Sorry about the hiatus, I’ve mainly been playing WoW and I don’t stop to take many screenshots, so not much to share on here.  I’ll try harder though. 

After I’m done checking on my extra Sims County families (who in the background has aged up, who needs a mate etc.) I have a few ideas for my main families I’d like to get back to work on (not to mention figure out what I want to try in Sims 3).  All in all I will be a little lax with my posting schedule for a while.

– I honest to god don’t understand why, but I have this obsession with Casper Van Dien movies.  I’m slowly trying to find all of them; I can only watch each one once, and I have to take breaks in between watching them or my brain starts to melt, but I luvs them.   (•◡•) /

– From what I understand* you can have a top of the line card, but if your game tells you ‘hey I don’t recognize this’ it will assume that the card is on the low end and flag its defaults to the low-card settings.  So while you can turn things up and you’re card can handle it, the game doesn’t think so and you get discrepancies in your game play. 

The edits I made to my files were a little confusing but now that it’s done I’m not getting any more warnings on load up, and my game is actually rendering the way I expect it to with all bars set to the top. 

If you can follow along with this [ http://simswiki.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:Getting_new_graphics_cards_recognized_by_the_game ] give it a try and see if it helps. 

Also keep in mind lag can be from bloaty saves etc.  You may want to ask @ashuriphoenix because I’m still learning this stuff myself, and she’s a ts3 wizard =P

ashuriphoenix said: “No, SAVE Cleaner.  It’s separate.” 

– That’s what I meant, sorry (I was looking at a few different pages).  But thank you for the link to V1.  V2 gets rid of the WA pictures, like your last big clean did, right?  (And tends to give some people issues it looks like.) 

ashuriphoenix said: “DON’T forget to save her to bin before you exit!  …  (And you may end up in the habit, if you edit for long periods, to periodically save to bin and delete the doppelgangers from SavedSims folder later.)” 

– Okay, I’ll try to remember that.  You mentioned cleaning saves after CAS bloat, would that be via NRaas Cleaner?

ashuriphoenix said: “And the peasants rejoice!  😀  I’m glad you were able to at least see the damn sims in the game.” 

– I can!  And I gave her a snazzy new haircut to celebrate.  How do you go back and edit a finished sim in CAS?  I think I need to edit her jaw, or widen her head or something…
