Just earlier than all of the hubbub in regards to the Sims 4 anniversary updates yesterday, its predecessor received an sudden replace too. The Sims 3 simply received its first patch in years this week and thus far EA’s simply stated nothing about it.
According to an previous archive of Sims 3 patch notes, the final time the sport was up to date was in January 2014. There’s no new entry for this week’s patch to clarify what’s up, although one useful participant within the EA Answers Forum explains that the patch addresses an previous challenge with the sport failing to launch on newer Intel processors. This appears to be a patch solely associated to the EA App model of the sport and does not have a corresponding Steam replace entry by the seems to be of it on SteamDB.
After the replace you might get a brand new popup between hitting play within the launcher and the sport opening which asks you to activate your product. The identical useful simmer suggests clicking “exit” which can mean you can proceed. I entered my EA App credentials and was waved by that means with out challenge.
Surprising nobody, EA’s been mum about it totally, although that by no means stops followers from studying the tea leaves. Part of the brand new seasonal roadmap proven yesterday was the date February 25 with simply an 👀 emoji hinting at some unknown announcement. Some followers are theorizing re-releases for The Sims 1 and a pair of whereas others are actually suspecting there are extra Sims 3 compatibility patches coming.
There’s actually now a precedent for re-releases after the announcement yesterday that it is bringing the up to date MySims Cozy Bundle to PC in March.
In the meantime, hey, perhaps The Sims 3 will run higher in your machine—or run in any respect if it did not beforehand. The greatest challenge I’ve had with returning to Sims 3 has been numerous lag time when I’m making heavy use of the Create-A-Style instrument however I doubt this patch goes to unravel that. If it evokes you to leap again in too, refresh your self on the listing of Sims 3 cheats so you will get your family up and operating the best way you need.
