Yes a little bit, but it would still be worth buying for sure

The e8600 isn't a bad choice and is quite cheap, but if you can afford a q9650 or q9550 quad core then get one of those instead.

The Sims 3 is heavily single threaded - you will actually get better performance on TS3 with the dual core e8600 than the quad core q9650 because the e8600 has a higher clock speed (3.33ghz vs 3ghz) :)
