Sorry to sound like such an asshat noob, but that's what I am.
Ok, that's great. It's better than trying to help someone who erroneously thinks they have a clue. ;D In turn, please excuse me for soundling like an asshat geek.
You mentioned "I click on the FPS_Limiter_GUI file". That was the jar. jar equals java. The file name is FPS_Limiter_GUI.jar
Feel free to blame Microsoft Windows for hiding critical information by default. I mean it. Call up MS and tell them to suck it. It helps to manage stress and maintain patience for the task at hand.
There's still 2 ways to do this. Fix java. Or create the batch file yourself.
Ok, I hope I don't die, but Let's try #1. Fix java. I hate to tell people to install stuff, but this is good for you, because what is happening now is not "normal". When you double click FPS_Limiter_GUI.jar or any .jar filetype, something "significant" is supposed to happen. Long story short, java is generally a fairly important computer supplement that "should" be on "every home computer". Let's install Java. (I'm not a java pro though, ahem)
I assume this huge link won't work :)
Java SE Runtime Environment 6u14
If not:
go to http://java.sun.com/select "downloads", then select "Java SE"Takes us to a new page where you click "Download" for "Java SE Runtime Environment: JRE 6 Update 14". that's the second item on this page.
Install that, and then I believe you should be able to double click FPS_Limiter_GUI.jar and be on the same page as the rest of us.
EDIT:
Goddamit, I am a fucking twit. I didn't really read your whole post before auto-geek responding.
New answer:
No, it probably isn't worth your time to bother unless you want to learn. :-\

I'm ever grateful for the geeks of the world. They keep me from doing stupid things, and when I do stupid things anyway, they help me undo them.

Oh, I see.

Like it would do any good, on a par with complaining to EA about - well, about pretty much anything.

I do want to learn and I may try your advice at a later date, but if you don't think it's a priority at the moment I think I'll let it pass. I've got enough on my plate in RL right now, and anything that ain't broke can wait.
Many thanks anyway, I very much appreciate your time.

Thank you Interfection for you easy to follow instructions. I see now what I did wrong in the first place. I used the sims 3 launcher.exe as my path instead and I didn't use it to start the game. (would duh! fit in here?) Both you and Mccrea were very helpful and 'kind' in you answers.
A big batch of THANK YOUS again
Mccrea a big batch of THANK YOUS to you too. Both you and Interfection helped me tremendously. I am sorry it took me a while to respond back to your replys, The dratted game confuddled my computer and I had to restore to an earlier point before I could do anything else. I am almost tempted to can it until maxis figures out their problems and sends out a patch. Like that will ever happen LOL

OK i am officially confused and having a really bad blonde moment. I've read through almost this entire thread and my head now officially hurts. First step...I downloaded the FPS thing. I extracted it into a folder. When I double click the FPS_Limiter_GUI thing it gives me this error: "Cannot find main class. Program will exit." So then I started reading other posts and I have NO idea how to many this sucker work. I just want my game to stop crashing...someone please help...please ???
Skadi:
The easy way is to get the 3booter and fps plugin found here.
