The dreaded sims 3 V-Sync not working issue

TS3w.exe (with the "w") is for Patch 1.67 and below. Your game wouldn't be using it, so it doesn't really matter how things are set for it.

Above the choices shown for the Nvidia Control Panel, is there an option for maximum frame rate that can be set explicitly to 60? The newest Nvidia drivers should include this as a feature now, but you may need to update your drivers in order to have it. I don't know if a 1050M is considered new enough to have received this feature.

If that feature is not going to appear, the procedure to acquire it would be to install Nvidia Inspector, which includes a range of graphics card options that the Control Panel lacks.

Thank you. I've a driver update waiting at the moment actually so I'll run that and see whether those options come up, otherwise I'll look at the inspector. :)

Will give this a go first.


ETA:

Okay now I know why it's called GeForce 'Experience' - The experience is it doesn't work and driver updates just fail. Went the manual route (was trying to follow this guide but the way Nvidia have their drivers now that doesn't seem to work. It installed fine via the .exe though (and now I no longer have experience installed cos I opted for just the drivers which got rid of experience) so the link for where to get the drivers from is still relevant.

Finally found the max frame rate option after initially thinking it wasn't there.

Anyway I now have Sims 3 capped at 60fps. Thanks so much @igazor .

Sorry that was such a journey, it is for some more than others, but glad you have that fps capped now! :)
