Hello my Friends!
I am Darklies :| The New Member and im here to fix your lag issues
**HERE IS SOLUTION**
Ok, lets Start. As you have noticed, many People suffering from (Lag, stuttering, slow game response, low performance, etc) due um a lot of reasons
It does not matters if they install WA Expansion Pack or not. Nor it matters if they install any Custom Content (CC).
Is the fact that there is a way for you, the Simmers, who don't love lagged games, and want to do something in order to enjoy a smoother gameplay, if is possible!
I am here to offer you a help for solution to this issue most Simmers have with their slow The Sims 3 games!
WHY WE GET LAG? WHAT CAUSES IT?
The Sims 3 is a game which, unlike older games in the series, has the Open Neighborhood System. Thus, the game, except your family you play with, must play with the whole town's population as well (AI, Story Progression Mode). Because of this, some players may experience lag, and especially if they have normal / moderate / non-End-gaming computers.
But even the players with end-game computers (end-game = means = strong computer), may get lag as well, especially if they install the WA Expansion Pack + / or some Custom Content. I am one of them!!
Ok, lets see why I got lag in my game: I have installed the World Adventures Expansion Pack, and thus, I have downloaded so much CC from various sites on internet, and this, bad news, caused a major lag to my game!!! And even before I install all those, my base game was lagging (a bit, which was unnoticeable). Thus, I have to mention that all my video settings are in maximum and I never wanted to sacrifice the game quality for more game performance!
This Guide aims to help you getting higher game performance, speed and FPS, WITHOUT even toughing, sacrificing or changing your favorite game's Video Settings at all!
Thanks to this guide, I have MAXED all the Graphic Settings and at same time my game is SMOOTHER than I even should imagine!
+not so important step [YOU CAN SKIP IT IF U WANT] :!:
*unskippable step :!:
STEPS OF HOW TO SOLVE/ELIMINATE/LIMIT YOUR LAG:
--------------------------------------------------------------
---------
**Step 1: Download the following 3 softwares: 1) Advanced System Care (which heals your computer) and can be downloaded from here: http://www.iobit.com/advancedwindowscareper.html , 2) GameBooster (which closes all unnecessary Windows/Microsoft progresses while playing) and can be downloaded from here: http://www.iobit.com/gamebooster.html , 3) FPS Limiter 0.2 (which sets a FPS limit to your game, which your video card to run without getting overhelmed, and thus, with better performance) and can be found on a lot of site just search for it in google
Download those 3 softwares, and after you have downloaded all of them, go to Step 2.
--------------------------------------------------------------
---------
++Step 2: Install the Advanced System Care software. And then run it. Update it with latest updates. And then, Scan your system with it and it will repair automatically any errors it may find in your System and in your Registry. This is critical as stable and clean system can lead to a smooth gameplay. After that, go to Step 3.
--------------------------------------------------------------
---------
**Step 3:
3.a) Install the FPS Limiter 0.2 by following the sub-steps bellow:
3.b) Unpack the files of FPS Limiter to a folder. Unpack them all into ONE folder, together, and keep permanently that folder somewhere safe in your hard driver. If you are a Windows Vista user, keep this folder out of Program Files or it may not work well!!!
3.c) Double click the java application (FPS_Limiter_GUI.jar), and then click "Search Executible"
3.d) Find the .exe for either the Sims 3 base game or the Sims 3 World Adventures. Usually they are in
My Computer/C:/Program Files/Electronic Arts/Sims 3/Game/Bin (TS3W.exe), or, if you have the expansion, then, Sims 3 World Adventures/Game/Bin (TS3EP01.exe).
3.e) In the FPS Limiter, Set the FPS to what ever you want (30-60 FPS is good, 30 is recommended for slow computer and 60 for fast ones)
3.f) Then Click 'Create Bat'.
Now the FPS Limiter will generate/make an new, ugly file called Sims3WA.limited or something, which can be found in the folder of the FPS Limiter itself. Make a shortcut of this new file to your desktop. From now, you must play the game using this new file's shortcut. Not use the original shortcut of the game!. The original shortcut of the game can be used only only for updating your game and for using the game launcher (uploads, downloads, etc). But, for playing the game, just run this new file the Limiter created for you. Make a shortcut of the new file to your desktop. Play the game using this new file. That is all!!!
Optionally, You can do anything with this file's shortcut, like to rename it to a more proper name like "Sims 3" and make it have the Icon that of TS3 or World Adventures.
There you go! you now have a pretty Icon you can now use (which bypasses the launcher) that will make your game run at a nice, smooth, limited FPS.
--------------------------------------------------------------
---------
Now your game is ready! Follow the following 3 steps below for how to set ready your computer and play!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------
---------
++Step 4: Close your internet connection, so you safely can close all your Anti-Viruses and Firewalls!!! Close all your Firewalls and Anti-Viruses!!! All those internet-protection programs can eat a lot of PC resources, which leaves no enough resources for the game to run fast! Then go to Step 5.
--------------------------------------------------------------
---------
**Step 5: Install and Run the GameBooster. Press GO TO GAME MODE. It will close all your unnecessary hidden/background Processes (that are automatically starting with Windows when you start the computer but you don't need them while playing Sims 3! They eat valuable PC resources!). Go to Step 6 now.
--------------------------------------------------------------
---------
**Step 6: Run the game via the new file's shortcut you created in the step 3! Running the file will NOT immediately run the game. First it will pop out a Command Window. Don't tough it! Is the FPS Limiter. Have patience as it takes some seconds. Shortly after the pop up of the Command Window, the game runs, skipping the Game Launcher!
--------------------------------------------------------------
---------
ENJOY THE GAME!!!
NOTES:
1)Each time you want to play the game, just repeat from step 4 to 6 and enjoy the game! Simple! And when you exit/finish Sims 3 game, close the Command Window of the FPS Limiter. Then, you must run again the GameBooster and return from GAME MODE to NORMAL MODE! Simple!.
:| i hope it helped A LOT :|
And i hope i get rid of my fricking shyness......... have fun if it worked
