Will my Sims 3 work on my Windows 8 laptop?
i think the problem is you need to update the sims 3 game had the same problem antiviruses have nothing to do with the game or its operation unless you download the game illegally which you said you got it off origin so that is irrelevant the biggest thing you need to run the game is a compatible graphics card and a good 8 gigs of ram i have a nvidia gforce 320m graphics card and 4 gigs of ram the base games works great just on its own but i have all the stuff,expansion and custom content installed so my laptop struggles on high graphics setting i think what might be going on is you need to install the game and then download the updates for it if you just have the base game you only need to update for that you dont need to update for anything else you may also need some extra drivers like directx 9 or higher which should be on the computer already but id check that as well if you find the laptop freezes when trying to open the game you can download the game updates by looking for a super patch multiregion update just go to google and do a bit of searching its not hard to find i usually get the updates from softonic i think its called oh and make sure your graphics card gets updates to i know it can be frustrating for all the sims good points it certainly can be annoying with its countless bugs and glitches so you kinda have to do some research to understand how to fix bypass any problems but the net is good for all that
How good is this Laptop? Will it be able to play the sims and Oblivion?
No good. To run all the modern games today you need intel i5 > 2.5 GHZ boost up to 3.0+ GHZ (Or AMD equivalent), and a graphic card > Nvidia 9600M-GT or AMD Radeon HD 6470M and above. The 1 GIG or 2 GIG GT640M appears to be a decent mobile video card. Oh and 6 GIG 1333MHZ/1600MHZ DDR3 RAM, although you can add this your self. http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Graphics-Cards-Benchmark-List.844.0.html UK http://www.acer.co.uk/ac/en/GB/content/model/LX.RB902.182 http://www.acer.co.uk/ac/en/GB/content/model/LX.RG502.013 US http://www.shopping.hp.com/en_US/home-office/-/products/Laptops/HP-ENVY/B5Y73AV?HP-ENVY-dv6z-7200-Notebook-PC http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/model/LX.RMU02.095 http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/model/LX.RVH02.064 Also look at Asus and Sony.

Which laptop is best for playing the Sims 3 and all its expansion packs?
I am looking for a new laptop which can play and handle all the Sims 3 expansions and the game overall. My current computer can no longer handle it, which is an HP TouchSmart 520 with Intel HD Family graphics. I am not the richest person in the world but I have seen a couple I like the look of. Can anyone help pick one out preferably from the site I am going to post links of, which are the laptops I am looking at. http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/laptops-netbooks/laptops/laptops/hp-pavilion-g6-2240sa-15-6-laptop-red-17056534-pdt.html http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/computing/laptops/laptops/lenovo-g505s-15-6-laptop-21707558-pdt.html http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/computing/laptops/laptops/toshiba-c50d-a-13g-15-6-laptop-21731465-pdt.html http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/computing/laptops/laptops/hp-pavilion-15-e072sa-15-6-laptop-21449713-pdt.html Thanks :)
What's a good laptop to run sims 3/4?
I know I need a new laptop. I was looking at the specifications for sims 3 and am just trying to get something that will work for it since sims 4 specifications aren't out yet. However I plan to assume sims 4 won't be too far from the tree as far as requirements go. Sims 3 requirements http://www.thesims3.com/game/systemreq Laptop I'm considering http://www.walmart.com/ip/Toshiba-Black-15.6-Satellite-Touch-C55T-A5123-Laptop-PC-with-Intel-Celeron-N2820-Processor-4GB-Memory-Touchscreen-Display-500GB-Hard-Drive-and-Win/34174284 I am looking for something like this, however, how do I know if it has pixel shader 2.0. That's the big thing and I think only thing I can't find. If you have any other options, I'm really looking forward to running sims 4. I don't know that sims 4 will require Pixel Shader 2.0 but sims 3 does and I'm really just going by sims 3 requirements. Thanks so much, J

Can't play the Sims due to Origin error?
I just bought the sims 3 with two other expansions games and tried installing it on my new laptop (windows 8, Toshiba) and it says "An unknown error has occurred please restart Origin and try again." I'm really getting ticked off, I went to all the help forums I could find and un-installed it manually, re-installed it, updated it, ran compatibility trouble shoots and nothing worked. I had it set to Windows Service pack 3 and clicked on Run as administrator and again, didn't work. I've been dying to play the sims for a long time and this is really bumming me out. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?
