The mods that were updated for Patch 1.55 can be used with Island Paradise (unless there’s another patch) and do not need updating again. If you want to continue with your town right away, do so on a backup so you can go back should anything go wrong. If you want to be on the safe side, also remove your mods/custom content. Installing the EP will reset all your Sims so for example not being in a vacation town orat the time, reduces the changes of game corruption. Most of the things stated here: What to do before patching do still apply. I do recommend to backup all your stuff, most importantly the DCCache folder and the Saves folder. It saved a ton of hassle and time fixing the buggy worlds before playing.Island Paradise is almost upon us, so time for me to make this post. I did this for all my TS3 worlds, created master worlds after I had fixed their issues and set them up the way I wanted. Launch the game and play straight away without having to make any changes. Then whenever you want to play in IP, all you have to do is copy/paste this already fixed up world into your Sims 3 saves folder, rename the world (example would be AdamsIP if you are going to create a household named Adams). Move that copy to a folder called “Worlds” inside your EA folder but not the Sims 3 folder.
The lag is no worse than it is in any other EA world.Īlso, once you have finished doing all of this then you will want to save a copy of this world before you create your household. I did all of this and had very little lag other than the ones caused at 3am when everything resets or when the town is on the move (going to work, school, etc). If there is a spot that is a routing nightmare (and there are several) then wild animals (strays) will find them and get stuck. Obviously, this will cause routing issues. The game loves to put multiple horses on houseboats.
The sims 3 island paradise lag mod#
Use the NRAAS register mod to remove horses and wild animals from your world. This family is bugged and then delete their houseboat so nobody moves into it. Use the NRAAS Master Controller mod to annihilate the Scott family (you can’t just delete them because they are hard coded into the game and will cause issues, they have to be completely removed using the mod). Use the cheat to discover all islands, this removes the clouds which is a known lag issue. Now go into live mode and do the following: I highly suggest editing all houses and checking those spiral staircases, most of them are turned wrong and Sims can’t use them but keep trying and it causes routing failure lag.They don’t need to be moving their house boats. I have seen NPCs moving their homes and getting stuck in unroutable channels causing massive lags. Go to every houseboat that you are not playing and remove their steering wheels.I kept getting route failure notifications because of that ladder. Collins household – evict them and remove the ladder going to the very top floor.You can remake the rec room into a bedroom.
Remove everything on the upper floors so they won’t want to visit them.
