       My gf likes to play 'The Sims 3' but only number 3.. To be honest, it works like crap with all mods, expansion packs etc etc but that's from my point of view since I don't play it. But I see it crash so often with her...Question!Is there a FOSS alternative for The Sims 3? So it's gotta have an "open world" and mods, etc! #Sims3 #FOSS

       @stux Closest may be THE SETTLERS series. A new one will be released this year …

       @stux Nope. There is some stuff for Sims 1 and nothing else.

       @stux There is Simitone as a engine replacement for Sims 1.But Sims has oddly few competitors in general. The only one I know is the Paralives, which is not released yet.But also, your GF is right. Even with the 300h loading times, it's the best Sims game

       @stux Paralives is currently in development and is aiming to fix a lot of the issues fans had with The Sims series in general

       @stux Does she have the Nraas mods installed for sims 3? These make a huge difference to stability.

       @stux There is no game that has all the things that sims 3 has, unfortunately. & if she says "Sims 3 and Sims 3 only," she wants all the things that Sims 3 has.(sorry this is so long after your post, I just joined & searched the hashtag)But. If she has an uptodate computer, and she has the Nraas mods & a few more from Mod the Sims, she should be able to fix the crashing issue. Both of those places also have help forums where her problems can be addressed.
