Default FPS Limiter
Anyone know where I can find a fps limiter for the Sims 3?

Anything else? 3booter doesn't work for me. It literally won't run.

On the second post of the link coltraz gave you, there's the fps limiter download.

I downloaded the two files and followed the instructions given. I can't get 3booter to launch my game.

Edit: I'm running my game now and the limiter seems to be working regardless, even though I am getting fps up into the seventies and eighties.

Did you set it to 30 fps? if you do that it won't go to 70 or 80.
Here are instructions more detailed:

I never worked with 3booter, so i can't help you with that. But installing the fps made my game run smoother.

Not surprising since it was posted over six years ago.

If you require an fps limiter, I would suggest starting with the tools intended for your brand of graphics card. That would the Nvidia Control Panel for vertical sync (and Nvidia Inspector if also needed to lock things in or if windowed mode is required) or the control panels that come with AMD cards. As an alternative, there is RivaTuner Stats Server (RTSS) that doesn't actually do vertical sync but does pretty forcibly cap frame rates. I use this because my particular AMD Radeon card model cannot be limited using AMD's tools and it works fine.
