i'm still in a toxic relationship with The Sims 3: Island Paradise 

Hi Plumbella!

Sounds cool! I'll be there

You’ve got to play World Adventures and explore the Landgraab Estate in France 🏰

Plumbella is from England? I'd never have guessed that I thought she was Scottish with that accent. Joking obviously, but seriously I'm from the UK (Wales) and I have mates in Scotland and my pals here and in Scotland are also fans of Plumbella and the weather is UK weather not just England weather. I can’t see why we're consistently not included as fans when she keeps saying England and not Britain or UK because England isn’t different at all with the same weather, buildings, businesses, culture. For Americans watching, it’s presented like the UK and Britain is just England. I'm a new fan who originally thought I found a Sims channel that's not American for once but British and represents me as a British and UK citizen who also loves Sims but all I keep consistently hearing is England. Wales for example also has an industrial past ruined by evil Tories with Thatcher and I originally felt a common view with Plumbella but saying England all the time and not Britain or the UK is like a little stab in the heart for a fan who feels left consistently hurt and left out. Other than this which Plumbella does upset me to be honest actually I think the channel is fantastic with AMAZING Sims content and quite frankly her dad is hilarious and has missed a career in stand-up comedy. Sorry for the rant guys and Plumbella if you read this it's just upsetting when you feel left out when basically the UK is the same weather wise, business, culture, housing etc and I hope I don't get bullied for my opinion. Just a hurt fan is all had to get it off my chest cause Plumbella is awesome, but me and other UK fans will be left out. England btw is only 5 mins over the border for me but you’d think it’s like entering a completely different country.

We've literally had a heat wave in coventry, we had one day of rain god bless you. So much love plumbella 💗💗

EA could change me like £100 for that and I'd still buy it

Oh hell yes, but EA would probably charge us half our soul and 2 kidneys for the base game only 😂

i'd sell my kidney for that

Sims 3 used to crash a lot on my old computer I got a £200 (computer) one and it hasn't crashed at all yet, though it obviously has the occasionally glich

That's exactly what the sims 5 should be. Like a remastered sims 3 with some sims 2 features that the sims 3 never had

houseboats are my favourite thing ever omg...i pretty much refused to buy island living for a good year because it's such a pale imitation. anywho yeah the lag is real, but it still doesn't compare to late night (which i also love but OUCH, constant crashes and perpetual vampire death)

Or the water taxi problems omg

Strangely I never had really big problems with the lags...but I also didn’t have seasons and I heard that season causes a lot of lags so idk

HOUSEBOATS??

@Hyperactiv Gamer the problem with the world is routing issues and the way the game is optimized. It was designed for older computers with 32 bit operating systems. So with how computers today have 64 bit, it can't adjust itself properly

😂😂😂😂😂😭

Same

Especially when doing mental math and spelling in your head

The sims 4 in its state right now runs slower

@Freja Lindberg your answer was with a little bit of lag since you are responding now, my computer is a profesional gaming computer and the sims 4 runs like a shit going through the pipes, so yours must be a nasa pc or something like that

slytherin0queen my MacBook Pro from 2015 runs the fuck out of this

dude same!! i have the shittiest and slowest pc ever and it works like magic✨

@@lindabelcher5508 same, my crappy lil macbook air runs the sims 3 and its expansions just fine!

I still am. Like Isla Paradiso still lags for me, but I just take out 2 to 3 families and I can play smoothly. And i GUARANTEE YOU that I don't have ANYTHING close to gaming PC. My PC craps it's pants when I click on Lego Game Icon.

I envie you. I loved Island living but it crashed on me so frequently that I had to take it out of my game

me too! Thank you for the laugh Plumbella!

Make a stupid House boat that apparently is corrupted

@Rowena Scott D E L E T E

One could even say they didn't get away scott free

@@dantelundell9386 s t o p

I would definitely do the same thing 😂 i hum it a lot without thinking

Soundtrack of life ✨🌸💫

first time I got so many likes on a comment what 😳 follow me on instagram @ vogualex if y’all want a new internet friend 🥴

Everyone is guilty of singing this theme song in their life

Is it not the sims 2 sound track ?

I turned off reflections and then I could play the game with no problem

you just have to delete the families living in them, not the houses themselves

Annie Hilton right!

my game once took an hour to load the PREVIEWS of the outfits

still dealing with that now...this makes me dread making new sims whenever i want to do a new playthrough lol 😭

I just save sims so everytime I make a new saved I can just load up a sim and never touch cas ever again

i still have that thing, it takes the game about 20-60 seconds to load properly when i switch to another outfit/catogory (shoes, shirts, etc)

😂

O MAH GOD. UR A LEGEND LMAO.

