Tweak for stuttering
Hello, I just thought I'd share a little something I've discovered in regards to stuttering and simquality. I suspected it had to do with having to load LODS and texturesizes on the fly all the time...

sikasika18 I just tried this in my game, and it seems to help?
I don't really know if it's a placebo effect for now, but the camera movement stutter seems gone (or at least a lot less) now and the FPS seems a bit more 'stable' now instead of going from over 100 fps to like 40 when moving and zooming around causing the drop stutter.
Again, I don't know if it's just a placebo for now, but I will continue testing this.
Makes me wonder how it works. I noticed that with these settings, the trees and everything do not ''pop in'' anymore, but are always loaded already. May be the cause of the movement stutter? I don't know.
I will keep testing this a bit and will see if this really solves (most if not all) stutter completely from the game.
EDIT:
Also, the camera stutter when moving and zooming seems to be more when playing in an area with a lot of trees and plants (such as Cavaliers Cove in Brindleton Bay and also the new Sulani World with a lot of plants and trees in the areas.
Yes, the stuttering is caused by swaying trees. That's why places like Oasis Springs and Strangerville have almost no stutter or weird fps drops. If you go to the Secret Lab in Strangeville (which is a big lot), the fps is smooth and stable.
DeKay I know you posted this kind of a while ago sorry but I have a very good gaming laptop which far exceeds the required specs but have been getting awful and sustained FPS drops (like 10 FPS or lower). I keep having to go to manage worlds or settings to snap the game out of it and get the FPS up again.
To be honest this has been happening in all of my saves but currently I am playing on the 50 X 50 lot in Willow Creek (this is a new game - well, about two sim weeks in). I bulldozed the lot so there are no trees on the actual lot now but there are quite a few trees outside of the lot...
Could my FPS drops be being caused by trees around the lot, then?
I'm doing a legacy so I need to be on a 50 X 50 or a 64 X 64 lot. Do you know of any lots of that size which don't cause horrendous FPS drops?
Yes, it's cuz of the trees outside the lot in the neighborhood. I don't play the game so much now to know about the lot sizes but the best worlds with little fps drops are Oasis Springs and Strangeville.
