Sims 3 Screen Tearing
Recently, I got a new laptop with the a 1050Ti graphics card. The issue with my game is that I have screen tearing at the top of the screen. I have turned on V-Sync and clicked the option for on the N...

@igazor, hi. Would you be familiar with how to use MSI afterburner for screen tearing? I have tried most of the suggestions but the standard procedure and my laptop aren't getting along. :'( Do you suggest anything else for the screen tearing? It's not terrible screen tearing, just a small line across the screen that shows when I move my mouse just some. It's not distracting and for the half sim week that I played, it seemed that my game handled it well. I know that something can be done, but like puzzleaddict said, I also feel that it is something that I have to mess around in until it works for my laptop.
Sorry that this is late, I wasn't able to properly sit down and figure this out. I agree. I also think that this can be solved as well, and hope that my case isn't one of those where it can't be. I played a few hours the other night and without altering my options, it stayed running longer. I'm guessing that when I go into windowed mode and my fps are sky high that it's a possibility that it could be affecting ram? I'm not sure.
I will check this, so thank you for pointing this out.
I have an Nvidia card, so would I be able to use RivaTurner Statistics Server too? Or would MSI afterburner be a better selection? I do have an MSI laptop though I'm not sure if that matters. And if so for either one, how would I go about downloading those and using them for this situation? Again, thanks so much for you guys' help.
I kinda went back on my word. No cc worlds at all! The only worlds downloaded are most of the store-bought worlds and the worlds that come with expansions.
I have cut off a small portion of CC that I had from my much larger amount of CC that I had saved on Mediafire from my previous laptop. I also bought some stuff packs as well, but unless I should delete those cache files, I didn't think too much on either one.
So, just clothing, hairs, accessories, makeup and a small selection of mods from modthesims. I currently am playing in Starlight Shores and it's been running smooth so far. I have been getting a lot of errortraps regarding puppies and kittens in the neighborhood, but errortrap cleans it up and that small little lag that was there normally goes away.
So far, the only time that I have gotten crashes have been when I didn't have an eyelash mesh in CAS, when I *impatiently* clicked too many times during a little hiccup which happened while running at three/four-speed, bird level following my Sims taxi cab through the city, and when I altered from fullscreen to window mode back to fullscreen which is when my game is noticeably, but not terribly slower. It will take a while, but for that time I can tell my game is struggling which is when I soon know I'll get the crash. It's like an impending doom that I know will happen, but I just don't know when. :| >:)
The first one has been fixed and the second one I try not to push my game anymore like that, assuming the second issue also had something to do with quick loading lots as I drove by on top of everything. I do have the lot loading on number 3 although I can lower that to 2 if it means I can reduce that happening again. With the third one, I'll try windowless border gaming once more to see if I see that tear again. It's a real stubborn one!
I guess I was overestimating my computer with the game until I still got crashes. My game runs smooth so it feels like those crashes are avoidable, but I know that with even machines much more powerful, people's experience with the game varies. Though the better the machine, the less likely.
I will keep a better eye out this time. One thing I can say is that it's reminded me to save whenever I accomplish something with my Sim, and having the Saver mod is also a good reminder as well.