Epic comment

cause she did not want to cut herself into pieces

I called my city from Cities: Skylines that haha

Same hahahaha

It’s because it’s meant to run on older computers. A newer processor wouldn’t work as well

ayyyyyyy old shit laptops that somehow run Sims 3 without crashing buddies

It’s just isla paridiso that crashes bc the entire ocean is routable

Madison Curry my laptop can still run with island paradise, it’s just really slow and freezes but somehow dosen’t crash

Oop

You mean you dont? Haha

this one

my PC can't handle anything, so far sims 2 and oblivion are the only games that don't crash it.... but i'll be damned if i don't insist on playing beefy games anyway 😂

how tf did I play Sims 3 with all expansions on my shit ass laptop from 2007 without problems back in the day

Yeah mine won't run sims 3 at all, despite having a gaming pc! Then again sims 4 doesn't run well on my setup either for some reason

@@Emil-lf3no for some reason older computers just seem to run it better? Maybe something within the games coding doesn't like the newer technology? I have no ideas lmao

I don’t even know what this means but it has me cackling

@@issy483 That's a character from Harry Potter, father of Luna Lovegood.

What do you play on because I play on a bad laptop and my game doesn’t crash at all or lag it’s actually fine.

I recommend using mods by Nraas in order to make the game run smoother 😊

@@ShanACL maybe he mean the island paradise one

@@ShanACL I actually kinda miss playing Sims 3 on my Windows 8.1... it didn't run Sims 3 as fast as my Windows 10 does now, but I remember having less crashes and actual issues.

Rafly mahendra ahhh that makes sense.

They live in a houseboat. If they would deck the houseboat or move them elsewhere, it would solve it too. Houseboats cause the lag as they're moving in the background.

@@Pavlinka__ late reply but I've heard its also just boats in general bc the routing on water sucks? i got island paradise earlier this year and did notice my game slowed down whenever sims used the water taxis :/ but theres really a lot of stuff people say contributes to the lag in isla paradiso its kinda bonkers

I fukin love butlinss

😂

@@Miles.iscool more of a haven gurl meself 😂😂

@@thomharrington.125 haven is the btec of butlins. And Pontins isnt worth mentioning 😅

I'm from the U.S. and I know what that is!! 😆 I had a co-worker from the U.K who told me about it... 😄👍 Also? English breakfast? 🔥🔥🔥❤️

they got that sweet exploration going on. i think some of us just need the enrichment. (they are also my favourite packs)

I really like Island Paradise but I can't stand the lag every 2 seconds. World Adventures is great though.

I LOVE that pack, saved for months to get it... but....the lag... i could Never play it :'(

I love Island Paradise aswell, I just wish it worked 😔

I love the town and we all know how pretty it is but the lag... THE LAG 😭

Mine just decided to die I’m I’ll spend another long week working on it … I hate that it does that. I love this game.

I’m in London (not the rich areas) and I feel ur pain when it comes to the weather but like for some reason here the weather is bloody indecisive like it will rain every day but be scorching and sunny at like 8pm 🤦🏼‍♀️

England weather is annoying good thing I’m in Wales where the weather is SO SO different despite being 5 mins away from the border. Love living in the U.K.

Kirsty Forshaw The storm was massive here in Wales too. Lots of thunder and lightning. Hate U.K. weather.

I’m Australian and could only dream for that weather😂

@@arna327 we do have that weather, Melbourne is the worst for it. That's why I moved away from there to a completely different state LOL

jesse and steph are literally some of the funniest people on youtube

steph0sims 😡

{ rui } her too but she doesn’t post much😭

@@finnhough4728 and laurenzside 😭🤙

finn plays yes that’s the only thing

I have an Intel i5 core processor. Will it work with my computer?

@@alexiscormier4059 A NASA computer wouldn't run the sims 3 properly

@@deeji6098 It's a joke that they didn't give us a choice either. Most software that even thinks about being 32 bit lets you choose depending on your PC. I get it.. The goblin tradeprince wants potato farmers and coal miners to buy the game too, but dude, c'mon, you can't build a flagship of a game from literal dung and expect it to hold up. Sims 3 was a whole generation of Sims, and it couldn't even carry its own weight. It's still my favorite, but only because I'm used to suffering.

