Update on this: Got the new fan, kinda scared to try running TS4, but I will tomorrow probably since I have the time. Hopefully, it was just heating. EDIT: It was just the heating! Now that I've got the intake fan and I have the front of my computer open (WITH A FILTER!) to keep airflow going, I've had no problems with…
New fan got here just in time for you to be the second person to point that out and tell me that. I'm too broke and too tired to think about getting a CPU after having spent like $800+ on parts already. This is depressing. I'm depressed.
Computer is dustless. Will try HWmonitor. @chesterbigbird This is the before: And this is the after: It's looking like it's the motherboard that's getting hotter than everything else.
I'm afraid to run things because I don't want stuff to lock *again*, but... If I'm using this program, what temperature is for what? Again, I realize that 50C isn't high while the computer is running processes. My issue is that, for SOME reason, the computer seems to like to lock up whenever I've finished running TS4. And…
HECK YEAH THAT SUCKER LOCKED UP. But while I was looking at the heat program I have, it was saying that my system got up to 58-60C, which my system *did not like*. This was in windowed mode with nearly everything turned down to medium while running Steam (downloading TS3) and Discord. I messed with the fan for my graphics…
Heating issue apparently? I've got two fans blowing out air, no fans pulling in cooler air. And the video card is such that it will only turn on its fans once it reaches like 60C........ We have learned that running low-intensity games (Stardew Valley, Rimworld, etc.) don't cause issues. Games that require more (such as…
I have issues outside of the game, sure. The thing locks up. Yes, that is the motherboard. The RAM is....Viper something? It's Viper something and I got it as a set of 4GB at Fry's. Lemme see if I can find it... https://www.frys.com/product/7796618?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG No issues when booting up. Completely random…
Hey folks. Was still having issues and multiple tech people suggested it may be the fact that I had four different RAM sticks with one of them being a 2GB and the other three being 4GB each....but one of the 4GB being at a different speed than the other two. So now I only have two sticks (down to 8GB), but we're hoping…
I didn't have any issues when playing windowed, but I also stopped playing well before the point that it locked up last time. I'm thinking that I'll try it again tonight before I go to bed and if I still have a problem (I really hope I don't), I'll report it here.
Drivers were all the veeeery first things I updated! But would Windows updates be enough to make the game wreck my entire computer? We were waiting on your *~*endless wisdom*~* to check out the dxdiag and make sure that I'm not going nuts and that my computer can handle the game. Is it true?! Please tell me I'm not crazy.…
I will do so. Thus far with my game playing windowed, I haven't had any problems. Going to see if anything happens. EDIT: Computer is brand spanking new, so I think I'm going to be doing chain Windows updates for a while.
It will mess up the audio coming from my headphones and then the entire computer becomes unresponsive. The only thing I can do is manually turn the computer off by holding down the power button.
I normally play on windowed full screen. I have closed all windows while playing before. These are issues that have been existing since the expansion's launch and, at this point, no one can seem to figure out why this is happening to my game. I'll try playing with a lower resolution next after I get out of this EA chat…
Goodness gracious, your images are so amazing... Do you touch them up in post or is this how the world ACTUALLY LOOKS on your computer? (if this is how it actually looks, what kind of computer are you running?! i can't risk having a bunch of lots visible or shadows up too high or else gameplay takes a BIG dip...)
I never post in here anymore really but I am bouncing around in my seat wanting to play this world. I've always loved every single world that you've made and the fact that you're making one CATERING to Supernaturals gives me the oomph to want to PLAY them again. It's not very fun playing a Supernatural when you're the only…
Yeah, haha. I made my window as tiny as possible and it just made it impossible for me to see anything other than my Sims standing and not moving... I just cancel all actions at about 7:40, then pause the game at 8AM. Aaaand wait.
I tried that last night and BOY did it not do anything. After repairing my game, though, I'm able to play more recent files to a degree. The game definitely stutters less throughout the Sim day, which is nice. 8AM is still kinda hellish, though. Less than it was, but nowhere close to perfect.
Here's the thing, though: I'm playing one of my older files from around back when Get Together came out. I played this file a lot for a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time. It's an old file. But I'm only getting the lag problem at 8AM, when everyone's going to work and school, instead of throughout the entire file's day.…
I'm still having this problem. In fact, I have paused my game to allow the game to "catch up", but also to post about this issue. I've mentioned it before in another thread and it didn't do much. Cleaned up tray folder, erased unnecessary saves, done some serious CC pruning, but I'm still having awful issues. I really hate…
Hey there guys! I finally got back and did do some deleting of things in my gallery I didn't need. Also moved my screenshots to a separate file. I'm trying to remember if MCCC has an option that makes it so you can sell everything in everyone's inventory... I know that NRAAS does, but...hm. I'm also running about and…
Thank you so much to the both of you. Rest assured, my computer is more than capable of running TS4 on the highest of settings. Moooooooooooooore than capable, lmao. Do you know if saves can suffer the same bloat issue as the saves back in TS3 did? My Sims in this current household are actually living in a save that I…
I like Alpha hair for Sims 3 and I like....B-beta??? Slightly less alpha hair for The Sims 2, but it clashes so strongly with the TS4 aesthetic, I can't stand it. Unless, of course, you download enough realistic looking CC for TS4 that it doesn't clash anymore...
Having problems with my game just kind of...freezing? A lot. Time keeps passing, but my Sims stand there and don't do anything for a long time, sometimes never doing anything even after I reset all of them.
I don't know if this is from this last patch or the Parenthood one before it, but my Teen Sims are struggling to keep their social afloat. I've had my Teen that's in the red talk to her brother for the last few in-game hours and she's still hovering right above yellow. Is anyone else having this problem? EDIT: I'm also…
