last update september 09th 2023.

In this list I will share my tips that can help you to improve your game (better graphics, less lag) and I really recommend it. Credits to all the cc creators & check their blogs if the mods are updated.

Clean your pc

01 | Delete all the scratch & temp. Delete uninstalled and unused app, app folders and other folders. Update your drivers. Always do disk cleanup.

02 | Delete the "eletronic arts" caches: cachestr, cache, resource, onlinethumbnailcache, avatarcache, localthumbcache, lastexception, musics, clientDB, scratch (always before open the game).

03 | Don't keep files in your tray folder (only a few that are necessary for you).

04 | Create a folder with shortcuts to these caches mentioned on number 01 and 02, this way it's easier to always clean them.

Organize your game

05 | Move your screenshots and videos out of the electronic arts folder (keep it on pendrive, one drive or other).

06 | Create only few folders (with categories) inside the mod folder. In my mods folder I have four (I recommend not adding any folders inside these).

07 | Remove or update old mods. Don't keep duplicate or conflicting mods, this is very important (you can use Sims4 Mod Manager).

08 | Use Sims4 Studio to merge the CC from each creator or category (as you prefer). Organize the names of these merged packages, to make it easy for you to find.

09 | Check the CC polygons, big numbers mean heavier cc. Also the weight of them.

Configurations

10 | In power options, select high performance. Put the game in administrator mode. When starting the game, open the task manager and set priority to "High".

11 | Keep configuring the game graphics until you notice a difference in the speed. Put the audios in the middle. Uncheck unnecessary things for you, example: "connect automatically".

12 | Keep as few favorites in the gallery as possible, this way it will open faster and become lighter.

high graphics settings +  post processing effects on + lotharihoe’s “into the light” + lotharihoe’s “out of the dark” + softerhaze’s no blu no orange

HOW TO MAKE YOUR GAME LOOK BETTER

♡ watch the youtube video here ♡

better graphics, lighting mods, and more

*things by lotharihoe have a strikethrough because they moved from patreon to being curseforge exclusive. i don't support curseforge because of their ties to the idf. if you really want the graphics mods, google them.*

sunblind world lighting overhaul

simps setters (better graphics + shadows)

gshade presets: 1 / 2 (1/29/24: updated links for strudel)

into the light / out of the dark (like no glo + no blu)

cubemap remover

pool water replacements

brighter foundations

terrain and nature overrides

map replacements

san sequoia bridge override

cloud replacements 1 / 2

My Love Selena - Chapter Four, pt 1

Selena " What should we cook for dinner?" Richard (smirks) " I know what I want for dinner" Richard leaned forward teasingly Selena (giggles as she pushes him slightly) "I'm serious, ma and pa are coming over. I want to make them something delicious" Richard listed some dinner options and offered that he'll grill some meat as well. Selena nods in approval. Richard " Can I tell you something?" Selena looked at him Richard " You look beautiful with your hair up" Richard kissed Selena's lips and smiled.

It's been a minute since I've done one of these, but here's a new set of legacy challenge rule cards. This time, it's the 4 Generation SEASONS LEGACY by @ginovasims

The cool thing about this challenge is the choice in options, so even though you're playing the same challenge as others, your Sims legacy could come out completely different!

Graphics by me! 🖤What challenge should I make graphics for next??

Hey, love your blog! Would it be possible for you to tell us exactly what changes you made to your GraphicsRules file and what they do? I’m torn between using yours or SimpSetters by Simp4Sims! Thank you :-)

Hiii... I remember most of what I changed, which was not a lot. Just forewarning because for whatever reason, I forgot to save the original from the last update.

I keep my settings on the highest available, so I only updated the lines that coincide with the max settings in game options.

Lighting quality - changed shadow size for larger shadows

Object quality - using LittleDica's tutorial - changed to use the bigger textures to get rid of blurriness. This number could be 2048 (2K) since most creators don't go beyond that. I just decided to use 4096 (4K) in case some do.

Sim quality - changed texture sizes to allow 2K and the minimum LOD.

Even with my graphics card (RTX 3090), the sims did not look as good until I changed these things. I tried using Simp's settings, but after a lot of experimenting (and jacking up my game), I found I only needed to change a few things to be happy with how my game looks.

Hope this answers your question. 😊