@@deeji6098 A lot of people were still using 32-bit PCs in 2009

@Baptiste L. The game supposedly runs better on older systems than newer ones since it's old and all...

And it refuses to die! I just want to have Sims5 already so we can hopefully move on to something better.

ah yes, sims 3, a complete game with so many features that ... doesn't even run

Rhea Rose haha that is true,

@@rhiannonmoya4846 yeah at least I can actually play the sims 4.

the biggest thing u can do to improve the sims 5 is in fact ur imagination,,,, without that ur game jus dry af

I'm pretty sure I've read somewhere the lag is because of some routing issues in one specific lot, or something like that. Maybe you could look into that?

@@reallypoopy9661 Thanks for the tip but it happens no matter where I am (if that's what you meant by routing issues?) (edit: where I am in the game, obvs not where I am in real life haha) and I remember deleting the Scott family and that didn't work either. However, this was also like 2 years ago since I last tried it so it probably wouldn't hurt to try again. Still a little mindblown that a big company like EA would release something that doesn't work for everyone. I saw someone say somewhere that EA had admitted to knowing it doesn't really work for a lot of people and still doesn't fix it. Like... really?

@@reallypoopy9661 It doesn't look like it because it seems there was lag right from the start. Routing would have been fixed by NRAAS mod but it didn't fix Plumbella's situation. By the way routing problem gets worse as you play more, it isn't visible from the start.

ZNus

If I had overwatch and this pack not installed... The game worked on my 2009 nongaming laptop...

There is a fixed world that you can replace the original with. It has removed things where Sims often gets stuck etc. It worked a lot better for me.

I keep thinking about going back to it, but I always got so frustrated with the whole town locking up every few minutes - and this was everywhere but the smallest worlds. I've also tried getting back into Sims 2, but it has some major compatibility issues with newer computers. It crashes constantly. So, I begrudgingly go back to 4.

That sounds amazing, just the wildlife there terrifies me

@@DarkComatose15 Wildlife?😁 Brazilians don't live in a jungle

Alana Benitez Why do you always think we live in a jungle?

@@DarkComatose15hen do you really think we live in a jungle?

@@jooj7471 I never said anything about it being a jungle 😂 But it’s like Australia where theres so many things that are venemous. I feel like it’s like that in so many warm climates. I live in Wisconsin and due to the cold temperatures here, most things can’t really kill you. No venemous snakes or spiders although we have non-venemous ones. Have no idea where you all got jungle out of that. Everywhere in the world has wildlife.

C Flo my gaming computer is fine with sims 3 but not with Isla paradiso

Old/unsupported games tend to run worse on modern PCs. When was the last time TS3 got a major update? 2013?

Yes!! Sims 3 runs fine but sims 4 crashes every 5 mins no matter what I try. I feel seen.

omg sis! SAMEEEE. I also have an acer and I've always thought the same thing, either it really didn't lag, or my brain just blocked out the lagging. And also, with my acer computer, my sims 4 is the buggiest thing, my sims stay hours and hours doing things or just looking at the walls.

Smoke newer pieces just can't handle the older frameworks and engines. It doesn't help that the game is riddled with bugs and path/mapping issues that the system is constantly trying to fix. People on Mod the Sims actually went through and fixed pretty much all of the world maps since Maxis didn't do jack. Overwatch and master controller mods help to.

ikr!! i used to play it on a crappy laptop as a kid and i was vibing

I didn’t have problems with it either haha

YES! XD

I miss being able to harvest them 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

same!

What did you do to make it work?

@@Jaidee_Gaming i modded my game but unfortunately i don’t have my gaming laptop with me at school so i’ll try my best to remember what i did. i think i have the nrass overwatch and the nrass error trap mods. i think you also have to delete the scott family from the world if you’re playing the island paradise town. not sure why exactly but i’ve heard that works. also! from personal experience, having your family live in a houseboat makes the game lag even more so try to move your sims to a house on land. i also played around with my resolution so like having lower res on reflections, view distance, etc helps with lag too!

HEY HENS CURED MY DEPRESSION AND WATERED MY CROPS

@April Mercer It's awesome that something so simple can greatly improve the day for many people, but do they really need to put the same comment on every single video, multiple times? At first it was kinda nice and relatable, but when you've been seeing the same exact comment daily for weeks, it gets very repetitive and mildly annoying. Personally, I just want to read a couple funny comments and/or get some game tips, not read the same comment over and over.

​@@Alyakismydutchname I dont see where you find all these endless comments on it when all the topcomments I can find are unrelated tho
