The Sims 3 PC port: quick answers
- Do I need to own The Sims 3?
- Yes. OpenTS3-DS needs game files from a copy you own. PlayPorted links only to the project page and never to game files.
- Is the Sims 3 PC port finished?
- Not yet. It is still in progress. Its last update was Oct 2026.
- Which systems does it run on?
- Not confirmed yet. Check the project page for the systems it supports.
- Is it an emulator?
- No. OpenTS3-DS rebuilds the game's source code, so it runs as a native program instead of through an emulator.
