The Sims 3 Smooth Patch 1.0
Yeah, you read correctly, I said Sims 3 :)
This mod makes the game’s logic threads run faster, speeding up loading of Buy/Build and CASt, smoother UI elements, smoother CAS, fixes CAS music randomly stopping, among other things.
This mod should work on Steam, Retail and No-CD versions of the game. Not on Origin versions unfortunately as it blocks this kind of hack, so 1.69 won’t work.
Download: SFS / Dropbox
Simply unzip the file into your “The Sims 3/Game/Bin” folder.
You can configure the mod by editing the TS3Patch.txt file with notepad. I left comments in that file on how to set it up if you’re having any issues or if you think your computer is good enough to increase the speed even more (or decrease it if the default is too demanding)
The changes are most noticeable in CAS: Smoother body sliders, Sim rotation and quicker switching of clothes.
I’ve made an album with some GIFs showcasing the mod (Tumblr is not letting me embed Imgur so click on the link…):

@xiasimla made some very useful comparison videos as well:

An old tweet from thepancake1 made me give this a shot, as he hadn’t released any downloads or information on how to achieve it.
