Yes, yes it is. Or maybe it isn't. Try searching a little, I'm sure I've seen that issue mentioned before. Protip: The locals like it when you use proper spelling and grammar.

I just found about a fix for blocky shadows with ATI cards (http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/300915.page ) but unfortunately does not work with 3booter.
I have no idea why an edited .sgr file, referring to GC rules, would conflict with 3booter. As soon as I edited the file, I tried to open my game through 3booter and the only thing that happened is that it just kept booting itself, with the command prompt box openning and closing. The only way to stop this was to kill the process tree , since just killing the process was giving me an "access denied" error. Of course the game never started.
To make sure it did conflict and the file did not just mess up with my game, I started the game through the launcher. Launcher crashed , as it always does, but the game started with no problem. The blocky shadows where gone (general graphics were not as sharp as before though), my ATI was at 75 fps tops (CAS) - i have "wait for vertical refresh" enabled - at 76C and the fan was going insane and loud slowing down and speeding up within seconds, at an average of 84%. Also had a random crash to desktop for no reason at all, like the ones I had before FPS limiter.
Even though "wait for vertical refresh" is keeping my frame rate way below the 450 fps i used to have without it, the card still seems to get stresed, and I'm not confortable enought to get rif of the fps limiter, since my card seems less overworked and it's fan speed is always stable at 80% tops, at 74 C which instantly drops, with it. Also, since this option is only active during gameplay, it's getting inactive a second before the game closes, resulting the fps to skyrocket back to 450, in that single second. No idea if it is risky for the GC to suddenly run at 450 fps and back to less than 20 in a single second, but it doesn't look good to a n00b like me.
Blocky shadows has always been an issue for ATI card users with Sims 3 , and crystal clear graphics with blocky shadows looks kinda weird. It has been reduced with the newest drivers , but it'still there. Anyway the fix can work with 3booter?
J. M. Pescado:
I can't think of any good reason why that would happen. If it repeatedly does that, it's because the game doesn't boot or because you put something in wrong.

Ok, I think I'm so blabby that people don't get what i'm saying ... That was exactly my point. With this fix the game won't boot through the booter, but it boots fine through the launcher. If I had put something wrong , the game wouldn't load from the launcher either. So I'm guessing there must be a weird conflicks with the fix and the booter , even though , in my n00b mind, why would that happen doesn't make sence at all
