Does anyone use The Sims 3 with Steam? Is an internal FPS limiter possible?
Claeric:
Well, I hate Valve (they're really stupid, and they know all about "Valve Time" but joke about it instead of trying to fix it), and I cannot stand that you can't customize non-steam games, but it's a hell of a lot easier to access my games than a ton of desktop shortcuts or having to remember which poorly labeled start menu folder they're in. And it means I can go to the browser or a chat without having to alt-tab, meaning I can play in constant full screen.
There are no downsides to this, so I'm not sure what's so crazy about liking it. It's nothing but convenience.
Tever:
It's DRM. You don't buy games through Steam. You just rent them for an indefinite period. I think it's a decent enough exchange for the convenience at the moment since the only game I have that requires an internet connection to play is TF2, but there's always the risk of Valve breaking up or getting bought out and the system being turned against us like other companies do.
Claeric:
You guys must be missing the part where I'm not buying games to begin with. I'm using the steam UI. Not the store.

I still think getting a second screen is a more efficient solution. No switching nonsense. Great for multitasking. 22" screens run for less than 200 bucks as far as I remember (and you don't need a powerful screen if it's your secondary). Price worth the comfort of work.

This is even MORE stupid, since the entire reason Steam allows this is because STEAM IS SPYWARE and by allowing to run even when not necessary, you are allowing them to SPY ON YOU and see everything you are doing, MORON.

Just get an entire second computer. That way you can multitask even better, because one computer locking up won't affect the other one at all.
