Does it allow you to play games such as the sims 3?

We were able to get Sims 2 to play, as well as Minecraft and Spore. With Minecraft, you can play with the settings so it will be able to work on most computers.

This model does allow games, but those like sims 3, minecraft, etc. will not play and there is no way to upgrade the hardware unless you buy a new motherboard

No just the pets add on. You have to pay for the the sims 3 separately. Good luck with the pets download . It took me 2 hours to download , then EA , the makers of the game, blocked my computer from m opening the add on.

I'm not sure. I bought this laptop as a gift for a friend of mine. I don't know if she plays sims on it. She needed it to complete her on-line college. If you have a cd/DVD rom drive and had a video graphics card installed on your laptop, then you should be able to play sims discs. Sorry I couldn't be of more help,

You may want something a little faster. This is really a budget computer. I don't know the hardware requirements for Sims 3. Online course might be OK.

Some, not really the high-powered games like COD and Assassins Creed, but yes, Sims and GMOD works amazing.

Yes, I've used it for both installing software and for playing The Sims 3. It is pretty loud but does the job.

I don't know, but usually a game of this type explains the minimum system requirement for use. If anything it might work better for you than for me.

It appears that it will but I am running a Mac Maybe you can search around on Google... Top result was:Windows 8.1 compatibility for The Sims 3 version 1 http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/compatibility/CompatCenter/ProductDetailsViewer?Type=Software&Name=The+Sims+3&ModelOrVersion=1&Vendor=EA&Locale=1033&LastSearchTerm=&BreadcrumbPath=The+Sims+3&TempOsid=Windows+8.1

not sure because it has the "Showtime" extension included. At least the one I purchased even though it advertised as Sims 3 so....

I do not use a Mac, but, according to geek forums, NO, it doesn't look like any of the Sims 2 PC versions will work on Mac. Asper released ports of this game for Mac circa 2006 as "Sims 2: Pets", But it doesn't appear that they released a combo of all 3 in a Mac version, you may have to get all three installments from this collection separately. As you can see at the top of the Amazon listing it says "Windows XP / Vista / 7". I am still running XP while waiting to accumulate funds to build a new system, so I don't even know if these programs will work on Windows 8 or 8.1, & I haven't messed with Linux, or any other O/Ss currently out there.

Yes it is! This is the original Sims 3 game with no expansions. You then buy expansions for this game.

All Sims 3 is is an expansion. The answer to your question is yes. You can fish in all the Sims 3 games...

I have a windows 8 it works jus fine you can check this site to see if The Sims 3 runs on your computer. http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/ when you reach the site just type The Sims 3 and it will tell you if it can work. Because it really depends on the graphics and other hardware. Good luck
