Removed all the nraas mods, game is being weird.

Sorry about this being so long!

Limited game to 30fps.

(in a new) Game with Nraas is laggy on three times speed and time stutters, without (any) nraas game runs smoothly for the most part, and time doesn't stutter.

I have my own save that i'm in a second generation, I even moved out of my sims original town because it was SO laggy and crashed more often, moved into isla paradiso. It was laggy when I started out anyway, which was weird, I understand that isla paradiso is a mess on its own, but I remember starting a new save a while ago in isla paradiso and everything was smooth, even with nraas.
Before you ask me, yes i clean the caches, yes i clean my saves with regul save cleaner, yes i tried it without duchess launcher (and) simler90's mod.

The problem is, at first I tried removing nraas mods without removing the scriptCache.package first, and my sim portraits didn't show up at the left, my sims just stood still, i could do nothing except advance the time.

So i quit the game, deleted scriptCache.package, added nraas mods in, loaded in my game, (my game keeps crashing within 5 minutes of playing recently). script cache didn't generate.

I tried loading in a new game in sunset valley, with/without nraas, still scriptCache.package didn't generate.

It's sad to see how much nraas makes my game crash, stutter and lag. I really love nraas, any help?

[Oh and yes, i did apply every single thing from this tutorial here; https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/ ... 1131162350

ScriptCache not generating is the largest red flag to me- possibly aggravated by OneDrive or the folders being on different drives, because it should 100% appear even if you just got to the main menu and quit. It's either generating in another user folder you don't know about, or there is something critically wrong. The game would understandably get scrambled if it was blocked from read/writing these files.

You may want to move this The Sims 3 folder somewhere else entirely and let the game generate a new one for now, and see if it generates in the appropriate place with the required files inside. Saves and such from the old folder can be moved back after everything is working again.

A lot of the guides out there are full of misinformation and usually end up with users washing up here with their game all kinds of inside-out, I would seriously suggest removing all such changes (Verify Integrity of Game Files through Steam, or Repair Game through EA App- for disc installs, without backups a reinstall is required) until the game is functioning as expected with and without mods.
They don't even use the Override folder correctly in that guide, it really doesn't endear me to whatever other 'expertise' is being shared there.

Then clear all cache files and start a new game with only NRaas mods in play. This includes not using any plugins like Smooth Patch yet, either. Provide any ScriptError logs that ErrorTrap generates after this point, if you are still encountering issues. But if not, the culprit was other mods or changes made to the game.
Simler90's Core Mod is incompatible with NRaas and should not be introduced for any tests- it is unsupportable.
