of glitches, and screwed up things, and there's nothing we can do to fix the actual game. All we can do is troubleshoot, and help where we can. If you want the actual game fixed, you'll have to take it up with EA.

The torrents that Admin gets uploaded are exactly the same as the retail versions, just without some of the nonsense files that get thrown in there by EA to take up disk space. So it's not screwing up because the games you downloaded aren't legit, or are bad, it's because the game itself is messed up.

The best I can suggest is to uninstall any expansions that are giving you issues, and just play with the other ones. So from what you've said, Pets and either University or Ambitions are gone, and just go from there. Or, you can go to nraas.wikispaces.com, and go through Twallan's mods. Overwatch, Errortrap, and possibly Master Controller may all be good to have in your game, since they usually catch errors that EA's game engine just lets slip on by, like the studying textbooks for a case.

@ cat2006house..
if I might make an educated guess: what many people also understimate is that certain combinations of hardware & software are more "prone" to problems of all sorts. So let's say your computer seems powerful enough (lots of RAM, GHz etc.) to handle newer games. But there might be problems nevertheless: for instance, your graphics card is perhaps is not supported and/or there are issues with its driver or a particular update. Even a particular brand or type of processor could contribute to the problems..
However, I can't help you too much with that - so if you want more specific information you'd either have to ask someone more gifted than me in computing or try googling. For example, there is a "technical" section in EA's official Sims3-forum, which you might want to look into.

And yes, I agree with you that the game still has lots of bugs. Although my game is running relatively smooth I still experience lags and even occasional crashes, but all in all it's playable...

I don't see the problem, that's how TS3 always ran for me, even when I was playing the legal version.

The Sims 3 was half developed by Black Box, also responsible for the downfall of Need For Speed. It's not a PC or torrent problem, The Sims 3 is just a poorly developed game that's all.
