A note, sometimes you may need to move the graphicsrules and .ini file to the desktop on Win10. I couldnt edit them until placed outside the folders as it error'd that I needed to 'contact the file owner to edit' Edit: thanks so much for this, was able to do all this in about 15min and my pc is so quiet now. I have a 2060 and it was running hot and loud as a jet engine, now it's nearly silent. 8)

[@KozyKubGam3r]

Good to know, I’m going to pin your comment in case someone else has this issue

[@aitaichou]

Thank you sooo much for this guide!! It's the only one that showed me step for step what to do so I could finally achieve every setting that got recommended! Other guides just told me what I need to do but not how to do it or what to pay attention to... so thanks to you I can finally play the sims 3!! Liked and subscribed for that hehe

[@KozyKubGam3r]

I'm so happy it helped! Hope you have a smooth gameplay as possible:)) ❤️

[@marsha_love]

I've watch and read so many guides and yours truly taught me how to optimize my game efficiently. Your video probably saced my pc from frying. Thank you so much!

[@KozyKubGam3r]

Glad I could help! :)

[@arespind]

Thank you! I had already followed other recommendations, but I modified some things along with what you show and it helped a even more. It bugs me how poorly optimized this game is, even after all these modifications, not having impeccable performance on the machine I use today is something surreal.

[@KozyKubGam3r]

I agree, I couldn’t even play and enjoy the game without it crashing some yrs ago so very grateful we have these fixes but frustrating that’s it’s still buggy also happy these fixes helped a little for you :)

[@viveka937]

Thank you so much! I love that this tutorial covers certain settings that are overlooked in other Sims 3 guides. Super clear and informative, you should have way more subs!!

[@KozyKubGam3r]

I appreciate that so much! Thank you as well! :) ❤️ made my day!

[@eizthetics2693]

​@@KozyKubGam3rThanks for this tutorial. I like that you were able to explain each field in the graphic cards settings. You mentioned in this video that your PC is mid-range. I hope u don't mind but may I know your computer's processor? My laptop's only Corei3, I don't know if that falls under the mid-range category.... thanks!

[@KozyKubGam3r]

hey, sorry for the late reply. A core i3 is more lower end range but can run sims 3. My processor is a ryzen 5 5600 but I recently upgraded from a intel i7 3rd gen. I most likely would of stayed with the i7 but for life by you, it's not good enough. For sims 3 and 4 if you're looking to upgrade, you wouldn't have to go for anything that's too much unless you like fast paced games too like COD or something

[@eizthetics2693]

@@KozyKubGam3r thank you so much!

[@amandayoung2557]

Amazing tutorial. Thank you so much for the time you put into making this video. We really appreciate it ❤

[@KozyKubGam3r]

You are so welcome! Glad it was helpful! :)

[@nikitaredcrest1]

Thanks, some stuff on this guide I haven't seen on others before cant wait to try it out !

[@KozyKubGam3r]

I hope it helps! I just went thru a nightmare of the save 12 error code and had to reset all my settings, somehow everything went back to default. I'm thinking a gpu update but no idea? good idea to check yr settings are still intact once in awhile is my unsolicited advice

[@nikitaredcrest1]

@leahzescape ah, ive never encountered error 12 before, but i have heard of gpu updates resetting settings. I have nvidia too, so i will be sure to check when it updates.

[@ianoliveri7483]

thank you so much this helped so much

[@KozyKubGam3r]

Happy it helped! :)

[@unamelable256]

Good video with simple overrides for performance. I have issue with Smooth Patch 1.2.1 where "when i drop .package mods" UI bugs out and makes existing saves unusable. Deleting it don't make this fatal error. Anyways thanks. now i can see full 165 FPS on my Sims 3

[@KozyKubGam3r]

Thank you! If you are running the game with steam or disk at 1.67 it’s my understanding that the smooth patch doesn’t work. Otherwise you would need version 2.1 but I’m not sure about it causing these kind of issues. Have you tried running the game at 60 fps?

[@hkarim16dz72]

thank you so much

[@KozyKubGam3r]

Welcome 😊

[@Idk34227]

Thank you but the smooth patch literally does nothing to my game and i already used 4gb patch

[@KozyKubGam3r]

Oh sorry, I’ve heard this with others with lower end pc’s with little RAM (4gb) and also if using an HDD. But if you’re on a mid range to better I’m not quite sure what factors play into why it wouldn’t make any difference at all

[@Idk34227]

@@KozyKubGam3r oh i'm using 8 gb of ram is this enough for low end laptop

[@KozyKubGam3r]

@@Idk34227 That's enough to run the game yes but depending on your graphic card (being a low end laptop I'm assuming it's integrated Intel?) and depending on how much space you have on your drive with some other variables to consider, then no the smooth patch won't make much of a difference if at all unfortunately. I would suggest getting a mid range gaming desktop if you can with at least 16gb ram for multi tasking and having a ssd drive specifically for gaming and a separate one for your operating system. It would also be good to have another drive for storage oc. Also with a dedicated gpu. Sims 3 is graphics intensive and can be massively slowed down by virtual RAM caching depending. But also limit CC if any and always check for bad cc. Sims 3 has so many different bugs and there's is so many variables to consider which makes seemingly small issues very hard to pin down and fix.

[@AndraDelia12]

Hi, I’ve recently changed my laptop, it has 13th generation cpu and an integrated GPU. My game crashes and instantly stopes after 10-20 minutes of playing. I have had this problem since I installed the game. I have tried the NRAS mode and Smooth patch, I have also downloaded the GPU Add On and modified what you suggested and it still crushes under 20 minutes of playing. Can you please help me ? I rlly love this game and I cant find a fix..

[@KozyKubGam3r]

hi Andra:) is yr processor an Intel 13 gen? If so you might need the Alder Lake patch if you haven't tried yet..Lazy Duchess made a fix. Just make sure to read the description through on how to install modthesims.info/d/667734/intel-alder-lake-patch.html Hope this helps!

Hi, when I go to edit the memoryusagelimit for RAM on notepad, it says access denied when I try to save it, what do I do?

You have to grant yourself permission. This article should fix it > www.alphr.com/folder-access-denied/

@@KozyKubGam3r thank you, I managed to do it like 5 mins after asking haha, I feel so silly

[@KozyKubGam3r]

Don't feel silly, I would of been asking the same thing and have in the past when I was stuck with the same thing. I had thought if you own the computer you automatically had full control of your files but I guess that would be too easy lol!
