Since 1.69, we can't use FPS Limiter for CAW any more. The new CAW runs at ~3k FPS. That's going to melt my card. Sims 3 melted two GTX275s before I discovered FPS Limiter. Now I've got a GTX660 & I don't want to melt it.
Since 1.69, I've figured out how to run TS3 with VSync as long as it's at full screen. However, CAW won't run fullscreen, so I can't use the same solution on it.
The last time I tried to install & run CAW was several months ago. Does anyone know if they have found a fix yet?

I'm on 1.67 and use an external tool to throttle my FPS on both CAW and Sims 3, so I'm not going to be much help myself. EA certainly hasn't fixed the problem, but I vaguely recall that some utilities have been found to work in windowed mode for the normal game; I honestly can't remember which ones, so this is probably false hope, but it might be useful to look for a solution regarding the game itself.
I just quickly searched for solutions about capping the frame rate of Sims 3 (not CAW) in windowed mode and found this post:
Maybe that will help or at least point you in the right direction. Good luck!

Thank you for your response! I'll have to go look for that. I managed to fix S3 via nVidia Control Panel VSync configuration, but it will only work in Fullscreen so I am unable to use it on CAW which only runs windowed. I will look into this nVidia Inspector, though, & see if it will work for me. Thank you very much!
