As of today, I have officially become a supporter of and contributor to Electronic Arts.
After much texting to my youngest sister in Dubai, she finally messaged me and said my mom bought me an original copy of The Sims 3. Even after I told her that I had bought a dubious copy already to test my system with. But since they've already got it for me, I guess I can now sign up at the website and download stuff. Yay! A perk!
As for my system, it works on my pc. However, I had an error message while installing it. One of the date files won't install so it crapped up my game. The game loads fast, plays well EXCEPT that I can't see the colours to some objects and my Sims are all either black and hite only. So I presume that's part of the data that went haywire.
However, just to be safe (and to stick to my tradition) I'm going to get a new graphics card tomorrow and then install the game on Tuesday when my parents get back from Dubai.
And then we'll see.
And, as a testament to her parents' obsession with games, Athena loves the Sims and keeps chuckling at the characters in the opening sequence.

How much did the original cost in Dubai? Are you getting the basic one or collector's edition?
Since you're getting the original, be sure to go to the Simstore and download the free town.
And it sounds like your current graphics card needs new drivers...
It costs about 215 and I think our currency is one to one with Dubai's. I'm not sure whether they got me the basic or collector's edition. I think I'll try to update the driver today. Thanks Mac!
