My question is about the Sims Medieval, but since its similar to the Sims 3 hopefully someone can help. When I play my game my fps is over 200. I tried to cap it with the NVIDIA control panel, but it doesn't work. I managed to cap it at 60 with Rivatuner, but now I get awful screen tearing. I don't get screen tearing if I don't limit my fps. But I think its bad to let my fps get over 200 all the time. I've also tried playing in windowed mode and the screen tearing is still happening. I want to play my game, but I can't with the screen tearing. Can someone help?

If you are using the GeForce Experience program, be sure not to "optimize" the settings, this can make a mess on older games and can get in the way of fps capping. The option can be undone if it's already invoked.
I use Rivatuner also (on an AMD card), but the usual tool to add in if the Nvidia Control Panel is not going to work alone is Nvidia Inspector and explicitly set its frame cap to 60. Also try 59 or 61 to see if those help (this is assuming a 60 Hz monitor/screen, that's pretty standard but some of them can run higher).

I didn't use Nvidia inspector because I got confused about which one I was supposed to download.

On the GeForce Experience optimization question, this post (under the Spoiler) shows where to look and what to undo ("Revert") if it's done.

Also I checked and none of my games have been optimized with geforce experience.
@SimplyJen - Do you see the executable for TSM listed along with those for TS3 on Inspector? Or any other suggestions on the screen tearing?

The setting in Inspector is the first one on top in Section 2, Sync and Refresh, and it's called Frame Rate Limiter. You may not be able to set it to 60 exactly, so try 58.8 or whatever you see that is close to 60, if you can find the setting.

The next tool to try if this isn't going to work out is RivaTuner Stats Server (RTSS) but you already tried that one first.
As for the line/tear at the bottom of the screen, does this now happen in both full screen and windowed? If windowed works out better for either game, you may want to try Windowed Borderless Gaming as it helps mitigate Win 10 specific issues that keep getting in the way for many who get these.
