The tool was last updated in 2014 but still works with Sims 3, if you want to try Do you still get flickering if you don't use compatibility mode for Sims 3? Please test and let me know. If the Control Panel settings don't have any effect, there's a tool called D3D Overrider that allows you to force v-sync in older games. You can also try Adaptive and Adaptive (half refresh rate) the latter will cap fps at 30, which may not be what you want but is a good test of whether the setting is applying at all. Right-click on your desktop and select the Nvidia Control Panel, then Manage 3D settings > Program Settings, and you'll see this:Ĭhoose TS3.exe (without the W) in the green box, then set Vertical sync to On (red box), and click Apply.

Still, it's easy to test, and you don't need to download anything. However, I don't know whether forcing v-sync through the Nvidia Control Panel will work with your particular setup-it often doesn't with dual-card laptops.

V-sync is supposed to sync the frames the graphics card produces with the refresh rate of your screen, in this case 60 Hz, so when it's working, you won't see fps above 60. And if the game runs better for you in compatibility mode, which would be unusual but is certainly possible, I'm curious to know which mode you're using.įorcing vertical sync, which only applies to fullscreen mode, often helps with flickering. GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M Do you still get flickering if you don't use compatibility mode for Sims 3? Please test and let me know. I tried running the game in compatibility mode.

I have no custom content or mods installed.Īlso, the graphics are as low as possible. However, it doesn't happen when fullscreen mode is disabled, and the weird thing is that when I try to screen record the problem (using Win+G), it stops. This time, I only downloaded the base game from Origin. I thought that expansion packs might be the cause of this and uninstalled the game and all the expansion packs again. I still continued to have the same problem. Then, I decided to uninstall the Origin version and downloaded the game from Steam. I've played it without having major problems for almost a week but for the last few days, I haven't been able to enjoy the game like I used to.

Everything is fine when I do absolutely nothing.Ģ weeks ago, I downloaded TS3 via Origin with all the expansion packs. I'm not sure if 'flickering' is the right term to explain it but it's much more than the usual lags that The Sims 3 is famous for. It happens when I move around. I've been having this issue for a couple of days now and it makes the game completely unplayable. I've looked online and I haven't been able to find anything useful yet.
