AMD card not getting recognised help please found 1 matched 0

@ImIncrediblyOlD  The Found: 1 means that your edit to GraphicsCards works fine.  The Matched: 0 means the edit to GraphicsRules either doesn't work or doesn't match what's in GraphicsCards.  Additionally, the edit to the texture memory section is incomplete: the OVERRIDE part shouldn't be there.

So please post screenshots of the edits you made to GraphicsRules, and I'll take a look.  Please post a screenshot of the edit to GraphicsCards as well since it needs to match what's in GraphicsRules.

I cant take screenshots so i instead copy and pasted the important bits otherwise i can try to add images from my phone if this isnt enough information)

so i actually asked chatgpt for help and it told me to add a new line that goes 

or match ("${cardName}", "*RX 6600*") 

to the ATI/AMD section and it works now (found 1 matched 1) but im not sure if i did it correctly the game runs smoother now but the game now freezes for five minutes after 10 minutes of gameplay and unfreezes for like three minutes and then freezes again //// 

@ImIncrediblyOlD  I don't know whether to be impressed or scared that ChatGPT got that one right.

For the performance issues, what world(s) are you playing in, and does the same thing happen in Sunset Valley?  Please test if you haven't already.

Please also let me know whether you've taken steps to limit your in-game framerates, and if not, whether you need help with the process.  Your GPU is fast enough to generate wildly high fps in Sims 3, which is unnecessary and can be harmful to the long-term health of the card.  It can also cause crashing, although it doesn't always.

@ImIncrediblyOlD  Please check your in-game framerates with the cheat fps on , which will put an fps counter in the upper-right corner of the screen.  Let me know whether the limit you've imposed is holding.

What other mods do you use, and do you use any custom content?  If you play with only NRaas mods and no cc, does the game still freeze?  Please test and let me know; you don't need to save your progress.

Please also run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.

so i tested it out, when the game freezes the fps stays on the number it freezes on but when the game unfreezes it reaches 1 fps and quickly rises back up to 59 - 60fps. 

the fps counter tells me its capping at 60 

I think using TSW actually makes my game freeze more since before i even used it the game would freeze but go back to normal but aftrer using it the game freezes and then keeps on freezing..

Also i reinstalled my game to see if that would fix anything and it actually forgot my GPU so i had to do all of that again but for some reason it deleted my whole mod file 

Im not sure what im really doing tbh but i tried to make the game use more ram by setting it to 8gb rather than 2gb on the sims.ini file 

What should i be doing? should i be trying to use more fps to lower the fps? 

@ImIncrediblyOlD  Your dxdiag shows a few generic Windows errors and a few others that could be related to the graphics driver.  So please start by running a couple of basic checks to your Windows system files:

• Hit Windows key-X
• Choose either “PowerShell (Administrator)” or “Windows Terminal (Administrator),” whichever option is offered
• Inside the window that appears, copy and paste “DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth” without quotes, and enter
• The system will start validating soon. If it throws an error, please list it here
• After it reaches 100%, hit Windows key-X again
• Again, choose “PowerShell (Administrator)” or “Windows Terminal (Administrator)”
• Inside the window, copy and paste “sfc /scannow” without quotes, and enter
• Post the message you receive here

Restart your computer, hit Windows key-i, select Update & Security, and click the box to check for updates.  If any install, restart again afterwards.

Next, please do a clean uninstall and reinstall of the graphics driver, as described here:

https://crinrict.com/blog/2019/02/clean-re-install-of-graphics-drivers-with-display-driver-uninstaller-ddu.html

You can get a fresh copy of the newest driver here:

https://www.amd.com/en/support/graphics/amd-radeon-6000-series/amd-radeon-6600-series/amd-radeon-rx-6600-xt

Restart your computer after installing the driver and before trying to play.

The edit to the .ini file is unnecessary and possibly harmful.  The value in that file is 20 GB, not 2 (count the zeroes), and it's not the usable RAM, it's the maximum size of the script heap.  The recommendation to change it is terrible information and should have disappeared years ago, but it's been repeated by people who have no idea what the value refers to but want to sound smart.  Sims 3 has been large-address aware, meaning it can use up to just shy of 4 GB RAM, since 2010.

Anyway, please revert the change, or repair the game to restore the default version.  If you do repair, your edits to the .sgr files will also revert, so make copies before repairing or reapply the edits afterwards.
