It’s so funny the fact the community it’s doing a better job the EA 😂

[PDD]

Lazy Duchess is an angel in the sims community, idk how they manage to edit both sims 2 and sims 3 to a elemental level but I'm so grateful for the all the improvements

I downloaded this and am absolutely blown away at how well it works. Dragging the CASt over to a new chair or wall or floor or whatever was always a pain for me because it takes so long for the item to update. This completely changed it! No spinning wheel at all! I’m shooketh!! And the patterns INSTANTLY CHANGE and update as you click through your desired options!!

This is simply a must have for all TS3 players!! The difference in my game is insane.

The reason it runs better at 30 FPS is because the engine was built with 30 FPS in mind. The game is capable of pushing more frames, but the engine starts to struggle. Other games also have issues related to FPSs. For example, all the games made in the Gamebryo/Creation Engine (Bethesda games) have serious issues above 60 FPS because the engine's physics are tied to the FPSs. This is pretty normal for older video games. Newer games are built in better engines like Unreal and Unity, which do not have these limitations.

Does it mean it will run island paradise smoothly!? If that’s the case SOMEBODY SHARE THIS WITH LILSMISE so she can finally continue with her hotel!! She never got a chance to finish it due so much lag it ruined the whole experience for her!

Omg I'm so excited. I just got into playing TS3 because I've been binge watching you the past 5 days. Thanks for making the video :)

This is everything and more I wanted for the Sims 3 for past decade! Thank you for sharing this, I love seeing new Sims 3 content in 2022 and seeing better gameplay

This is a lifesaver for me! I’m tired of dealing with the mean behavior glitch in my Sims 4 game. I’m ready to go back to Sims 3.

Omfg this is so exciting! I’ve been waiting for this to come out since the beta was announced. I’m downloading this literally *right now*

[loneliestwolf]

The way I absolutely RAN to install this it works! I use CC Magic and somehow nothing went wrong and being a CC addict with probably more than 50GB of CC I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw how quickly CAS loads, wtf. Only thing is that it seems to disable the compact clothes/accessories setting that I have in NRAAS mastercontroller BUT having said that, I don't care because it loads so fast that I don't mind seeing all available swatches.

This patch really damaged my game and I’m SO sad, because being a creator (mainly extremely complex outdoor and pet decor) who’s testing new content for release every week or so and also running a story blog, my game bogs down extremely quickly and I’m getting to the point where I can’t use it for both anymore. I have to shuffle so much shit around just to be able to take one or two screenshots several _hours_ later. I had hoped this patch would help even just a little, but as much as it improves some areas, it gradually made my game unplayable and I almost couldn’t even salvage it after uninstalling.

I’ve seen some other folks on the MTS discussion tab having similar problems, so at least I know I’m not the only one. It’s obviously nothing against the creator—I’m glad to see it’s working out better for others!

This mod is literally a whole new world when u play with it on. I found it out from your channel, watched all ur NRAAS videos bcs i truly wanted to play Sims 3 properly and I'm amazed. For those who doesn't know how to properly set the TPS in the txt file: I have 16GB RAM and AMD Ryzen 5 3400G and my settle amount is 1000 TPS, tried up to 1200 but the higher I put, the laggier it got with stuttering and such, so if you have a CPU close to mine in power: 1000 is the to-go amount. Otherwise, just try values: whenever you get stutters and fps drops, keep lowering it by 50 or 100 and just try, dont be scared. Don't go over 1200 bcs I have no idea what happens if you put that much in a low-mid pc.

[Luxaeons]

I really appreciate all the videos you post for the Sims 3 as a girl in her 20s still playing it consistently!!

[potts]

This mod makes me better appreciate modders and game devs alike. It’s a lot to simulate an entire town full of object and NPCs like the Sims 3 but IMO it was totally worth the risk and it’s good to see the game still being supported after all these years!

[KawaiiCat]

This mod is awesome! I had watched your last video about the first smoothness patch. I still play on the high settings and my game runs so much faster! It even loads faster. My computer is old so it still lags but this helped so much!

[rai]

the smooth patch changed my game forever. I don't think I could ever play without it again.

I'm not sure if my comment got deleted (maybe since I posted a link) but I wanted to spread awareness about this mod.

(THIS ONLY APPLIES IF YOU ARE USING NRAAS MODS)

I've been using this mod ever since I watched this video (thank you maddy!) and it was GREAT! and had no big problems with it. I'd sometimes get some ScriptErrors but it didn't really impact my gameplay too negatively.

However, after frequent errors I asked on the NRAAS fourms about it and apparently it's due to the Smoothness Patch. Apparently, even though it might not cause major problems now it could make your game unplayable in the future.

Personally I love this mod though so I didn't want to get rid of it. The helpful people on the forum told me about how I could just place the three main files within my game directory but not install the package files.

I'm no professional so I don't know what changes that technically makes. But after deleting the package files from the Mods folder and keeping the other files, I virtually get ZERO ScriptErrors! Although, CAS did kind of slow down. However, I think the technical functions of this mod like FPS or TPS (technical stuff I'm not really sure of 😅) continue to make your gameplay smoother. Anyways I think this is a better way of using this mod without risking your game!

I just realized this for myself, maybe everyone else already knew this info, but for those who didn't hope this helps!
