I should feel bad for a billiondollar company missing out on $40 lol .

If you know how to work them properly you get no issues

@Liam Anything for you~

[quote=civfanatics]I just checked. The Sims 3 base game is about 6.5 gb. You should probably have 1 gb extra for saved games. Late Night is about 2.4 gb. Best expansion pack in my opinion.

@Liam You can try out this step-by-step guide for burning your sims to death

1. Put your sim in a 2x3 or other really small room
2. Place a refrigerator, counter, and stove in the room with the sim
3. Have the sim prepare a meal which requires the stove
4. While the sim is cooking the meal on the stove, cancel the prepare meal interaction with the food still on the stove/in the oven
5. Wait 30 sim minutes to one sim hour
6. Your stove should catch fire
7. Your sim should catch fire eventually

Have fun~! [/quote]

Burning people isn't the only way! There are infinite possibilities

Alright thx for the replies, how are the expansions? I'm thinking of just getting late night.

Like 6 gigs just to virtually have sex with people and burn people in rooms. Totally worth it.

I had all of them up to University, including the stuff packs and it was around 50ish gigs. The regular game shouldn't be more than 6.7ish gigs.

[quote=skylinebossz]well i have it alrdy from the ea games site, and a frd gifted it to me on steam. how big are the expansions usually? like 1 gig?[/quote]
expansions packs can be around 8 gigs (like seasons and pets)
Accessory packs are usually less than 1 gig

I got it [i]for free[/i]. It took a long time. I really don't remember how long though. Maybe it was an hour more or less.

when i downloaded it ''legally'' cough* the .ISO was about 5-6 gigs big
8 GB should be enough for the version without expansion packs
