@thekve If you're getting the "Error downloading content," please try this:
For the fullscreen issue, is the game running in windowed mode, or in fullscreen but with black bars covering part of the screen? If windowed mode, does clicking cmd-enter do anything? Please try it both at the Main Menu and in-game. If not, you can edit options.ini to enable or disable fullscreen. The file is in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 3, and you can change the fullscreen value (cmd-F to find it) to 0 or 1 as you like.
If you're seeing black bars but the game is technically running in fullscreen, please change the resolution to something higher than 1024x768. It may help to switch to windowed mode before changing resolutions. When playing in fullscreen, be sure to choose a resolution that matches the aspect ratio of your laptop's screen.
Hello!
Thanks for answering.
No it is running only in windowed mode, and I tried to go to settings to fix it but I did not find the "fullscreen" button.
I tried the cmd-F but did not work either...
Tried every resulotion there is...
@thekve Cmd-enter is the command to switch back and forth between fullscreen and windowed modes. Once in windowed—where you can actually see your desktop in the background, not just black bars—try changing the resolution.
Cmd-F is for finding the fullscreen value in options.ini, so you can edit it directly.
@martgeel You're already in fullscreen mode. Hit cmd-enter to switch to windowed mode, then change the in-game resolution to what you want, then cmd-enter again to change back to fullscreen mode.
A new update for the sims 3 64bit came today, so I finally now got to switch it to fullscreen mode.
But still;
My game freezes all the time.
And when traveling; the game kind of freezes completely...
@thekve Traveling has always been an issue. There are mod-related ways to (usually) fix the travel transition, and non-mod-related ways to try. Let me know if you'd like more information on either.
As for the rest of the freezing, is there any pattern to when it happens, like your sims are doing something in-game, you go to Map View, etc.?
