Is this as good as it gets more or less?

So this is a performance question:
I have the game installed on an SSD that does about 500ish MB/s, I have my system files and sims document folder on an NVME drive thats about 3500MB/s. I have an amd 3700x CPU, and a Radeon 5700 XT video card. Also not that it matters but I have 64gb of 3600mhz ram.
I set vsync to on on my video card to limit FPS so its not like 3606 FPS lol.
I have pretty much all the NRAAS mods and a few others to make things run smoothly.

I mean, it runs ok, but it still takes minutes to load a save, and still has a stutter or hiccup sometimes. Is this because its 32 bit? Any other game I have runs good and loads faster, even big open world games. Oh, I take that back, I have one game that ironicly takes longer to load and has even lower system specs, Rimworld. :s

Would doing something crazy like installing Mac OS on bootcamp to run the game in 64 bit make it better at all? I love this game but I play it less and less because between games loading faster and looking better all the time, Sims 3 has a hard time competing with my ADHD just to get into the game. :D

  • best advice i ever got was to play on smaller worlds with less in them but use nraas traveller more to have interconnected destinations for your sim to enjoy everything
