Performance profile

September 2012 release. The Sims 3: Supernatural targets mid-2000s-to-early-2010s hardware — any modern entry-level GPU (GTX 1650 tier or newer integrated graphics) handles it at 1080p Ultra without breaking a sweat.

Simulation titles like The Sims 3: Supernatural are heavily CPU-dependent — physics, AI and world state dominate the frame budget. Prioritise a CPU with strong single-thread performance and fast RAM over raw GPU power.

Extremely light — The Sims 3: Supernatural runs at 60 FPS 1080p on any integrated GPU (Intel Iris Xe, AMD Radeon Graphics) or a decade-old discrete card like the GTX 1050. A current-gen RTX 4060 pushes 4K Ultra without effort.

Storyline

Each supernatural Sim has strange new traits and abilities that add humor and challenges to their lives and the world around them. Use your wand to cast spells or collect ingredients and mix dozens of elixirs that enhance gameplay. You can turn Sims into zombies or give your Sim the golden touch. Explore the all-new town of Moonlight Falls, where your Sims’ special powers are heightened by the lunar cycle - and surprises lurk around every corner. Create witches, wizards, werewolves, more intriguing vampires and fairies - each with their own magical abilities, traits and interactions. Discover what mysteries and abilities are revealed by the light of the full moon. Will your Sims freak out or become more powerful? Learn to cast spells and find rare ingredients to brew elixirs, so you can charm or hex your Sims’ lives. Your Sims can hone their psychic abilities and build a career as mystic fortune teller. Mix a special elixir to create shuffling, brain-hungry monsters of your very own. Chomp on other Sims to spread the love and wreak havoc. Don’t fret; you can always concoct an elixir to change your Sims back. Race around the arena on your broomstick, visit the gypsy caravan or preen in front of your magic mirror. Even awaken the classic character of Bonehilda, the quirky skeletal maid. With tons of new enchanted objects, what will happen next? Add a secret lair with the sliding bookcase door and fill your home with creepy new furniture.
