One thing I forgot to mention is that I can't properly get my graphics card recognised as I need to edit my DeviceConfig file. Of course the DC file can only be edited when my Sims 3 game boots up, otherwise it's blank. I can't get past the launcher, so the file remains blank and un-editable.
I would prefer to have the card recognised even if the performance improvement is barely noticeable, but for now I'd just settle on it bloody working, lol
@lozzomatic You don't need to edit deviceconfig.log: it's just output, a report of how the game reads your hardware at the time of launch. You could edit it to say absolutely anything, or delete it outright, and it would still be recreated with the same info the next time the game loaded.
Please first make sure you can play at all (by using one of the workarounds I posted earlier) before editing the .sgr files, as the edits themselves occasionally cause problems. If the game opens, great, you can move on to getting the card recognized. Go into deviceconfig, copy the text between "Graphics device info" (about 25 lines down) and "Options" (about 40 lines down), and paste it here. That will tell me how to identify your graphics card in the game's database.
