TOOL: 3Booter, the Incooperative Game Kicker

That's a very good question. I'm glad you asked it.

Any other questions?

Bad jokes aside, I have no idea. Until this week, fps limiter and AwesomeMod updater just did their thing, spawned a couple of console windows, fetched updates if they needed them, and just...did their thing. I haven't changed anything except upgrading to Windows 10.

Maybe I should have followed my gut instinct and refused to do that. :/

I suspect that might be your answer. You DID know Windows 10 is avoidable, right?

But why does your game want to call Dropbox? That would keep me awake at night.

Old engineering proverb: "If it ain't broke, .........." fill in the blank.

Yeah, I feel kind of idiotic now, I'll admit. I had this impression that I might as well get the fucking update over with since it was inevitably going to be forced down my throat anyway. I guess I should have fought harder. Where was Witch's link two weeks ago!

Oh well.

Going to try to reinstall fps limiter and awesomemod updater from scratch, see what happens. I'm guessing either of them is hosted at dropbox and that's why it wants to call? Still makes no sense to ask for all sorts of verification and whatnot. It's hardly state secrets being transferred here.

Awesomemod updater no longer works. Manually download and insert.

Hi folks.
I want to use fpslimiter, but I don't like that it doesn't support -W option to launch Sims 3 in Windowed mode.  I don't play in Windowed mod, I just use it when game loads, so I can do other things instead of watching loading bar, when it's fully loaded, I just press alt+Enter to play the game. I read all topic and understand that tool doesn't support passing -w to the game, the only way to launch Sims 3 in Windowed mode is to set it in options in advance, but I don't want to uncheck full-screen every-time I quit Sims 3.

Maybe any other ways/hacks to achieve what I want?
