Thank you so much for your detailed response!! I always have trouble with the Sims 3 on my laptop - it's like the game itself is too much for my laptop to handle, even though Sims 4 works fine. I'd play the Sims 4 like there's no tomorrow if there were pets version, but unfortunately, there isn't. Do you use a laptop or desktop for Sims 3?
No problem, we have all been lost lambs ;) As I understand Sims 4 can pretty much be played on a potato (i have not tried it on my potato yet)And that kind of answers your other question, I play on a laptop (for shame!!)And I think I use more time organizing CC, merging CC, decompressing CC, cleaning out my computer, scanning it, vacuming it, general making sure my computer is a happy potato, then I actual play The Sims x)For my part, itâs my constant insisting to run everything on high, having HD Skins, big houses filled to the brim with CC, the piles unpon piles of horses and stables, that makes my computer sweat.Then I sometimes even put in a HD Mod, just to make it cry, and giving my dead threats - But I know it likes it ;) ha ha..There are loads of different programs to help you smooth your gameplay, like:Razer Gamebooster (I luv it!!)CC Magic - (a sims3pack sorting program, that I hold very dear) sims3Booter (making your sims start up and limits your FPS, so your graphiccard dosnât have to work overtime) Dashboard - to check for conflicting packages, CUSTARD - that can look inside sims3packages for corrupt things, Crashlog analyzer - well it analyzes crashes. Sims3 multi installer - that converts sims3packages into package files.I have linked to all, and most of them to tutorials by http://sims3.crinrict.com which I have used a lot :)I never use the launcher any more, I always start up via sims3booter :)Oh yeah, and then there is renaming your files (packages) so the dosnât have any special signs in them like ( )[ ] } { â and so on, plus taking out the spaces between words also helpes.Thatâs it⌠I think:. :)NO wait HERE is a forum thread on the laptop subject very helpfull Carls Sims Forum.
