Are you used to liquid cooled computers, and how often you should replace the distilled water in it? :) Or maybe it's a closed loop system?

Windows 11 with disc version of Sims 3

Hmmmm, wasn't it that Alienware PC they warned about at Gamers Nexus? Must look it up. Ok, so they call the R13 a "dumpsterfire", and the R10 "Hilariously bad". But the R12? Must find reviews for that one. This german guy is a computer expert, and he has reviewed the R12: https://www.youtube.com/wat...

What is the game doing when you quit?

What is the game doing when you quit?

How do I block that? I blocked connections by creating rules (inbound and outbound) in the windows firewall, as in this article . Also, don't forget to delete the FeaturedItems folder if you previously denied access to it, so that the game will create a new empty folder (if you disabled Internet ac...

What is the game doing when you quit?

Thanks for the interesting replies. :)

I have set the game to be offline. Does it still use the internet? How do I block that?

Sometimes I need to quit the game to add some CC or poses, and staring at the black screen steals minutes from my important life. :huh:

What is the game doing when you quit?

When you close the game, even without saving, it goes to a black screen and the cursor circle thing is rotating, and it can take a minute before the game really closes. What is the game doing? Is it writing to the cache or something?

My sim's fridge is empty after traveling

Before my sims travel I start a new save and travel from there, and go back to the old save when they have returned home. It feels safer that way. I remember what happened and have the screenshots, and that's the main thing. :) I started doing this after one of my saves got corrupted for some reason...

Ryzen 5600X

I have a Ryzen 3700X that performs about the same as the 5600X, and I've been thinking about getting a 5900X because it's faster at decompression, but I'm not sure exactly how much that would speed up loading of sims 3 saves. But the loading times halved when I went from my older AMD Phenom II 1100...

Ryzen 5600X

The 5600X is a great processor for Sims 3. I doubt you'd see any benefit from a higher-tier Ryzen CPU unless you ran some benchmarks or took out a stopwatch.
