TOOL: 3Booter, the Incooperative Game Kicker
Lum:
I've had a ATI Radeon 3850 installed last week. Is my video card good enough to be in the danger zone?
(Man, crap like this is why I'm sticking to Sims 2 til the bitter end.)
J. M. Pescado:
Well, a 3850 is probably better than my old 1950, so yeah, you're probably well into the danger zone.

I think this probably happens in TS2, too, except that TS2 is CPU-bounded and therefore will crap your CPU out before it can crap your graphics card out. CPUs, however, are generally given better heat dissipation than graphics cards.

Try the new version that just went up a few hours ago. I eliminated a race condition that could make it not function on possibly slower computers...although if your computer is that slow, you probably don't need a limiter anyway.
My PC is high end, with a very powerful (and expensive) graphics card. The case is practically a giant fan, plus the graphics card has its own fan and heat sink, so I'm probably not in any danger of burning out my graphics card but, I figured, why take any chances? I've been loading the game from the TS3.exe. I think I'll just stick with that.

This is wonderful. Couldn't get awesome mod to work before - game kept crashing. Saw this and thought I'd try yet again because only you can fix this game and was determined to get it up and running. So I now use the 3booter.
And lo - it loaded
Oh most gracious high lord of All Sims I bow down to your greatness.

Insanity Prelude:
So does fpslimit require 3Booter or what? I haven't had overheating problems so far, but I don't want to risk it, and I'm not having crashing problems.
