Does anyone use The Sims 3 with Steam? Is an internal FPS limiter possible?

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.


Yes, and you can run processor intensive tasks without considering what the other computers are doing.
Plus, you can have them anywhere in the house and just remote in and out of them, almost the same as alt-tabbing.

...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.

My poorly labeled start menu folder for games is called "Games".

Heck, you're expecting too much of someone whose IQ is somewhere between that of a bowl of tapioca and a turnip.

Yay sarcasm...
I was serious about two screens. If you feel like you'd seriously use more screen space, that's something to consider. If you can play the sims 3 you probably have a standalone video card that handles two screens without a fuss (takes like 3 minutes to set up if you have a GeForce, haven't had a chance to work with Radeon). So it's a question of whether you have $200 (a used screen is even cheaper) and how much you're unhappy with having to tab out.
Looks like Claeric could enjoy the experience. (also looks like they wouldn't come up with the idea to get an extra screen on their own) Just saying...
