Hey Fleur, als ik de smoothpatch installeer, lukt het me niet om het spel op te starten. Ik speel al jaren DS3, maar ben nieuw in modding. Ik heb alle stappen doorlopen van Mod The Sims, maar nougabollen. Het lukt niet. Waaraan kan dit liggen? Hartelijk dank voor je hulp en veel succes gewenst met je kanaal.

Hi, I'm desperately trying to get the Smooth Patch to work and I hope you can help me. The patch is installed and the game loads faster but when I click on the map of the city, that makes a big zoom and I barely see the houses. When I try to change the angle of the camera, the game is extremely slow. Also, my household has litteraly $0 and my sims look really weird. I tried to fix the game with the EA app and to play without my CCs but it doesn't change anything. Please help :(

I have a question about the name in graphic rules. In deviceconfig this name is shown: Name (driver): AMD Radeon(TM) Vega 8 Graphics and i added in graphiccards.sgr under ati : card 0x15d8 "AMD Radeon Vega 8 Graphics" more specific info about my graphiccard AMD Ryzen 5 3500U with Radeon Vega Mobile Gfx 2.10 GHz so my question is...what do i have to type in the graphicrules? I don't have 2 or 3 digits in the name
@AlpaCakeGames2 жыл бұрын
I believe the AMD Ryzen 5 is your cpu, not your gpu (graphics card). Pretty sure that cpu is rated a 5 (uber). Concerning your driver, take a look at the gpu add-on that automatically writes you gpu code. The link is in a pinned comment. Hope this helps!

I think so yes. But if you want to be sure, use the gpu add-on module that a modder made. It auto generates the gpu line that you need. The link is in the pinned comment.
