The Sims 3 Smooth Patch

Are you on 1.67 or 1.69? With 1.69 you have to restart everytime with TS3PatchLauncher.exe that is part of the zip file. At 500 TPS my buy mode pics spin really fast. Me? I'm on 1.67. I have now set it to TPS = 500. It's good enough. I have tried to set the delay to 0, 1000, 2000, 3000 and 5000, bu...

The Sims 3 Smooth Patch

Ok, now I set TPS = 0 I would be careful with that setting. Are you monitoring your CPU temps while doing this? Quote from the txt file of the mod (see bolded text below): "# TPS = Ticks per second - Speed of processing logic. # 0 = As fast as possible - High end computers? Might cause freezes and ...

It looks like mod doesn't start every time. Maybe setting a little delay will help? I have TPS = 1000 and use a bat script to clear caches after every exit, mod always works correctly.
I'll try that!

The Sims 3 Smooth Patch

Hey, the objects spun faster in the preview aven at TPS = 1000.

Then I quit the game and deleted the five cache files and started the game again, just to check, and now they spin slowly again.

So deleting the cache files is a bad idea if one wants this patch to work.

The Sims 3 Smooth Patch

Ok, now I set TPS = 0 and the objects spin around like crazy. :P So the patch works! Going in and out from Build/Buy and gameplay is a lot faster. And patterns load faster. Not so sure if the clothes load faster in CAS, though. Maybe a little? Can't tell.

The Sims 3 Smooth Patch

Cororon , Are the item previews in Build and Buy modes spinning more quickly than normal? That's probably the most objective way to tell: the spinning is enough faster than the default that you can't miss it. I set Debug to 1 and I get the message that the patch is loading. That's good. I set the T...

The Sims 3 Smooth Patch

Nah, both CAS and CASt load things just as slowly as before. :|

And my computer has good specs AMD 3700X, GTX 1060 6GB, 16GB RAM, and the game and all the CC on an SSD...

The Sims 3 Smooth Patch

The instructions says that that the mod should be put in the The Sims 3/Game/Bin folder, but isn't that the base game?

I use the Movie_Stuff\Game\Bin\TS3SP09.exe to start my game, and it has its own Game\Bin folder.

In which "Bin" folder should I put it?

German Person?

Persson is a common Swedish surname. Per's son, son of Per. Swedes who migrated to an English-speaking country have sometimes dropped one s, so Persson became Person and Andersson became Anderson.

German, like Germain, are valid first names, like Igazor says. :)
