Really Poor Sims 3 Performance, Seemingly Out of The Blue
I have been struggling with an issue for months now, and I have done literally everything within my ability to resolve it. I recently bought a new computer ($1800) that is more than qualified to run TS3. When I first started playing the game it ran perfectly with all EP's up to Island Paradise and 3 stuff packs. I had all my old saves from my old machine as well. For some reason a few weeks after playing one of my original saves the FPS started to become horrible. I have been able to play my sims ( a Married couple) who live on the lot where the wolff family lives in sunset valley without any poor FPS on that lot. Now I get 20-30 FPS and it's horrible. Many lots also exhibit this choppiness. I have taken my computer into memory express to be looked at twice, and each time they said there was absolutley nothing wrong with any of the hardware. I even had them reload windows 7 just incase but no luck. I even tried moving my families to a new sunset valley but the same bad FPS became apparent. Lowering the settings does not fix the low FPS either. I have removed all mods as well, deleted the cache files etc, and the problem persists. I did a factory reset as well, but as soon as I move families from my old save into a new save the poor preformance comes back. I am really unimpress how I basically wasted 1800 dollars on a computer just to be able to handle IP and ITF, which is my favorite EP so far, and I may not even be able to enjoy when it comes out because of this issue! My computer can run starcraft 2 on max settings, sims 3 should not be an issue. My GPU is a Nvidia GTX 660 Ti
