Technical problems with THE HORROR: downloading, installing, and running it

[timelycorruption]

I've got 3 GB of RAM. Saving torrent!TS3 requires 5.59 GB of RAM. Does it take 5 GB to run TS3? Would I need to get more RAM? If I wait until it's in stores, will I be able to play it?
I'm very confused, because there seem to be conflicting ideas about this; some people are playing it with 1 GB, yet it requires 5 GB to download. This is a paradox. I can has confusion. Feel free to poke me with sharp objects and cackle.

HUR.

RAM =/= hard drive space.

I have no rebuttal to defend my ignorance.

I need help, the new daemon tools installs spyware/whatever, right? Can someone link me to an older version. Im racking my brain trying to get the game to install again and there's nothing that I've used before. If not daemon tools and something else please make sure its spyware free and doesnt install anything extra. I plan to remove the program once installation is complete .
Thankss

MagicISO seems to be clean, and it's worked for me on both XP and win7.

I used this one because I was afraid of the daemon: http://www.magiciso.com/tutorials/miso-magicdisc-overview.htm

It was so easy. I just right click the icon on my desktop> create Virtual CD/DVD Rom> Mount> and then locate and select the file that had ISO at the end.

Thanks you guys MagicISO it is

You heard how the pirated version was beta? Yeah, it was. Pre-release, to be exact.

The group razor released a more current version of Sims 3. This one I believe is the final version that was sent to stores and was the same version that went gold. Maybe.

Did you get a hold of the Razor release yet? I'm wondering if there were any actually large changes, considering the .nfo says:

"Reloaded release is not final. If you compare the file located in:
x:\Game\Bin\code_version.txt you will get these informations

Razor1911: description=Version: 0.DL-0.0.11195 Changelist: 625803
Reloaded: description=Version: 0.DL-0.0.11190 Changelist: 624575

If you compare the versions of TS3.exe you will get these infos:
Razor1911: 0.0.0.11195 (April 30. 2009 04:55:28)
Reloaded: 0.0.0.11190 (April 23. 2009 07:53:19)"

I'm grabbing it to check it out right now, but it would be nice if anyone who already got a hold of it could confirm if there are actually any decent sized changes.

Only problem is, it apparently has a trojan...I'd stay away from it, they didn't even use the right cover.

[TashaYarrr]

I'm theoretically going to be installing the razer1911 release in a few minutes. Can anyone tell me where and what files I need to backup to save my current neighborhood? (Not sure this is wise but figure I'll try it anyway)

If anyone has the Razor one, please give game version. The final apparently is 1.0.631.00107. It appears to be gone from NewTorrent.

stupid, stupid question, but where do you look to see which version it is? Does it tell you in a file or do you need to install it and find it in game somewhere?

[morriganrant]

Morriganrant, what version drivers are you currently using?

8.512.0.0.
For those who may find this useful, I discovered that Adaptive Anti-aliasing wasn't exactly the problem. If the Edge Detect option was not used with Anti-aliasing then the hair issue showed up.

[Anarius]

I honestly don't care what the townies do. I care what my made sims do. Without the ability to either toggle it off for the whole 'hood, or toggle it off for certain families (which, at one point, is what it was rumored we would have), this feature completely restricts us from playing more than one household effectively.

I've just about got it done, ill check in about 20 mins or so.

Having major issues with Razor release. Trying to install freezes my system. First, after mounting a popup comes up with garble and system specs. Then some Digital Labs installs. Then I get a firewall alert about a temp file trying to get Internet access. Whether I allow or disallow, system freezes.

I've scanned everything for viruses and I'm coming up clean.

Supposedly the new crack is included in the torrent

[Exiled]

Wanted to update my situation.  I ran Autochk.  Don't know what the results were, but trying to torrent TS3 Reloaded resulted in the same crash.  My mom suggested downloading it to my external hard drive, so I did, and now I'm playing TS3.

I also torrented SpinRite and I'm wondering if that will do anything to help.

[Tacuitacitum]

Is anyone finding better performance on the Razor/patched release?

Specifically I'd like to know about GPU loads and temps compared to the Reloaded release, but any info on performance in general would be handy for those of us wondering if it's worth getting the Razor release just yet.

V: sorry, wasnt sure if it was technical support over there or more gameplay oriented stuff. I'll have a mosey on over.

There is another thread for that information.

[Deadclown]

I stated this in the REL VS. RZR thread. But on my system the RZR version just refuses to run. the screen flashes and TS3.EXE is running in the applications but that's about it. I downloaded and used the crackfix I even ran the "update" and nothing. The reloaded version works fine or as fine as it can before my PC overheats and shuts down

[jrcaporal]

where is the update, heven't seen it, I've clik some links in these threads but it says a 404 error :/

No, I read among the posts, there was an UPDATE that was working with both RELOADED and RAZOR files :s

They mean the patch. I'm also having trouble finding it too actually. The two links in this thread go to 404 pages. Google is giving me nothing but dead ends and irrelevant results.
