SIms 3 ultra freeze
Hi my sims 3 works fine with mods and cc, but now that ive been making a sims series, I need nraas mastercontroller since it is a scifi and has many animations. But the thing is my sims cant run nraa...
@glitterglich Is your computer a pc or mac? If your computer is a pc please post your computer's dxdiag - thank you
Hi, my family is still doing the ultra freeze thing where it lags but the world keeps moving at whatever speed its on (trees, water, birds etc) but now another family of mine crashes right before loading the town. Not sure if this is related to nraas or not but its definitely a problem because now 2 games arent working heres my dxdiag.
@glitterglich First thing I notice is your system drive only has 11.3Gb free space out of 160Gb. This is NOT enough free space to run the windows operating system. I don't know why ASUS partitions the system drive (c) like this. More then likely this is your primary lag cause. At this point temp files used by apps and the operating system are probably fragmented and causing delays in reads and writes. Your integrated video chip is also using your system memory and that could really affect performance especially if free memory is low. If you are a casual Windows user you need to increase the system drive (volume). The video chip is not in the game database and may not be configured for the game correctly causing additional issues of performance. As the AMD A series really doesn't have dedicated video memory (it reserves an area of main memory which is DDR3) and some other engineering of the A series processor I would not recommend an A series AMD video chip for 3d gaming. It just does not perform like a dedicated video chip with its own memory.
If your computer is a desktop it MAY have a mirco atx motherboard and I see a video card slot. It really really needs a video card (recommend mid range card) installed. It will help the video but won't fix the storage. Depending on the card you select you may need to upgrade the power supply at the same time.
Thank you so much for analyzing this. After i clean out my C drive some of the lag will be fixed but the AMD driver is all that I have so how do i register it with the sims, do you know what steps I have to perform to fix the issues you brought up?
