Thank you for this video. It's actually not easy to find short, informative videos about mods that you ACTUALLY need when starting to mod the game. There is just too many "10 MUST!!!!! HAVE MODS for Sims 3 2024" videos, and then it's "Customizable picture frames" and " High res wine glasses". Like, dude. I need mods that make the game run on my PC before I worry about some damn wine glasses. Thank you for your service here, this is a great video to start off with mods.
Omg I didn't know that you had to start the game using the smooth patch launcher... I thought the mod simply didn't work for me... until yt recommended me your video. Small channels rise up!
Been getting into the Sims 3 modding scene after wanting to play the Sims, but getting frustrated by so many different mods in the Sims modding scene. This video though is a great help in at least getting the whole thing streamlined. Thank you!
Thanks... I've been trying to get my Sims 3 to work on my new laptop for ages as a new sims player. I thought it was something to do with the university expansion pack but now i see all i need is the smooth patch
I don't usually comment on videos but I had to thank you for this list. I've been looking for good mods and haven't been able to find any. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this! I just downloaded ts3 for the first time and I needed some mods! Can you please make a tutorial on how to install the mods? Im still having trouble. Thanks 😊
I’m pretty sure lazyduchesses has a mod to update the sims 3 launcher so you can play with the smoothness patch through the wa app if you sue that. I just wanted to bring it up bc I personally would rather install that mod then have to launch from the patch shortcut every time
thank you so much!! just bought a pc yesterday and started downloading everything. it seems the smooth patch has been updated and its installed differently, can you please do a tutorial?
There can be issues but simler90's mods make fixes in the EA's code, while NRAAS mods run scripts instead, thus at least most of them are technically compatible, however over on NRAAS forums they offer no support if you report any bugs while using both mods. I've had both installed for years, so here is what I got: NRAAS Overwatch specifically does similar stuff to the simler90's mod and they both run at 3 am, which is fixable by setting the alarm hour in Overwatch to 5 am. I've had problems with this combination of mods killing my vampire sim's skill gain bonus, too, so I set "Clean up Skill Modifiers" in Overwatch to "False" also. Otherwise I play with Consigner, DebugEnabler, Dreamer, ErrorTrap, Hybrid, MasterController (plus the Cheats module), OnceRead (plus the Tablet module), Overwatch, Register, Relativity, Saver, SecondImage, Tempest and Traffic with no issues. I skip Traveler as it fixes the same bugs, unless you want your sims to have a vacation in a custom world, and Story Progression just makes my game lag too much while bloating my savefile, I also don't really enjoy the flavor texts that it comes with tbh, simler90's mods fix EA's story progression to a satisfying level imo. I have also found that @mookymilkplays here on RUclips tested these mods for compatibility in her "Mod Review: Simler90" series and she has tested Traveler extensively and it worked fine for her. edit: grammar
00:35 I appreciate the list but that's simply not true: that mod, as it says in the name, is only for people who have that specific generation of processors launched back in 2021. If yours is from a different generation, you can absolutely launch the game, no need to download it.
is there a mod that turns down the volume of the computer games? i hate how loud it always is, and you can’t change the volume like you can with the TV.
Some of the links are wrong, i was able to look at them , but i think the sims space is wrong and the woohoo one which ii dont care for but seems to be mislabeled with this one
Hola, una duda si tengo el juego pirata versión 1.67 y tengo el smootpath 2.1 de lazy duuches, puedo usar también el lanzador o ese lanzador solo es la version 1.29 origin ??o juego oricinal?
Smooth patch has afew problems associated with it in relation to conflicts. It's given me lots of problems lately and unfortunately I never found that it sped my game up much. Ive also found that error trap and overwatch dont work for me. Every time i boot up they just gove me some random script error and I amhave no idea what it is or if anything was foxed or still broken. Zi just ignore it. This isnt on you, I'm just bummed I never got the amazing use out of some of these mods that everyone else has. My game is unbearable to play.
I followed a Steam guide for Sims 3 performance/bug fixes and it said "Installing the ""ld_SmoothPatch.package"" file is optional as sometimes you may encounter bugs using it with Nraas Master Controller CAS or mods that make changes to CAS. The .asi and .dll part of the mod is 100% fine to use!" so I did not add that package and have not found any conflicts so far.
if the patch was installed correctly, you should have an application called “TS3 Patch Launcher” in your sims 3 Bin folder. That’s the launcher you have to run, make sure you run the application and not the other file

literally me too omfg 🥲
That's not entirely true. You need the patch launcher if you play on Origin, if you play on Steam you don't need it.
Me neither
@MichZoll what i ahve steam
regul save cleaner, lazy duchess mods and nraas keep this game running smooth.

These actually have some mods I hadn't even heard of!
I really enjoy your videos ! Sweetsimmer will release this month a new mod for romances ! So exiting
thank you!! im looking forward to the new mod 👀
it’s not 2025 doe
They actually time travelled ahead to check if there are better mods coming out later and that they wouldn't need to re-record the video
He literally said GOIN INTO 2025
Not with that attitude
Yeah, it is
It is 2025 tho
I forgot about regul save that is such a good mod great video
thanks!
Definitely try boring bones mods! He does great mods to make the world feel more lively :)
i’ll look into it! never heard of it 👍
I cant believe its already 2025 soon

Be aware that the Gameplay Core Mod has compatibility issues with some of the NRAAS modules, so you'll need to remove them.
You know Wich are non compatible?
I heard that someone made a mod that removes this conflict

very interesting - i thought it was needed for every modern computer
10:54 what skin overlay do you use on this guy?
is there a mod that turns down the volume of the computer games? i hate how loud it always is, and you can’t change the volume like you can with the TV.
I'm learning a lot from your video's. I have a H.p. windows 10 its old would this hold the Sims game

Nraas mods aren't working for me..
I wish we had all these mods for sims 4 as well. Sims 4 is so unplayable
How do you get your simler90s mod to work with nraas?
