TS3/TSM: The Pudding / The World Of Pudding / Re: I don't get it..

I'm not sure what a "Frame rate tear" or a "random pause" is.
It's similar to the 1 AM lag, except it happens 5 times or so every real life minute. Everything remains frozen for a couple seconds during the lag, then the frame rate returns back to normal. |

TS3/TSM: The Pudding / The World Of Pudding / I don't get it..

The Sims 3 has way too many frame rate tears and random pauses during gameplay. (Not including the 1 AM lag.) I don't understand why because I can play games like Resident Evil 5 on my computer with perfect frame rate and without lag or framerate tears. How can I get my game to run smoothly? Here's a partial of my DxDIAG if it helps (can't fit the whole thing): ------------------

That's how EA does genius; it shows several intellectual actions as being something they wouldn't like to do. For example, chess is something geniuses apparently don't want to do.. which makes no sense.

TS3/TSM: The Pudding / The World Of Pudding / Re: What defines "Growing up well"?

It has something to do with teaching your toddler how to walk and/or talk. If I neglect them both, my toddlers are always assigned random traits when they grow up. If I teach the toddler both things, they always grow up well.
I don't know what will happen if you do only one.
