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 as we move the camera so I edited the graphicsrules and removed all the LOD levels so it always shows the highest one at all times. I did this for all objects too so no pop ins whatsoever and also better performance whereas before I had stuttering at all times.
I can't believe this myself but it took away all the stuttering in my game and now I have beyond ultra settings.

I changed some line into these:

prop $ConfigGroup NormalMapDistanceDropScale -0.0

prop $ConfigGroup ObjectLODBias "0.0"

prop $ConfigGroup RenderSimLODDistances "1000, 1000, 1000, 1000"

prop $ConfigGroup RenderSimTextureSizes "2048, 2048, 2048, 2048"


This has removed all my camera stutter!
I suspected there was something messed up with the LOD system in the engine and I was right. No more stutter! After 4 years I can finally play the game without stutter galore.

Try this and report back.

  • When I clicked on this thread, I thought it was going to be about verbal stuttering---I'm disappointed, because I want stuttering Sims in my game lol

    It is a fix for the stuttering and lag issues incase anybody is wondering. I have put it in my game a few days ago and my game performance has been greatly improved. I don't know if it will work for everybody but it's getting a lot of praise and recognition over on twitter.

    I just came across that last night myself and will try it later today once I'm off work. I don't really have "lag" or stuttering besides simulation lag, like when they pause when opening the fridge but I'm always up for anything to improve how the game runs.
  • Thank you so much. I've been looking for a fix for the past year. Finally came across this and it instantly solves my problem of stuttering and drop to 10fps. Now everything is so smooth and and the max fps!!! XD tyty
