The Sims 3 v1.0 (from T-Mobile Vibrant ROM dump)
Requirements: Android 2.1+, Cortex A8+, 800x480/854x480, a lot of free space (if you run a Froyo ROM & install the app to your SD card, it only takes up 472k! Otherwise, it's very large.)
For Snapdragons phones: HTC HD2, Liquid A1, Nexus One, HTC Desire, Sony X10, HTC Droid Incredible, HTC EVO, and the Dell Streak -> http://forum.mobilism.org/viewtopic.php?f=408&t=134652
For those not on Froyo (without the ability to install apps to the SD card): here's another's post with a 35mb apk that forgoes music -> http://forum.mobilism.org/viewtopic.php?f=408&t=134459

Overview: Based on the #1 PC game franchise of all time, THE SIMS™ 3 delivers exciting gameplay and endless possibilities for fun! Enjoy unexpected moments of surprise & mischief for your Sims. Create & customize their appearance and personality. Take your Sims out of the house and into a magical, open-world environment!



Features:
* Think The Sims 3, Android Market version, but an order of magnitude more awesome. Maybe a few orders of magnitude.

Code: Select allhttp://www.eamobile.com/mobile-games/the-sims-3

Download Instructions: Download and install both files, 01 and then 02. I cannot confirm that this works on Android versions pre-2.1, nor on hardware that's a generation (or more) older than what's in the Galaxy S. For the record, it works flawlessly on my Moto Droid, both stock speeds/ROM and overclocked @ 800MHz + Ultimate Droid 6.0.0.

It runs on my Droid Incredible but the shading and textures are basically nonexistent. You can make out the walls of the house but everything is an extremely dark gray/black color. So, not really playable, but it was worth a shot

That's a bummer draiko. I think it's safe to say that since the game was coded for the Galaxy S, similar hardware (Motorola Droid, DroidX, etc.) with A8's and an SGX gpu will have the best chance. Quite frankly it's perfect on the Droid. Snapdragons (Droid Incredible, Desire, EVO, etc.), without claiming that they are any better or worse for gaming, are simply glitchy because of their different gpu.

Please edit release according to "How to post a release" sticky and then report using the icon.

is it working on nexus one?

I'm running it on the hd2 with android and I'm getting the exact same problem as draiko....

it really sucks I really waned to play this game

tuppaacc: Unfortunately the HD2 also is saddled with the AMD z430 gpu as with all Snapdragons, so I'm not surprised.
fabler: The N1 is also Snapdragon, so very very unlikely.

Let's just put it out there: this game is a no-go on Snapdragon.

However, on non-Snapdragons equal to or newer than the A8 architecture, is works beautifully.

Would be nice if anyone can rip the apk like with Need for Speed, to get this to work on sdcard

Nice works perfect on my galaxy s

Is this just a demo and has anyone tried it on nexus one?

15 WRZ$ + 9 for mirrors, category: RPG/Quest.

Not a demo.

Will not work on Snapdragon. (This is becoming pretty concrete, so I have edited the OP.)

Will not work on Snapdragon: HTC HD2, Liquid A1, Nexus One, HTC Desire, Sony X10, HTC Droid Incredible, HTC EVO, and the Dell Streak.

Again, it's not a directed knock against the Adreno GPU that the Snapdragons have, it's just that it's code-optimized for the SGX GPU. Some have gotten it to start but textures are missing and graphics are corrupted.

Obviously, any Galaxy S device is fine, as is the Droid, Droid X, Droid 2, & the Archos 5.

WOW, perfect on my Galaxy S, blimey this is the second game I have tried that is the same on my old Iphone 3GS that actually runs smoother and looks nicer on the Galaxy, thanks for uploading this.
