Store Content Problems Fixes/Game Play Tweaks
Step 16 - In Game Options (Essential)
The game has some options that are on by default that tin can deadening down the game if turned on. You may plough the off if you like.
Graphics Options (1st tab - Monitor)- Turning the Refresh rate of the game to default setting is the all-time setting to go for since we accept made the graphics card handle the refresh rate in the graphics cards control panel and with The Sims 3 engine the game has to be run at 60fps or under or the game physics engine will starting time to suspension resulting stuttering and broken physics.
Full general Options (3rd tab - Gears) - Turning the options that I accept circled in blood-red to off will assist the games performance profoundly.
Shop Mode option - if yous followed the step earlier nearly restricting the ".jpegs" from generating so the shop manner is useless and can be turned off for a lot of actress performance.
Interactive loading Screens Option - This was a practiced concept but the final production can really make loading up your game even longer so disabling this option can brand the game load your save file quicker.
Disable Memories - This feature is actually expert for story telling and legacy save files but it can become very laggy with every sim in town getting constant memories all the fourth dimension setting this to off will help the games performance greatly. If you like this feature turned on but still desire performance I would recommend looking at the mod No (or fewer) automatic memories [modthesims.info] this modernistic makes it then just important events in your sims life is saved and not useless ones.
Online/Social Options (7th tab - Antenna) - Turning off the options circled in ruby-red is highly recommend for performance since in game online stuff in the sims three was added poorly and results in a lot of lag on the games engine keeping the any online options off will improve performance greatly.
Advanced Demographics Options (ninth tab - Silhouette of Two Sims) - (OPTIONAL) turning the options off that I have circled in red tin improve functioning greatly this just means that sims that are non any of these life states tin can not be turned into them and sims that are already that life state can not plow other sims into that life land. Practice not worry sims that are already say a vampire will not exist turned to a human being again if turning vampire off ect.
