Will my laptop play Sims 3 or Elder Scrolls IV

I was given this HP as a gift and I'd like to know if my laptop will play Sims 3 or Elder Scrolls IV. If not, what would I need to upgrade it? I won't be doing any online gaming, I just want to be able to play these two games and maybe Assasins Creed if possible. The first two games are a definate.

It might play them on medium/low settings. The only thing you can upgrade is the memory and it already has 3GB of memory so if you the system memory then you would have to reload your laptop with a 64bit version of windows.
This laptop is pretty much a entry level laptop.

Need to Find A Laptop That Lets Me Play Sims 3 With Ease

I will be going off to college soon and I will need something to help me pass time between studying, homework, socializing, and class. My favorite game ever is Sims 3! I love the game since I was in grammar school. The thing is I could never find a laptop that successfully let me play. When I got my first laptop I wanted it to play sims 3 right away, but I didn't do any research. So the game kept lagging and what not. I definitely do not want to make that same mistake again. I will have enough money to buy a laptop that will let me play Sims 3 WITH Sims 3 Generations (I hope to get for christmas). So does anyone have an idea of what laptop that can meet my requirements?

The Sims 3 is not very demanding... so if you run across a laptop with a dedicated video chip you will probably be okay. This is a very generic question as you will get a generic answer. Just find a laptop with a Nvidia chip for video as an example as opposed to "Intel HD Graphics". Get a mid-range or higher rated chip as well. Using the Nvidia 500 series as an example: the 510M would barely be pulling its own weight. 550M Would probably run The Sims 3 more than fine with everything maxed. And 580M+ would be for if you were serious about mobile gaming and wanted higher setting in more demanding games. AMD also has graphics chips with the same concept (They are not bad but I am not going into a lot of detail). Keep in mind these consume more power and will decrease battery life. You can also look into if the laptop can switch inbetween video chips to save on power consumption when you are not playing games.

I want to play an Elder Scrolls game on my iPad. What's the next best thing?

You know, like Morrowind, Oblivion, or Skyrim. A full on rpg. I would settle for something with a similar feel to it, a science fiction setting might even be ok. If I can't play an Elder Scrolls game on my ipad, what's the next best thing?
Thank you.

A fair number of folks ask here for certain types of apps. In you search the app store you will get at least a couple that look like rpg games. But the form factor is not real good. Rage hd would give you a feel for what tou and cannout get on tablet. Pretty good graphics, pretty rough controls.

My iphone will not revert back from silent mode. It will play when i am scrolling through ringtones but when a text or incoming call comes in all it does is vibrate. Anyone having this issue??

My Iphone will not revert back from silent mode. It will play when i am scrolling through ringtones but when a text or incoming call comes in it just vibrates. Anyone having this issue??

I have the same problem with my iPhone 5c after update to iOS 8 every time i have to restart my phone to solve the silent issue

Music I have purchased from Itunes will no longer play on my laptop. When I click on a song to play it, it says the file cannot be found. Does anybody know what to do?

Purchased music from I-tunes will no longer play when I hit play. The message "music file cannot be located" pops up and then takes me to some other file system. Does anybody know what to do? I have already tried to make sure that my Itunes player is default and that is not the problem.
Help!

You get this message because iTunes can’t find the file. This can happen for a number of reasons:
The song file or a folder in its path was renamed
The song file or the folder it is in has been moved
The song file has been deleted
The device containing the song files e.g. external drive is not accessible or the drive letter has changed.
Do any of these aply to you?

The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall in AUR, anyone would like to test?

Recently I found a way to unpack archives used in Daggerfall, so now there is nothing that stops us from having it in AUR. Especially, that Daggerfall is now free, released by Bethesda for 15 years of TES anniversary. The package contains last Daggerfall (2.13 + Comp USA edition quests + fixsave 1.75) - so all official files. You can get it here: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=50316 - please note that I have not tested it on 32 bits, I'm bit worried for the extraction code (it uses bit shifts, it should be OK, but I cannot be 100% certain). It would be cool if someone could report how it works.
The package requires only dosbox to run and python2+bsdiff+unzip for building. Also, please adjust dosbox configuration to your needs, probably post your best working config so I can update the default config to one that works for most people?
The unpk.py script is used to unpack PACKED.DAT into ARCH3D.BSA and DAGGER.SND, and to unpack 109 updated files from patch file DAG213.EXE - it can probably be also used to unpack files from other old DOS games. It is based on public domain code and descriptions (with links to sources in comment near beginning), but modified (for example to support archives other than PACKED.DAT). If you want to use it, have fun with it, but be careful - it is very sketchy and bugs can live inside - I only tested it on 64 bit system and Daggerfall archives.
Soon I will create second package that requires this one, and will add community created stuff like bugfixes, improvements and quests. You will be able to install it anytime and it wil change from time to time as new files are released. It shouldn't break anything, in worst case you will have to start new game to benefit from new stuff.
Below is the information package shows after install, it's good description of the startup wrapper in package
========================================
You must read and accept the Daggerfall terms of use:
/usr/share/licenses/daggerfall/license
You should tweak dosbox settings to match your needs:
/usr/share/games/daggerfall/dagger.conf
To play, make sure you are in games group and use command:
daggerfall
To setup your sound card, use command:
daggerfall --setup
If your game gets corrupted, you can try fixing your saves with:
daggerfall --fixsave
or fixing your maps with:
daggerfall --fixmaps
========================================

