I loved playing Sims 3 but it seemed like with every expansion pack the game got slower and more stuttery. I was playing with Awesomemod and NRaas' stuff, but I didn't think it would have that great of an effect. Sims 3 turned my beast of a computer into molasses. I quit playing after Pets, I think, because of it. Have their been any optimizations/improvements/something to make that better?

How many mods were you running and how many expansion packs did you have?

As an aside, which mod was it that turned off the intro and skipped alot of the fluff and consequently bloated crap that just slowed everything down in load times?

My favorite one I haven't seen listed so far is Retuned Attraction System. My sim was constantly getting bombarded with calls from guys asking her out on dates, to the point where her wedding was interrupted by one. Though it was nice to get 10+ free times in her mailbox almost every day, it was really annoying. Now I don't think I've been called for a date since, and still occasionally get free items. She's a Kleptomaniac anyway, so its not like I'm lacking in free items.

Do you, or anyone else know if this works side by side with nraas mods? I'm running a couple of them and would love to add this to the repertoire if I won't get any problems running it along with the nraas mods.

I'm jealous of you all and your fancy alien interactions. I have three space rocks of varying size and have yet to receive a visit from beyond. I heard some semi-mechanical alienish laughter but after panning my camera all around it was for naught.

I'm also loving that firefighting story with the random old lady and the mountain hobo raising a space baby.

So are workbenches supposed to catch on fire all the loving time? Cause every other time my tinkering sim uses the workbench to invent something she starts a fire. I had to install an emergency shower next to it so she doesn't burn to death.

I think you may be cursed. I had a guy that worked all the way up to 10 and beyond. Never a fire ever. Try buying a new bench?

Huh. I thought my Bonehilda was weird. Mine LOVES to hang out in front of the magic mirror and check herself out.

VVVV GUY BELOW ME

EDIT: Yes, spontaneous combustion is a thing, somehow. I'm not sure how frequent it is though but stay inside of public buildings if you can.

So upon getting a slightly less crap computer and seeing the sims will run on higher settings; can anyone toss me a link to a modded sunset valley that was custom made to fit all the expansions in a near perfect balance? I haven't read the OP yet since I stopped browsing the thread around page 15 or so, so I'll take a look at it afterward. Also, are any expansions packs worth getting that aren't horribly bugged or horrible in general? I got the good ones; Generations, Seasons, Supernatural, and Ambitions (as well as the night life one a kind goon gifted me, thanks again by the way buddy :shobon:) but are there any others I should keep an eye out for?

EDIT: Thank you kindly!

EDIT EDIT: Does anyone remember where on the NRAAs mods is the settings you can tweak to make it so celebrity stars can be harder or easier to gain, as well as paparazzi settings?

Is there any reason the Sims 3 launcher sits there sucking up 40% of my CPU? It doesn't seem like it does anything and once the game is running, I can close the launcher without affecting anything. Does it serve any purpose at all? :iiam:

This is kind of strange because I get this with my medieval 2 game. The launcher will forever be in my processes until I close it out. I assume you're running the sims off of steam?
