Sims 3 Reshade Help (Intel 12th-gen)

I just got a new laptop that is tricked out. Dell G15 5521 Special Edition. It has the dreaded 12th generation i7 14 core processor that is known to need special workarounds to get the sims 3 to even play. To get the game to play I had to install a script and run it on powershell. That's the only way the game will open.

 

I also have NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Laptop GPU.

 

I cannot for the life of me get reshade to work. Every time I install it, it crashes my game to desktop. I’ve tried installing the newest version of reshade (5.1.0) and a modified version (4.9.0). I tried installing it using direct x 9, direct x 10/11, and open GL but nothing is working.

 

I also have the smooth patch and LazyDuchess launcher.

 

I found some forums from a while ago that said there was a problem with reshade on NVIDIA laptops.

 

Can anyone help me?

 

EDIT: I have Windows 11 and I looked in event viewer and this comes up: Faulting module path: C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\D3D12Core.dll

    @p2ahwjafk3rf Check to see if your computer video driver is set to use the Nvidia chip when TS3 starts. I believe you have an Alder Lake Intel cpu. There were issues with game and Alder Lake cpus although the issues are supposed to be fixed. Make sure your computer's Windows 11 is up to date.

    @roberta591 Thank you for replying. My windows is up to date and in the NVIDA control panel it says: The preferred graphics processor for this program (TS3.exe) is the NVIDIA processor. Instead of the integrated graphics card.

    @p2ahwjafk3rf Check to see if .net framework is enabled in - control panel, programs and features, turnn Windows features on or off. If it's notenabled - check it to enable, click ok. Let it install and when finished reboot computer - try game. The TS3 launcher requires .net framework to run.
