NOT SO RECOMMENDED: So the Insta-Daughter had pre-ordered The Sims 3 and eagerly awaited its arrival. Installing it was kind of iffy at first, but downloading an updated graphics driver and installing the DirectX version from the disk fixed the constant-crash problem. But the game itself isn’t that good. According to the Insta-Daughter, “If I’d had this first, I’d think The Sims 2 was a great upgrade.” The user reviews seem to be consistent with that, so be warned.
