If you have any questions about the below steps, please visit the Technical Support forum on the official Sims 3 community found at this URL: Ĭustom content is all Sims content that did not come from an official The Sims 3 Update, The Sims 3 Store, Expansion Pack, or Stuff Pack. The most recent patch or release will always be at the top.īefore installing an update for The Sims 3, an Expansion Pack, or a Stuff Pack, it is a good idea to run through the following checklist to ensure your game continues to work smoothly. They are easy to identify as the second integer in the game version will be zero. If a new expansion pack is released on the same day as a patch (Which has been the case with HELS and Ambitions) the original game version will be added to the table even though the patch doesn't technically update it. You can avoid moving the entire Documents folder if you know how to make symbolic links.The game version displayed with each patch in the table below is the version the game has been updated to after applying the patch. Finally, I highly, highly suggest you install the game on an SSD, and move your Documents folder there too so the game can use it in-game to store and retrieve data faster. A mid-range CPU with 3 Ghz of clock speed and 4 cores is recommended. You need at least 8 GB of RAM or more if you have programs in the background. You should have a DEDICATED graphics card if you want to run the game with heavy EPs like Seasons and Pets.
This is all assuming your PC can handle The Sims 3. Sunset Valley and Twinbrook are okay for the most part, but Bridgeport, China and especially Isla Paradiso are quite broken without the fixes. It already includes Overwatch for convenience.įinal step is to get ellacharmed World Fixes and replace EA worlds with hers. If you don't have this folder, you need to download my set-up folder and extract it in Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3. Third step is to download NRaas Overwatch and ErrorTrap and install it in Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages.
I recommend the latter, as you won't need to run any additional programs. Second step is getting a frame limiter or forcing V-Sync with Nvidia Inspector if you have an Nivida GPU. You can read more about it in this comment I made. You may need to edit the GraphicsCard.sgr and GraphicsRules.sgr files, or use a program to achieve this. The first step should ALWAYS be to make sure the game recognizes your GPU and assigns the maximum score to your CPU. The Sims 3 with all DLC installed can run with almost zero lag if you make sure to optimize your game as much as possible.
