How to use Nraas Overwatch?
Hello! I want to make my Sims 3 Game run faster and I downloaded the Overwatch pack. How do I make sure this will operate in my game?

Overwatch is a script mod and is handled just like other mods. Specifically, you need to set up the mods framework in your TS3 game folder (in Documents), place Overwatch in Mods\Packages, and then delete the scriptCache.package from the game folder. Here's the Mod the Sims guide to installing mods, in case it helps:

The offered download includes two simple mods (NoIntro and NoBuildSparkles) so that you can confirm mods are working in your game. Or if you prefer, you can manually create the mods setup yourself and just add the resource.cfg file. Either way, you'll know that Overwatch has loaded into your save game when you click on City Hall and see "NRaas..." as one of the options in the pie menu.
Once installed, Overwatch will take care of business itself; you don't have to do anything. You can play with the settings if you like, but OW will do its normal cleanup without any prompting from the player.
If you're looking to clean up your game, you might want to install NRaas ErrorTrap too, and perhaps Register and Traffic. (And Traveler, if your sims travel and you'd prefer that your game not break during the transition.) Each of these mods helps in its own way, and they were built to work together. If you'd like to know more about these mods, you can read the relevant FAQ pages, or ask in NRaas Chatterbox.
