After 4 years of waiting for The Sims 3 to become fully functional with all released content such as Expansion Packs, Stuff Packs and Store Content which we all paid for and expected to run well, The Sims Team has finally released a statement apologizing for making us wait 4 years to finally play the game without any issues. Here’s what they said:

Sul Sul Simmers!

We’re truly sorry for making you all wait 4 years to play The Sims 3 without encountering “The Sims 3 has stopped working” every 30 minutes. We’ve been so hard at work to deliver you new content for The Sims 4 that we forgot that there are still people who’d want to play The Sims 3 every now and then.

We’re releasing a new update for The Sims 3 today that’ll fix many issues and improve some things, including:

  • We’ve made sure that you no longer can install mods that fix the gameplay of The Sims 3 and do all the work for us. In case your game is broken or you’re experiencing bugs and glitches that prevent you from enjoying the game, report to us and we’ll try to fix it……..in a matter of few years.
  • The Sims 3’s “Expansions & Stuff” section of the launcher will no longer encourage you to only play a few packs instead all of them. Feel free to enable all packs!

(April Fools) The Sims 3: NEW UPDATE! (Bug Fixes + Minor Improvements)

  • Some users reported that they’ve been loading Sims University and Oasis Landing since the release of University Life / Into the Future, hoping that they would eventually load it. This update cuts down the loading time from 10 years to only 5 years. Hang in there Simmers, only 1 year to go!
  • We’ve made some small changes to The Sims 3 Main Menu.

(April Fools) The Sims 3: NEW UPDATE! (Bug Fixes + Minor Improvements)

  • We’ve cut down the “The Sims 3 has stopped working” crashes from every 30 minutes to every 2 hours!
  • Isla Paradiso no longer stutters every 3-4 seconds. We’ve solved this issue by removing all Sims from the world!

The update can be downloaded by opening your The Sims 3 Game Launcher. You can also download it manually HERE!

I admit it is very hard to determine if this is real or fools, The Sims Team really do write funny stuff at their update changelog.
