Warning: Sims 3 Demo Is A Virus!

Read this on a forum so I thought I would share since so many people want to try out the Sims 3 … It has been seen on The Sims 3 Facebook page as an advertisement and has actually been downloaded by some anxious fans. This is NOT the leaked or cracked version widely available on torrents sites…

To the community,

If you see a file on the internet of “The Sims 3 Demo”, under any circumstances, do NOT download the file, as it is a virus. We all know how anxious everyone is to get their chance to play The Sims 3, but at this time there is NOT an official demo available. If there ever will be, you can download it from the official Sims 3 website (not to mention countless Sim fansites will be reporting on it).

So far, links have been found on The Sims 3 Facebook page in the comments, so be aware and do not click on any attachments of .zip, .exe or the likes. And always keep your trusty anti-virus software up-to-date in case you do accidentally click on it.

Fansite owners, I urge you to please make a post and to steer simmers away from potentially harming their computers Smiley

Thanks to WIKIDSIM2K4 from the Sims 2 BBS for the tip!

Not to mention unless it comes from a reliable site such as MTS2, Sim Programs or The Sims 3 Official site it’s most likely a fake. I’ve seen several in my travels including one that was actually Pet Stories claiming to be Sims 3. No demo has been released and I wouldn’t get my hopes up either.
