Game Lag
How do you make your game run so smooth?
1. Use Save Cleaner
2. Use CC Magic to compress files
3. Rename any packages in your game so they dont have spaces and symbols like %&[] in them (_ is okay).
4. Make sure your game recognizes your graphics card
5. Use nraas Saver, or have multiple saves for each save, so like Save1-4, so you don’t keep saving over the same one
6. Never install houses as sims3packs, they usually include up to 600 pieces of CC! We recommend installing everything as .package
7. Run all your CC (except mods, poses, sliders) through s3rc to compress them
8. Use Reshade instead of an HQ mod
9. Do not play huge worlds
10. Use some of nraas mods to regulate how many strays, townies, other sims you have in your save. Don’t let the game randomly populate your world (I think Story Progression and Register do this)
11. Use Overwatch and Errortrap from nraas
12. Disable both shop mode and memories in your sims options, and do not play online
13. Don’t play your game for hours on end, reload after like 2-3h
14. If you have money, buy an SSD, the game loads faster ;)
15. Sort and test your CC
How do you sort your CC?
1. I convert everything to .package
2. I rename it to CAS_top_cu, or like Build_wal_ or Buy_pic so that later I know what it is, I also take out all weird signs people like to add like [ ] &% etc… (I use the ReNamer)
3. I open it in S3PE, if it is hair I check that it is for teen,adult,YA,Elder and all categories, for clothes I check to see if it is in the categories I want it, patterns I fix, clothes and skin i remove _IMG files that are incorrect
4. I run them through s3rc (unless it is a mod)
5. I put all my new stuff in a “test” folder in my mods folder and usually they stay there like 3 days, so I can see if they cause me issues
6. They are then imported into CC magic, where I have sub-folders for every category, aka Walls, Floors, HairAF …..
7. A copy of all my CC is placed in a “Backup” folder that also has sub-folders per category, so if someone sends a WCIF I can just go to the correct folder and look ;)
