@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)

elseif (match("${cardVendor}", "ATI"))
if (match("${cardName}", "*HD 29?0*") or match("${cardName}", "*HD 36?0*") or match("${cardName}", "*HD 38?0*") or match("${cardName}", "*HD 4??0*") or match ("${cardName}", "*RX 6600*") or match("${cardName}", "*HD 5??0*") or match("${cardName}", "*Radeon 5xxx*") or match("${cardName}", "*HD 6??0*") or match("${cardName}", "*HD 7??0*") or match("${cardName}", "*Processor*") or match("${cardName}", "*V77?0*") or match("${cardName}", "*V87?0*"))
seti cardLevel $cardLevelUber
seti isCardMatched true
so i actually asked chatgpt for help and it told me to add a new line that goes
or match ("${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.
- 2 years ago@puzzlezaddict its gets really laggy or freezy when i play bridgeport but other than that when i play moonlight falls it becomes pretty smooth then freezes out of nowhere. Ive tried to use smth like TSW3 for limit framerates and have tried to put a cap on the amount of FPS used, ive tried to make the sims 3 the highest priority, used NRAAS overwatch and errortrap which have helped the game run smoothly but it still crashes
