i just wanted to post this to my main simblr because this mod is a GODSEND. i know have this renewed sense of excitement playing ts3, which i haven’t felt in a long time.
Yeah, you read correctly, I said Sims 3 :)
Disclaimer: This mod is not an all in one solution for lag; Essential improvements like NRaas mods, Graphics Rules and 4GB patching your game are still recommended, and your mileage may vary depending on your system. Some people don’t see much change, others see a huge improvement.
This mod makes the game’s logic threads run faster, speeding up loading of Buy/Build and CASt, smoother UI elements, smoother CAS. Can also speed up live mode and loading, it’s essentially a general improvement.
Simply unzip the file into your “The Sims 3/Game/Bin” folder.
For Origin, unzip the file into your “The Sims 3/Game/Bin” folder, and launch the game from “TS3PatchLauncher.exe” every time you want to play.
The launcher will attempt to boot as administrator if possible, to ensure the patch goes through.
You can configure the mod by editing the TS3Patch.txt file with notepad. I left comments in that file on how to set it up if you’re having any issues or if you think your computer is good enough to increase the speed. You can also increase the “Delay” value by around 1000-5000 if the patch is failing.
The changes are most noticeable in CAS: Smoother body sliders, Sim rotation and quicker switching of clothes.
I’ve made an album with some GIFs showcasing the mod (Tumblr is not letting me embed Imgur):
@xiasimla made some very useful comparison videos as well:
An old tweet from thepancake1 made me give this a shot, as he hadn’t released any downloads or information on how to achieve it.
i just spent 9 hours trying to find the perfect world to place my sims in.
i’m getting tired of my default tumblr icon.

I love it when I've slaved away for an hour on creating and molding a sim and body shop just decides it's going to crash at the most crucial moment when I'm LITERALLY ALMOST FUCKING DONE!!!
Just bought Planet Zoo and omfg I'm sooo bad at zoo management!
Would you guys fuck this sim if he was real?
uugGGGGHHH! instead of reducing the lag, i’ve somehow managed to make it worse. hOW is that possible?!?!
