The sims 3 lag

Toggle navigation. Also added the source code for the lag fix so other modders can look into the script file or if ever I abandon this, someone can take in the reins Copy all your Sims to the library and move them to a new town.

Still trying to figure out how to fix this. Now, I use this guide to organize and install my Store content in manageable batches and I know what each one contains. I only installed it once and backed it up. Now, if I ever need to reinstall, I just copy and paste it into my user folder and it's all there.

It is a good idea to delete cache files every once in a while. They will regenerate when needed, and that can help in case they ever get corrupted. Whenever possible, use option Save As instead of just Save.

This will create a brand new save file for your world, instead of overwriting the same one over and over, which might lead to issues in the future. With Save As , you'll always get the cleanest save file possible, and you will have backups to go back to in case something goes wrong.

I hope that this guide helps players with lag in their games. These fixes have helped me run my game on High settings with no issues, and I hope they help others experience The Sims 3 in its full, lag free glory. I might update this if I use something new for my game, but for now, I hope that this is enough.

The first thing you should do, before beginning the check, extract, and merge process is to organize all of your files into one easy accessable folder. I did this here by showing the file I have created and titled for easy access. All of my programs that I will be using are here, the organized.

As shown here, there's my programs I'm using that you should have already downloaded, a file for my. Sometimes when downloading CC we get files that are only avaible in. So, I already have files that are. If you would really like to, you can go into further organization by creating files to organize your CC into categories such as Hair, Skin, Eyes, Objects, etc.

I don't do it because first of all, I'm too lazy, and second of all, I find it easier to be merging everything into one mixed CC file because I don't have too much CC to where I need to yet.

Once you have everything organized, then you should be good to move onto step 2. If you would like to know how to distinguish between. I'm sure the most of you won't have to continue, but for those who do, this is how you tell. Computers CAN be stupid. If your package file icon is different, then just ignore it, all computers have different icons for it, so don't worry. If you do have a different icon than that, another way to check it if you're still not sure is to go to the file, right click on an area where there is nothing, select view, select details then if you have to, scroll over or widen the selected window to where "File Type" is viewable and it will plainly tell you there in its details.

They also, when you double click them, will then open your sims3 game itself and allow you to install the CC through the game this is why your CC makes your game lag 10X more, in my opinion The icon is like this: If you still are incapable, the icon doesn't work that way, or if you just wanna make fer sure, then you can view details and view the file type just like with the package files.

Make sure that fer positive that you have by now followed all steps before this, also make sure that your programs are downloaded correctly. If you have followed all of what I have told you before, then this process should be insanely easy!!!!! If not, you will struggle throughout the rest of this guide! So, make sure, especially that everything is organized.

First, open Delphy's Multi-Extractor or commonly known as Multi-Installer which it is actually titled as a program. It should however, be set up to where Step 1 is your. Good question! The step is. Once your window appears EXACTLY LIKE my window unless your file names are different which may make this more complicated for you if you went ahead and did extra-neat-freak organization then all you have to do is select extract. Once you have done this, move on to the next step.

One of the reasons why I created this guide, is because in LadyEmilyE's guide, this is the part where she made optional that messed me up, and when looking at people's comments on her guide where they also messed up. If you have downloaded CC that contained both a. You also may have duplicated. OR, if this is not your first time doing this, you may have RE-extracted files to put in the package files folder, making them also duplicates or recorrupting the original package files if that makes any sense.

Whatever the case may be, I think this step is essential to the end result. Like this: If the program is okay now, or was originally A-Ok, then please select File as demonstrated yes, I know it doesn't look selectable , Select "Scan Folder Once it has been opened, it should appear like this: This will scan the files, and as the color code suggests at the bottom of the program what files are duplicated, corrupt, etc.

You can then select Fix Problems if anything appears.
