The Sims 3. I absolutely love it, but...
I'm not happy with the fact that EA made the game using 32-bit architecture, so no matter what gaming PC/laptop you have... it won't use beyond 4GB of RAM and will throw the hateful Error 12 when saving after a long game session.
I've done all the possible tweaks, even modified the game code (well, I had to do it anyway to add my graphics card, since it's newer and it's not included in the code) and downloaded helpful mods... but it's not working if the base code needs updating for modern Windows computers.
Re-coding The Sims 3 using 64-architecture is pretty much impossible without EA assistance.
The Sims 4 is uglier: I've tried it once and went back to The Sims 3 despite everything.
