Interesting. In my household my buddy Sim accidentally got impregnated with an alien by abduction, but I didn't have the time to raise it so I let it return to it's homeworld. I wonder if he/she will ever pop back up in my Sim world. So if I'm a human there really isn't a way to gain the powers of multiple forms. Like an…
I have a few generic questions concerning mods. 1. Do “bug fixes” contribute in any way to lag or performance issues? I assume they don’t but I dislike how the game requires like 30ish bug fixes, which means extra package files that you can’t merge (I read you shouldn’t merge fixes) 2. If your active Sim experiences…
Still installing my game and everything. Random question to anyone who knows - the genie has this ensorcle ability that lets you control someone by adding them to your household for a few hours. My question is does that give you full access to their inventory? Like say I ensorcle an alien; can I take their Galaxy car? Atm…
> @igazor said: > @YamiJustin2 - The less than a second freeze happens because the game now has more things to display in the menu for the active sim than it did prior, namely the mod commands. You can also see something similar if you were to use certain food, ingredient, and recipe mods -- clicking on a fridge will cause…
An update on my “clicking on active Sim causing second-long freeze” issue. The culprit was definitely Nraas itself, even with just the Master Controller. However a program called Park Control, which legit fixed the freeze delay. All it does is make your CPUs idling cores do some work and not just sit there. Huge…
@igazor So I re-installed everything from scratch, and would test a Bridgeport household each time. On this re-install with the Smoothing Patch, it maintained 100fps with 1 or 2 frame drops here or there. The only time it every drops to 60-70 is if you scroll as fast as possible through the city non-stop. This re-install…

I am aware that this can be an issue due to numerous factors, but my only current issue is this: a micro-second, maybe half second of game freeze/lag when I click on the active Sim to pull up the pie menu. This is not an issue clicking on objects or other Sims. Current making a second install on the game and seeing if this…
> @igazor said: > @YamiJustin2 - If you have a monitor that runs at refresh rates higher than 60 Hz (e.g., 75, 144, something else) then it's fine to cap to that. As with all things there is a point of diminishing returns in there someplace, but many people (not everyone) can "see"/"feel" the difference in a difficult to…
@igazor Thank you for that! So it seems that all I really need is the smoothing patch and putting 2048 MB in that text. My GPU has 11gb but obviously it won't use anything close to that. And beyond capping it to 60fps using Nvidia Control Center (I heard the Sims 3 doesn't really display more than 60fps) I believe I have…
I have a question concerning redundancy when it comes to making the Sims 3 run better and take advantage of your GPU. It seems the Smoothing Patch works well, but I've also seen recommendations for that 4gb Patcher which supposedly let's Sims 3 use 4gb of ram. I've also seen in guides that you should manually change the…
> @Ellierosex said: > welcome, how are you enjoying the forum? Hi! I'm happy to see it's pretty busy on here. Sims 3 is my favorite, and I have a lot of free time.
Thanks for the response. I am starting a new playthrough and am currently adding the crucial mods people recommend. Mine are about recommendations for a long game that isn't easily broken. By broken I mean things like the Moodlet Manager or the Motive Mobil. Those seem to break the game (being kinda overpowered), and I was…
