Then when I tell them that I don't have issues with 3, I get called a liar. Yes, I actually get called a liar, lmao.
And it's like.. I'm sorry you can't use Google to find some basic fixes to run 3.. But that doesn't make 4 better. It just means you're lazy.
Yes, I've seen this happen to other people too. Even around here. It's like people simply refuse to believe that you can get TS3 running in a decent fashion. It's as if they just want to believe that it runs like garbage for everyone all the time, and wont be deterred from that line of thinking.
Also, the rest of your post is what I was trying to illustrate in part of mine. Someone who took the time to go and learn and figure out how to make the game run, instead of discarding it into the "too hard" basket. That's awesome :)
@Pary, @Jemkatk, I think that we hardcore simmers (most of the ones who make up the group here in the Sims 3 forums), will do whatever it takes to keep OUR game running. Every time I've had a lag or something go wrong in my game, I do take the time to go "figure it out"...but everyone has a different personality and some are more impatient with frustrations than others. I guess, it's just "Different strokes for different folks". ;)
Oh, I'd love to get off this APU and add on a GTX 1070 or whatever awesome hardware is down the pipeline and maybe even add 16GB or even 32GB of RAM or so (not that TS3 can use it anyways, but still, at least then I'd be able to run some of the more resource-critical software alongside it like a decent video-capture program and I can use it in my RL photography/video editing (doing it professionally) down the line. But there are other things that have to be done, but I'll do whatever I can to keep my game running in the meantime and so far, my desktop (thank god, I'm off that laptop) is doing just fine.
