A bit of a show and tell if you don’t know what/how to edit the .txt file for the TS3 Smooth Patch 1.0.
Shout out and kudos to @lazyduchess for such a brilliant mod!!! TYSM!
Download the file from the above link and open the zip with 7zip. (my preferred choice)
Place these 3 files wherever you have “The Sims 3/Game/Bin” installed.
Special note!!! This will not work if you use Origin patched version 1.69 of the game. Origin prevents .dll files from being used from outside sources.
If you want to edit the TPS value, open the TS3Patch.txt with Notepad.
The mod is set at TPS = 500. If you need to increase or decrease the value, just plug in your number 60, 200, 250, 500, 1000. Save and run your game.
And that’s it. You need to test the values and pick a number that is good for your hardware. I have an i7-4930K (from 2013) and use 1000 TPS.
They are discussing the performance of the mod over at MTS in the discussion forum - https://modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=658607. Nitromon makes some good pros and cons for how to choose which value for the hardware you have.
And lastly, I have not tested this with the Turbo Travel Mod. But the performance feels about the same when I was running the Smooth Patch. They work completely different to improve game performance. You could technically use them together. But I don’t think you would see a vast improvement above what you already can achieve with just the single mod. It would just increase your CPU temps. That is the only thing you have to keep in mind with using the mod. For me it’s a major plus over the Turbo Travel Mod because when making CC I don’t have to switch game program files. TSRW/s3oc doesn’t recognize the compressed Delta and Fullbuild files. Now I don’t have to have 2 EA folders hogging space I can just have 1 with this mod. It’s a win win!
Now taking submissions to join this year’s July Break Bingo!
Dead giveaway in the title, not even trying to bury the lead, this is a bingo that takes place from July 1st all the way up until July 31st, spanning all fandoms, with a broad range of prompts that are customizable during the request process.
There are three different kinds of bingo cards you can request and you can request one of each:
a 5x5 card (with 5 alternates),
a 3x3 card,
and a flash bingo card that only has 5 squares.
Each prompt is completely open to interpretation and if you get a card you’re not happy with, I’m allowing one re-roll per person, per card.
You can opt out of NSFW and various other options (including the FREE spot in the middle, if you just want all of them to be prompts), giving you a lot more control over what kind of card you can get.
Sign ups will remain open until July 13th and cards will be sent out in order of requests received. I’m not anticipating there to be any kind of delay, since this is a new bingo challenge and not many people will know about it to begin with, so let me know if you have a problem with your card when you do get it.
The rules are here and there’s a full FAQ over here.
Submissions are still open for the Pre-July Break Bingo Event and will remain open until June 13th, and that form is over here.
For completion and to receive your reward for the pre-event, that form is over here. Completion forms need to be submitted by the end of night on June 30th for the pre-event.
If you have any further questions not mentioned in the FAQ or on the rule page, please feel free to send an ask here or on the Discord.
Officially have one day off… wow, that’s so rare. And I spent this morning with my boyfriend, and now I’m at home. It’s snowing but I’m not going anywhere, and now I draw, relax, and be in my own little world
I just realized that with a wedding comes wedding vows and these two fuckers have been saying the softest shit to each other for no reason since day 1. In conclusion: we gon die.
The draft program for our upcoming Symposium on the Mysteries of Mesperyian is now available at this link. We look forward to seeing you all next Sunday.
the farther I fall, I’m beside you (a drarry murder boyfriends one-shot)
Draco stopped questioning those kisses years ago.
Stopped asking himself what he did to deserve them.
Stopped asking himself if he was a truly good person, or a truly bad one.
Stopped looking for either of those things in Harry too, and accepted the undeniable truth that both of them are neither.

What happens when you accidentally kill your friend during a birthday prank gone wrong? You ask your Master of Death boyfriend for help, of course.
