A preset of SweetFX HD Sharp and Bright like TS4 but for TS3.
All credit goes to Ceejay.dk for the sweetFX tools.
Vignette (for the gradient)
Border (also for the gradient and to make the UI look better)
Copy all files in FX folder in your main game “.exe” folder.
The main game folder is found in the C: or D: or wherever your game is stored > Program Files (x86) > Electronic Arts > The Sims 3 > Game > Bin
Back up everything in there and save it somewhere safe before adding the SweetFX files. You probably won’t need it, but better safe than sorry.
I prefer to right click my sims 3 desktop shortcut and go to open file location to get there quickly.
As long as your graphics card isn’t ancient you can run any of the HQ sweetFX’s, but only really good moniters and graphics cards will look good with the high or ultra. Otherwise, use medium or low sharpening.
To turn off & on toggle the f12 key.
Take screenshots with the f10 key, then they are placed as .bmps in the main game “.exe” folder where the sweetFX is installed.
Turn off edge smoothing in game. Anti-aliasing is done by the SweetFX.
Untick post processing effects to make the game even faster, the SweetFX does all the post processing itself.
Does not conflict with any other lighting or HQ mod.
This works in windowed mode, unlike TS4.
If the game crashes on launching it, try going through the ts3w.exe file in the folder where the sweetFX is installed. This will not uninstall your CC, either, it will still be there if you launch this way.
I left the split screen on that I used for preview pictures….oops
FIXED version fixed brightness issue.
W/ High Sharp (this is what the pictures were taken with)