One last update for some time. Mods support went quite well and turned out to be easy, so I did it already!
I'd like to describe the mod system a bit - it's extremely easy:
1) you create directory in /usr/share/games/daggerfall/mods/<name> - <name> will be name of your mod in system (to enable, do --enable-mod=<name>). In most cases, that's all!
- all files and directories inside will be copied to /usr/share/game/daggerfall/DAGGER when enabled.
- original version of files will be remembered automatically, just in case you want to disable mod
- new files will be marked as new, so they are also removed from system - same for empty directories
- if two enabled mods modify same file, it's conflict and whole enable process will be stopped, what can you do?
2) if you are sure, that your mod works well and includes other mod, create file /usr/share/games/daggerfall/mods/<name>.extends and place names of mods your mod extends, one in each line of file.
- if you enable mod that extends another mods, system will make sure they are enabled before continuing
- you can create mod sets by creating only <name>.extends without <name> directory
- file that are changed few times are remembered - i.e. all past versions are stored
- you cannot remove mod without removing what depends on it
3) no, really - there is no 3... just <name> directory and <name>.extends file! All is managed by launcher and you don't have to worry about it!
System itself works using simple
--list-mods
--enable-mod=name
--disable-mod=name
There already 23 mods packaged in two AUR packages:
daggerfall-fixes - https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=50417 - unofficial fixes to standard features ( http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Daggerfall:Fil … _and_Fixes ), good for 99% of players, you would most likely also want to enable wagon capacity of 1000 and high skills if you want to get original Daggerfall experience!
daggerfall-addons - https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=50422 - unofficial addons to standard features, without gameplay modification ( http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Daggerfall:Fil … al_Add-Ons ), good for 90% of players, no gameplay mods, only more quests, text, textures, etc - you might want to disable mod brendan_straight_text and enable brendan_funny_text for some in-game jokes
From now on I will only fix bugs in launcher/packager and update daggerfall-fixes and daggerfall-addons as new versions come out upstream. I will not package other mods (no, really. I don't plan to because I don't use them when playing and they modify the game too much in my opinion), but it's easy and you can do it if you want, just extract archives to right places. What you might want to package?
1) Bigger gameplay mods
- AndyFall
- DaedraFall
- The Pirates of Tamriel
2) Translations
- French
- Spanish
- Russian
3) Save game editors and cheating tools if you are into this stuff
4) gui for launcher?? PyQt maybe? Anyone?
http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Daggerfall:Files is great resource for starting. Oh, and this installation and launcher is compatible with to-be-engine-remake DaggerXL/XLEngine - see http://xlengine.com/ - yay for native linux, windows and mac client!
And last but not least, tell me if you find any bugs in launcher or extractor, it grew quite a lot - almost 1500 lines of bash and python, so mistakes could crawl in. If not, I announce The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall fully packaged - and Arch is first linux distro I know to have one
HAVE FUN!

Any thoughts on the elder scrolls 'emporer of cyrodil' trophy?

I think this looks like the toughest trophy I have ever seen on playstation. Becoming emporer means being the best player in a (one server europe wide) campaign of a very popular game.I've read the elder scrolls forum thoughts, some seem to praise it saying trophies should have challenge, congratulations to people who do manage it I guess, but I know that I never will, and therefore will never get the platinum trophy either.Is it too tough, or do people enjoy trophies like these?

It certainly puts the platinum trophy out of my reach. I'm terrible at online trophies lol, so many games where I need 1 or 2 trophies for play but they're multiplayer ones. Still, I'm loving this game. It kinda makes me sad that there's so much negativity around it.

It's Elder Scrolls fault????

Talked to customer service for the second time and they are blaming Elder Scrolls for not providing enough early access codes. So even though I paided for the Premium Edition I might get the three day early access code ... and a $15.00 digital gift card for my troubles. So glad I made a point of doing all the betas only to hear about others playing the game today.

you guys are lucky i dint get a gift card, all they told me was we ran out of codes here have a 3 day one sorry, bye. Terrible service, it is not zenimax's fault, every code is assigned to a pre order, it is best buys fault for selling pre orders without having anymore keys. You ran out of keys.. stop selling the game if you cant provide the services you are trying to sell.
A retail stores purchases so many coderom the company. It is Zeminax fault for some of those codes not working in the first place, hence, other codes have to be used...

