The Sims 3 system requirements

Before buying The Sims 3 for PC don’t forget to compare system requirements, provided by game developers, with your system configuration. Usually, minimum system requirements mean the configuration, that will allow game to start and normally work on the minimum quality settings. If your PC reaches the recommended requirements, you can have a stable gameplay with high quality settings. If you like to play on ultra settings, you must have hardware better, then specified by developers in recommended system requirements.
