I have an extremely high end system, and with everything maxed and getting a solid 60fps, I can see a noticeable difference in the CAS and main game. They look better in CAS, I do not however think it is lighting, I would rather say its how they set their rendering engine up.

Honestly why would you trust people to make a patch from 615 to 631? It just incomprehensible how many issue you will eventually run into. You should when you get the chance just get the Razor1911 release.

Sims 3 s a big game, as such it will be a resource hog, Sims 2 was as well. As stated this version will not be any different then the Razor 1911 release, they are the same thing.


Read above.

The Razor1911 one is retail, the Games version is 1.0.631 The region is the last part 00002 is International. 00001 is North America. Now can we please stop having confusion? The Reloaded copy was thought to be retail but was found not to be, it was possibly the one from February. Regardless the Razor1911 one is legit and is RETAIL!

Vsync being off helps it go at a higher framerate then the monitor's set refresh rate. Most people are not able to hit 60fps in the Sims 3 so Vsync has little to no effect. Those that are able to hit it several are having overheating issues. Limiting the framerate to 30 is still playable(Its under 30 that is sluggish) it can help lower temps. So you are both right to some extent. Turning Vsync off is great if you have no issues or on game with too fast frames(not common).

To refer to Sims 3 turning it off and limiting the frames contradicts each other. So either using a framelimiter with or without Vsync it won't matter the new limit will be with what you set in the limiter. Vsync is a fpslimiter as is, but to the refresh rate of your monitor, however seeing that is too high and causes high temps with tons of people the need to lower that further using this program can help.
