Is there a way to play this game without having low fps? My PC is a RTX 3060 TI and an AMD Ryzen 5 3600 yet it lags as hell
1. There are things you can do to help, Nrass overwatch is one, if starts getting laggy " Click on City Hall (or a Computer) and choose the option
NRaas – MasterController – Town – Reset Everything. "
City Hall/Computer > NRaas > Overwatch >
Settings > One I remember off top of head that need to be false for KW
Stuck Check Auto-Reset = False
There is another one, but I forget what it was. I think it is
Disable Clean up Outfits needs to be false also. KW whoring outfits job outfits will get cleaned up I think that was the problem.
2. Google sims 3 Merging packages. Merging packages is probably the single most helpful thing I did to make it run smoother, and better.
Sims 3 does not seem to mind the size of a package, but the number of packages really buggers it.
3. Next biggest fix ( may be the biggest) is here
You must be registered to see the links
Sims three is old, and it won't find or identify your vid card so it will default to lowest setting telling you your card is shit. It will basically trash your vid cards ability to do anything right with it. That fellows game fix makes fixing this easy.
I use to have to jump through a bunch of hoops to fix my vid card so it was identified, but now with his fix it is easy to correct the unidentified vid card.
4. After that google sims 3 ellacharmed map fixes. The EA original maps are plagued with buggy ai mapping, and she fixed ,most all of those.
5. There are some tweaks in the main Options menu also that help a lot, should be able to find most of those googling easy enough. That click item while game is loading for sure ought to be disabled, but to many things there for me to remember.
6. You should be able to find someones .bat file that will clear your WorldCaches everytime you run it and load your game, but don't use it every time, just once in awhile, use the default short cut normally, but clearing the Cache is needed quite often, you can do it yourself, but having a handy .bat file do it for you is nice.
The files to delete are in Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3, they are regenerated every time the game loads but over time they can get buggy.
CasPartCache.package
compositorCache.package
scriptCache.package
simCompositorCache.package
socialCache.package
7. In my opinion Sims 3 is light years ahead in game play enjoyment, next to sims 4, but left trashed maybe intentionally by EA.
8. Some maps even with the best of work when running many scripted mods will still be fucked, but most with a modern system, and those things I mentioned being done will do fine.
Probably some I missed mentioning but I think those are the main things you should work towards fixing.
