TOOL: 3Booter, the Incooperative Game Kicker
Matildarose:
Thanks for that bit of advice, Crash. 3Booter currently is allergic to CC Magic, and the Awesomemod updater, which allowed me to use it, isn't updated to the new patch (quite understandably, due to holidays and sudden patch release).
I'll update in this thread if I notice anything on my end for those of us using this method.

There's been some talk on a German Sims 3 forum recently that using FPS Limiter with a DirectX 11 graphics card can lead to the card burning out. The thread is here: http://www.simforum.de/showthread.php?t=184232 but it's obviously in German. In short, it seems like the program is forcing backward compatibility with with DirectX8 which can lead to card burn out. I admit, I don't understand all of it. Perhaps someone smarter than I will find that it's just a bunch of hullabaloo over nothing, or maybe it's useful information for people with DirectX 11 cards.
J. M. Pescado:
I find this line of reasoning implausible, since what this would mean is that those new graphics cards would burst into flames upon encountering older DX8/9 games. What is PROBABLY happening is that FPSlimiter simply isn't working as it relies upon old hooks that may or may not still exist in new 64bit OSen, and the game is thus doing the natural thing of causing your card to burst into flames through overwork like it usually does. However, I wouldn't entirely rule out the possibility that new shit really is simply that badly made.
However, we can't really do anything about this: FPSlimiter itself is a third-party utility and not made by us. You are not required to use it with 3booter. In fact, you may not need to use it at all, as the original purpose of this program has sort of faded and I only really use it to launch with FPSlimiter now anyway. It's up to you.
Capitaine Marie:
So are 3Booter and FPSLimiter still being supported? I tried running my game from just the TS3W.exe, and my FPS jumped into the 90s.
J. M. Pescado:
3booter is still supported and works in all setups. fpslimiter, however, is a third-party tool and cannot be supported from there, although I'm still using it and it still works for me. Reports are that it doesn't work for people in Windoze 7 and shit, though. I wouldn't know, because I haven't seen any good reason to switch. Even Microsoft isn't a big fan of their own OS, because they're reportedly already dumping it.
