A note, sometimes you may need to move the graphicsrules and .ini file to the desktop on Win10. I couldnt edit them until placed outside the folders as it error'd that I needed to 'contact the file owner to edit' Edit: thanks so much for this, was able to do all this in about 15min and my pc is so quiet now. I have a 2060 and it was running hot and loud as a jet engine, now it's nearly silent. 8)

Thank you! I had already followed other recommendations, but I modified some things along with what you show and it helped a even more. It bugs me how poorly optimized this game is, even after all these modifications, not having impeccable performance on the machine I use today is something surreal.

I agree, I couldn’t even play and enjoy the game without it crashing some yrs ago so very grateful we have these fixes but frustrating that’s it’s still buggy also happy these fixes helped a little for you :)

@@KozyKubGam3rThanks for this tutorial. I like that you were able to explain each field in the graphic cards settings. You mentioned in this video that your PC is mid-range. I hope u don't mind but may I know your computer's processor? My laptop's only Corei3, I don't know if that falls under the mid-range category.... thanks!
@KozyKubGam3r Жыл бұрын
hey, sorry for the late reply. A core i3 is more lower end range but can run sims 3. My processor is a ryzen 5 5600 but I recently upgraded from a intel i7 3rd gen. I most likely would of stayed with the i7 but for life by you, it's not good enough. For sims 3 and 4 if you're looking to upgrade, you wouldn't have to go for anything that's too much unless you like fast paced games too like COD or something

Good video with simple overrides for performance. I have issue with Smooth Patch 1.2.1 where "when i drop .package mods" UI bugs out and makes existing saves unusable. Deleting it don't make this fatal error. Anyways thanks. now i can see full 165 FPS on my Sims 3
@KozyKubGam3r7 ай бұрын
Thank you! If you are running the game with steam or disk at 1.67 it’s my understanding that the smooth patch doesn’t work. Otherwise you would need version 2.1 but I’m not sure about it causing these kind of issues. Have you tried running the game at 60 fps?

@KozyKubGam3r4 ай бұрын
@@Idk34227 That's enough to run the game yes but depending on your graphic card (being a low end laptop I'm assuming it's integrated Intel?) and depending on how much space you have on your drive with some other variables to consider, then no the smooth patch won't make much of a difference if at all unfortunately. I would suggest getting a mid range gaming desktop if you can with at least 16gb ram for multi tasking and having a ssd drive specifically for gaming and a separate one for your operating system. It would also be good to have another drive for storage oc. Also with a dedicated gpu. Sims 3 is graphics intensive and can be massively slowed down by virtual RAM caching depending. But also limit CC if any and always check for bad cc. Sims 3 has so many different bugs and there's is so many variables to consider which makes seemingly small issues very hard to pin down and fix.

this is so helpful thank you so much! however, i'm a bit confused. am i supposed to open the game through the smooth patch version or the normal sims game? because all the gpu changes we made was on the original game so which do i open? thank you again!!
@KozyKubGam3rАй бұрын
Glad it was helpful:) sorry for the confusion. If you have the smooth patch only then you would have to start the game through the install file so navigate to the drive usually c: drive > the sims 3 > game > bin and run the game by clicking TS3PatchLauncher.exe Or you could also install the custom launcher modthesims.info/d/662581/ld-s-sims3launcher-origin-1-69.html and then you can run the game as normal Which I would recommend:)
@bunnsiespetraАй бұрын
@KozyKubGam3r yes thank you but i did all the steps, so i don't only just have the smooth patch. i did all the gpu related stuff. so with the gpu and all do i still open it through the smooth patch version or the normal sims game? i only had the smooth patch for like a few weeks and opened it from there until i heard people talking about needing to change the gpu and all that. sorry if i'm easily confused 😅
@KozyKubGam3rАй бұрын
@@bunnsiespetra If I understand correctly and you don't have the smooth patch anymore. You can just start the game normally. But because I didn't see this message until 5 days later I'm assuming you already figured it out. The smooth patch and gpu settings are separate. The gpu settings has nothing to do with how you start your game. Only if you have the smooth patch would you then have to open up as I described above, hope that makes sense

Hi, I’ve recently changed my laptop, it has 13th generation cpu and an integrated GPU. My game crashes and instantly stopes after 10-20 minutes of playing. I have had this problem since I installed the game. I have tried the NRAS mode and Smooth patch, I have also downloaded the GPU Add On and modified what you suggested and it still crushes under 20 minutes of playing. Can you please help me ? I rlly love this game and I cant find a fix..
