Cool thanks, I'll have to suss out how to get all the cheats enabled as default like I used to in TS2 with that config file that is loaded at startup - i forget the exact filename but you probably know the one I mean - as you can tell I'm new to TS3 but am sure I'll spend more time fiddling with how the game works than actually playing it, I certainly did with TS2. Thanks again jordi.

Hey there.

Iis there a way to edit the relationships between sims in TS3 like there was in 2 with SimPE? I could do with a tool like that?

Preferably whilst in-game, so I could say, make a married couple not married without any bad socials, or make a couple married who weren't, etc, maybe by using the console window or something in a AwesomeMod? But if I have to do it from outside of the game I'll hack away at it.

Thanks very much in advance for any help with this.

Running TS3 with AwesomeMod on a PowerColor HD 4670 PCS Edition 512MB GDDR3, and on a 28 inch LCD at 1920x1200 native.

I get 90-100 FPS max (like staring at a very simple shape like a flat wall), about 50fps when playing normally looking at my sims, and about 30-40fps when zoomed right out and spinning around the neighbourhood.

The room the rig is in is air conditioned so I generally see CPU (Athlon X2 4850e) at about 29C with the stock cooler and Hard Drive (WD VelociRaptor) at 19C. Case is cooled by six silent 120mm fans and graphics card gets up to about 56 C when playing, which if I  remember from my OC'ing days doesn't sound like much of a temp to worry about, but then it is a pretty midrange GFX card and that temp is the highest thing in my system by far.

So, given that data, in your opinion would I get much benefit (from running the fpslimiter, or is that nothing to worry about?

I ask because I can get AwesomeMod to run fine on second boot every time (since it always does the strange loading screen crash first time) and I love AwesomeMod. I tried 3booter and the game still boots second time, but it doesn't automatically do the second boot - I still have to do it manually, not sure why. Maybe my game takes too long (over 30S) to get to the crash point? Is there a way to automatically kill the unnecessary loading screens/vids other than hitting ESC as the vid starts, which would bring the first time TS3 booting crash to within the 30second window so that 3booter can do it's job?

Thanks,
Lu.
