Line 11:
 
==3booter + FPS Limiter==
[[J. M. Pescado]] at [[More Awesome Than You]] has created a useful tool called '''''3booter''''' which helps the game to start up and works perfectly together with '''''FPS Limiter'''''.''
 
Both these tools have to be placed in the game's folder (<tt>C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin</tt>) and can be downloaded at ''[http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php?topic=15585.0 MATY]''.
Line 19:
 
==Delete files in ''DCBackup''==
Go to <tt>Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3</tt> and open the <tt>DCBackup</tt> folder. There should be a file there called <tt>ccmerged.package</tt>: '''keep it(!)''' and delete anything other file that may be in that folder.
 
==Delete cache files==
In order to prevent errors, it's highly advised to delete the cache files in <tt>Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3</tt>, which are:
<tt>
*CasPartCache.package▼
*compositorCache.package▼
*scriptCache.package▼
*simCompositorCache.package▼
*socialCache.package ▼
</tt>
 
▲*<tt>CasPartCache.package </tt>
The game will regenerate these each time it loads up so the player should always delete these files before playing. ▼
▲*<tt>compositorCache.package </tt>
▲*<tt>scriptCache.package </tt>
▲*<tt>simCompositorCache.package </tt>
▲*<tt>socialCache.package </tt>
 
 
 
▲The game will regenerate these each time it loads up so the player should always delete these files before playing.

Line 42 ⟶ 43:
 
Go to <tt>C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin</tt>, right-click on <tt>GraphicsRules.sgr</tt> and open it with Notepad. There should be four lines that look like this:
<blockquote>seti cpuLevelUber 4▼
 
▲<blockquote>seti cpuLevelUber 4
seti cpuLevelHigh 3▼
 
seti cpuLevelMedium 2▼
 
▲seti cpuLevelHigh 3
seti cpuLevelLow 1</blockquote>▼
 
▲seti cpuLevelMedium 2
 
▲seti cpuLevelLow 1</blockquote>
</blockquote>
 
Change them to:
<blockquote>seti cpuLevelUber 4▼
 
▲<blockquote>seti cpuLevelUber 4
seti cpuLevelHigh '''3'''▼
 
 
▲seti cpuLevelHigh '''3'''
 
seti cpuLevelMedium '''3'''
 
seti cpuLevelLow '''3'''</blockquote>
</blockquote>
 
==Combine your package files==
