Linux, Steam and Sims 3

KittyTheSnowCat , Been researching a lot today. Most every program I use has a Linux version. Do you use S3PE or SimGameSelector and if so, do they work okay on Kubuntu? Can't find anything about that. Also wondering about Dashboard, Custard and the extractor from Delphy. I'm seriously considering ...

Linux, Steam and Sims 3

KittyTheSnowCat, I was actually having fun learning about Linux and playing with it, until I blew up my laptop and got scared of it. But the next day that I have completely free I’ll try it again. Thanks so much for all your help and advice.

Linux, Steam and Sims 3

KittyTheSnowCat , I was advised by IT people who said Linux is unstable and I needed to have tech skills to keep it going. So here’s my experience. I found a tutorial on installing Ubuntu and put it on a flash drive to try it out. After playing with it for awhile it looked pretty simple so I went f...

Linux, Steam and Sims 3

KittyTheSnowCat, Well the fridge is definitely got the weird color bands but the wall looks much better.

I'm giving up on the Linux idea. Everyone has advised me not to do it cause I have no clue what I'm doing and will be facing constant frustration. So there. :(

Linux, Steam and Sims 3

KittyTheSnowCat , That's awesome! Thank you. Could you post some pictures from your game? I'd like to see what the graphics look like and if playing on Linux gets rid of the recent graphics issues a Windows update caused. Here's a link to a thread on the forums with pictures in the second post of w...

Linux, Steam and Sims 3

Is anyone here using Steam's way of playing Sims 3 on Linux? If so, how does it work for you?

Will this desktop play S3 ok?

C-Dark , I've been playing for 6 years and love the game so much. I've always played on high settings but have had issues with the high FPS burning up a couple of laptops before I realized what was going wrong. I got a great desktop and have had a few good years of beautiful graphics until the late...

Will this desktop play S3 ok?

@C-Dark Thank you for answering. You must be getting tired of me! The only PC game my husband plays is chess. The only PC game I play is Sims 3. Would this PC play Sims 3 well? I don’t care about modern games. I was thinking because it’s marketed as a gaming computer and because the game I want to p...
