I know that on Windows, Sims 3 is extremely limited compared to Mac, and I find it unfair that worlds that run smoothly on Mac are horrifically laggy, if not impossible to load on Windows, no matter how old or modern your system.
To which I present to you, Tokyosou.
Tokyosou is a Japanese-themed world with extensive detail, several lots, almost all vacant, everything crafted extensively and tirelessly. This presents a problem for Windows users because as far as I know, we have no way to play a world that uses more than 2GB of ram, especially since Sims 3 is 32bit on Windows systems.
Is there a 64-bit patch somewhere for people who legally own the game, as the patches for Sims 1 on Windows10? Is there a rundown on how to make it stop crashing, even if it doesn't solve the lag? Do I have to remove nraas Story Progression or find a mod to prevent vacant houses from populating? I'll do just about anything but pay money to get this world to work, I don't have $1k for a new computer at the moment, and my Windows laptop is extremely in-depth and runs everything else smoothly.
I use AMD's Ryzen 5 and Radeon Vega graphics cards and have 16GB of ram.
For things that I have tried, I may as well list them:
-Windowed mode
-Turning every graphics setting to the lowest possible setting
-Disabling all unnecessary stuff packs
-Lowering the game memory limit to 3.5GB. Crashes are far less common, but the lag still makes it borderline unplayable at times.
-Making the memory limit larger
-Loading from 3Booter
-Loading from TS3W
-Loading from the launcher
-Loading from LD's Sims3Launcher, Which does not work with DIGITAL Origin installs of TS3, as I discovered even the Origin-Based package doesn't help

No, not trolling, just stupid apparently lol
I didn't sleep much, but this actually explains a lot! I painstakingly saved every lot beforehand, just in case it was moreso display only, so I can put my favorites into a smaller world, like Mayumachi. I guess I saw the 64-byte update, and used my knowledge on other 32-byte games to base it on. Thank you so much!

I find this odd as I am on Origin 1.69 and have no problem loading the Smooth Patch, I did have to make my antivirus accept it as not a virus and stop quarantining it though. It has helped alot and I am running on a laptop atm also (MSI gaming laptop, mid range). I don't really get any error 12's on it but the game does on occasion crash (I really should probably not have quite as much CC as I do, although I had a lot more on my last desktop) but it is sadly still 32 bit and while I know there was one ambitious person a while back who started on a 64 bit mod they didn't get far and kind of disappeared. I don't think we will be seeing one for the PC side. And I am not holding out a huge amount of hope that EA will get SIms5 right as they clearly don't listen to the long term fan base of the game.

The sakura trees are beautiful in that world but that is alot.....but I really love sakura trees. May have to download and see if I can clean it up enough to play because I do want some nice asian worlds, even if I do just use them as vacation worlds.

Really? LD tells me I need to install Origin, like so. Note that I've got it opened in this screenshot.

But yes, I'd love to have an edited version since it actually makes my computer borderline die. I, sadly, don't know how to edit it much at all

If you have it downloaded from Origin then you should already have origin installed as it doesn't open without it Origin installed sadly. You may need to uninstall and reinstall origin? Or repair the game maybe?

I tried it, but it didn't work sadly. My internet was out all day so I'm sorry I didn't reply sooner!

Heya, sorry just now seeing this, I am the creator of that world ^_^; There were three major issues causing lag that I found and fixed with a new update. One of which was that the festival lot had like, hundreds of hidden spawners that had bleed through from a previous version of the lot (fixed that), flushed npc inventories, and deleted a few things off each lot. So if you'd like to see if the newer update runs better please check and let me know.

Edit:Nvm ebflover I think you're the same person on the other forums lol

As for long term play, tbh I have only play tested one family for a full term so it probably is true you can't play long. I suppose I could always do a lite version someday or put an empty world for others to do as they will in the future when I get more time to delete/edit it down. Maybe even a population free one at the very least. I tend to play more story oriented or for pics so my playstyle isn't quite the norm.

Hi, I installed this world because im planing to use it for pictures, but as son as I put my sims in a house the game goes loading and then crashes

Hi!
I also have high end computer, but due to the limited resourses of 32-bit I encountered the same issue in my game, but after making the changes outlined in this article : https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfi.../?id=1131162350, my game became more stable. However, keep in mind that not all of the settings they recommend are ideal for every setup. For example the changes to the GraphicRules.cfg file with slapping same number for every cpu is stupid and so on.

I read that you made some changes, but they are not enought actually

Much appreciated! Anything to help is great.

I'm glad to hear that!

The first thing you should do is to use this tool https://www.nexusmods.com/thesims3/mods/106

if you can run Bridgeport or Isla Paradiso with less to none problems before, you don't need to change anything, it's definitely the custom world's undoing.
