A few very lightweight games might not drain the battery that much, but Sims games certainly will, and the laptop will throttle performance to try to keep energy use down as much as possible. So you'll get much better performance with the laptop plugged in.
I am in the process of changing the graphic settings and am having trouble finding TS3W.ese, where would I locate it?
@sativsim If you have an Origin install, you don't need to bother; the game uses TS3.exe without the W.
If you have a disc install, the default location is usually this:
Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin
For Steam, the default location is this:
Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\The Sims 3\Game\Bin
You'll notice that in either case, the last part of the file path is the same.
