Does this require the framework? Because I still want to use 3Booter & FPS Limiter, but I just installed Ambitions and I did the new install method in My Docs/Mods and I removed the old framework.

ShortyBoo I don't have the frame work in I took all my mods and packages out to try Ambitions.  When my card started screaming and going at over 150 fps I decided to try the limiter.  It worked first time just put the file in your ambitions directory this includes the 3booter execute, fps limiter execute, HookHelper dll and Limiter D3D9 dll those are the files I used.

The point, you missed it. You can run FPS limiter, using the files Kraken listed, without having Awesomemod installed.

I know that. I just refuse to play my game without AM.

I ran Ambitions without mods. Because my former graphics card blew up I turned fps on to check. I seldom saw more than 60 fps, which was different before Ambitions. Could it be that EA worked a limiter in with the newest patch?

It could be they did something. I pulled the limiter to test it out and ran about 2 hours and rarely went over 60. Stayed pretty consistently between 50-60fps.

eta: CAS bumps me up to a steady 100+ fps without the limiter.

In a Vanilla game but running with the Vitality exe I saw more than 150 fps and that was just on the loading screen.  I left to grab a coffee and when I came back the air blasting out of the case, and it has five fans, was very hot and the game was running in map view.  I checked via the cheat menu and it was still whopping up over a 150 fps.  I would be interested to know if this was a fluke but I was not taking a chance with my card screaming at me.

What should the resource.cfg look like that we leave in the root folder with this mod? The same as the new Documents/Sims3/Mods one?

ShortyBoo I don't have the frame work in I took all my mods and packages out to try Ambitions.  When my card started screaming and going at over 150 fps I decided to try the limiter.  It worked first time just put the file in your ambitions directory this includes the 3booter execute, fps limiter execute, HookHelper dll and Limiter D3D9 dll those are the files I used.

I'm banging my head against a wall with this. I've installed the four files you indicate above into Program Files/Electronic Arts/The Sim 3 Ambitions and then I tried creating a Mods folder there and putting it in that. No luck. What am I missing?

Edit: Re-downloading 3booter did the trick. Not sure why, but I'm pleased anyway.

If you have the 4 files in C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 Ambitions and are using 3booter.exe to start your game, it should be working.

I unzipped the 3booter tool in my directory right where the resource is as you said would prevent the crash, but it didn't
the game still crashes when loading. Do you know why?

He never said it would prevent crashes.

Is your game refusing to cooperate and crashes immediately after looking like this a lot?

[image snipped]

We don't know what causes it, and this won't solve that, but at least you won't have to relaunch the game. Just plop it in your root install directory next to resource.cfg and Mods directory, and point your shortcut at 3booter.exe instead. If the game crashes within 30 seconds of an attempted start, 3booter will kick it in the taco.

3booter-win.zip

All it does is automatically restart the game if it does crash at the load screen so you don't have to.

Also, there are a lot of causes of crashes and yours may or may not be the well known load screen crashes that everyone just has to live with and keep re-trying until the game loads.

If, for example, this is your first time using mods and in particular awesomemod then there is a specific process for setting things up that varies depending on which version (expansion pack and patches) of the game you are running. You also need to make sure to run the version of awesomemod that's appropriate to your game version.

Search around here or Mod the Sims for more information regarding setting up your game to use mods correctly.

It turns out I did need the fps limiter after all. I've got it running fine (via 3booter) with Ambitions but how do I run it windowed? I tried the obvious of creating a shortcut to 3booter and passing in the -w command as normal but it still ran fullscreen.

My guess would be to add the -w to TS3EP02.exe I run Sims 3 windowed (set from in-game) and 3-booter loads it windowed when I have it set up windowed from in-game.

You guessed correct, cheers. I just carried on using the -w command line arg from Sims2.

Windowedness is set as an option in-game, you do not need to futz with switches for it. Just uncheck "Full Screen".

I should have said that I switched to the in game option that I didn't realise was there. I always run windowed and was using the -w on the direct shortcut to the exe (as per Grimma's guess) and assumed incorrectly that any command line args would be passed through to the game when I ran via 3booter.

After triple checking it appears that the FPS Limiter is no longer working in my game. I always start my game with 3Booter(installed as directed in the Sims3 root) and a couple patches ago I noticed that I wasn't getting the big green 30 in the top left corner of my screen anymore. I checked recently in game with "fps on" and it reports frame rates of 80+. I re-downloaded/installed and checked again in game and I'm still getting high frame rates ...

Help?

Have you re-downloaded 3Booter? That worked for me.
Also, FYI, hitting F10 toggles the green numbers and you can do it on the loading screen to check if it's working.

Re-downloaded and installed 3Booter - Frame Limiter still not functioning ... Thanks for the F10 tip.

Edited to add: I've rechecked, re-downloaded and re-installed 3Booter and Frame Limiter and Frame Limiter is still not working. It's currently very hot where I live and I fear for my video card. Any more help would be wonderful.

Finally found the solution. After trying and trying to keep everything in the Sims 3 directory I was forced to move it into the Ambitions directory instead. I should have thought of this solution sooner. Now both Frame Limiter and Awesome work. Hopefully if anyone else runs into this they can try what I did and maybe it will work for them.

Thanks cassblonde. You answered a needed question. I am just about to try 3booter and FL for the first time. Thought it was pretty obvious that it would have to go in the root of the lastest XPack or StufPak, but confirmation is always helpfull.