Elder Scrolls Preorder Pickups

Anyone wanna explain how you get told your preorder is ready Day before release(good idea cuts down on giving away people's preorders on launch day) And then you show up at the store and the employee rudely tells you cant pick it up yet as its NOT launched? Does this employee not realize Early access for some started Sunday if they have the imperial edition? The game very clearly has indeed Launched so why hold someone's preorder if its there in the store? I am extremely disappointed that the Employees in question were more concerned about making me wait in a Line on Launch day then fufilling my order. I dont expect to get everything right away but if best buy is going to tell me my order is rdy then they should be willing to give it to me a few hrs earlier as most people PAY for the right to get to the front of the line Not Wait in them on Launch day.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

What your complaining about is silly. Preorders are only ever allowed to be picked up or recieved on launch day. The reason they send you the pick up email the day before launch is probably because it is their way of reminding you to pick up your order on release and to let you know they have prepared your order. Elder Scrolls Online does not officially launch until tomorrow the 4th. That is why we recieved early access codes to allow us to play until launch. After early access its expected that you enter a key to your account to continue playing. As of right now early access is extended until Sunday April 6th to give time to those who preordered the physical edition to recieve their copies and enter their box codes.

Elder Scrolls Early Access Code

I still haven't gotten my Elder Scrolls online early access code. I called support last night and they said I should have one within 24 hrs. It's almost to the end of the 24 hrs now and still haven't received it. Just wanted to make sure I got one before the game was released tomorrow so I can use it to play over the weekend, as my physical copy won't be delivered until well into next week. I think you also need to register the Early Access code anyway on the Elder Scrolls account in order to get the pre-order bonuses.
Thank you for any help you can provide. Getting a little antsy here to start playing

Hello dank8,
I can certainly understand wanting to play The Elder Scrolls Online as soon as possible and I’m really sorry if you haven’t received the Early Access code. I was able to locate your order which looks like it was placed yesterday, 4/2. Your code should have gone out earlier today, however I don’t see that it has. I will send you a private message so that I can continue to assist which you will be able to view by logging in to the forum and clicking on the envelope icon in the upper right-hand corner of the screen.
Thanks for connecting with us on the forum.

So my I phone 4s volume has decided to pack allowing only my phone to make sounds when I have an incoming call, I can also here fine using facetime and receiving calls. YouTube, soundcloud, any of I players will no longer play sound. I've restored the phone using iTunes on my laptop and checked all the volumes are turned up and the button at the left hand Side of the phone is in the correct position.

Try inserting and re-inserting your headphones 7 or 8 times. Also try cleaning out the headphone jack in case of debris that might be interfering with the connection/disconnection.

I have a power mac G5 and want to play sims 3 on it.

I have a power mac G5 and want to play sims 3 on it. When I click on the disk from the desktop it says "you can not open the application the sims 3 installer, because its not supported on this architecture." How can I fix and or resolve this issue? Thanks in advance! Connor

Sorry, but The Sims 3 require an Intel CPU Mac running OS X Leopard 10.5.7 or greater.
Your G5 is IBM PowerPC Mac and therefore will not run on that hardware architecture.
No workarounds. You need a newer Intel Mac to play this version of The Sims.
Sorry,

Make a Flash animation play only when it scrolls into view

I am designing a very long page. There will be a flash animation at the bottom of the page. I want this animation to play only when the user scrolls down and this flash object comes into view. How do I do this? I am quite familiar with flash and actionscript, so I just need some pointers.
I have seen that this is already being used for advertisements. If you visit www.amazon.com, there are ads that appear far below on the page. These ads play only when you scroll down and the ad appears within the browser window. This happens on many other sites as well.
Many popular sites also use something like this. On CNN, try opening a new tab that loads a flash video. The video begins to play only when you actually go to that tab. Until you open the tab and the contents become visible in your browser window, the video doesn't start. How is this done?
Thanks in advance,
Kumar

Hmmm ... It looks like Amazon doesn't always run ads. I will give another example.
Take a look at http://digg.com/
There is a 300x250 ad at the top of the right-column. Ignore that.
In addition, there is a second 300x250 ad halfway down the page in the right column.
This second 300x250 ad appears when you scroll down.
The interesting thing is that the ad plays from the beginning when you first see it after scrolling down!
Most flash ads run for 15 seconds. After that the animation stops. When you see this second 300x250 ad, you will find it at the beginning of its 15 second animation. It plays from the beginning even if you wait for some time before scrolling down. This means that the ad is waiting for you to scroll down before it begins to play.
How is this done?
Thanks.
