On the Nvidia Control Panel that comes with your GPU, set up a profile for Sims 3. The executable would be TS3.exe (for Patch 1.69/Origin controlled games) or TS3w.exe (with the "w" for 1.67/Steam, retail disc/everyone else). Set Vertical Sync and Triple Buffering to On, which will help but only in full screen mode. The more recent Nvidia drivers now also include a Max Frame Rate setting, set that to no higher than the refresh rate of your monitor. Most are 60 Hz, so that means 60 fps, some monitors can run higher (75, 144, etc.).

That becomes the goal for fps capping as any frame rates thrown that are higher than that are digital noise that your monitor cannot interpret.

As you play and move the game camera around, the tiny displayed frame rates will fluctuate but should lock in at no higher than the refresh rate of your monitor. To make the display go away, cheats console again and type fps off (enter).
