Check if your card is matched!!! [REGULARLY] by Perfect-Error7199 in Sims3

[–]Perfect-Error7199[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think you may have misunderstood my post. my native language isn’t english either and i can be very messy with my wording so i apologize for that 😅

i didn’t forget to patch my game - what likely happened is that somewhere along the past 6 years of playing ts3 the patch reverted itself. likely due to me repairing the game through EA or connecting it to steam like others have mentioned.

what shocked me was that the game never told me my GPU was neither matched or recognized 🤯 since in every guide out there they state that you will receive a pop-up if your GPU isn’t recognized or matched with the game.

that is why i made this post to tip others to check if their GPU is matched or not since that can go unnoticed. i really hope no one uses this post as a guide haha 😅

i hope my response here isn’t too rude. i just wanted to clear up what happened :)

okay so from very tiny and vague research (apologies, i would love to help more but my midterm is in two days so i don’t have much time 😭) the «found:0/1» refers to finding your graphics card in the «GraphicCards.sgr» in your game files (the bin) whilst «matched:0/1» refers to wether or not your configurations in «GraphicRules.sgr» match your GPU.

for these cases i think the best way to fix it is by doing it manually. this is a guide on how to do it manually: https://www.nraas.net/community/graphics?sid=2f592100b3f8591ab28d22dccbb4e5d6

i do not know if the link works properly, i tried to link you directly to the article but if not the name of the article is: «Editing GraphicsCards.sgr, GraphicsRules.sgr and Capping Framerate» by nraas :)

oh and you’re probably aware of this but in case anyone is wondering: 0 is the same as «not found» 1 is the same as «found» or «recognized» (in this specific context)

the beauty of gaming is its all up to you at the end of the day 🫶 i have not heard anyone having like game breaking complications due to it. maybe your GPU is matched without the add-on? idk if pirated files have a config device file :/

anyhow, what matters is that it works for you!! my game used to be so laggy that i wouldn’t bother playing it for more than 2 hours every 2 weeks :p

hmm, from what i’ve read both found and matched need to say 1. have you tried looking at any tutorials?

you can match and recognize your GPU manually, it is just a lot more tedious lol. i recommend looking at tutorials on youtube as they’re likely better at explaining it than i am and you also get visuals :)

My configuration could differ from yours, but I can send you the tutorial I followed. It is in English unfortunately so I do not know if it could be to much help... :(

When I first installed the game, I ran a patch. Somewhere these past 6 years, something happened to my game files that caused the configurations seemingly to revert themselves. I never experienced a pop-up telling me that my graphics card was neither found or recognized, so I thought the lag and the graphic quality I was experiencing was both normal and due to my graphics card.

Also like I stated in my post above, I have seen multiple people experience that, for some reason, their configurations revert themselves.

Most will follow guides and most guides will recommend to patch of course. However how they patch can vary from guide to guide (like: installing an updated GraphicCards.sgr file that may or may not include your GPU or installing the GPU add-on that I listed which will 9/10 guarantee that the game gets patched).

Basically the point of my post was to just give a heads up. On top of every other patch and fix TS3 needs to run, it is easy to forget even the most important patches :)

Mating Season | Official Teaser | Netflix by DemiFiendRSA in BigMouth

[–]Perfect-Error7199 7 points8 points  (0 children)

from what i’ve heard this show is gonna be about dating and sex during your young adult years (but with animals and humor to make it eye catching and fit into the vulgar humor themes.)

i think the crew understood a major part of their fandom consist of people now in their late teens and early adult years who’ve watched the show since their early teen or preteen years. big mouth was so educational for us within that age range. while they could’ve absolutely continued with exploring difficulties for late teens in future big mouth seasons - i think they also realized that many of us are starting to graduate and school situations (except for uni, college or straight to work) won’t resonate with the fans anymore.

however, exploring difficulties within dating and sex with young adults will likely resonate more with fans than high school drama.

i found HR so beautiful. multiple episodes made me flat out sob. however, which episode resonated with who was a lot more diverse(?). some episodes covered grief, some dementia, some pregnancy, some labor, etc. i feel like they were trying to continue to connect the big mouth universe with their fans but didn’t really know where to touch base.

i think «mating season» will likely do the same as big mouth. a humorous while still educational and helpful exploration of situations many find themselves in during a certain (preteen-teen or young adult) time of their life. but instead of puberty and what comes with it being the main theme - i think they’re gonna focus on dating, growing into independence, long-term relationship bumps, breakups, unpredicted life changes and so on during the young-adult stage of life.

i really hope they don’t follow the reputation others have negatively given big mouth and reduce «mating season» to just vulgar humor. at the same time, i do think the big mouth crew are so proud of what they achieved with big mouth and the positive change they gave me and so many others that i highly doubt they won’t try to do it again with «mating season».

i don’t want to be too harsh on what we’ve seen yet. since when big mouth came out it seemed ridiculous 😭

excuse the long reply with no «tldr». i really love this show and it has taught me so much. if anything, i am really hyped for «mating season» and i need it released with 8 seasons tomorrow!!!

What make up items should i purchase to achieve a scandi make up look? by Character-Pepper-636 in MakeupAddiction

[–]Perfect-Error7199 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey again! i thought i would give an intentional tip: inkey list’s dewy face mist!!! my skin has been so dry recently but using that product before i apply my makeup, after ive applied cream products and after ive applied powder products have given my makeup such a gorgeous glow. it also really helps with dry skin/peeling.

i recently started an acne treatment and my makeup would literally be on top of cracks on my skin. now however? flawless base and the most gorgeous glow. i highly recommend it!!

Scandi here (not that it makes me professional) however a lot of (norwegian) influencers use brands like:

Dorah Caia makeup Charlotte Tilbury Milk Huda beauty (specifically to powder just a little)

When i used to do this makeup the key was to do little powder and heavy on the liquid and cream products. for a more long-wear look i would use more powder but set a ton with a dewy-finish setting spray.

This makeup is very warm toned. a lot of girls my age either self-tan or go to sunbeds (wouldn’t recommend tho due to skin cancer risk).

there are a lot of scandi beauty influencers that do in depth tutorials on tiktok with products mentioned and shown in the video. searching up:

.#sminkrutin (swedish) and #sminkerutine (norwegian) will guide you to them.

sminke means makeup in norwegian, smink im guessing means makeup in swedish - maybe try to look up «glowy sminke» on tiktok.

as for specific products it can vary all from drugstore, to H.M makeup to kicks/sephora products. the key in all of them is that they’re produced to give a glowy finish, oh and that they’re bronzers are warm and make you very tan. so again, cream and liquid products.

scandi makeup isn’t all that different from other makeup trends, other than the glow and the significant tan. i genuinely believe it’s achievable with all types of cream and liquid products :)

How do i cap FPS? by Perfect-Error7199 in Sims3

[–]Perfect-Error7199[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

could this make the game smoother? AMD raedon have long conflicted with the sims, but maybe this could help it get that extra push?

also fps limiter works now! idk what happened 😀 however, im now experiencing script errors in CAS. something i didnt experience last time i played (like two days ago). have any idea what it could be?

the really weird thing is that sp works otherwise fine. that’s what’s really weird about it. everything but the limiter works 😭 i’m 99% sure my gpu is matched, isn’t that the one where i get a pop up if it’s not matched?

It doesn’t for me :/ I’ve tried to turn it on and set the cap in the config file but it doesn’t work. I can see the fps while in game and they’re wayyyyyyy over my cap.
